When you enter the gas station store turn right, walk ahead and you'll end up at the counter for Belkis. Fast, super friendly service. Great portion size and prices. Exceptional food! No contest the BEST cuban sandwich I have ever had. Exemplary meat/filling to bread ratio. The bread was fresh and perfectly crisp with garlic (I'm pretty certain) grilled onto the outside of it. The meat was tender and not at all greasy. There was the perfect amount of ham to pork to cheese to pickles to mustard. All around there was not a single thing I did not love about my cuban! I also got a very large portion of plantains. They were hot and cooked to the best texture. The Cuban and the plantains cost me $22 and supplied me with two and a half meals.

The Cuban sandwich was very good. The bread tasted so good. A very good combination of flavors. We came when they first opened and we were the only two guests.

The minute I knew I would be back in the area, I was determined to eat here again. The food was just as great as the first time. I had the spicy cuban sandwich and perfect. Although, I couldn't manage to eat it all. Now I understand why a nearby table ordered the same thing and split it between two people. The young woman that was working was an absolute sweetheart.

We got the Cubano and the vegetarian sandwiches. Both were very tasty. I personally wished the cubano had a bit more meat, but the women in my group thought it was just right. Perhaps my favorite part of our visit was the coffee. I ordered the condado, which is 4 ounces of expresso. It was so smooth and delicious! The others got lattes and they found them to be delicious as well. Definitely worthy of a return visit.
