I have never had a Tampa Cuban. I am from "old school" Miami originally and really don't like the idea of salami in my Cuban sandwich. I would think that the salami would overpower the flavor of the pork. But I am really looking forward to trying this Tampa version when I go to visit. I didn't know there was even a festival for my favorite sandwich! Well, I do want to add that when I was a kid, I preferred the Media Noche over a Cuban because I liked the sweet bread better. As an adult and living many years away from the Cuban Cuisine territory, and my palate being exposed to authentic flavors all over the world, I have come to appreciate the original Cuban bread very much. So glad this popped up on my feed since I will be visiting the area in a couple of weeks! And hope to someday hit that festival!

The best Tampa Cuban is made in Ybor City. The Columbia has a great Cuban. My opinion is that a small little place in West Tampa corner of Habana and Tampa Bay which had been sold made the sandwich even better than the Columbia in Ybor. Why? The Serrano ham was pan seared first before placing into the sandwich for the Plancha press. Everything else exactly the same, but trust me much more flavor and aroma. Whoever that owner was, I miss him/her. God bless. Bob and Nancy from Clearwater.

I think when most folks think of a classic Cuban sandwich outside the Tampa area (and Florida in general) it is the Miami version. Probably due in part to the 2014 movie “Chef” with Jon Favreau as that is the one they did in the movie. Also, every time I have had a Cuban (admittedly in California but also at Disney World area) it is without salami.

The Cuban sandwich does not have salami! That's heresy! No olives, either. The classic Cuban sandwich has ham, pierna meat (roasted leg of pork), Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard....That's it! The meat is piled to 2-3 inches, the Cuban bread ( the original) should be toasty and the entire sandwich should be hot. Add a batido de trigo ( wheat Puff milkshake) and it's a full meal.

Although there is some debate as to the contents of a "true" Cuban sandwich, most are generally agreed upon. The traditional Cuban sandwich starts with Cuban bread. The loaf is sliced into lengths of 8-12 inches (20-30 cm), lightly buttered or brushed with olive oil on the crust, and cut in half horizontally. A coat of yellow mustard is spread on the bread and the meats are added in layers: roast pork (Pernil or sometimes marinated in mojo),[21] glazed ham, and salami. Swiss cheese and thinly sliced dill pickles complete the traditional ingredients.[

Best Cuban in Tampa was at the 4th of July Cafe on 7th Ave.

The guy about not too much or too little meat had it right. I drove truck local in Tampa area and sampled a lot of cuban sandwiches, but never got to try Columbia, however an old guy in a food truck used to make the best one's i tried.

Brocatos (est. 1948) has THE best Cuban sandwich and devil crab in Tampa. Go eat one--you will not be disappointed.

Brocatos USED to have a good Cuban. They don’t even press them anymore and the quality has gone down the past few years.

Yea they stopped pressing due to sheer volume of orders but i live 1 mile away and still occasionally support them maybe once or twice a year but i get my cubans from the Latin grocery store

Thanks for the inspiration to make the best sandwich. However, it was way too salty for my taste. My next attempt I will use 1/2 as much seasoning.

I don't know about the Miami Cuban sandwich. But I do know that the Tampa version is superb!:) For my money, La Colombia is the best. A close second is La Teresita. Either one is delicious!:)

As I watched this video… I noticed a bunch of people who were born and raise up North pretend to know what the best Tampa bay sandwich is… they should of found actual locals not transplants, and discovered real FL Cuban food

Para mí, los mejores sándwiches cubanos son los de la Barra Payan, cerca de mi casa.
