Temper your expectations. AFAIK there are no good authentic Cuba ln sandwiches in the city. Wiley Gunters has a decent one, little Havana has an ok one (don't let the name fool you most of their food is pretty far from authentic but some is passable)

Kommie pigs isn’t bad.

Little Havana had great mojitos. The food was always meh but also not the point.

I've never actually had theirs and I've only ever seen them at food truck events.

Yeah I love little Havana. Just don't go there expecting an authentic dining experience. It's decent bar food with a great atmosphere

It’s not traditional but the Cubanelle from Dipasquales claps cheeks.

Regionale in Canton has a pretty good one.

El Taquito in Fells had a cubano sandwich on their menu last time I was in there more than a year ago. It was cheap, it was massive, and it was pretty fine!

its been years for me, but i do remember enjoying the one at little havana, and regionale - now i feel like i need one in my life

I enjoyed the Cubano from Lighhouse Liquors in Canton.

Totally agree. This place makes fantastic sandwiches.

One of my fav Cubans

I went back to Little Havana last month for the first time in maybe 10 or 12 years and it was absurdly bad. In the 00's it was a passable brunch/day-drinking spot for twenty-somethings, but today its Cuban sandwich is complete garbage. Don't waste time there, OP.

Not Little Havana… that’s for sure. Was gross AF

Nice timing, just yesterday I was thinking about how disappointing the cuban sandwiches in this city are.

Luigi’s in Hampden makes a pretty decent one.

Listen to this people.

Little Havana has the worst food known to man

Idk what these snooty booty high falutin redditors are eating in their daily lives that they think little Havana is garbage lol. It’s solidly good food for a very reasonable price, and the view is spectacular.

This feels a bit hyperbolic.

Yeah lots of hate but I've never had anything bad there. Mediocre sure but that's a long way from bad.

Sorry to sound like a doofus but what exactly is a Cuban sandwich?

little havanah is basically there for drinks with a view of the harbor. food is honestly pretty shit if you want authentic. I've been to miami a good deal and work with hispanics in restaurants. like food isn't shit on its own and i will eat it, it just isn't near authentic tho from eating there it does seem like a bit is microwaved.

as someone that works in restaurants. most of their food seems microwaved tbh..... it isn't the worst, but like it really isn't even average.

Regionale has a pretty good one as well as Lighthouse liquors, both in Canton grab one of each and you decide which you like best :)!

No pan = no cubano

I swear to beans, anyone who says little Havana needs to be downvoted into oblivion

There’s a LOT of disappointing, regional food in Baltimore to be honest.

They changed things up with the remodel after taking over the 7-11 and I think are going more of a restaurant base. Do they still have sandwiches? I know they didn't have even 1/4 of as many last time I went.

And in light of the topic of this thread, the cuban is the most consistently good thing there

Pork, ham, cheese, pickle mustard on Cuban bread. Tampa style adds salami. Lots of people put lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo, but I prefer mustard, pickle, meat, cheese and bread.

All the hipster Hampden dick riders on this sub act like anyplace cool kids went in their 20s is horrible. I went there after kickball and flag football at Riverside plenty of times, had a bunch of Cuban sandwiches to go with my Modelos, they were never bad.

Are they that good? Never felt like paying $25 for a sandwich.

You need good Cuban bread to start. No one in the city makes good bread so don’t even try the sandwich without it!

Little Havana has good ropa vieja…

The bread on DiPasq sandwiches is mindblowningly good.

Came here looking for this.

I’ve always felt like the sandwich scene in Baltimore has always been lacking

Little Havana’s food is garbage and always has been. The food isn’t even “passable”, let alone edible

I’ll always downvote anyone for mentioning little Havana that place is only around for waterfront drinking. And that’s ok.

Right, we can’t rely on Ekiben to be the only sandwich shop in Baltimore. We have Attmans and a handful of solid Italian delis. And while pit beef is great, it’s possibly the most boring sandwich in the country.

Luigis is my go to for a good sandwich.

Baltimore has a good but narrow food scene. Tons of Italian and Greek and Nepalese. But entire swaths of cuisine just missing.

I don't understand how we don't have a good cheesesteak place.

>No one in the city makes good bread

Cunningham's makes kick ass bread and provides it to places like The Wine Source.

gave me food poisoning

I should’ve clarified-no one in the city makes good Cuban bread. (Tampa native, but Baltimore more the rest of my life) 👍🏽

There used to be a food truck that came to McKeldin Square by the harbor on Wednesday that had the best Cuban in the city, and bomb fries (when they were fresh), but can't find them since the pandemic. If anyone remembers that food truck, comment with their name.

Cubans are not hard to make at home, and they will be far superior to anything you can get at a restaurant.

Sabor de Cuba...in Frederick.

Its the one thing this town does not have. Cuba De Ayer off 29 is the closest legit Cuban food.

Closest you’ll get that’s actually good is El Chavo from La Cocina Luchadoras in Fells

It’s because everyone here orders cheesesteaks with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Absolute scrubs.

God it's so terrible.

I mean you gotta, because they're so bad here otherwise. Perhaps it's a vicious cycle.

Stop this violence immediately 😡

Chaps Pit Beef. Not authentic but:
