Luana Ocean’s Must-Try Menu
So what exactly is a ‘Cuban Sandwich’?
Ahh β got it!
It’s called a ‘Cuban Sandwich’ because it originated in Cuba (^3^)/
Naturally, that’s exactly what we ordered β
Behold β the Cuban Sandwich (^O^)
Pressed flat and golden, the crispy bread is loaded with roast pork, tangy pickles, and three types of melted cheese β a heavenly stack.
The bread is crisp on the outside but still soft inside β never tough β and packed with generous slices of house-made roast pork. Halfway through, the bright zing of pickles hits perfectly (^3^)/
And that gooey melted cheese? Absolute perfection!
This Cuban Sandwich is hands-down a winner for lunch (^O^)
