Cuba 512

Cuba 512 has been on our hot list for a while now. I was extremely excited to finally get a chance to stop in and see what all the fuss was about.
We walked in and instantly received a wonderful smile along with a friendly greeting… we decided to sit in a booth near the window. It was a beautiful day. I was ready to enjoy the experience.
I already had my menu planned out, but I caught an eye of the Cuban Flan, and I knew it was being added to the list immediately.
While we enjoyed everything we ordered, my favorite was the El Cubano Sandwich and the Cuban Loaded Fries.
Cuban sandwiches are one of my absolute favorites and this one did not disappoint. This sammy had two slices of pressed Cuban bread, stuffed with roasted pork, ham and Swiss cheese. If that doesn’t make your mouth salivate… I don’t know what does. Ha! I enjoyed every bite!!!
I recommend ordering the Cuban Loaded Fries and the Guacamole as starters. To be honest with you it would make a nice lunch on its own.
The Cuban Loaded fries are built with perfectly seasoned fries and piled high with mozzarella, guacamole, and your choice of meat. My plan was to try them and save room for everything else, but you know how that goes. I took one bite, then another, and another… then they were gone. Oops.
As I said earlier, the Cuban Flan caught my eye, then it caught my fork, and it finally caught my mouth. There was not much to say, because my mouth was full. However, I think the smile on my face was worth a thousand words.. Lesson learned. Save room for dessert and coffee.
