Cuban restaurant · Schuylkill

"We had to drive around South Street for 20 minutes and dodge three sloppy drunks leaving Founding Fathers to try the Cuban sandwich here. Totally worth it. The Center City Cuban spot layers a long, crusty roll with mustard, ham, roast pork, and melted swiss cheese that hold pickles in place, making one deliciously salty, juicy sandwich. Stop by early if you want the meaty masterpiece (they close at 4pm during the week and 6pm on weekends). The rest of the Cuban dishes—croquettes with marshmallow-soft centers and flaky empanadas that you’ll want to buy by the dozen—are also excellent. Walk into the bright space for a strong early morning coffee or creamy smoothie, sing along to Celia Cruz, and have a sandwich worth navigating the city for." - Candis R. McLean
