"Sarussi’s blurs the line between subs and cuban sandwiches. Their take on a cubano is an Italian-Cuban-American hybrid with roast pork, ham, cheese, and pickles. But from there, Sarussi gets off the exit and speeds away from tradition. They use sweet shaved ham and mozzarella. And instead of pressed cuban bread, they use fluffy rolls, toast the entire sandwich in a pizza oven, and then brush the warm, crispy crust with garlic butter. It’s hard for us not to get that every time we come here, but they’ve got more options, like teriyaki, cheesesteaks, and the “vaina loca” stuffed with beans and ropa vieja." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
