"Cuban bread has a thin crust, but it’s also soft in the middle. There’s no other bread like it, and this Hialeah bakery specializes in everything bread-related. Their cuban sandwich is the size of your forearm. It doesn’t just crunch when you bite into it. It plays your molars like a piano, yet remains soft and fluffy beneath the surface. The croquetas are good too. They even make cakes out of them—sweet vanilla frosted cakes surrounded by salty ham croquetas. It looks like a gag, but it’s pretty good. If that sounds extreme, just get the pastelitos de guayaba." - virginia otazo
