Dominican ventanita serving the famous Chimi Sandwich
"This Dominican sandwich spot operates like a ventanita. There’s no dining room—only an outdoor counter that Little Havana locals lean against while they wait for cortaditos and chimi sandwiches. Takeout is an option, but we like to eat at the counter so we can listen to bossa nova and the owner tell the origin story of the chimi sandwich. They happily pull out stools for us loiterers. Bite makes almost everything on the small menu in-house, including their pan de agua with a crunchy crust and fluffy interior. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings Food Rundown The Original Bite Chimi The chorizo is juicy, and the crisp cabbage and green tomatoes balance out the richness of the meat. It should be the first order of eating business when you come here. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings Chimi Burger It’s like the chimi sandwich, only in burger form. They use a 90/10 ratio of lean-to-fat, so the beef patty is springy and firm—but still a little pink and juicy in the center. It works beautifully with the cabbage, green tomatoes, and onion. There’s a reason why they sell out of it early. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings Porchetta Sandwich The porchetta is sliced into thin slivers and each piece is fatty and flavorful. It’s great, but ask for a hot sauce to help balance out the salty pork. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings Cheese Balls We can eat fried balls of cheddar like popcorn all day long. If you feel the same way, get these. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings" - Mariana Trabanino
