"At this point, most of Miami knows the joy of eating a Cuban sandwich from Sanguich. But their location in Coral Gables doubles down on everything: the dining room’s twice the size, and the ventanita should exclude the “ita” because it’s giant. The restaurant is a bit more upscale, with dark green walls, bouncy yellow booths, and blue tile floors. Nothing on this menu has changed, but the sandwiches taste even better here. You order at the counter, take a number, find a table, and they’ll bring your order to you. Much like its Little Havana sister, the place is perennially packed and rightfully so. We named Sanguich the best Cuban sandwich in Miami, and that’s still very true for this location." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"Sanguich isn’t on this guide just because they make the best cuban sandwich in Miami, the cuban sandwich capital of the world (despite what Tampa claims). In fact, we think their pan con lechon is even better. But they’re on this guide because Sanguich cures their own ham, makes their own mustard, and brines their own pickles. This is the quintessential Miami playbook. You take something old or familiar and innovate until you create something truly unique that you and your community can be proud of. It’s the American dream—in the form of a cuban sandwich." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"Sanguich’s Cuban sandwich has retained its title as the city's best for years now. Few things in life are as exhilarating as the crunch of that first bite, except maybe biting into their pan con lechon (or any of their other carefully assembled sandwiches). Sanguich’s original sandwich shop on Calle Ochco is great, but also overflowing with tourists during the winter. And so we prefer the newer one in Coral Gables. It doubles down on everything: the dining room’s twice the size and the ventanita could drop the “ita”—it’s closer to a bay window. And the sandwiches might even taste just a smidge better here." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Sanguich de Miami’s new Coral Gables location is the Cuban sandwich shop’s largest yet. The spacious indoor dining area seats 50 guests, complemented by a casual high-top section and an outdoor patio accommodating an additional 25. The counter-service restaurant is celebrated for its award-winning Cubano sandwich, made with slow-cooked pork butt marinated in a garlic and spice blend, along with other favorites like pan con lechón, pan con croqueta, and pan con bistec. Guests can also enjoy batidos (Cuban-inspired milkshakes) and even grab a Cuban coffee from Coral Gables’ largest ventanita." - Laine Doss
"The Dish: Cuban Sandwich You can find a cuban sandwich on almost every corner in town—Miami is, after all, its birthplace (despite what Tampa claims). But Sanguich makes the best one in the county. Maybe even the country. The pickles are housemade, and so is the mustard—which is a little spicier than the French’s yellow variety everyone else uses. The cured ham, also housemade, likes to hog (sorry) the spotlight. But the juicy lechon is what you really taste. Sanguich currently has three locations across Miami. Tourists flock to the one in Little Havana, but we’re partial to the one in Coral Gables, which is bigger and has a more local feel. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
