Have you ever had a cubano that was so good you couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the day? Well, Angelica and I just had that cubano today at Mi Floridita Restaurant. We happened upon the place and stopped there for lunch. It has all the signatures of a great Latin family restaurant. At the center of the restaurant is a bar area where the server expertly slices the pernil (pork) and layers the sandwich with ham, swiss cheese and that wonderful garlic sauce. Everything about the preparation was done with care, right in front of you. She took her time making these sandwiches, and I tell you they are worth the wait. We were delighted and at $4.50 a sandwich, you can't beat the price.
If want to eat a cubano to remember, stop at Mi Floridita Restaurant on the corner of Broadway and 129th Street (just a few blocks north of the 1 train on 125th street).
