While visiting Miami Beach I sought out some of the town’s more legitimate Cuban fare. Puerto Sagua in South Beach was just the place. This is a no frills, diner-like establishment in business since 1962. While the menu was vast and impressive, I elected to order one of the more ubiquitous South Florida dishes, the Cuban Sandwich. Or as it’s called here, the “Sandwich Cubano.” Available in either medium or large sizes, I ordered the medium and it was just right. A traditional Cuban sandwich is a pressed, toasted sandwich featuring Cuban bread, roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and yellow mustard. The sandwich here was excellent! This Cubano was clearly a more traditional, refined version with fewer ingredients, but with bold, balanced flavors. Service was very homey and genuine. Seems like family that has been working here for many years. Highly recommended.
