BOX OF CUBANS – Spanish

Pressed Cuban bread is the whole argument here, and the Valrico shop on Lithia Pinecrest Road makes it all day. The classic Cuban stacks lechon marinated over twenty-four hours with serrano ham, Swiss, pickles and mustard. The Mojito Pork adds pickled jalapenos and house cilantro sauce; the Pan Con Bistec layers mojo-marinated palomilla steak with crispy potato sticks. Devil crabs come the Ybor City way. Empanadas run beef and cheese, picadillo with sweet plantain, guava and cream cheese. Build-your-own bowls cover gluten-free and vegetarian eaters. Breakfast never stops: Pipo's lechon omelet sandwich, torrejas, and Cuban breakfast sliders under strawberry puree.
