Where I live it has slowly grew, as all cities do. And as the world around us keeps getting larger new places open up. We all know how much of love food and surprisingly I haven’t exploded from how much food I enjoy,. I’m quite thankful for my gym membership if not for that I’d be in big trouble.
Anyhow, new place, new food, I usually haunt the comic shop on a Saturday and low and behold there’s a new restaurant next store. You know where I’m going with this. After browsing the comics, I shuffled over to see the new establishment called A Box of Cubans.
It had the mom and pop feel as soon as I entered ( also family owned). It felt like coming home to mom’s house so to speak how I was greeted and of course I bought a Cuban Sandwich. The smells coming from the kitchen was palpitating and I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into this delectable sandwich.
Generally speaking a Cuban has pork, ham, pickles and Swiss cheese on a cuban bun. Sometimes its pressed sometimes not and there are arguments on whether it should be pressed or not that makes it a Cuban sandwich. It is also, argued that it originates from one of my favorite cities near me, Ybor City.
Long story short I was served a very large and piping hot Cuban sandwich and I wish you too could have had a bite. It was juicy, flavorful and the cheese practically stretched out as I took a bite and yes, it was pressed. I personably, enjoy the soft inside and the crispy crunch on the outside. If ever in Riverview, Florida check out A Box of Cubans you won’t be disappointed.
As always, Keep on Brewin.
