San Francisco Chronicle: Bargain Bites 2011 |
The warmed baguettes rest comfortably in the space between soft and chewy, but don't underestimate the substantial amount of meat they hold — generous amounts of pork in the sandwich Cuban, and a thick chicken breast in pollo asado. Sometimes, a sturdy, hot sandwich that hasn't been flattened within an inch of its life makes all the difference. |

San Francisco Chronicle: Bargain Bites 2010 |
Dishes include a respectable take on the traditional sandwich Cubano, filled with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, then grilled and pressed. The hearty plato vegetariano includes nicely seasoned Cuban rice and black beans, a mixed green salad and gorgeously caramelized sweet plantains. |

Paladar: Cuban Sando, I think I love you |
Rich, roasted, shredded Niman pork, boiled ham, melty Swiss, an even layer of sweet and tangy pickles, whole grain mustard, creamy mayo, and a buttery, crusty, fresh roll, hot pressed, melding it all together. Ah.MA.zing. No, seriously. If I could marry a sandwich, this would be it. Each bite of the Cubano gives you everything one could ever wish for in a sandwich. [More] |

Paladar Café Cubano |
Don't miss the Cubano sandwich, a grill–pressed gem with Niman ranch pork, ham, pickles, mustard and melted Swiss cheese served with a side salad. Side dishes include plátanos maduros, fried sweet plantains and congrí and Cuban black beans and rice. For a Cuban take on chips and salsa, try Charanga's yucca frita and chipotle aioli, crispy cassava accompanied by a spicy dipping sauce. [More] |

Lunchtime in Havana: Paladar brings to S.F. the real flavors of Cuba |
The must–try entree is lechón asado. Niman pork is marinated with citrus, garlic, salt, and oregano and slow–roasted until meltingly tender and delicious. In traditional fashion, this is served with congrí (black beans mixed with rice), boiled yuca, and sliced raw onions. This is the real deal – deeply, porkily satisfying. [More] |
