Where it be?

I've had the one at Mitch's and Boondini's...but that's about it. What am I missing?

If you care to venture over to Cary, check out Hotpoint on Buck Jones Road. Their food is awesome, and I've heard good things about their Cuban.

1/12/2011 11:52:03 PM

cherry bomb grill

their rueben is also off the chains!!!

1/12/2011 11:52:55 PM

jax's was pretty good


better than mitch's was (mitch's sammichs are typically too dry for me though), but that is no longer an option. I haven't tried it anywhere else. I am interested in where this thread might go though!

1/12/2011 11:53:15 PM

mmmm boondinis

i love boondinis

never had their cuban before though

actually, i've nver had a cuban sandwich before

1/13/2011 12:00:10 AM

Not Raleigh, but close; Peak City Grill in Downtown Apex has a great Cuban Sandwich

1/13/2011 12:00:43 AM

the Raleigh Times makes a damn good cuban sandwich.

I'd say cuban revolution in durham is even better.

1/13/2011 12:03:15 AM

The shredded lettuce they use at Boondini's is fucking amazing. You wouldn't think lettuce could be notable, but it fucking is.

1/13/2011 12:04:18 AM

I have a serious problem not ordering the nachos and burger at the Times but I'm headed there next week so I'm gonna branch out a bit and try the Cuban.

Yeah I love that place. Sandwiches and soup are both awesome...and the free tea isn't bad either

1/13/2011 12:05:19 AM

carmen's by the airport

1/13/2011 12:11:08 AM

1/13/2011 12:14:01 AM

definitely oakwood cafe on edenton st

1/13/2011 12:15:46 AM

^^it's pretty dope. that's my go-to there, but every now and then I'll try something else.

also in the same shopping center I'm digging on that Bagel City or whatever it's called. I've only had breakfast there but their sandwiches etc look good too.

1/13/2011 12:16:44 AM

damn

came in here to post Mitch's

one of my favorite sandwiches in Raleigh

I was about to be like "wtf...how can lettuce be amazing," but you anticipated my objection. well done.

1/13/2011 12:37:23 AM

The Rockford on Glenwood hands down!

1/13/2011 12:37:56 AM

Not Raleigh, but I've had one at...

Lina's Cafe and Catering in RTP (Durham) off of Miami http://www.linascafeandcatering.com/

I had a good one at Fowler's Market in downtown Durham, but I think that place closed

1/13/2011 1:04:59 AM

I hear the cuban at Havana Grill in Cary is pretty good, haven't tried it myself though.

1/13/2011 3:36:44 AM

real rockford >>> new rockford

1/13/2011 3:57:03 AM

^^ shit is weak

1/13/2011 9:26:42 AM

tried the cuban at the times

Quote :

"it was good as all. my only gripe was there was a lot of bread. while tasty, it was pretty damn thick, but I spose that's a common restaurant trick."

and the hunt continues

1/19/2011 8:54:51 AM

I thought cubans were supposed to have pressed flat bread... how can they have too much bread if that is the case? (admittedly, I've only had nachos and other app's there so I don't know how they do their sammiches)

1/19/2011 9:06:44 AM

it was pressed...but there was still a bunch of bread (imo)

1/19/2011 9:22:01 AM

well that's no bueno...

1/19/2011 9:23:52 AM

Haven't had it at many places but I do like the ones at Mitch's

There is a new joint opening in downtown Durham called Old Havana Sandwich Shop that is supposed to specialize in Cuban Sandwiches. Opens tomorrow, according to their Twitter feed--hoping to try it out in the next couple of weekends.

1/19/2011 10:42:13 AM

any new updates on the Raleigh scene? I haven't had mitches cuban in a few years, so i'll probably be hitting that up soon.

I just went there for the first time yesterday for lunch.

Then again for lunch today.

That place is awesome.

8/10/2011 3:15:20 PM

Old Havana Cafe in downtown Durham has the most AMAZING Cuban. It's pretty much their entire menu. I know it's Durham but it's worth the drive.

8/10/2011 3:15:58 PM

Yeah, my coworker from Miami is all about that place.

8/10/2011 3:17:19 PM

I tried to go there today for lunch but there was no parking and I was in a hurry. My only complaint about that place is the parking situation blows during work hours.

8/10/2011 3:17:56 PM

We should pool together our votes for different categories and print out some winner's certificates. Wonder if we could get the restaurants to put them on their wall.

8/10/2011 3:18:35 PM

This thread is relevant to my interests

8/10/2011 3:21:52 PM

^^ That would be hilarious if they did.

I just want to reiterate, that place is awesome!

Best Idea ever!

8/10/2011 4:31:03 PM

I concur on Havana Grill.

8/10/2011 4:32:04 PM

while i applaud the idea, it wouldn't take but 30 seconds on this site for restaurants to not want to post anything with our name on it

8/10/2011 4:41:05 PM

I still haven't managed to get to Old Havana Sandwich shop, and I still need to rectify that situation.

8/10/2011 5:49:49 PM

^^With the comments in the best burrito thread, it would be kinda ironic to roll into Carrburritos and see a plaque voting anything in Chapel Hill-Carrboro as the best from a website associated with NCSU. Except this:

Best Douchebag Pretentious Restaurant in the Triangle:

Top of the Hill

8/10/2011 6:01:06 PM

I'm sure I'll get called out for this, but I've accompanied multiple patrons who have enjoyed the Cuban at Bahama Breeze.

DEAL WID IT!

There's a good Cuban at Oakwood Cafe.

You really should! I might try to take an early lunch tomorrow in hopes they'll have a damn parking space open.

bahah posted the same thing a few months ago.

WTF

4/6/2014 10:29:47 PM

For real though, the Cuban at Bahama Breeze is pretty tasty. I'm just gonna throw it in this mix to fuck shit up.

[Edited on April 6, 2014 at 10:59 PM. Reason : LOL, I've already done this before.]

4/6/2014 10:56:58 PM

I went there once expecting turrrrrible food but was pleasantly surprised.

4/6/2014 10:59:44 PM

No, yeah, the food is great. It's like bar food done really well for a good price. I've never been disappointed.
