a taste of cuban food in san diego - meet the cali cubano

san diego isn’t exactly a mecca of cuban food. but if you’re anything like us, the limited number of cuban eateries in town has never stopped the craving for a killer cuban sandwich from popping up.

if you’ve never had a cuban sandwich…it’s time to rectify that.

if you have, then you understand the crave-worthy deliciousness that happens when you combine pork, cheese, pickles and mustard on soft, flaky-crust bread.

at bfd, we’re big fans of the classic cuban, but we also like to do things our way and get creative here in foodtown. so we’ve dressed up the cuban – california style.

we call it the cali cubano.

as with any good cuban sandwich, we start with great bread.  the torpedo roll has that flaky-softy texture we love in our cubans. then we take that gorgeous bread, and we pile it up with house cured and smoked pork loin, monterey jack cheese, big fat pickles, red onions, creamy avocado, and mustard and jalepeño aioli.

but no need to take our word for it.  our customers love it, too.

we serve tons of cali cubanos every week, and it seems to be a favorite among yelpers as well. here’s what they’re saying:

• “loved my cali cuban sandwich!!”
• “the cali cuban was excellent.”
• “the cuban blew my mind.”
• “hands down best cuban I’ve had.”
• “the flavors are great and everything in the sandwich compliments each other. you get the perfect bite each time.”
• “the cali cubano is my new favorite - their take on the classic cuban pork sandwich that I like better than the original.”
