La Unica (on Devon Ave.) makes a mean Cubano, but I like the ones at Cafecito and El Cubanito. Here are my top 5 in Chicago: http://stevedolinsky.com/?p=3920 Kieran, you are absolutely correct!

Wednesdays for lunch we serve a Cuban or a 'Cubano.' The sandwich has become my favorite! Thank you for the wonderful piece on a wonderful sandwich!

My cubano memory comes from my childhood where my cuban friend Fernando took me to a tiny bodega on 181st St. in Washington Heights, NY. It was right next to the Astral movie theater, near Amsterdam or Audobon Ave.  I have searched, and to date, I have yet to find un cubano as good as those.  Bob    I listend with much interest to this piece.
