The Original Cuban, consisting of Smoked ham, deli ham, mojo pork, salami, swiss cheese, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. Order it pressed and the bread is brushed with garlic butter and put on the heated press, transforming the bread into golden, crunchy goodness.

The lunch special includes a 4 inch sandwich of your choice, chips and a 16 ounce drink for $5.61 plus tax.
