Off Site – Little River
Location: 8250 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33138
Off Site, a Little River nano-brewery is known for its craft beer, but the Cuban sandwich is just as impressive. The bread is pressed to golden perfection, and inside you’ll find roasted pork, country ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. Best of all? You can pair it with their house lager, which tastes like it was brewed specifically to wash down a salty Cubano.
Perfect for a post-move happy hour in Little River.
Central Fare – Downtown Miami
Location: 550 NW First Ave, Miami, FL 33136
Inside Miami’s Brightline station food hall, Josh’s Corner Diner serves up a playful take on the Cuban sandwich. Their “kinda Cuban” swaps pork for pork belly, Swiss for provolone, and adds pepitas plus a pink sauce, all stuffed between your choice of bread. It’s not traditional, but it’s delicious.
Ideal for Miami commuters and anyone moving downtown.
Chug’s Diner – Coconut Grove
Location: 3444 Main Hwy, Miami, FL 33133
Chug’s Diner is a Cuban-American mashup spot, and their sandwich reflects that. Instead of Cuban bread, you’ll get white toast with salami (Tampa-style), aioli, roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. It’s pressed, seared, and delivers all the flavors you crave in a new, diner-friendly format.
Coconut Grove movers: this makes the perfect “first meal” in your new neighborhood.
Proper Sausages – Miami Shores
Location: 9722 NE 2nd Ave, Miami Shores, FL 33138
Miami Shores’ Proper Sausages breaks all the rules and still nails it. Their “Cubanish” swaps Cuban bread for artisan loaves, adds cheddar cheese and mayo, but keeps the focus on incredible roasted pork shoulder and smoked rosemary ham. It’s rich, cheesy, and unexpectedly perfect.
A must-try if you’re settling into Miami Shores and want a neighborhood gem.
Louie’s at Palm House – Miami Beach
Location: 5101 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140
Tucked behind a Mid-Beach hotel, Louie’s tiki hut is just steps from the sand. Their Cuban sandwich piles on roasted pork and keeps everything else—bread, cheese, mustard, pickles—subtle enough to let the meat shine. It’s the ultimate beachside meal after a long walk or swim.
Perfect for Miami Beach locals or anyone unpacking boxes steps away from the ocean.
Tinta y Café – Coral Gables
Location: 1315 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33134
Tinta y Café in Coral Gables (with a second Miami Shores location) is all about creative, delicious sandwiches. Their version of the Cuban, “La Patria,” bends the rules with mortadella and a baguette instead of Cuban bread—but the flavors are so good, no one’s complaining.
A Coral Gables essential, just minutes from My Stack Box’s customers moving into the area.
Cuento Sandwiches – Doral
Location: 4237 NW 107th Ave, Doral, FL 33178
In Doral, Cuento Sandwiches reimagines tradition with their “Don Quixote.” Instead of lechon and Swiss, they use chorizo and mozzarella, all tucked into medianoche bread. It’s different, bold, and worth every bite.
A go-to stop when you’re moving into Doral and need fuel for unpacking.
Breadman Bakery – Hialeah
Location: 5804 W 20th Ave, Hialeah, FL 33016
