Run by three brothers, the Con Sabor Cubano sandwich shop has a pretty straightforward layout. The small dining area consists of three simple wooden tables on one wall and a stool-lined bar on the other. It's a straight shot from the door to the counter, where a clear view of the kitchen is available.
The menu offers no surprises, though the brief selection provides plenty to satisfy. Of the five sandwich options, the popular pan con bistec (steak sandwich) and pan con lechon (roasted pork sandwich) get the most hits. Each is served on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onions and shoestring potatoes. For the best deal, though, look to the frita Cubana (Cuban burger), which checks in at only $3.75. Order your sandwiches at the counter and they'll be delivered promptly on blue lunchroom trays. Con Sabor Cubano recently expanded its menu to include tamales, empanadas, croquetas and papas rellenas.
Additionally, there's a standard breakfast menu with omelettes and bagels available from 7-10 a.m. every morning. The espresso shot of Cuban coffee is a treat, but don't miss the Iron Beer (a Cuban soda that tastes something like a mix between Dr. Pepper, Cream Soda and Big Red).
