text: When I was feeding my car down by Carowinds Blvd I used my newer BFF aka my droid phone Yelp app to locate a new place for lunch The truth is I have been condemned to uncultured unworldly food for way too long I was determined to get some real taste back in my mouth before it goes on strikennWho knows there is a cuban restaurant in the suburbs The location is obscure a little strip mall off Tryon right at Moss Something about CubanLatino music it just brightens the day and the place Ok so the service was slow no one sat me but to their defense I was standing by the hostess stand looking at the menu I think they thought I was a togo customernnLunch menu smaller portion is only available during the week So I went after the sandwich did not feel like breaking my bank for a quick solo lunch Instead of the old standby Cuban sandwich I tried the Miami Sandwich It is like a Cuban with with lettuce tomato and mayo and ham croquettes I love croquettes I also orderd the soup of the day Ajiaco Cubano nnThe soup was tasty Though it is very brothy not as much as stewy as it is described during my quick research online It definitely was not creamy like the waitress said But nonetheless it was good My cup had a piece of fatty pork and a little yuca in it nnThe sandwich itself was ok The pork was a little tough That is the disappointing part side note best freaking Cuban sandwich EVER was the one I got in DC in the market see my old review The bread was good and the mayomustard added to the taste I definitely enjoyed the croquettes which were being deliciously smushed by every bite I took The sandwich was big enough for me to save half for laternnI substituted fries with plantains maduros I am a sucker for sweet plantains And they were good But is it possible to mess up sweet plantainnnOverall it was an ok experience The waitress was nice but I can see if it is busier the place had other tables at the most virtually empty the service would be slow The pork was the least impressive But I was happy I was very very happy that I have not lost my appreciation for REAL food
