Columbia's original Cuban sandwich

The Cuban Sandwich is Tampa treasure. The "Mixto," was created in the late 1890s for the cigar workers. The sandwich underwent changes as immigrants from different countries came to Ybor City. The Spanish brought the ham, the Sicilians Genoa salami, the Cubans mojo-marinated roast pork, the Germans and Jewish Swiss cheese, pickle and mustard. Layer together in between Cuban bread from LA Segunda Central Bakery and life is great. Today we are using the original 1915 recipe of Casimiro Hernandez, Sr., using the same proportions of meat with the Cuban bread brushed with butter on top, pressed to a crispy finish
