Varadero Cuban Sandwich

Cuban Sandwich at Varadero
A-
I'm not the only eater to call Varadero's version the best classic Cuban sandwich in Vegas. Tasty, chewy egg bread is pressed flat and filled with thinly sliced roasted pork and ham, melted Swiss cheese, bright pickles and mustard and mayo. (Of course, we go the no-mayo route.) The beauty of this sandwich is the perfect proportion between meat, cheese and bread ... it's not about stuffing as much meat as possible between two slices grilled bread, it's about balance. And this little Cuban neighborhood restaurant in northwest Vegas does it right. The only improvement could be a bit more spice in the mustard, but we're not complaining.
