Best Cuban Sandwich in Palm Beach County

The debate over the best Cuban sandwich in Palm Beach County is fierce. Miami and Tampa have their traditions — but in Lake Worth and Lantana, Town Hero Subs has earned a reputation for one of the most satisfying pressed Cubanos in the area. Made with quality ingredients, properly pressed, and served at two convenient locations.

What Makes a Great Cuban Sandwich?

A proper Cuban sandwich is a study in simplicity done right. There are no shortcuts — every ingredient matters, and the press is everything. A Cubano that isn't pressed hot and flat isn't a Cubano. It's just a sandwich with Cuban ingredients.

The Roast Pork — The Heart of the Cubano

A mediocre Cuban sandwich uses whatever deli pork is around. A great one uses properly seasoned roast pork — mojo-marinated, slow-roasted, and sliced to order. Our roast pork is the reason customers drive across Palm Beach County for our Cubano. It's tender, citrusy, savory — everything the traditional recipe calls for.

The Press — Where Most Places Fail

The flat iron press is what transforms a Cuban sandwich from good to legendary. The bread gets crispy, the cheese melts into the pork and ham, the pickles meld with the mustard — it all comes together in about 90 seconds of high-heat pressing. We press every Cubano fresh when you order. No pre-made, no microwave, no shortcut.

The Bread — Cubanito Roll

Real Cuban bread has a light, slightly crusty exterior and a soft interior that flattens perfectly under the press without becoming gummy. We source our rolls from local bakers who understand the spec. The wrong bread ruins a Cubano. The right bread makes it.

The Cuban Sandwich in Palm Beach County — A Local's Guide

Palm Beach County has a significant Cuban-American population, which means standards are high. Unlike Miami's Media Noche or Tampa's Columbia Restaurant-style Cubano, the PBC Cuban sandwich scene is more eclectic — there's no single dominant style, which means quality varies enormously.

What we've found is that the best Cuban sandwiches in Palm Beach County come from places that treat the Cubano as a signature item, not an afterthought. At Town Hero Subs, our Cubano Pressed is one of our top three best sellers — which means we make a lot of them, which means we've perfected every detail.

What is on a Cuban sandwich?

Is the Cuban sandwich different in Palm Beach County vs Miami?
