Housed in an old Arby's with a huge U-shape counter, this is the chain's original outlet, and here it perfectly combines quantity and quality. Your choices are varied no matter if you're sitting at the counter, the outside dining area, or just picking up something at the ventanita. Hams hang overhead, waiting to become part of the restaurant's standard Cuban sandwich: pork, Swiss cheese, ham, and pickle. At $4.50 it's more than a mouthful. A breaded steak so big it hangs over the platter? It's here. An assortment of sandwiches alongside full meals of fish, beef, and chicken prepared numerous ways? Here. The staff is made up of seasoned pros; if you're a regular, they'll start your order the minute they see you walk in. And the place is known for pouring thick, creamy milkshakes in flavors ranging from vanilla to mamey.

Yes, the LAC is the indigenous Miami version of a Denny's or an IHOP, but they know their proletariat comfort foods. Ask anyone with an obsession for medianoches and they will tell you the LAC has the rules down to perfection: Make them greasy and filling, with a pleasing balance of saltiness and a dash of sweet and sour flavor. And so the medianoche is the Cuban ham and cheese sandwich, but much improved upon: roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and pickles pressed between slices of soft, sweet... More »
Let's hear from the Cubans on this one. Although it's won Best Cuban Sandwich three times, isn't this still your favorite place for more than just that? Ask your viejo -- he'll be sitting with us. This particular location was chosen not just because it is housed in an old Arby's with a huge U-shape counter, but because it serves outstanding Cuban food at amazingly reasonable prices.
