ABOUT
Located in Little Havana, Sanguich is considered one of the best sandwiches in America and features pork marinated for a week in garlic and spices. It serves small appetizers, sandwiches, shakes, and Cuban coffee. Sanguich's menu reflects the fusion of Cuban nachos, guava and cream cheese milkshakes, and plantain fries with dipping sauces. Sandwiches prepared with croquettes, pickles, Swiss cheese, ham, roasted pork, and mustard on pressed Cuban bread are a grand slam of flavor. Despite its many merits, the real genius of this sandwich lies in tucking in a few croquettes between all the meat, pickles, and cheese. With every bite, the crunchy croquettes add another layer of crunch and texture to the sandwich.
