I learned what a cuban sandwich was from my Cuban Dad. I've had cuban sandwiches for years all around the New York area. The Cuban Shack Cuban Sandwich is by far the most authentic Cuban Sandwich in this area. The honor the recipe and its preparation. It's everything a Cuban sandwich was meant to be deliciously served with great service.

I’ve eaten at Cuban Shack at least once a week since it opened. Hands down the best Cubano sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The steak sandwich, empanadas, and yucca fries are just as good. Add onto that a perfect cortadito, there’s nothing better. The space is great for dates and hanging out with friends alike. Great atmosphere. And the staff are terrific, friendly, and real pillars of the community. We’re lucky to have this place.

The Cuban Shack is an absolute 10/10! The food was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor—the chiccaron especially was the best I’ve ever had. We ordered the chiccaron, pork sandwich (no cheese), rice and beans, a beef empanada, and two drinks (a spritz and a mango margarita). Everything was incredible! The drinks were refreshing and delicious, and the staff was phenomenal—so kind and welcoming. This spot is truly a must-try, and I’ll definitely be back!

Their pulled pork is super satisfying (especially w/ cilantro sauce) and a good portion size. Rice and beans are very flavorful as well. Could use a bit more cilantro sauce since it's extra. Overall a great, quick and unique option in the neighborhood.

The pork sandwich was, without a doubt, one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) Cuban sandwiches I’ve ever had. This spot is such a gem that you have to come and try, no matter where you are in the city. Shoutout to Rafael for making such a fantastic sandwich. I can’t wait to be back
