    "The Classic" Cubano to die for
    Wl G.

    Got a classic Cuban delivered.... And it was so good. The cheese pull was insane. Could use a few more pickles but this place is legit

    Hot Honey Cubano (Spicy)
    Chiara H.

    This is one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. I had the hot honey Cubano, and it was perfect. The quality of the meat was amazing and it had the right amount of mustard in the right amount of tangy with the hot honey. I cannot wait to eat the sandwich again! And the vibe of the whole place is so cute and so chill.

    Blink and you'll miss it.

    Outstanding spot. Our group declared it had the best cubano we had all vacation. From a tourist perspective, a reprieve from the breathy table service meals and flashy bars/lounges. I noticed the bright colors of the spot as we passed by in our uber about to be dropped off for a full day in South Beach. No crazy lines out the door or people posing for their food grams, but patrons genuinely enjoying the food and chatting amongst themselves. It was a great pre-nosh for the many drinks and cocktails we had later on. I personally enjoyed the Medianoche a little more than the Cubano, but truly they were both delicious. Plus the little potato crisps were a great way to mix up the texture as you ate along. A lot of words to say, do it. Stop here and grab a walking sammie. You won't regret it. Plus the Pit Bull themed bathroom is a fun surprise and delight.

    Limited menu, but I view that as a good thing. It's essentially variants of Cuban sandwiches with the pressed bread and something in the middle. The simplicity works here. "The Classic" Cubano: The benefit of specialization is that they can execute so well. This was powered by some really delicious and nicely marinated roast pork. The portions of roast pork, ham and cheese were just right so no one overpowered the other. Also, they got the mustard and pickles right too, to give a a good tang. I liked that the bread was stiff soft, but also crunchy on the edges. Really the perfect specimen. Medianoche: Honestly, I didn't taste much of a difference compared to the classic Cubano. The bread look different, but didn't necessarily taste any sweeter to me. That being said, it was still super delicious since it's a winning formula. Jamón y Queso: A slimmed down permutation of the Cuban sandwich for breakfast. Just ham, cheese and mayo on the toasted bread. It actually works of breakfast since the pulled pork, mustard and pickles would be a bit much first thing in the morning. Pan con Timba: Now this was sweet! Those big slices of guava paste was excellent. Nice pairing of mild white cheese, melt beside to offset the sweetness. Toasty bread. This sure beats any toast with jam snack! Cortadito: Got this as I waited for my sandwich. I had it with sugar, of course. Perfect jolt and strong espresso and cream. Cafe con Leche: A classic. Creamy, sweet and a nice jolt of strong espresso. While the cortadito is nice, this is definitely my favorite. Always reminds me that I'm in Miami Beach. Iced Café Bombón: This is something Starbucks wishes they could be. It's like a Miami Frappuccino with dulce de leche milk and a generous dulce de leche drizzle. Plus lots of strong espresso to give a nice bitter contrast. For me, with my sweet tooth, this was the perfect afternoon treat. Colada: Kinda like an espresso, but sweeter and smooth. A nice jolt of caffeine to get your day going!

    Medianoche

    They know how to make a good cuban! Plenty of meat and just the right amount of mustard. Not too busy and food was served within minutes!

    medianoche: slow-roasted mojo pork, hardwood-smoked ham, melted swiss cheese, dill pickle, mustard + mayo on medianoche bread = $12.95
    Trung N.

    Cubatón is a sweet little sandwich shop perfect for a midday pick-me-up. We ordered both the Medianoche ($12.95) and "the classic" Cubano ($12.95) which are virtually the same sandwich but on different bread. Both sandwiches come with slow-roasted mojo pork, hardwood-smoked ham, melted cheese, dill pickle, mustard + mayo. I liked that the sandwich was tightly packed like a panini. That way you get a little bit of everything with each bite. Sandwiches were great, but the café con leche ($4.50) was absolute fire. The coffee was so rich and aromatic and unlike anything I've ever tasted before. A sandwich and coffee is the perfect midday treat. Come here for the sandwiches and grab yourself a coffee while you're at it.

    A cuban sandwich shop in the heart of Miami Beach. We truly stumbled upon this spot when I needed a quick bite to eat before an event and after trying to find parking in the area, we saw Cubaton! Specializing in cuban sandwiches, their selection is small but mighty. They have a few varieties of cuban sandwiches and we ended up picking the original hot honey cubano, which was recommended. The shop itself is small with just a counter by the front and some outdoor seating to dine at. The decor was cute and menu was easy to peruse. The staff was super welcoming and friendly as soon as you walk in! Our food was ready in no time and we decided to eat it to-go but ate it in the car and... this sandwich fresh was AMAZING. It came with a little bag of potato sticks, which I would have loved to come on the inside, but we added it in so love that it's basically customizable. The sandwich was pressed and warm with the cheese oozing out as soon as you separated the cut pieces. The flavor was both sweet and spicy (my favorite) with the hot honey and jalapeno. We finished the sandwich within minutes! Definitely a great spot to grab a cuban sandwich. I don't travel to Miami Beach often but might have to make a trip to grab another sandwich!

    Honestly this is just a solid no-frills Cuban sandwich place. The menu isn't all that complicated with a decent number of sandwiches, and I got the hot honey which admittedly can dominate in terms of the flavor, but not necessarily in an unpleasant way. The food was served very quick, also with a side of those thin fry chips, which was a nice touch, and it overall made for a great quick, hearty meal. I definitely would come here again any time I'm looking for a solid easy meal in South Beach. TIP: Can't go wrong with any Cuban sandwich.

    Get the coffee. Taste almost like a Vietnamese coffee. Really good
    Vu N.

    I been to many Cuban sandwich shops. And this is my top 2-3 for sure. Love the bread. Nice and thin. Flavor is good. Pork is not dry at all like some places. Next time I will ask for it to be extra crispy Cafe bombon surprised me. So good almost like a Vietnamese coffee. If you enjoy a sweet coffee don't sleep on this one

    "The Classic" Cubano (no pickles)
    Kristen S.

    My first time trying a cubano and it was delicious and satisfying! The mojo pork was so tender and flavorful, the cheese melted perfectly, and had just the right amount tang from the mustard. I don't like pickles so I ordered it without them. I wish the sandwich was a bit bigger for the price, but definitely worth it. My brother loves cubanos and was jealous. He said it looked much better than the cubano he ordered from Jimmy John's the day before. The restaurant is small and doesn't really have much seating, so I recommend it for takeout. Eating it on the beach was such a vibe!

    Parker S.

    A sandwich shop slinging some of the best cuban food you can imagine in Miami beach. The employees were pleasant and we sat right outside their shop to eat. We ordered a hot honey cuban to share and we both came away wishing we had this shop right next to our house with how fantastic it was. The hot honey wasn't overpowering and there was still plenty of pork/ham/mustard flavor to go-around. I loved Cubaton and I'm sad we head home tomorrow or else I'd be coming back to grab another sandwich! Truly a legendary Cuban sandwich experience.

    Cute little sandwich place about a block away from the beach. You don't need to spend a fortune to get good quality food then take it to the beach for lunch. Nice friendly staff and explained what's good and popular. I got their classic Cuban sandwich. It was hot pressed bread, ham, cheese and all the condiments. I also got their iced cafe bombon drink. It reminded me and similar to Vietnamese coffee. I took it to the beach and ate it watching the waves! Inexpensive yet delicious lunch with spectacular view.

    If you're spending a day at the beach, start off by getting Cubanos and cafecitos to picnic there! The iced café bombón was a delicious treat that was sweet and creamy with the perfect amount of caffeine. We came back a couple times during our recent vacation. The staff were friendly the shop was clean. If you're a Pitbull fan, you've gotta check out their bathroom! The Cubanos were excellent lounging on the beach. The day we left, my husband grabbed a pan con timba and coffee back to the hotel room and it was the perfect goodbye to Miami Beach. Cubatón is a must next time we are in the area.

They have such cute drinks! I just got pineapple juice but my friends got their coconut drink and mojito and said it was to die for! They give you these plantain chips to snack on and they are so good! It's got a sweet, salty, and crunchy chip texture to it. For an appetizer, we got a sampler which had ropa vieja, plantains, empanadas, shredded pork, and some large fried potatoes. I loved that so you get to try a little bit of everything. The ropa vieja tasted just like grandmas. They use ropa vieja as the filling in the empanadas. The fried potato's was steak fry cut style. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just how a perfect fry should taste! Everyone really liked the vaca frita! I think that's a must try! It's shredded beef marinated in this delicious citrus marinate. They fry it afterwards so it's pull apart, melt in your mount soft, with a nice crispy crunch to it. I think this is a must get dish. The desserts were delicious too!

For a Friday evening, the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but the ambiance was actually great. The music definitely added to the experience, especially some good Marc Anthony tunes in Spanish that I really enjoyed! The atmosphere was lively and gave us that Latin vibe we were hoping for. Our server, Diego, was incredibly attentive and really went above and beyond. At times it almost felt like he was trying too hard to make sure we were happy, but honestly, we appreciated the effort! We started with the empanadas and the avocado salad with chicken. The chicken on the salad was disappointing. It had the texture and appearance of previously frozen/reheated chicken rather than the freshly grilled chicken we were expecting. For our entrées, we tried both the steak and a chicken dish. Unfortunately, neither worked for us. Both lacked the flavor we were expecting and instead seemed to rely heavily on salt. We ended up not finishing either dish. The cocktails didn't save the evening either. I started with a lychee martini, which wasn't as good as I had hoped, followed by a Mai Tai that also could have been better. I also saw my drink being taste-tested twice at the bar before it was brought over, which admittedly left me a little unsure about drinking it afterward. And then... THE FLAN! Finally, something I can rave about. They make a VERY good flan, and it was easily the highlight of our dinner. That's all I'll say! :) Overall, the ambiance was great, the music was fun, Diego worked hard to make sure we were taken care of, and the flan was excellent. Unfortunately, when it came to the actual entrées and cocktails, the experience just didn't deliver for us. There are too many Cuban restaurants around to explore, so we'll be trying others rather than returning to this one.

Basically all seating is outside, so if you're looking to escape the heat, probably not the best fit. Nice vibes outside but just something to be aware of! One of the chair legs literally broke underneath one of our party when she was just trying to scoot it back. We got given a new chair from the empty table next to us and moved on with the night. I really don't like how, when you order a sandwich, they ask "do you want fries with that?" So that you assume it it'll be free (as is very normal with sandwiches) when it's actually asking if you want to add an additional $10 side. Food wasn't bad, but not great. I think the empanada was my favorite, I loved the cilantro sauce with it (I just love cilantro!). Another in our party had the lobster and thought it was pretty good. But, the meat on all the sliders felt pretty dry and not that flavorful. I wished they had more sauce with or on them, which I would rather the meat itself was good enough I didn't want to cover it in sauce to make it good. I was so excited for flan, which I love, but I felt the texture was softer and more like pudding in my mouth than the firm custard texture I want. Also overall really expensive but I guess it's an expensive area? There were 6 of us with over $500 total and that felt like a lot.
