***THE BEST CUBAN SANDWICH!***…read more
A typical Puerto Rican small town "cafetería", very casual, but cute and warm, with lots of wood decoration. They have a lot of wines, cheeses and specialty hams, very much like Spanish "cavas". They have bakery sweets and sandwiches, breakfasts and snacks like croquettes and such. But they make, hands down, the BEST Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Ask for "pan sobao" -- a slightly sweeter and softer kind of bread. Great coffee too! It's a little too far from San Juan, unless you're headed towards Arecibo to do some tourism, in which case, this is an excellent locals stop on your way. :-)
Disclaimer: Please remember Puerto Rico is not big on Yelp yet, since it's small enough for any local to find restaurants, therefore business owners don't advertise a lot and locals have no real need for it. So you see just 1 rating and review here now, but don't be fooled. Compare with my Florida and California reviews if you feel unsure. :-)

Yo estudié entre Vega Baja y Manatí, y paraba mucho aquí a comerme el sandwich Cubano, que lo hacen delicioso. Es una pena que esta cafetería-deli casi no tenga reseñas, porque en Puerto Rico todavía no le cogen el piso a lo de Yelp. Pero ciertamente no tiene una sola reseña porque no sea excelente. Me encanta también lo de los acentos en madera, tipo español, y las variedades de vino, quesos y jamón Serrano. :-)
