After eight trips to Miami and dozens of Cuban sandwiches, I finally found the one that ended the search.
At Las Olas Cafe, they do things differently. The pork is shredded, not sliced. The sandwich is cut lengthwise, not in half. Then it’s pressed hard on the griddle until the bread is crisp and the mustard, pork, and pickles melt together into something completely different.
It eats cleaner, hits harder, and honestly… it changed how I think about the Cuban sandwich.
In this video, I’m recreating that Miami-style Cubano from scratch. Mojo roast pork, real Cuban bread, and the technique that makes this sandwich stand out.
This is the Cuban sandwich that made me stop looking.

Italian Oregano IS NOT a direct substitute for Mexican Oregano. They are not the same species of plant. If you must substitute, use marjoram.
16:30 Beef?!
Mustard mayo mix!!! Ham and SALAMI! NO SALSA VERDE! Cubans don't use that.
Man oh man, fantastic, fascinating video. Love the salsa verde and cut and post-cut griddle variations. Sadly, you forgot the salami. THAT would make it perfect. 🙂
Claustrophobic? You mean hypochondriacal?
The beanie is giving PaRappa the Rapper
I'm cuban this looks delicious and extremely well done. Something i do when I do the pork. (No traditional disclaimer) is when I finish cooking the pork i put it to rest and the remaining liquid i reduced closely to a glaze while the pork is resting and then shred the pork and add the reduction to it. In my opinion brings an extra touch to the sandwich. Have a great day brother.
So is it a bigdog, or a hotMac?
two kinds of meat? nah thanks. i'll ditch the ham.
FYI las olas is located at 644 6th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Ok mate, I have a heartbreak and this video distracted me from it, so thanks for both that and the recipe!
As much as I like to cook you got me so hungry that I'd like to have that address of that restaurant you talked about ASAP please…… This is becoming an emergency Miami here I come !!!
As a Tampa citizen I am disgusted by the “Cubano”. WTF is that? A Cuban has roast pork,ham Swiss cheese pickles and mustard on “CUBAN” bread ( a modified baguette style bread that is slightly wider and has palmetto leaves baked onto it and finally MUST have Genoa salami on it! That bs in Miami is a ham and cheese sandwich.
We appreciate your hard work Joe!
You have that sheet pan to put in the marinated pork. So there should be no need for that dumb platic bag. Mix the marinade in the pan and put the meat in, done. Also, why cut the heels off the bread? They're perfectly edible.
I have NEVER seen oranges so…ORANGE….THAT COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL !!
Are these also called media noches?
I really hate being a celiac 🙁
Where do you get those deep roasting pans? Is there a particular brand that you use? Or just ones from a restaurant supply store?
8:21 or you could just autolyse for 20 mins instead of fussing over it
Dude. Are you for real? who in the F has time to do this. usually, you make quick doable recipes. This is way beyond most folks' wheelhouse. You've become this old house of cooking.
Is it only served in pork?
U R the MF best. Thank you!
Lengthwise and grilled………genius.
Dude that looks friggin amazing
well,if you add a coca cola with the rest of the prep for the pork you have mexican pork carnitas for your corn tortillas..just saying😉
