Cubano's ATL- Sandy Springs

I was in the area for a doctor's appointment and decided to get a "taste" of Sandy Springs. Glad that I gave this restaurant a try. It was fairly priced. I got the Pollo aka chicken sandwich, plantain chips, and Cuban espresso coffee. I normally don't drink coffee, but wanted to know what Cuban coffee tasted like. The aroma was delicious as well as the sandwich. I highly recommend this cute little place!

If you're in the area and craving a grab and go option that doesn't sacrifice flavor, try the Cuban sandwiches at Cubanos ATL. "El Miami" is the best sandwich on the menu in my opinion. Layers of roasted pork, sweet ham, melted Swiss cheese, a hit of acidity from the pickles and mustard all pressed between two slices of buttered Cuban bread. Delish. Great portions sizes too. I love that Cubanos offers vegan options. I recommend calling ahead to confirm that vegan options are in stock if you follow a strict vegan diet. They've been out when I've tried to order a vegan sandwich in the past.If you have a sweet tooth and are craving desert, try the caramel flan, a custard with a caramel sauce. Flan is one of my favorite childhood desserts and this recipe doesn't disappoint.The staff is always polite and the area clean.

I got a chicken (vegan) cubano to-go. I've always wanted to try a cubano but never found a vegan option. The flavors were great and I loved the bread. The texture of the vegan chicken was good, but did not replicate the shred/tear that chicken has. Definitely will be back!

Went here for the vegan jackfruit Cuban sandwich. Because I am vegan and my gf is pescatarian, this is the only item either of us can eat on the menu. We went on Thursday at 12:15pm and they were out of the vegan sandwiches. We tried again the next day, and luckily they had the vegan sandwiches this time.The service was kind and quick. This is a small food stand in the parking lot of a business plaza. They seem to get a good amount of business, at least at lunch time. There were several other customers at the time we went there. There is one picnic table next to the stand, and a bench on the other side you can use while waiting for your order, should you want to sit. There is no covering outside of the stand, so customers are out in the elements.They are a little pricey (but what's not these days?), but the sandwiches are a good size. No chips or sides are included with sandwiches.Now about the food! The jackfruit was seasoned and cooked really well -- nice flavor and texture. And they put PLENTY on the sandwich. The bread is also very good. And it's a sizeable sandwich -- it filled me up! It also comes with mustard, vegan cheese, and pickles (like a traditional cuban) -- I wish there were more of all these toppings! Overall, the sandwich was pretty dry. I needed more toppings, for sure. I added homemade cashew mayo to it to make it less dry.Additionally, I'm super picky about how my sandwiches are built (I want to get all the parts of the sandwich in each bite), and it was extremely lopsided. Most bites were solely jackfruit -- the cheese was only on about a third of the sandwich, and that side with the cheese had very little jackfruit. I rearranged it a little myself to get more of each item in more bites. I don't want to eat just jackfruit in a bite, nor do I want to eat just cheese and mustard in a bite. And there were MAX 4 little pickles in the whole sandwich.Overall, the sandwich was tasty, but could be better (it could be a personal thing). I will likely go back, but it won't be a regular spot for me.

ORDERED- el tampa | $12- cortadito | $3.50SEATING AREAa few tables are set up outside however we did takeawayPARKINGthe business itself is located within the parking lot. there are plenty of spaces shared between all the businessesOVERALLso i'm from tampa bay where we get spoiled with amazing authentic cuban sandwiches everywhere. with that being said the EL TAMPA was 6/10 for me. the flavor wasn't flavoring (definitely was missing something) as i wanted it to be and the meat was lacking. on the plus side, the CORTADITO was delicious though. i don't think i'll be ordering sandwiches again, but i will revisit for a beverage.

I heard about this place ok tiktok and wanted to try it since we were in the area. This location is a little shed in a parking lot. They had a lot of customers, and the service was quick. We ordered the El pollo especial (chicken sandwich) and a latte coffee with chocolate & caramel added. The sandwich had a nice crunch to it and the chicken was really soft with a subtle flavor. Doesn't feel super heavy. I also liked how smooth the coffee tasted. It wasn't super sweet but still really good! We would love to come back next time we are in Atlanta.

Amazing authentic Cuban, best I've had in Atlanta. The sauce on the chicken sandwich is divine too!

I love this little stand it's like a Cuban heaven ! I stop by for cafe con leches and I have to grab a sandwich if it's closer to lunch time !! The best Cubans in atlanta in my option. The el Miami is my favorite as it's the most classic to me . Stop by really quick and support a small business !

Most authentic Cuban sandwich in the north Atlanta area, like what I expect to get when on Calle Ocho in Miami.Get the traditional.The coffee is also outstanding. Try a high octane Cubano with sugar for a treat.There are no tables, standing or seated. Doesn't matter. Grab and go.

Sadly, the cute little restaurant is not what it was a year (or several months) ago. The meat portions inside the once generous sandwiches are about 1/2 of what they used to be, and meat is very often fatty. On top of the decrease in the quality and portion size, the prices have increased drastically!
