The Cuban Corner

After raves from my foodie buddies, I decided to try the Cuban Corner. It's a very small grocery store/food shop. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and took it home. I couldn't tell you how many Cuban sandwiches I ate when I lived in SoFla, so my expectation was high. This version was certainly large enough, but disappointing. It just didn't measure up in content and taste. Take the food out of the region, it's just rarely the same. 12

Came out of quasi-retirement to trumpet up this place. Old San Juan, last time I went, had fully-converted to a restaurant so I had to go to Louisville's own Little Cuba area for those things you just can't get at Kroger. This is like those bodegas there, and they have a decent selection of galletas, plantain chips, cooking stuffs like wine and mojo criollo, and desserts like pastelitos and flan. I picked up a Cuban sandwich, rice and beans, a Materva, and a flan. The Cuban Sandwich is solid, if I wouldn't mind a bit more pork, but the flavor is just what I remember. The black beans are salty and savory; my own tend to be sweeter with vinegar, but still very good. They do their rice better too.You should take a look; it's not meant for huge crowds but if you're just looking for a place that stocks mantecado and nectars, and you can get a bite to eat while you shop, you should definitely check it out and support a local business!

They customized my order. I requested a "Jamon con queso" (ham and cheese) sandwich since it wasn't listed on the menu. It was the "bombs". It was huge and delicious. I was surprised to find cassave crackers, frozen mamey and treated myself with cuban ground coffee La Llave and fresh baked bread. The lady was really nice. I will be back.

Bad service, long wait and very expensive products, I recommend going to Aguas Calientes where you will find the same products and cheaper.

Amazing customer service! The owner is very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. They also have many items that are staples in a Cuban household. I will definitely be back and recommend the Cuban sandwich to everyone.

Tried their pastries at Crave festival. Their pastries were amazing. We had a cheese pastry, meat pastry, and a guava one. All were wonderful.

I have driven past this place for years and never stopped in, that all changes today. The sandwich I had was amazing and the pastries were pretty dang good too. The Cuban corner just earned itself a regular
