When people think about Miami's food scene, they immediately think about the South Beach celebrity atmosphere: small, petite and incredibly pricey plates in darkly lit, modernly designed rooms. And don't get me wrong, these sorts of restaurants that cater to that sort of lifestyle are great and certainly delicious, but it's hard to ignore the presence of Little Havana in Miami, and the Cuban influence in the food. And among the most delectable treats that we can thank the Cubans for is the Cuban Sandwich, and according to Miami residents, Eriqueta's is the place to get it. Pork is seasoned with cumin, paprika, red pepper and salt, and slow roasted until it's melting into pieces. It's paired lovingly with smoked ham, Swiss cheese, thinly sliced pickles and a smear of yellow mustard, and pressed until the bread is crispy and the cheese is seductively oozing out of the sides of the sandwich. Simply irresistible.
