After a few solo visits to Sanguich de Miami, Marcela finally made it. This isn’t her first time eating one of their sandos, but it is the first time she’s eaten one at the actual shop.

Marcela orders the Pan con Bistec. Me, I order the Pan con Lechon. She wants to go half-sies, which is an excellent idea. We get the party started right with chicharrones and plantain fries.

The chicharrones have a nice crunch, but the plantain fries are the side you should order. As a lifelong plantain chips fan, I know these are next-level. Don’t forget to ask for a dipping sauce, although they might be tasty alone.

A sanguich by any other name is just a sandwich…yeah right, this fella right here is the Pan con Bistec, a pan con bistec that leans heavily on being a cheesesteak relative. It is so close that I refer to it as a Cuban Philly.

Who else is going to serve sliced sous vide steak? No one but Sanguich does it this way, and it works deliciously well.

The Pan con Lechon from Sanguich De Miami is another game-changer. It features shredded pork, pickled mojo onions, and garlic cilantro aioli on pressed Cuban bread.

Everything was 🔥

The menu has regular Cuban cafeteria milkshakes, but the Banana Milkshake was the chef’s kiss for me. I’m not much of a whipped cream guy, but I was so overwhelmed by the shake that I forgot everything about it.

Last but not least…not only one of the best in town, but this perfect cortadito should round out your meal.

Sanguich Sauces

I’ve written about my love for their sandwiches…I mean sanguiches from Sanguich de Miami before. They’ve launched some sauces. I bought all four, but I’m particularly enamored with El Original.

These were retired shortly after I bought them, so I could never restock them in my fridge.

Joe Carollo targets Sanguich de Miami

Even during the Gay8 Festival, the poor folks at Sanguich can’t catch a break. You know how it is when someone has it out for you; Joe Carollo should be ashamed of himself.

Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo found himself entangled in a bitter dispute with the property owner of Sanguich’s original location in Little Havana. In a disturbing turn of events, Carollo opted to exact revenge on the famous sandwich shop by leveraging his political influence. He chose to wield his power more maliciously instead of addressing the property issue through legal channels.

Regrettably, Sanguich became the target of Commissioner Carollo’s ire as he began using the police department to harass the business incessantly regarding permitting matters. This aggressive and unwarranted action created unnecessary stress for the owners and displayed a misuse of authority for personal vendettas.

The situation painted a troubling picture of the abuse of political power. Commissioner Carollo’s actions seemed driven more by personal grievances than a commitment to resolving property disputes through proper channels. Sanguich, a beloved establishment in the community, found itself caught in the crossfire of a political battle that had little to do with its operations.

As the controversy unfolded, many residents and business owners in Little Havana began questioning the ethics and motivations behind Commissioner Carollo’s actions. The community, once supportive of its local representative, now grappled with concerns about the misuse of political power and the impact on the livelihoods of small businesses like Sanguich de Miami.
