Tinta Y Café

Beach Bites has me stopping at Miami. This town offers just about every kind of cuisine in the book, but all I'm craving is a big ol' juicy sandwich. So when my good friend Bobby Flake called me up and said he just had to take me for the best Cuban sandwich in all of Miami, of course I said yes. I'm in Little Havana at Tinta e Cafe, where they're serving up Cuban sandwiches with a modern twist. I can't wait to try this. This is Katie going on. Hi, Katie. Nice to meet you. This girl can eat anybody under the table. Oh, wow. And she's not afraid, OK? I do have a big appetite. So here's what we want, OK? We want the full Tinta experience here.

We add ham straight from the leg, mortadella, and Swiss cheats. And I'm going to fix that. We're using mortadella. That's our little twist to it. It's a poem. So you use Dijon mustard. And classically, it wouldn't be Dijon, right? Classically, they use the yellow American mustard. And what's the second one? The second sandwich would be the guajito. Chicken, sauteed and onion, Swiss cheats, then art, mojo de la gaza, which is that inspired by the classic Cuban? It is. Delicious. We're going to love it. Let's go. Let's go.

Here we go, guys. So here we have the patria on the left and the guajito. Oh, it'so nice and warm. That's crazy good. The thing I love about this is it's not over stuffed. This is so good. It has the caramelized onions, and the chicken's really nicely spiced. So good. The swish. All right. Mm. Mm. Pickle is so good with the pork. The cacao's right there. Cheese is nice and melted. That bread's all buttery and toasted. Mm. Mm. I told you she doesn't play. I really It reminds me of what I'm looking for in a classic h Well, I'm so glad we did this. It's always good to see you.
