This Cuban quick-serve attracts students from nearby colleges and budget travelers staying at Hostelling International's adjacent family hostel with a lineup of made-to-order sandwiches at budget-friendly prices. Best bets include the Cubano, loaded with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, and the Choripan, Spanish chorizo with grilled onions and chimichurri. There's also a compact menu of salads and sides. Breakfast sandwiches make the menu before 11 a.m., and there's eye-opening Cuban coffee and Spanish-style hot chocolate in addition to more traditional American coffee and cappuccino.
