Cuban Sandwich Factory

I have never been to Cuba but I want to now. £5 for a cuban classic. Roast pork, ham, mustard, pickle and cheese.

Been going to Cuban sandwich factory since I decided to take a gamble on it in st George’s market. This was a gamble that very much paid off. The food is great! I’ve had nearly every sandwich on the menu and have yet to experience a bad meal. The prices are very reasonable considering how much the meal fills you up. The sloppy joe is amazing, so tasty.

Had one of these sarnys first at St Georges market after a friend has suggested. He had got his on a wee stand at the Tall ships when they where here.
At St Georges market there was when showing quite a bit of interest in them.
The sarnys are great value for what you get. They re packed pull and are a great flavour.
My only complaint was that I would have liked more sauce in mine. Especially as the baguette was quite hard and crunchy.

Is this the next Boojum?
Had lunch here today for the first time. I have the Ropa Veirja, which is the shredded beef with cheese. The food was good and the service was ok. Prices are a bit steep with a toasted sandwich costing £5.95.
The atmosphere is cost as is the shop itself. There is seating but it’s extremely limited and you have to ignore the queue of people staring at you while you eat. I had to move seat as the waitress constantly needed into the drinks fridge and was leaning over me to do so…
It doesn’t help matters either when the queue is out the door and the door is held open. My food got cold quick.
Cuban Sandwich Factory was a next experience and if I was to return I would only be looking to take away. Watch this space, I believe the Cuban Revolution is about to begin.

One of the most authentic food outlets in the city that I have come across, tucked on the corner of queens arcade and fountain street the smell alone lets you know you’re near. Must do for lunch.

Not the worst but so far from the best. Fancy a free meal and have 20 mins spare to wait on a sandwich? Bring a roll of ballots with you and whatever number hey call out, use the ballot and take it, believe me-​they won’t have a clue. Really bad process from ordering to collection, you take a docket and they scream out every docket but yours until you scream back and they give you your sandwich. All in Cuban and wrapped up, it could be anything… But grand enough when you do storm out of the place

Ropa Vieja baby! Love this place. Have always had their sandwiches at St George’s market and now I can have them in a new nice wee spot! Huge fan

Great news Cuban Sandwich Factory now has a new, bigger store! Don’t worry though, they aren’t corporate sell outs, everything you liked about their old shop is still alive and kicking. They’ve just given themselves some room to maneuver.
The new store is located right at the top of Queens Arcade — as mentioned there is a lot more space but the old ordering system still remains. It’s very simple — when you walk in you order, usually at the cash register but when I went a member of staff came to us. You are then given a ticket and you wait for your number to be called. Exactly the same as ‘Chef’.
The menu is also still the same — great value and flavoursome sandwiches are the order of the day. I went for the traditional sandwich for £5 along with a homemade lemonade. Unfortunately I drank that before my order was even with me.
Love the new set up and the food — in terms of value for money it’s about the best you can get in the City centre!
