"Food We Love: Cuban Sandwich" 
"The Cubano sandwich ($6.50) at Paladar Cubano …is the only real-deal Cuban sandwich I’ve tasted since moving back to Seattle from New York City."  Seattle Magazine's Best of 2009 Edition  

“Paladar Cubano - music to Cuban sandwich lovers' ears”
"Say hello to a sandwich well worth waiting for: Paladar Cubano's cubano, a $6.50 two-fister so bountiful the construction crews (and other trenchermen) who seek out this parking lot pit-stop on the corner of 90th and Aurora can't finish their lunch either." Seattle Times food writer Nancy Leson.

"Eatin’ Good on the Sidewalk"  Seattle Weekly Magazine
Paladar Cubano is located at the corner of 90th and Aurora.  (Look for the little yellow house with our banner outside.)
 
We offer covered seating, offstreet parking and always the friendliest service in town!
