A Cuban sandwich shop has opened ...

... right here in the middle of Wilkesboro! Run by real Cubans! It's called Havana Dreams and Carmen has been waiting breathlessly to give it a try. So on Wednesday we went over for lunch. Walked in and saw a man who by appearance, body language, and talk was clearly Cuban. Soon he was joined by another. Walked up to order and the proprietor said he was a real Cuban, from Santa Clara, Carmen's hometown. I told him I had brought my very own Cuban with me. Counting the lady waiting tables, and some other family members, there were at least seven Cubans all in one little room, right in the middle of Wilkesboro, ground zero for Anglo culture and Protestantism.

Carmen had a media noche sandwich and I had pan con lechon smothered in mojo. It was all very good. We both recommend it. Especially since they serve real Cafe Cubano.

Good stuff. I reckon we will hit it once a week or so.

unfortunately since we like it so much it will probably go out of business in three months. Same as every other thing we have liked here in Wilkes.

Update: There is a web page so you can check out the menu. They are only open 7-2 (or until customers leave) on weekdays.
