Sanguich

RESTAURANT SUMMARY

epclublogoblackgold.png

Where traditional Cuban sandwich craft meets modern precision, Sanguich Miami transforms Little Havana's culinary landscape through Daniel Figueredo and Rosa Romero's meticulous approach to authentic Cuban cuisine. This MICHELIN Bib Gourmand recipient elevates the humble Cubano from street food to artisanal masterpiece, proving that Miami fine dining extends far beyond white tablecloths.

Founded in 2015 by the husband-and-wife duo, Sanguich began as an ambitious shipping container venture that revolutionized Cuban sandwich preparation through systematic perfection. Figueredo, drawing from his architecture and design background, developed proprietary pressing techniques and teachable processes that ensure every sandwich achieves the same crispy-exterior, melted-interior perfection. Their philosophy centers on "science, not art" – a disciplined approach that honors generational Cuban recipes while achieving unprecedented consistency. This dedication earned them recognition among the best restaurants Miami offers, with multiple MICHELIN Guide accolades cementing their reputation.

The cuisine at Sanguich represents Cuban culinary heritage distilled to its essence. Their signature El Cubano features house-cured ham, 24-hour mojo-marinated pork, Swiss cheese, house-made pickles, and proprietary mustard aioli, all pressed using Figueredo's patented sandwich press. The Pan Con Bistec showcases perfectly marinated steak with crispy potato sticks and garlic aioli, while the Croqueta Preparada offers a modern interpretation of the beloved Cuban classic. Nearly every component is crafted in-house – from slow-roasted pork to tangy pickles – with only the Cuban bread sourced externally using their proprietary recipe. This commitment to authenticity positions Sanguich among Miami's most distinctive dining experiences.

The flagship brick-and-mortar location immerses diners in Cuban café culture through jade and caramel floor tiles, deep green paneled walls, and white marble counters with bentwood stools. Traditional Cuban music fills the intimate space while the open kitchen invites guests into the meticulous preparation process. The transparent operation transforms a simple meal into cultural theater, where each sandwich represents generations of Cuban culinary tradition. Service reflects this authenticity – knowledgeable, warm, and deeply connected to the food's heritage. The café con leche, served in classic branded cup-and-saucer sets, completes the immersive experience.

Sanguich Miami offers more than exceptional Cuban cuisine – it provides cultural connection through food. Reservations aren't required for this casual-fine concept, but expect crowds during peak hours as word-of-mouth continues driving discovery. For discerning diners seeking authentic Cuban flavors executed with modern precision, Sanguich represents Miami's most compelling sandwich destination.
