    This is such a hidden gem! My boyfriend took me here for their Cuban sandwiches and it is so good! Everything is just perfect. The crunchiness of the bread is out of this world! The ham, lettuce, pickles, and mustard is perfectly proportion. The price is super reasonable! I also love their guava pastries! So delicious! Highly recommended if you love Cuban sandwiches!

    This place has been there for years. I grew up just around the corner on 59th Street and had never eaten there. I used to go there and buy a softdrink occasionally. Yesterday I was returning from my Uncle Woody's funeral and decided to drive through the old neighborhood (Six Mile Creek) to see how it has changed. We are longtime friends with the Brocato family of Brocato's Sandwich Shop and i suppose that's why I had never tried Carlos'. I bought two devil crabs and they were tasty. A good filling to breading ratio, good crispness (fried to perfection) and very pleasant staff. I suppose I need to try their cuban sandwiches next. I would definitely go back again.

    They don't give MILATARY Discount!! I have been eating there for years they have the BEST POTATO BALLS !!! A+ Cubans are satisfactory and could use more butter on the bread to get more crunch and longer on the hott press for my liking for the money sweet tea is thumb Have you ever been asked how sure are you of going to heaven when you die 50%,75%or ? The Bible reminds us As it is appointed unto men once to die but after that the judgment. Hebrews 9:27 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 But God Commendeth his love towards us in that why we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

    Lost some money from gambling at the hard rock, got home drunk, angry, and hungover. Started looking for spots open at 4am and I saw this place and I had to call them to make sure this was true and to my surprise it was. Once there I walk in, it’s a small little spot but quaint. Ordered their special sandwich can’t even recall what it was called but it was like OVER a foot big I also had these meat balls and it was all amazing the balls had amazing hot well seasoned beef and the sandwich had soooo much meat with all the goods… a must try after throwing away money at the hard rock at 4am

    I got the cuban, pressed, wasn't too expensive, delivered to my table fast and tasted great. A large sandwich here is all you need for a meal!

    I agree with what someone said on another review. It's a hidden gem. I like places like this when it comes to other aspects of shopping, too. My friends and I love coming here. Also, did you know that one day everyone will have perfect health? (Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 35:5,6)
