There’s never a bad time for a Cuban sub, whether it’s 2 a.m. and you’re craving something hearty, or the morning after a particularly boozy night. When you’re really hungry, any old sandwich will do, but what about when you want the real deal? At Sarussi Cafe Subs, they’re all about quality and quantity, because not only can you get authentic Cubans, they’re literally massive and would prove a challenge to even the most dedicated foodie! While there are many different ways to enjoy a Sarussi sub, the house original is stuffed with baked ham, roasted pork, a healthy slathering of cheese, and pickles, and is doused in their secret sauce. Overflowing with fillings and toppings, this colossal creation weighs in at two pounds of delicious, stretching a whopping 16 inches in length. Now that is a Cuban sandwich we want to sink our teeth into. The Miami eatery has been a gathering place for Cubans for over 50 years. The famous original sandwich even garnered the attention of Travel Channel shows like “Miami Hot Spots” and “Man V. Food.” They were also featured in a live show for the 2010 Super Bowl. Sarussi’s aims to show the world how great — and delicious — Cuban culture is, always bringing the tastiest food to the table with their secret sauce and a friendly smile.

There’s also a whole list of sandwiches with different main meats (chicken, pork, veggie, etc.) that come stuffed with onions, tomatoes, potato sticks, mozzarella cheese, and secret sauce. All of their eight-inch subs can also be done as wraps, and you’ll want to be sure to make room for the flan, churros, and buñuelos.

Their classic breakfast menu consists of scrambled or fried eggs, ham and cheese tortilla, tortilla with chorizo, and other filling Cuban-influenced fare. View this post on Instagram Sarussi, famous for their 16 inch Cuban sandwich- Can you tell? The original location is in #Flagami & has been there for 50+ yrs. They say it was originally an Italian restaurant until someone suggested they sell Cuban sandwiches due to the many Cubans moving to Miami in the 1960s. This explains why their "Original Sandwich” is toasted in a pizza oven. It’s a Cuban sandwich except they replace the Swiss cheese with mozzarella, the mustard with a secret sauce & they brush garlic butter on the bread. Sarussi was on the Travel Channel’s “Miami Hot Spots” & "Man V. Food”- which is now a sandwich they serve. It’s 2x the ingredients of the original- double meat/cheese/pickles etc. Pair it with a mamey shake & you won’t eat for weeks. Heard the chorizo croquetas are great too! #BeyondSoBe 😋 A post shared by Beyond South Beach (@beyondsouthbeach) on Jul 27, 2016 at 3:00pm PDT If you’re feeling daunted by their massive subs, don’t worry, there are other delicious items on the menu that are a little easier to sink your teeth into.
