my first visit to lo cubano was a drink-only affair. starving this time, i tried their havana chicken sandwich which is grilled chicken breast, plantains, and homemade cilantro aioli on cuban bread pressed in a panini grill.

the plantains were unexpected and totally made the dish, being a sweet and sticky compliment to the chicken. the cilantro wasn't overpowering and added just enough moisture to the bread. very well done and only 7.50.
i subbed a house salad for an additional 1.50 which was very fresh mixed greens, corn, goat cheese and walnuts lightly dressed. i'm not sure how this was "cuban" but it worked for me.
a tall glass of iced chai latte washed this all down as i caught up on my blogs with the free wifi. a much better way to spend the evening instead of passed out from a whirlwind weekend.
