I know there is a LOT of debate about the origin of the Cubano, and recently read that some people say that there is a "Tampa" version that adds Salami and a "Miami" version that does not.
I have had them with salami and without. I like the little kick from salami, but I like both.
I come from the far western states where the Cuban sandwich started making inroads in some restaurants. No salami there.

Does TAMPA ring a bell.

Sunny Pint in Freedom Plaza just past the Brownwood Hotel on 44 is very good!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be sure to check them out when I am in the area.
A couple of comments/replies.
Yes, Tampa rings a bell. I read the history of the sandwich, and one theory is that it was invented in Ybor City on the north side of Tampa. The Columbia Restaurant there is famous for it. And, there is an annual cuban sandwich festival there Annual FORD International Cuban Sandwich Festivals

Since the Cuban sandwich was invented in Florida it is interesting to see some of you suggest Cuban restaurants as good sources. I guess they have embraced the USA addition to their traditional Cuban food.
Thanks again

B D Beans Coffee Co in Belleview, the best I've found

I have had the Cuban sandwich at Havana a couple of times. The first was excellent, the second - not so much.

For a good Cuban sandwich go to Tom’s Cuban on the Go. 1800 rt 484. At the intersection with hwy 75 exit 341 behind the gas station.
It’s been written up as best Cuban sandwich on the go in Florida. Sandwiches are great
and good Cuban food also.

We love going to Troy's Cuban Deli and Clermont, Fl.

The Columbia House restaurant is in Ybor City and is quite an experience.
Cuban sandwiches, full menu and an awesome house salad

Also in Celebration with same menu but not quite the same ambience

I'll make this short and sweet . . .

Another vote for Villa Pinar.
Excellent!
