OUR STORY
Welcome to Cuento Sandwiches – Where Every Bite Tells a Story
In the heart of Doral, Florida, a flavorafle adventure unfolds. Cuento Sandwiches isn’t just a sandwich shop; it’s a vibrant tale waiting to be told, a canvas where flavors and stories blend to create an experience like no other.
The Inspiration Behind Cuento
"Cuento," meaning story in Spanish, is the soul of our establishment. Founded on the belief that food is more than just nourishment, it’s a narrative that brings people together, our journey began. Inspired by the rich tapestry of Cuban culture and the universal joy of sharing a meal, Cuento Sandwiches was born – a place where every sandwich has a story and every customer becomes part of our ever-growing family tale.
More Than Just a Sandwich Shop
At Cuento, we redefine the Cuban sandwich experience. Our menu, a fusion of traditional Cuban flavors and inventive culinary craftsmanship, offers non-traditional versions of classic sandwiches. Each creation is a testament to our commitment to quality, sourced from the finest ingredients and local partnerships.
A Homage to Literature and Culture
The walls of Cuento Sandwiches are adorned with more than just vibrant hues; they are lined with bookshelves hosting timeless tales from legendary authors like Calderón de la Barca, José Martí, and Ernest Hemingway. These books aren’t mere decorations; they are invitations to our guests to immerse themselves in the world of literature, echoing the stories that inspire our dishes.
A Gathering Place for All
Cuento Sandwiches is more than a dining spot; it's a community hub. It’s where friends meet over a game of dominoes, where families gather to create new memories, and professionals find their midday oasis. The energy of Doral converges here, making Cuento a tapestry of faces, languages, and stories.
Celebrating Our Cuban Roots
Our décor, a tasteful blend of simplicity and cultural richness, pays tribute to our Cuban heritage. From the black and white motifs reminiscent of dominoes – a Cuban pastime – to the subtle hints of blue and red, every element of Cuento whispers tales of heritage, community, and the simple joys of life.
Join Us at the Table
Every sandwich we serve, every story we share, is an invitation to join the Cuento family. We’re not just making sandwiches; we’re crafting experiences, one story at a time.
OUR CUBAN FOOD TELLS A story; let us be a part of yours.
