    Love it here, so welcoming like a piece of Cuba in Durham and the employees dancing with the customers makes it even better.

    El Caney is great. There's a dude carving meat in the back. Your sandwich only comes with 2 maduros (plantains), so get an extra side of maduros if you're hungry.

    Everything's good, but Cuban style pork, black beans, Cuban coffee, and the hot sauce on the table are my faves.

    Everything on their menu is delicious. My brunch fave is the El Campesino - fried cured pork belly.

    Excellent sandwiches. You are allowed to park across the street in the social services lot on Saturday. Don't forget they are closed on Sunday and Monday.

    Not only the best Cuban spot in Durham, but nearly the best sandwiches regardless of type.

    Sandwiches are good and all, but I prefer to get the pork plate and maduros and go all at it.

    Get the El Caney. It's almost a traditional Cuban, but the avocado adds a nice creaminess.

    Luncheon plate is the right size and the right price for a quick, but quality lunch.

    The only proper response to "Would you like pork drizzlings on your rice?" is "Si!"
