Bruno's Lucky 13 — Restaurant in Valencia

As a Cuban-American intimately familiar with the Miami vs. Tampa Cuban sandwich debate, I have to say, it looks like Valencia can now be added to the list of worthy contenders putting their own spin on this classic! While this isn’t a 100% traditional Cubano (if there is such a thing), it’s a fantastic interpretation.

So sad that we found about this place at the last day of staying in Valencia. I can recommend this place to everyone, a must visit. If I would live here, i would...
