La Casita — Restaurant in Kittery

I don’t know if I can accurately describe the pure elation I felt today eating the Cubano from La Casita. Not only was the staff friendly and engaging, but they prepared my order with alarming efficiency. The Cubano was a truly exceptional sandwich, one that I look forward to making a frequent installment in constant persuit of delicious lunch. The pressed Cuban bread was fresh, a firm crispy outside, and soft on the inside. The slow cooked pork was at a near perfection, so much so I was scouring for any scraps left behind. The pickles, ham, swiss, and mustard, delivered on a surprising balance not seen enough in my typical Cubano orders. I’m not sure if I ate the sandwich or simply inhaled it, but I am absolutely sure of it’s excellance. Do not sleep on this humble joint on the skirt of the Kittery circle, this place is packing haymakers of authentic Cuban/Puerto Rican and Latin fare straight...

Big portions...We had enough left over for a couple of lunches the next day.

HIGHLY recommend a quick detour on your way to the outlets or Ogunquit. Of course if you're local, I'd make this a...

I have a hard time trying new things, let's start there. (If it doesn't come as a meal with a number on it, I probably won't order it...) However, I saw my boss's lunch the other day and knew I needed to shovel some of whatever the heck that was in my face.

Today I showed up, on my measly 30 minute break, no line! The guy behind the counter was patient with me as I stumbled through my embarrasingly tongue tied order. A few moments later I'm on my way out the door with a huge hot rice and bean bowl.

I'm definitely going to get 2 meals out of this masterpiece. Thank you for setting up shop in Kittery! I'll...
