I don’t know if I can accurately describe the pure elation I felt today eating the Cubano from La Casita.

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...
