Nope. I can recommend a place where I don't really like the Cuban sandwiches but which makes a great limado if you like

It's like a limeade but better. It's the only reason I go there in the summer.

Non-alcoholic

Head over to La Isle in Hoboken. One of the few reasons to spend any time there. Solid Cuban food.

Somewhat west of Jersey City (but worth the drive) is Café Tropical. In addition to a full lineup of Cuban sandwiches, they make a most impressive café con leche and their ham and cheese croissants are among the best in the city. They're at the corner of Sunset and Parkman, right where Silverlake Blvd passes under Sunset. Café Tropical's back room serves as the meeting place for a local AA cadre, always making for interesting conversation at the sidewalk tables.
