Cafeteria Marianao

Description
Don't go expecting tablecloths and doting waiters—this Cuban lunch counter is no-frills, and that's just fine with the regulars who line up every morning for their eye-opening cafe cortado or their belly-filling toasted sandwiches.You might think the Cuban sandwich is the required order here (and you should try one at least once), but the big draw seems to be the steak sandwich, piled with thin slices of juice-dripping beef topped with griddled onions and toasted on the hot press. It's standing room only, and can get rather chaotic here, so grab some plantain chips and a soda and head for the parking lot if you want to wolf lunch in peace.
