Stop! Stop! Stop! Oh, you're making me so hungry and so nostalgic! 
This sandwich is SOOOOOO much better than it sounds. Oh, bliss! Oh, 
joy!

When i lived in western LA (all the various times i've lived in LA 
i've always lived in the western area - West LA, Santa Monica, 
Venice, Vista del Mar) there were some good Cuban restaurants.

Versailles on Culver Blvd. in Culver City (shortly before Marina del 
Rey) (and it's STILL there) had wonderful garlic roast pork - melt in 
your mouth - but not the sandwich.

Miami Spice (yes, it WAS the 1980s) on Venice Blvd. in Venice. It had 
THE sandwich. Alas, it is gone. I wanted to go there last year when i 
was in the area and get one. It was the only thing i ordered there, 
well, besides the garlicy and buttery yucca. It was SOOOO good, SOOOO 
good. Sigh.

Man, oh, man, my mouth is watering...
