If you've yet to eat at the Guava Tree Cafe, regular diners would likely advise you to order the Cubano sandwich. Served on fresh-baked bread, tangy mustard melds with melted Swiss cheese, ham, pork, and pickles. The sandwich spends a few moments in a panini press, then joins a pile of fresh yucca fries in a serving basket lined with wax paper.
According to fans of Guava Tree Cafe, the Cubano best represents the food on offer here. After all, this Nob Hill eatery centers around Latin American fare, from the hand-shaped arepas to the made-from-scratch sweets. Speaking of sweets, you'll want to save room for dessert at Guava Tree Cafe, even if only to get acquainted with the Pastelillo de Guayaba y Queso. This Caribbean sweet encases tropical guava paste and cream cheese within its buttery, flaky layers.
