- The East Cuban-style Cuban sandwich from Papi's on Ponce differs…it's piled with shredded pork that's been marinated and smoked. But it's still topped with the usual ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, mustard and mayonnaise, (plus a dash of mojo sauce), then pressed between slices of fresh Cuban bread, and served warm. The result is a delightful blend of deli and barbecue flavors. – Access Atlanta

About Papi's Grill (4 Atlanta Locations)
With churrasco steaks, grilled red-snapper fillets, and shredded flank steaks rubbed with Cuban spices, it's hard to tell which dish earned Papi's Cuban & Caribbean Grill the tile of Best Cuban fare in 2010 and 2011 from the readers of Creative Loafing Atlanta. It could have been owner Rey Regalado’s recipe for pork marinade passed on from his father. Brought to America in a harrowing tale of escape from oppression, the signature sauce now trickles beneath layers of smoked pork, ham, swiss cheese, and dill pickles on the cuban sandwich or traditional masitas de puerco made with tender cubed pork. Selecting from a stash of family recipes, chefs fill plates with bold flavors and cap meals with such sweet treats as coconut flan and rice pudding. As the sun falls out of the sky on Fridays and Saturdays, live salsa music populates the dining room with toe-tapping beats and digestion-aiding rhythms.
