NYC's Best Cubano Is Hidden in Times Square | Sandwich City | NYT Cooking

For the last 55 years, the husband and wife duo Rafael and Guadalupe “Lupe” Rivas have been holding down Margon, a bustling restaurant where they sell hundreds of Cuban sandwiches a day. Their storefront is easy to miss amid the chaos of Times Square, but Margon has a legion of loyal customers who have been coming since the 1970s. This episode of Sandwich City dives deep into the well-loved Cuban sandwich at Margon. A warm, crunchy stack of Cuban bread, it’s piled with ham, salami, Swiss cheese, a garlic sauce, mustard and pickles. Customers sit elbow to elbow in rows of old school tangerine orange tables — everyone from born-and-bred New Yorkers to tourists who carved their entire vacation around making a stop at the sandwich shop.
