Fried Plantains, Cuban Sandwiches, Cafe con Leche and Ropa Vieja. These 4 food delicacies are the building blocks of the Cuban diet. The greasy pressed sandwiches and strong coffee drinks are staples that deserve to be done right in order to pay true homage to the island nation from which they hail. C. Señor! in Oak Cliff is giving Dallas locals bites of Havana in a perfectly cozy way.

Owners Hal Dantzler and Tony Alvare have filled the limited menu with items that truly transport the diner. On a particularly sunny afternoon, I dined on some of the house favorites and soaked in the international experience. The menu is small — a pressed Cuban sandwich, a beef-and-chorizo burger and three other sandwiches: fried mahi, Portobello, and turkey with cream cheese and jalapeño jam. Any sandwich can be ordered as a taco, too. The stand also serves Cuban coffee and yucca fries, don’t miss those either. I loved the Cubano and Cuban burger when I stopped in and the service is friendly and fast to those who choose to wait at one of the nearby picnic tables.
