Porto's Medianoche (Midnight Sandwich)
Prices and details last checked: Oct 24, 2026
The Medianoche is the Cubano's sweeter cousin. Same fillings, different bread.
Here's the price, what's in it, and which one to pick.
What is the Porto's Medianoche?
Porto's fills it with house-made, slow-roasted pork, sweet roasted ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and Cuban dressing.
The difference is the medianoche roll, a rich, sweet bread with a soft crust. It's pressed like the Cubano.
Medianoche means midnight. In Cuba it was a late-night sandwich.
