Ropa vieja is Cuba's national dish, and Porto's serves it two ways: on bread or as a plate.

Here's the sandwich version: price, filling and when to pick the plato instead.

What is the Porto's Ropa Vieja Sandwich?

It's Cuban-style stewed beef with bell pepper, onion, olive, tomato sauce and Spanish seasonings, served on Cuban bread.

Ropa vieja means old clothes, a nod to the shredded look of the beef.
