The Cuban Sandwich
Our signature sandwich — slow-roasted pork, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and house mustard — pressed on fresh Cuban bread until every layer melds together. Made to order, every time.
Est. 1985 · The Bronx, New York
Handmade sandwiches, fresh pastries, and a full-service market — a neighborhood staple on Adams Place for over four decades.
Our signature sandwich — slow-roasted pork, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and house mustard — pressed on fresh Cuban bread until every layer melds together. Made to order, every time.
Flaky pastelitos, warm empanadas, and Cuban coffee bread — baked each morning and ready by midday. Pair one with our freshly brewed café con leche for a proper start to the day.
Venezuelan and Colombian arepas stuffed with seasoned meats, black beans, and cheese — served from opening until we sell out. A hearty breakfast option that keeps our neighbors coming back.
Strong, sweet, and poured just right — our Cuban coffee is the backbone of the Castillo experience. Also serving horchata, mangonadas, and cold brew for those warmer months.
Castillo Deli Mini Market opened its doors in 1985 as a modest corner deli with a single sandwich press and a commitment to doing things the right way. What started as a family operation has grown into one of the Bronx's most trusted neighborhood markets — but the approach hasn't changed.
Every sandwich is hand-assembled. Every pastry is baked fresh. Every customer is treated like a neighbor — because most of them are. We source our ingredients locally when we can and import the rest directly, so the flavors stay honest and consistent.
Today, Castillo serves thousands of regulars each month. Some come for the Cuban sandwich. Some stay for the market. But everyone leaves knowing they were welcomed.
Beyond the counter, Castillo's market carries everything from pantry staples and Latin groceries to household essentials and cold beverages. It's the kind of place where you can grab lunch and dinner supplies in the same trip.
