Good Cuban food in Miami?
I'm headed to Art Basel with a few friends in December and none of us have ever really had good Cuban food before, so where should we get some in Miami? We want a place to grab a quick Cuban sandwich and we'd also like to check out at least one decent sit-down restaurant.

Sunil,
My recommendation for a good sit down Cuban Restaurant is someplace that is not considered a tourist trap and provides a most delicious selection of Cuban food....try Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine .

I only went to one Cuban place in Miami: Puerto Sagua Restaurant. I had the oxtail stew there and it was amazing! I highly recommend it if you like oxtail and the plantains were pretty good too.

Check out Islas Canarias Restaurant restaurant. It's in the heart of Kendall and a very local spot. They have amazing breakfast and croquetas!

Last week I stayed at the Fontainebleau. More than one local person mentioned Puerto Sagua Restaurant as a great place to try. I didn't go myself, but I always trust the locals...

There are two very well known Cuban restaurants in Miami try either Versailles or La Carreta I would avoid Yuca Restaurant
The beauty of Cuban food at the first two mentioned is that is is plentiful and inexpensive. Yuca is very trendy and expensive. To find a good sandwich just drive on 8th Street and look for the cafes on every corner.
