Bring up Caribbean flavors and sandwich presses, and most folks will think of the Cubano, the roast pork/ham/cheese pressed sandwich that actually originated among Cuban ex-pats in Florida. As it happens, the Cubano isn’t the end of that story, as a visit to Tostado Sandwich Bar, a Hyde Square maker of Dominican sandwiches, demonstrates. This sunny little storefront with a stand-up counter that fits maybe three customers offers sandwiches and smoothie-like batidos to a mostly Spanish-speaking crowd. Counter help with decent English and a well-translated menu make this an easy place for Anglos to enjoy, too.
