The wrap was good. The feeling of the place I got wasn't. I went there around 1:30. They had a prominent sign for the wrap in the sandwich section. I asked the woman for the sandwich. It was sitting on a tray just behind the glass. She put it in a container and I was on my way. She didn't heat it which surprised me. The wrap itself was very good. It has a bunch of my favorite foods in it. Guac, sauteed onions, steak, and cheese. It was tasty, though the lack of heat made it seem slightly less than fresh. I think there is something lost in the fact that it isn't assembled on the spot. Aside from that, it was good and I'm happy I try it. I have to say that I doubt I'd visit Cucina again unless I had to. It's basically a generic deli with no seating. They sell a large bag of M&M's for $5.99. That's a total rip off. It's not so bad if you work in the met life building, but there are better spots if you're going to go out for lunch. I tried this today. The wrap was good. The feeling of the place I got wasn’t.

If it's after 1, it doesn't seem much of a lunch special. We went around noon, and they told us that it wouldn’t be ready until after 1pm. If it’s after 1, it doesn’t seem much of a lunch special.

Now -- this means the sandwich is not "fresh made", but it is pretty frickin large for 6 bucks. Roast beef like brisket (yes a tad chewy), with jack cheese, guac, some sort of spicy rub, lettuce (unnecessary), & sauteed/carmelized onions on a charred flour wrap. It's pretty good. Plus I added a cookie for me and the boss since the price was so nice.
