CUBA 512 in Austin.

Best I have found.

Name others in the state

It's not Texas but if you're ever in Atlanta (including the airport), Papi's Cuban & Caribbean Grill is the best I've ever had.

Since you are in Austin.
Tropicana Cuban ( N. Lamar)

I ate there years ago when it was Cuban Sandwich. A co-worker went a few weeks ago and liked the classic Cuban sandwich.

Royal Jelly (St. Johns)

This isn't a Cuban place but their version of Cuban sandwich is great. Not a large place though.

Then there is Habana on S. Congress.

El Rey in Houston is well regarded. I think it is okay but I don't get all the hype.

Agree with this. People love this place but it is pretty average at best.

El Mago de Las Fritas.
But it's mostly Cuban burgers.
And it's in Miami.

I've heard the Havana Cafe in Casa Linda/White Rock Lake area of Dallas is really good. I've yet to go, but my partial Cuban friend swears by it.

Is that different from El Rey de las Fritas on Calle Ocho?

Piquet is the best.

Ask AgProducer.

I recently went to a place called El Mojito on FM 2920. It was fair for lunch.

I think so. It was a quasi dive with El "Mago" holding court with some regulars at the lunch counter. ERdLF looks like a small chain.
