About Cuban

The Cuban sandwich, or "Cubano," is a savory delight rooted in Cuban cuisine, often credited to Cuban immigrants in Florida. This pressed sandwich features layers of roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, all assembled between slices of Cuban bread. Known for its crispy exterior and flavorful fillings, it is a popular comfort food in Latin culture. While the Cubano offers protein from the pork and ham, as well as calcium from the cheese, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on portion size and preparation. Pairing it with a fresh salad or opting for leaner cuts of meat can make it a more balanced choice. Whether authentic from a Miami café or homemade, the Cuban sandwich is a delicious way to experience the fusion of bold flavors and tradition.
