The Cuban sandwich, also known as the Cubano, is a traditional Cuban-American dish that originated in the cafes of Ybor City, Tampa, in the late 1800s. This iconic sandwich features a combination of ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami, all layered between Cuban bread and pressed to crispy perfection.

Today, the best Cuban sandwiches can be found in Miami and Tampa, where local chefs and restaurants have perfected the art of crafting this beloved sandwich.
