What exactly are they?
I used to live near a Cuban Restaurant and really liked it. They served food similar to Caribbean/African. Beans and rice, yams, pork, corn tortillas, fired plantains.

That's a traditional one (minus the onions and mayo) and what I usually look for. It's a sweet and spicy kind of sandwich, with a little of the pickle flavor and saltiness of the ham. In western Kentucky, most Cubans are just lunch meat instead of the roast pork, but it still works fairly well.
