cubano
Havana native, informally
A cubano is a pressed sandwich of roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread, grilled until the cheese melts and the bread crisps: We grabbed cubanos from the food truck.
The sandwich originated among Cuban communities in Florida.
Cubano also means Cuban—a person from Cuba or something relating to the country.
