      I don't think I have EVER left a youtube comment but as someone born and raised in miami and a resident of little havana for over a decade this video sucks. I live blocks away from both Palacios de Los jugos (a miami chain restaurant) and whatever that generic Cuban restaurant is next to the domino park. Neither is anything special. Then you ate a Cuban sandwich on SOUTH BEACH?! All he did was show tourist sites.

      @@athenastewart9167 Agreed. When I was living in Cali, I had a hard time finding authentic Cuban bread, but when I did, it was shitty - wasn't even close to the real thing. I didn't realize that food was special until I left FL. They always say that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I love the west mostly cus of the weather and it's cheaper than the east by a lot, especially places like Arizona and Nevada but the con is that there are barely any real, good Cuban places to eat lmaoo

He did drop the ball by not getting his Cuban sandwich at Versailles restaurant. That is THE place for it. Mark Wiens visited there a while back and lost his mind at how good the food there is.

    Been to Cuba...Have yet to see a "Cuban Sandwich"....that's a Miami invention :) Plenty of Ham & Cheese down there though....Chicken, Pork & Fish are the main dishes...Beef was always in short supply or for Tourists. Strange is to find Fried Rice everywhere...Bread is fantastic...Food tends to be on the bland side....probably just a lack of availability to products due to the embargo. Their ability to use whatever is on hand is amazing and a testament to their ingenuity to overcome all the shortages that they face on a daily basis. Now...hop on a plane to Havana and try out the real food of Cuba :)

    Roboahun is steak and onion. My cousin makes steak and oinion. Rice and peas is a jamaican staple food. Staple food means basic staple regular island food. My grandma used to say.
