  Cuban sandwich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuban sandwiches (sometimes called "a sandwich mixto", or "Cuban Pressed Sandwich") were common on cafeteria and restaurant menus in Cuba by the 1930s, and there is evidence of them as early as the turn of the century.
The sandwich is then lightly toasted in a sandwich press called a "plancha" until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.
In the early days of Ybor City, where the Cuban sandwich was first popularized in the United States, the only ethnic group as numerous as the Cubans were the Italians.

 History of Cuban Sandwich, History of Cubano Sandwich
A great Cuban sandwich is grilled in a sandwich press (called a plancha) until the ham, pork, and pickles have warmed in their own steam (the steady application of heat and weight fuse the meat, cheese, and bread into a delectable and compact treat).
Cubans also had the ham which was brought by the Spaniards, and the cheese that was also brought by the Spaniards.
The traditional Cuban sandwich had evolved into the delicacy we know today, however not in Tampa, but to the Cubans in the island who took better than 400 years to make this delicacy perfect and allow all of us to enjoy the fruit of their expertise in sandwich making.
