As some who lives in Miami and is cuban by marriage, I can say that this sandwich looks pretty legit. I love the idea of slicing the pickles lengthwise -- it makes the sandwich easier to eat. When making the sandwiches, make sure that the cheese and meats are at room temp -- it helps the cheese melt faster. That way you don't burn the bread. Personally, I like my cubanos piping hot. Most places serve them hot now a days. I also like yellow mustard on mine -- that is not traditional but it is good.
