Authentic Puerto Rican and Cuban Food. We have amazing traditional Food. We are the Original Creators of the CuBun™ Our Menu Concept Originates from the Amazing History and Influence Chinese Immigrants had on the Melting Pot of Cuban and afro Caribbean food. In the original Cuban Chinese Immigrations of Chinese immigration to Cuba started in 1847 when Chinese (Cantonese and Hakka) contract workers were brought to work in the sugar fields, bringing the religion of Buddhism with them. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were brought in from China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan during the following decades to replace and /​or work alongside African slaves. After completing eight-​year contracts or otherwise obtaining their freedom, some Chinese immigrants settled permanently in Cuba, although most longed for repatriation to their homeland. Havana’s Chinatown (known as Barrio Chino de La Habana) is one of the oldest and largest Chinatowns in Latin America. We created our Cubun™ and our Luv Sum™ Menu to honor and celebrate this amazing people and fusion of wonderful Caribbean Fusion and the Chino Cubano™ people. We where inspired to create and experiment with these cultures creating an amazing original and our unique Luv Sum™” Menu. Consisting of a series of Caribbean Asian Infused BunsTony Cubano’s is not only a Bastion of Heritage but as an organization we are here to celebrate the wonderful mix of cultures thru Authentic and Original Cuisine commencing with our Cubun
