- A Cuban tries Cuban Sandwich (cubano sandwich) and you get to see his first time reaction! Confused? While in Miami cuban food is an absolutely must. But Cuban food in America is much different than Cuban food in Cuba. Including the famous Cuban Sandwich, which is originally from Tampa not Cuba! So watch Yoel and Mari eating cuban sandwich for the very first time in our mini Miami food tour!

I love you guys.
No one knows what they don't know..

If you like that sandwich you should try an authentic Carolina pulled pork sandwich.
Deep sea fishing for Marlin. Nice dinner with cocktails on the fishing yacht. Enjoy sunset. Like one could do in Cuba before Castro.
Tampa's Cuban Sandwich
"I'm not going to celebrate this because many people need this."
Wow 😭😭
Yeah go suck on a Cactus in the Desert 🏜️
It makes me sad that he can’t feel more joy about his experiences, though I know he loves them and is grateful for them. But sad on how the Cuban people have to live without even the basic necessities. Keep educating those here. Thank you. Love your videos.
Thanks so much Gloria. Its just sad our families cant really do this either and they depend on US just to do basic things like going to a restaurant and eating food.
I don't think it's sad, I think his perspective and rational comparative analysis are ESSENTIAL for the world to make correct decisions. His humility of thinking of those less fortunate is why HE and his lady are excellent humans. They know what the solution is. They also understand the difficulties of implementing the solution. It's sobering but they are playing the long game by educating and tweeking the errant perspective of others.

I'm Cuban American, we don't need "tweaking".
I've been here since 1962. Little Havana has been in Miami for over 50 years. Before Castro we had the 8th richest economy in the World.
We were called the "Paris of the Americas".
80% of the Businesses in South Florida are Cuban.
You'd be surprised at the number of Cuban Americans who are members of Congress. Several dozen Cubans that are / have been 'A' list Hollywood Stars, same in Professional Sports, also in creating International Corporations such as Amazon. Yet, we are less then 1% of the population....
So, no Sir. We don't need Tweaking.
Instead look to your own Political Situation here at home, where you are less than 1 generation away from becoming another Cuba or Venezuela. Where American children are Indoctrinated to hate their Country, The Constitution and Capitalism. We lose This Republic, where is there to escape to ?

@@leedavis9576 My comment wasn't directed to those who's life experiences have provided them both adequate comparative analysis and perspective but more towards those lacking such. Never stop learning 👍.
@@ericreed4535 The perspective that needs tweaking are the activists who, while claiming to support the underdog, are supportive of Castros regime and glorify Che Guevara.
I feel his anger and frustration that Cuban people have been lied to and taken advantage of for too long. This is such a simple thing, getting a sandwich. It’s hard to believe that just 90 miles south of Florida people can’t even enjoy such a simple act. I hope for Cubans to get their lively and spirited culture back. I love to see the old films from there. It sure looked amazing. And yes, even in good times there are problems and this is happening in other places too.
Thank you so much Trisha, we pray for that same thing everyday. Imagine only a 30 min plane flight and your suddenly in aother world.
Because communism sucks the life out of humans.
@@annastinehammersdottir1290 Yet Americans and Westerners want to bring communism and socialism to their countries. Its funny to a person born in Soviet Union and living in country that entered EU just 20 years ago. Spoiled suburbian westerners take Capitalism for granted and only see the bad things in it. while missing that socialism is million times worse.
@@CC-vv2ne You're talking about the anti-American, anti-Capitalism political left in this country, not true Americans who know better.
The only way to give the Cubans a better life is with US army intervention and puppet Cuba for a while (possibly become a territory and future state) but that’s all wishful thinking and won’t happen for many years if it does
The Cubano is one of the worlds best sandwiches. So simple yet amazing. You should take him to eat some Texas BBQ next. Big ass beef ribs and brisket with ALL the sides.
They've done BBQ and he loved it
I don't BBQ but I want a big giant rib eye steak from texas
Almost in all Yoel and Mary videos tears come to my eyes. I am from Puerto Rico and saw many Cubans come to our island seeking freedom. Viva Cuba
i really have been loving the little history lesson at the start of the videos lately! now they are not only emotional but educational!
Thank you!!! Many people have said that and its really interesting to see how many people find that valuable. We will continue to do so!
Me too, thank you. What an eye opener.
@@YoelAndMari I am Tampa Ybor City born and raised. Thank you for getting the Cuban sandwich history correct. Also that Cuban sandwich they made was the correct way to make it with mustard. Never put mayo on a Cuban sandwich. That is a crime!!
As a born American Citizen with Cuban family members. I grew up knowing my heritage and cuban history before I knew US history. Seeing this truly struck a cord at my heart strings. It’s is so difficult and there are no words to express what it’s like unless you live it or are close to those that are living it. This made my day. What a blessing that he was able to enjoy his meal and bring awareness to what’s happening in Cuba. Many blessings family. .
It breaks my heart to see how such simple things we enjoy daily is something our sisters and brothers in Cuba could only dream of.
fact!
No sympathy. They welcomed communism. Let them bask in it.
It's definitely heartwarming to see this man getting to enjoy things too many Americans take for granted.
Glad you’re enjoying our yt
@@YoelAndMari wonderful to see you enjoying those things that for all of us outside Cuba are common and have been daily experiences which sometimes we do not appreciate fully. I hope the US lifts the embargo and Cuba can continue implementing good capitalist practices in order to open more their markets and achieve all their goals. Just remember that some of the freedoms Cubans do not have are in so called "free" countries the cause of many social and health problems. Not having access to things is bad, but also having unlimited access to everything is bad too...
You two are making us aware of the many blessings in the USA. Please let's see these videos being shared in Cuba to awaken the masses.. and yes, make them angry enough to say No More!! God Bless you.
Thank you Jeanie!
People in Cuba wave the American flag and ask for freedom. In the US gets burned and we beg the government to take our freedoms
In Cuba...easier said than done
@@kimsuarez9286 Only the indoctrinated morons want that and I blame their idiot parents.
No more US embargoes?
"For freedom of speech. That's why we are here." Well said, my brother. We stand with you.
I have had no idea that the people of Cuba are suffering so much and this breaks my heart, I will definitely share your channel and message and hopefully others will find out as well. I live in New Hampshire in the North east of the USA and had no idea what was happening in Cuba, thank you so much for sharing and opening my eyes. I hope others see this as well
Cuban deserves what they going through 😅
I love the openness to experience new things, probably I would have said “What? That’s not Cuban, I am Cuban and we don’t have that, so it’s not legit” but instead, he went with an open mind, tried, liked it, and wishes his people back home could have some of those simple, good things. Gracias Yoel, este país necesita más inmigrantes como tú.
Asi somos muchos cubanos!!! Yo se que hay diferencia entre cultura en Cuba y en la isla por culpa de la historia que creio una disapora.
I swear that first bite he looked like he was gonna cry. I'm so happy for you both, even though i myself have never had a Cuban sandwich
What a good hearted man, he always thinks of his family and home country. I wish he didn't have that pain and sadness. Hopefully Cuba is free one day soon and I hope he can bring his family here.
I've been watching a bunch of your videos this morning and I have to say it's humbling..... Makes me proud to be an American and feel very grateful that I live in this country. We really don't know how good we have it.
I'm from Georgia, USA. My family are from central Florida. Cubans are the nicest, most welcoming people on this planet. Liberate Cuba.
Can’t wait to see him enjoy holidays here including thanksgiving and xmas
I cant wait either. Im going OVER THE TOP
that cuban sandwich looks awesome
I'm happy that they are getting to live like this. They seem like nice and humble people. Maybe one day the people of Cuba will be able to live with what we take for granted in America. Love from Texas..
They'd have to go to war and be willing to fight and die for it, like Americans did long ago. I don't see that happening. Most people in these communist toilets run and don't fight. Simple truth.
I see how guilty he feels enjoying all of these wonderful things, and that's so sad. He should celebrate getting to experience these things that bring him joy, but instead he thinks about all the people left over there who don't have anything at all. I understand where he's coming from, and it just breaks my heart. I pray that things change for the Cuban people, and that Yoel, in the meantime, can find a balance somehow.
So heartwarming to see Yoel's reaction when he takes that first bite! But then so sad to realize that the people in Cuba are going hungry. It must be so difficult for Yoel to enjoy all the new experiences here in the US - even simple one's like eating a sandwich in a restaurant and people in Cuba don't have that. Thank you for these videos, keep educating us - we need to share these videos so we can grow your channel and educate more people about what hardships the Cubans are going through every single day! Much love to you both Yoel and Mari!
The worst starvation in Cuba, is Freedom.
The reason the most basic items are non existent, is because of the basic lack of Freedom. Remove the Boot of Socialism from the throat of the Cuban People, and they will again become the "Paris of the Americas".
It just means Yoel is a good person, that his empathy immediately kicks in.
This unfortunately is what the outcome of communism always is. Prayers for the people in Cuba.
I am Cuban and have family in Cuba .My Dad came here in 1955 because of Castro, worked hard, and brought his sister here, but these people are Scammers!! They never ate pie, I guess they don`t make pies in Cuba? She speaks perfect English?The real Cubans living there need our help, not these scammers who get free tickets to a baseball game or people helping them to free stuff!!
@@randysalas3453 You don't know that. Everyone's situation is always different. I am American but old enough to remember the danger of communism and the difference between immigrants walking in and planting themselves here to demand everything from us only to hold loyalty for the country they left and cry racism over anytime they do not get their way and those who escaped real tyranny like that in Cuba to be now be able to see and experience some freedom and things like eating pie. Do you really think people who are starving and scaping an scrounging to survive are able to afford eating pie when they need to try and feed their families what little real food they can scrounge up?
I love his smile. Every video Yoel is smiling from ear to ear. As someone born in this country, I will never be able to appreciate it as much as Yoel. He has a perspective I will never have and watching him smile makes me appreciate it a bit more. Thank you.
People like this channel cause he doesnt take anything in America for granted, like SO MANY IN AMERICA DO. He understands true Capitalism and true Socialism, like SO MANY IN AMERICA DO NOT.
When I watch these videos I always tear up. The joy he experiences and the wonder he has makes me want to be a kid again. I truly hope that Cuba is free one day and can experience this kind of joy. You can tell that once his excitement wares off a tad he feels kinda guilty. You two are wonderful.
dangit Yoel, that speech made me cry and i'm at the office! LOL. Keep em coming!!!
well that sandwich made me cry too! LOL
I'm sharing this on Facebook. I have friends that are wanna be "socialists", but they have no idea how socialism devolves into dictatorship and poverty for the masses. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Welcome to the United States; I pray that you find the ultimate in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I also hope and pray videos like yours can help to keep this great country from destruction.
It doesn't necessarily devolve into that. Look at Norway or Denmark.
@@themoviedealers Norway and Denmark are not socialist countries.
@@themoviedealers Norway and Denmark are NOT socialist countries. Read about the "Nordic Model". They are heavy on social programs paid for by high taxes, but have a free market system, citizens own property, and operate in many other ways as democratic capitalistic republics. The Scandinavian countries are NOTHING like a suffering Cuba.
@@themoviedealers They're Social Democracies, not Communists.
That said, it's not that Communism itself produces the tinpot dictatorships, but the revolution and destabilization, followed by military power ruling all. In a chaotic environment, warlords always try to take power, because power vacuums, like ones in nature, must be filled. You see this sort of dictatorship coming to form in any form of country that experiences destabilization and a change of ruling power or political upheaval, be it the fall of Weimar Republic, the fall of Republic of China, the fall of the Russian Empire, or the fall of the Roman Republic.
This is why peaceful transition of power is so important. In ancient China, the changing of Emperors often became a bloody and dangerous affair, as power blocs plot and fight over the throne. In America, people were just recently reminded of what happens when that peaceful succession process is disrupted by a dangerous demagogue who denounces the peaceful transition and change of leadership, by sowing doubts about the political system and democratic process itself.
It's easy to go to extremes and simplify things into "if only we did this, everything would be alright," but as history has shown us, it is never that clear cut or simple, because humanity itself is not a simple thing.
@@matasa7463 Please identify a communist country that did not have or does not have a dictatorship, tinpot or otherwise? Communism cannot be imposed on a people without an authoritarian dictatorship because it tries to deny human nature. All this is excuses. Communism doesn't work and causes widespread misery, not to say death. It is communism itself that produces the dictatorships, although there are other situations that can produce it as well.
So sad to see you so happy and so sad at the same time, every time. Viva Cuba!
Its a constant battle. We just wish our loved ones can enjoy this too.
Correction: Viva Cuba Libre!! I really hope it happens in my lifetime.
@@YoelAndMari the awareness you are bringing to the issues with your videos helps more than you know. Yoel's passion and love is inspiring.
Viva Dios y el Nazareno
I love how strongly Yoel feels about wanting thing we take for granted needing to become available to the Cuban people who are still suffering under 1950's style communism and shortages.
When winter comes Yoel needs to go someplace and play in the snow!
But, with REALLY warm clothes, hat over the ears, gloves AND really warm, dry boots. Cold is no joke.
Like Colorado maybe skiing or snowmobiling!!! Belie it or not in metro Denver we hike year round and have had 60 and 70 degree F weather in November and December!!! March and April are great to watch girls ski in Bikinis
@@Keyee1 sometimes we get cold skiing but spring skiing is great cause we higher and closer to the sun so sunburns can be problems at times
Aspen, Colorado !
It’s a joy to see your reaction to things we Americans take for granted. I share your videos on my Facebook page. Every American should watch them.
It was heartwarming to see Yoel's joy in tasting a Cuban sandwich for the first time. At the same time, it is sad to know the hardships faced by the people living on the island and their having to worry about dinner every day. Saddest of all is knowing and remembering that such hardships did not exist 65 years ago. What a cruel fate for the island paradise that was.
I know where you are coming from my Cuban brothers. I am Polish but born and raised in Western Europe, studied in the US and enjoy freedom and democracy every day. Poland and countries from the eastern block were also enslaved till 1990, exactly like in Cuba. Went to Poland several times when it was still a communistic regime and it was pretty sad to say the least. Poland today looks like the US with huge supermarkets open 24/7, modern cities and most importantly, freedom.
I pray for my Cuban brothers to gain freedom and recover the country that was taken from you. Never lose hope, you will get there!
God Bless America and all free Nations on our beautiful planet.
We remember when Poland gave us a lot of help during the Soviet times and provided education to a lot of Cuban engineers. My uncle was one of the few that lived there for a time, while going through engineering school.
Ever since I been in love with Polish culture and history. Love all the Polish films like Potop and With Fire & Sword. I hope one day I'll be able to visit, for when I was stationed in Germany with the U.S army the Berlin wall was still up.
When the events of 1989 happened in Poland, many cubans were hoping for the same in Cuba, but it was not to be! Still thank you Poland for being an example against communism, and for still being an example against EU multiculturalism and the Russian threat!
Viva Polonia!
These video's are so important to keep sharing! The average American does not grasp what is happening in Cuba.
No idea. But thats ok, so many other countries suffering as well. We just must be grateful
YEA!!!! it makes me so happy when Yoel enjoys something wonderful and new! Everyone needs to feel his deep integrity.👏🏾❤️
Your editing is fantastic - love your weaving in a little history with each video. I hope Cubans get to someday make their own economic/consumer choices, and that our two countries can be in close contact with each other again.
Thank you so much for noticing. Editing is very hard for me as I have only edited the videos on this channel. So thank you for noticing. and the history as well :)
Fact is us Cubans are so much related to American culture that it’s not even funny. There’s a city in Cuba named Hershey and it named that because their used to be a Hershey chocolate Factory and headquarters their. Americans used to travel and they had businesses in Cuba. ( Pre 1959 ) of course. We’re so closely related it’s not even funny. Cubans also fought in WW2 supporting America.
I lived in Ft Lauderdale for 10 years and every time I went to "Little Havana" I had to have a Cuban Sandwich. There was a guy there that made "hush puppies" (cornmeal fritters) but out of dried black-eyed pea meal he ground in the back of his cafe. AWESOME!! 1985-1995
Please let beautiful Cuba be free and prosperous once again! Such wonderful people that we can learn so much from!❤️
Omg I love guava and cheese. I’ve only tried it in pastries. That shake has my mouth watering!
I don’t normally eat pork either, but I had to try a Cuban sandwich when I was in Tampa-I can see why they’re so popular. It’s just the perfect mix of salty and cheesy and sour from the pickles and mustard.
As he continues to try new things, you should have him rank them to each other, and update the list after every experience.
Thats actually a good idea! We're doing a burger battle next week!
@@YoelAndMari Guga Foods Smashburger - be sure to include one of these home-made creations, perhaps after your burger battles to make a comparison.
czcams.com/video/3yX_bpbCmfo/video.html
@@YoelAndMari Make sure to add Whataburger to the list if possible!
His humility and gratitude are amazing. It makes you think about all we take for granted here in the U.S.
My best friend and I used to take road trips around the states. One trip we stopped in a restaurant in lil Cuba and I swear by the time we left we felt like family, could barely move from how much they fed us and both wished we lived close. Absolutely loving, colorful, generous people.
I have always wanted to try a Cuban Sandwich. They look really good! Thank you for answering the question as to where they originated from. :)
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching, as always, TERRI!
@@YoelAndMari será porque allá le dicen "medianoche"?
@@LindaC616 a medianoche is slightly different. It uses an softer egg bread, rather than Cuban bread.
Well...what are you waiting for ??
I tried my first Cuban sandwich when I was 23 and had the same reaction as yoel.
Has Yoel seen snow before? It would be interesting to take Yoel to a place that has snow and maybe try winter sports like snowboarding or ice skating
I was thinking the same thing...I believe Yoel and the lady live in California... So maybe this winter they can go to the sierra Nevada mountains or maybe even Big Bear or lake arrowhead after a good snow storm.
Oh jackson, that is the ultimate Cuban Dream. SNOW. Yoel came in April so no snow (and we are from California now living in Arizona so no snow). We are just aiting for season npw. Where should we go!?
@@YoelAndMari The Rocky Mountains, particularly in Colorado! Breathtaking, and a must-visit state.
@@YoelAndMari definitely try Colorado, since you are relatively close, being in Arizona.
@@YoelAndMari Since you live in Gilbert, go up to Flagstaff in the winter..
I'm so appreciative to the things America gives us. I'm also glad that our Cuban immigrants enjoy what America has to offer. I love watching your videos because it makes me thank God I was born here.....
I cry every time I watch your videos. It's so real, raw, and heartbreaking. I wouldn't be able to enjoy or celebrate anything either if my family could eat with me. So sad.
You need to spoil Yoel with The Cheesecake Factory or something like that. Someplace with sooo many sweets he'll risk diabetes.. Haha
And thanks so much for sharing. More people need to appreciate the country like Yoel does.
I appreciate what you're saying he deserves it but it's not a joke going blind losing your leg and dying is never a joke
These wonderful videos make me so happy for Yoel, and yet I find it heartbreaking that his fellow
Cuban's are deprived of nearly all of the common/everyday things we Americans take for granted.
Welcome to America, Yoel! It would take a lifetime to experience all the wondrous things that make
this place so magical...so get busy! Hopefully, the future will see the people of your homeland freed
from oppression. When that day comes, America will happily share it's wealth and resources with
the people of Cuba...that's a promise!
I absolutely love you two. Your love of America and all we have to offer is so refreshing these days. So many people that are born here have no idea what they have and seem to hate America. You should have a TV show. Thanks again
haha maybe one day Chris!! We hope our YT reaches many people :)
Yoel staring into the waitress’ eyes: “b- why you lyin’?? This s- ain’t in cuba!” 😅
We're at a point in American History where our Heritage needs to be preserved!
Or enriched...
And we are now being conditioned to become accustomed to the shortages and doing without. Look around. It starts slowly…we NEED people like this to make Americans aware what socialism transitioning to communism is, and where we are headed if young people don’t wake up!!
Love watching these experiences.
When we arrived in Cuba we were told if we wanted a Cuban sandwich to go back to Miami!
😀 🇺🇸. Free 🇨🇺 Patria y Vida
We've been enriched for a long time...Euro culture has made it possible . 3 cheers for Spain...3 cheers for Musica Cubana...and el Sandwich Cubano .
@@YoelAndMari Immigrants like Yoel ARE preserving American History because he appreciates what America has and (unlike many) doesn't want to immediately destroy or change it. I think that's what most Americans believe. We have too many folks who want to tear down America. We NEED more people like Yoel who comes to American and loves and appreciates 'the good' that is here. So yes, preserving and 'enriching' are both paths in the same direction. Yoel is the type of immigrant EVERYONE wants to come here (honest, hardworking, compassionate, appreciative, and aware of what communism does to a country :( )
Love your channel and love Yoel's impassioned speech on the hardships our brothers and sisters in Cuba are experiencing.
It was days after the protest. We were all so emotional
Glad you're here Yoel..now you can start making a great future and hopefully bring your family to share your wonderful experiences.
I hope so too!
These videos make me happy/sad on so many levels. That he's enjoying America so much, but his enjoyment is bittersweet because he thinks of his people who are missing out on so many simple things. I pray that the people of Cuba can escape the yoke of tyranny and get the freedoms they deserve so much. Thanks for giving us these videos.
Thank. you kyle
Your videos get me so emotional 😭 thank you for sharing. #patriayvida #freecuba #cubalibre
No hay que estar emocional... solo pidimos PATRIA Y VIDA cada dia!
This reminds me of my family and how they left Cuba to come to the US. Thank you for sharing your story!
Glad you enjoyed it
Greetings from Toronto Canada ❤ 🇨🇦
We love the Cuban people and which both our countries would open for all that wished to come
I was blessed to know my late in-laws, who came from Cuba in the 1950’s and first settled in Union City, NJ. They were as fine as any people who ever walked the Earth. I cherish their memory. This young man’s heart….his caring for the people of Cuba…..is really something to see.
Mari, if your husband loves you half as much as that sandwich, you've got it made. 🥰😘👍🏼☺
Yoel appreciates this life. He understands what a blessing is.
Ahora tiene que probar un sandwich Cubano de un restaurant Mexicano!
He seems like a man that has suffered a great deal looking at his face I can read sadness Be no more sad my friend enjoy the blessings and the journey life has offered to you 💓
Yoel shook his head in disbelief. “How can anything be this good!” His mind repeated over and over revving his appetite higher and higher! Eyes blinded by the bright lights of child like delight. He asks himself with a tender thought “can heaven be any better?”
It just occurred to me something so tragic about these experiences. Yoel always goes on a roller coaster of excitement back down to sadness after he is reminded of those he left behind. That man has a kind heart. To be sure some who have escaped never look back, but Yoel always does.
I LOVE Cuban sandwiches, but I never knew the history of them. Thank you for these videos. I’m becoming so humbled by Yoel’s experiences, and much more appreciative of the things we have here in America. Much love to you both!
The math meme of Yoel was priceless. I love the interviews that you get with people and love seeing Yoel get new experiences. I would love to see more content of him trying different types of foods!
I watch these vids from these two all the time and love them ,,, bless them and bless the ppl of Cuba ,,,, where all family !!!!
His passion broke my heart at the end!!! GOD BLESS!
Thank you jason!
Oh wow that food almost makes me cry as I moved from the Miami area in 1994 and that was the last time I had a Pan con Bistique sandwich, oh so good. That shake looked like something to die for :-)
When you go back its something you HAVE to try!!
@@YoelAndMari Perhaps someday when I can relearn to drive in that traffic ;-)
I support CUBA and have much love for Cuba and for Cuban-Americans. This from a daughter of an Italian immigrant. I understand how bad it is in Cuba and how much the people deserve freedom and liberty. My heart and prayers are with you.
The pressed Cubans are my absolute favorite I’m glad to see this man get to try it for the first time
His reaction and speech left me with a rock in my throat.
We filmed this days after the histroical protests in July. And it was so emotional for us. We just want this in Cuba. Somethign so simple isnt possible in Cuba for many many cubans
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You have truly made me realize how important it is to make the most of every special experience I have in my life, and to not take anything for granted....both of you are incredibly special, and I am thankful that you can have these experiences in a free country.
Growing up with the privilege of being an American it's nearly impossible for me to understand anything you have gone through. From the deepest part of my heart welcome to America and I hope your future is full of happiness and abundance. I hope very soon in the future Cuba can have the things we have and we can build strong ties of peace and friendship. May God bless you!
I was hoping you'd finish your meal with one of those famous Cuban coffees you can get in Miami. I don't drink coffee often but when I was in Miami, I made an exception. Also, when I was a child, my family's favorite Mexican restaurant had a drink called the Cuba Libre. It's just rum and Coke but it was indicative of the Spanish-speaking world's desire for a free Cuba.
Of course! But cuban coffee is pretty standard everywhere. We also have Cuba Libres in Cuba. In Miami they are famously called Mentiras (lie) because Cuba isnt free.
I love watching his reactions, but it saddens me that his family can't be there to enjoy it with him. Bless you and your families.
God bless this young man and his fellow country men and women..
I grew up in the Gables in Miami and I NEVER had that shake before OMG! I need to make one!!!! OMG!
Yoel's words about the fight for even the simplest things, is extremely profound....
I know when my late uncle came over... he came with his parents and his aunt and they were able to leave freely still but they left their farms and properties and everything and risked so much.... but it was still dangerous for them and his mother and aunt both had sewn a lot of their jewelry into their under garments when they left but they also buried so much to hopefully find one day again. My cousins have all the documents to one day be able to reclaim all the family lands there....
My late uncle and his father before him were doctors and both named Joaquin Mario Fernandez.
His father was well known but to a generation long passed away....
xoxo Randolph
I love Cuban sandwiches! I'm so happy and so sad for Joel at the same time. Viya con Dios!
The Cuban people have made such a great contribution to the United States. We hope that some day that Cuba will be free.
😢 i cry watching your videos... I cant watch more than 1 or 2 at a time.
Its sad to know, and its sad so many Americans want that life here. Makes me literally cry.
Im so humbled... And you cant help but see how humble they are with all their new experience
I moved from South Florida over a year ago and have missed Cubans badly. Heading back down for Xmas and gonna show my daughter what she has missed her whole life
Loving the history of Cuba..... So many things that Americans never learn about Cuba..... Thank you guys....
Thank YOU for watching :)
I am a republican, but watching yall comparing our countries I think I've had a change of heart on many issues a lot of my fellow party members don't get. Thank you, Yoel, for showing me and others, the true differences. The ones that make me care. I could care less about what year car anyone drives, but you showed me an empty supermarket and I got mad for you. I saw your reaction to a supermaket stuffed with food here. That hit me. I'm very blessed to have always lived here. And I believe America would be more blessed if more of you came here :). God bless, and keep exploring this amazing land. I strongly suggest chicago pizza ;)
Come here legally or don't come here. Period.
My lord...eating a Cuban sandwich or a Cuban pulled pork sandwich with a Guava or Mamey cream cheese malt shake, is pure Bliss!!!!
Anything better than this, God kept for himself!!
To see you in America enjoying yourself makes me understand, but yet it also makes me put a new retrospect on what I've been living in America as her native son, and I know just me as an American I can't speak for anyone else here but myself, but I take a lot of things for granted just by knowing what you're country is going through! You and your wife have opened my eyes my brother, and America's new found son.
WONDERFUL!!!👍👍❣ Just seeing the look of pure happiness on your faces!!! We wish and pray that things will change for Cuba, and all poor repressed countries..👍👍👍❣❣❣😥😥😥
Why do I always watch these videos when I'm hungry? That sandwich looks SO good!
These videos always make me appreciate America. How fiercely he loves everything new and says Cuba wants what we have. Take note everyone.
Good afternoon Yoel and Mari, thanks for a smile! little fact sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Keep making videos like this and soon enough, awareness will make the people free. Cubans deserve it!
More than once tears have come to my eyes by watching Yoel and hearing the sadness in his voice when he speaks about those left behind in Cuba. I from Spain and have never suffered these painful scenarios but I confess that every time I bring my family to the USA we are amazed at what we see. Countries with tyrannical regimes, countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, North Korea, etc should not exist, countries where dictadors and their cronies enjoy every possible pleasure while people starve and get punished every day for complaining. Viva la Libertad, abajo con el Comunismo!
I am happy that he met you & you guys got married & he came here. However, as blessed as he is, do know that even in the USA thousands go hungry, face the weather without comfort & roam the streets homeless. It isn't a Cuba only thing. Children & seniors born and raised here do suffer everyday the same as in Cuba. Let's pray for everyone & let's pray the government gets to do better for the people
I'd never had one of these sandwiches until I visited my Cuban family in Miami. Now, wherever I am in the world, if I see it on the menu, that's what I get. I love these.
Every. Single. Time. May all Cuba soon be FREE🇺🇸🇨🇺. Have a blessed 2022 y’all.
Yes luv your videos I live in Tampa home of the Cuban sandwich been eating them since the late 60s as a child. I'm also the son of Chinese refugees from communism. Keep up the great videos
Well sherman then your parents, and you yourself, know what Yoel and I are going through! What a beautiful connection we both have.
When people talk about Cuban sandwiches they always leave out the Italians who also influenced the sandwiche. The "Cuabn bread" was actually made in Tampa by a Sicilian who ran a bakery. Cuban sandwiches originally had additional Italian salami. The salami is still a tradition in Tampa and some parts of Florida.

I love the Cuban community and support any effort to have this country be free!
I'm way up here in Washington State but a Cuban Sandwich is one of my favorites. Usually the ones up here have a wedged pickle instead of sliced like this, but either way it's an underrated sandwich for sure. So good.
I grew up with a Cuban friend who introduced me to the Cuban sandwich. Many places don’t make it right. They have too much thick slices of meat or they don’t flatten enough or use wrong bread. THAT is a real Cuban sandwich!! I am dying to eat one now.
I was so blindsided by Yoel's food experiences here stateside. Not having simple foods that are often considered "poor man's" food available or having the right to eat them in his native country.
Our food selections have changed drastically over the last few months as our budget has tanked greatly. But I'm proud Yoel is able to experience these things and I'm praying it will entice him to not only fight for the rights of his native country but fight for our rights as well. The government here is trying to pass a law that allows them to dictate was goes on the grocery shelves and how much of that food you're allowed to purchase. Many blessings from Southeast Texas ❤🇺🇲
The fact you shared a straw. Thats beautiful
