Torta Cubana is a Mexican sandwich filled with a variety of meats and sauces, a meal that is different from one vendor to the next. It was invented in the 1950s on Calle Republica de Cuba in Mexico City, when a cantina cook first started serving tortas with everything he had available.

The sandwich quickly gained popularity and got its name from the street where it was first made. Torta Cubana should not be confused with the popular Cubano sandwich, as the two have nothing in common except their similar names.
