Address/Phone/Web?
The Cuban Guy is located at 42 Montgomery Street,
Waynesville NC 28786
Are you from Haywood County? If not, where are
you from? No, I’m not from Haywood County. I’m
originally from Miami and have moved here to Haywood
County about a year ago.
What made you decide to go into the restaurant
business? Honestly, I noticed that there weren’t any local
Cuban restaurants and I wanted to give everyone a little
taste of authentic Cuban food right here in Waynesville.
How long have you been in the restaurant industry?
This is my first time ever doing in anything in the
restaurant industry.
What did you do prior to this venture? I used to be a
Casino host Manager for about 7 years at Casino Miami
What has been the best part so far? The best part of it
all has been meeting so many different people and seeing
them enjoy our food here at The Cuban Guy.
Why did you choose Haywood County to call
home for your restaurant? Waynesville called out my
name when I stopped here. I fell in love with this town
immediately.
Have you owned more than one restaurant? If so,
how many? This is my first time ever owning a restaurant.
Tell us about the atmosphere inside of The Cuban
Guy restaurant? Here at The Cuban Guy you can expect
a very old ‘50s kind of vibe. With I love Lucy playing on our
1950 TV set all day, Desi Arnaz records hung up, and old
family photos from Cuba.
