About Us

Welcome to TROPICAL SOUTH by THE CUBAN THING founded by Chuchi Rivero self-taught chef, entrepreneur, and a career TV/Film Director, with his wife Patricia Salazar, Canadian-born, an experienced executive in the communications and public relations industry.  Both involved in the culinary industry in one way or another for over 25 years.

We offer customer favorites like the authentic “EL CUBANO” sándwich, “GUAVA CHICKEN”, ”MIAMI STEAK”, “YUCA FRIES”, “TOSTONES”, among others such as the original “CUBAN FRITA” burger and our new ”FLAN BREAD PUDDING”.  We also have Cuba's most national dish “ROPA VIEJA”, while adding a wider variety of complete meals by adding white rice with black beans.   Don’t miss out on our famous “ISLAND MOJO SAUCE”, every meal gets some of this love.  Oh yeah! Everything is done fresh and on the spot, made with 100% Canadian local meats and products.
