They reveal the secret of the Cuban sandwich from Versailles Restaurant in Miami.

Nicolle Valls, granddaughter of Felipe Valls, founder of the famous Versailles Restaurant in Miami, shared what the secret is behind the establishment's Cuban sandwiches.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Nicolle spoke about her family memories and the experiences she had growing up in the iconic Cuban-American establishment, inaugurated in 1971 and still providing services today.

"It was great to grow up in the restaurant industry and be part of Versailles," Nicolle commented. She also highlighted the role the restaurant plays within the Cuban-American community and the city of Miami, in general.

For Cuban Americans, Versailles is not just a restaurant to eat or have a snack, but a recurring destination to celebrate events related to the history of their homeland and their host country.

One of the most iconic dishes of Versailles is the Cuban sandwich, described by Nicolle as a "comfort food" that has endured over time thanks to family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

"They are recipes from people who worked in the kitchen when we started and that have been passed down over all these decades to what it is today," he stated.

The ingredients for the recipe of the famous Cuban sandwich from the Versailles restaurant, to be shared between two to four people, are:

• 1 Cuban bread, 2 feet (60 cm)
• 12 oz. of sweet ham
• 7 oz. of lean roasted pork
• 7 oz. of Swiss cheese
• mustard
• pickled cucumbers
• butter.
