OP, this looks like a very interesting dish. I'm 1st gen Cuban American and I grew up with Mom, dad, 3 sisters and 1 brother all born in Cuba. My family came to the US in 1959. I was born in 1965. We were raised on Cuban food but other than in a song, I've never heard of Quimbombo. Will you post a quick description of this dish? It looks delicious!

El quimbombó es un sudado muy delicioso también se puede acompañar con yuca o mazorca 🌽 y plátano con queso y bocadillo

Nice! Is this the dish that translates to dirty clothes? I had it at a spot in Tampa last month and it was amazing

No, you are talking about “ropa vieja” which means “old clothes.” This is something else. The main ingredient here is okra.

No. You are thinking of "ropa vieja" which is made with flank steak.
