Nope. While I can ignore using the wrong bread, Cubans have salami, use yellow mustard and they are not toasted - they are pressed.
Pork and ham are the two meats in a Cubano sandwich. I’ve never heard of salami in a Cubano.
EDIT: According to this web site, salami in a Cubano is a Tampa Bay thing:
Miami vs. Tampa Cuban Sandwiches
When I want to liven up a house party, I ask my friends which one makes the best Cuban Sandwich. One friend is from Miami and the other from Tampa and both believe their city makes the best Cubano.
The difference between the Miami and Tampa Cubano variations is minimal. It lies in one ingredient: salami.
Chances are if you eat a Cuban Sandwich in Tampa it will have salami, and in Miami it won’t. The Tampa contingent believes salami adds another layer of saltiness to the sandwich, which (according to them) is what makes theirs superior. On the Miami side simple is best.
