The Story Behind the Brand
Bored Cuban was founded in 2024 by Eric Castellanos, a Miami native with deep roots in Cuban culture. Growing up in a Cuban-American household, Eric experienced firsthand the power of food to bring people together, tell stories, and preserve traditions.
The idea for Bored Cuban emerged from Eric's passion for both his heritage and the emerging digital art scene. He saw an opportunity to create something that would honor the flavors and traditions of Cuban cuisine while speaking to a new generation of diners who value creativity, authenticity, and community.
The name "Bored Cuban" reflects a playful take on modern digital culture while acknowledging the restless entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation. It represents the desire to do something different, to take a beloved tradition and give it new energy without losing its soul.
"I wanted to create a place where Cuban food meets Miami's creative energy. A place where tradition and innovation coexist, and where everyone feels welcome."
