	The '''Cubans''', also known as '''Los Cabrones''', are a Cuban street gang in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. In both games they are led by [[Umberto Robina]] and are based in the [[Little Havana]] district of [[Vice City in GTA III Era\|Vice City]]. Cubans are considered the prominent gang in the southern end of the mainland, considering that they defeated the Cholos and most likely the Haitians.

	In [[1984]] the Cubans are known as the Los Cabrones and are in conflict with a Mexican street gang named the [[Cholos]], over control of Little Havana and [[Little Haiti]]. Umberto Robina employs [[Victor Vance]] to aid him in his fight against the Cholos. Umberto Robina asked Victor to prove his worth to his gang by [[Nice Package\|picking up a package]] from [[Downtown (Vice City)\|Downtown]] in a race with [[Hilberto]], [[Carlos]], [[Fernandez]], [[Ronaldo]] and other Cuban gang members.

	Victor Vance then begins to work with the Cubans, which includes [[Balls\|killing various Cholos gang members who are causing havoc in Little Havana]], and [[Papi Don't Screech\|picking up Alberto Robina]] from the [[Hyman Memorial Stadium]] to avoid a possible abduction and/or murder. The Cubans eventually win the war with the Cholos after [[Havana Good Time\|stealing their weapons supply and destroying the warehouse]] they had been stored in.

	By [[1986]], the Cubans found themselves in a war with the [[Haitians]]. Umberto Robina contacts and employs [[Tommy Vercetti]] to aid him in the war with the Haitians. After completing a [[Stunt Boat Challenge\|boat challenge]] with [[Rico]], Tommy begins to help Cubans against the Haitians. Following this, Tommy Vercetti helps [[Cannon Fodder\|steal a van full of drugs]], [[Naval Engagement\|killing various Haitians for two briefcases]] and [[Trojan Voodoo\|blowing up a factory owned by the Haitians]].
