A quick search seems to indicate that there are numerous restaurants with Wajiro in the name. From one website:

Quote:
Cuba is the largest island of the greater Antilles. On this fertile and rich land lives the peasant who is kind, hard working and good natured. Cubans affectionately call him "Guajiro".

The Guajiro goes about his daily tasks with his wide brimmed hat made of "Yarey", white Guayabera (a traditional shirt), tabacco in his mouth and a machete and gaitero.
So I think Wajiro is a spelling variation of Guajiro. But then, if you're the King of Cuba, you should know that.

Welcome to the forums, by the way!
