Tostones is the plural form of the word 'tostón',
It means a great deal more than 'plantains' (a type of banana ?)
Look at the definition in the Real Acedemica Española found here ----> tostón.
A machine translation of the RAE definition shows in English as:
roasted.
Slice of toast soaked in fresh oil, which is smeared with garlic and seasoned with salt or sugar and orange juice.
Small piece of fried bread, usually in the form of a cube, which is added to soups, purees, etc. U. m. pl.
Thing too toasted.
Roast suckling pig.
Dardo toast made with a rod at the tip to harden.
m. Tabarra, tin.
Talkative person of no substance.
Ant, Nic. and Ven. Slice green bananas, mashed and fried and sometimes spices.
Cuba. Plant family Nictagináceas with gnarled stem, oval leaves and purple flowers.
tostón2.
(Del port. Tostao, and east of the esp. teston).
Portuguese silver coin.
In Mexico and New Granada was used to refer to the real of four.
Was used referring to the currencies of 50 cents, and, ext., to which, in general, it is 50.
In the Canary Islands, a currency that is used with the equivalent value of the peseta columnar.

Tostones are a common dish among South Americans and Caribeños. The plantains which are in the same family as the banana, are cut into slices and fried. They make a great side dish. Personally, I like them with a little salt sprinkled on them.
