Because my "second family" is Cuban and I have a great affinity for all things Cuban (not just the…read morecigars and the rums) I always have a complex about non-Cubans preparing Cuban like things. There is even a Seinfeld episode on point about this with the Dominicans rolling the crepes. If you don't believe me compare a Romeo y Julieta (DR) to a real one, or any of the other cigar companies that have a DR factory with non-Cuban torcedores to one from the motherland. With the limited reviews of this joint on yelp I was having to read between the lines that the ladies preparing the food were probably not authentic Cubans. But based on the very favorable four to five star reviews of the Cuban sandwich from other yelpers, they seemed to know how to put in work on the gentlesir's favourite panini type class of sandwich so I was sold on giving it the olde "college try" since the prices seemed quite reasonable and I needed to submit receipts for travel reimbursement to my organization that were not handwritten. Just a note for yelpers - the "grocery store" part of the business is actually called Killeen Nutritional Center which has a separate yelp business page and this is the page for the to-go restaurant portion of the biz. I wandered around there for several minutes trying to find the sammich counter until I realized I was at the deli (in the grocery store) and the girl behind the deli counter was actively ignoring me. So I spotted the door behind the registers the other way and walked into the sammich place I wanted to be in. They could really use a sign or something, or workers that will acknowledge your existence and direct you appropriately. I actually know some spanglish so I know enough to be helpful asking where ya boy can obtain his emparedado. There is "prepared food" cafeteria style that most people dining in seemed to be getting so there is a line for that. However if you are gentlesir in for a sammich then you go straight to the register to order it there, pay for it, then you go wait for it to come out. There are also people buying the pastries out of the case at the register which are neither sammiches nor prepared cafeteria style take out, so there is some light confusion and at one time there appeared to be three separate lines of people trying to get it in at the one girl working the one register at the counter. The Cuban comes with Swiss cheese, pork, ham, mustard, pickle, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. Or if you are bi-curious: el cubano (es una balleza tambien) tiene queso suizo, pernil, jamon, mostaza, pepinillo, lechuga, tomate, cebolla, y mayonesa. Homey costs $3.35. You read that right. This is not the best Cuban I have ever had if we are being honest. It was not prepared by authentic Cubans, but they never represented that they were authentic Cubans so we have to temper expectations accordingly and especially at this price point. I have to review the sammich in accord with Antone's last non-chain outpost in the Med Centre who also was not Cuban, but they mastered the non-Cuban art of making Cuban food. I am pretty sure my order ticket they put in to the kitchen said something along the lines of me being a gringo, possibly a puta also but I will never know even though I always assume this is being said behind my back and the main reason why I learned spanglish. This thing came with a Shania Twain sized heaping of mayo. So much mayo. Goddammit I don't even like mayo, that racist stereotype has to end. Meanwhile I love mustard and that was nearly nonexistent. I also love pickles and there was little pickle to speak of. If I knew they were going to go HAM on the mayo I would have just told them to hold it entirely and slide some pickle magic into the sammich in its place - but I would have to be careful that nothing got lost in translation since sliding a pickle into something is a double entendre which we snuck past the censors, just like that lemon party joke. So that is my most useful tip I can give you for your visit, tell them to hold the mayo unless you want six pounds of it on your sammich just ruining everything and your good time. THAT IS NOT HOW A CUBANO IS SUPPOSED TO GO. The meats were extremely dry and I suppose the giant dosing of mayo was an effort to mask that desert dryness, which was exquisitely unsuccessful on me but may have worked its charm better on other diners. I put the sammich on par with Subway quality at best (especially the underwhelming tomato and lettuce quality) but not customizable at your own instruction as Subway is, so you don't need to take any responsibility for the creation of this monstrosity. This was my worst meal on my road trip through this area. However, I am still rewarding them with a three star yelp review (an #upgrayedd of stars taking into account the totality of the circumstances beyond the disappointing sammich) since unlike KMB they printed me a proper receipt I could actually use for reimbursement from my organization.

call it luck or call it what you want, but this is an actual food truck that landed today in the…read morehotel I am staying in Killeen TX, and boy, is this food tasty. Its a Boricua own truck that serves cuban sandwiches, empanadas of all type of meats, pork, beef, chicken, and they also have Spanish rice and pull pork. Now looking as some of their previous pictures, I guess it depends of the location, the menu may be different. So let me talk about what I had. I had the spanish rice, with pull pork and beef empanada. They also included a slice of avocado in my plate. It was $8.00 for my plate and the serving was generous. Flavor, well, lets say I though my mama made this food, and I love my mama's cooking because she can cook. Rice flavor was not overbearing, it was just wright, the pull pork was also very flavorful and moist. The beef empanada was not greasy and the empanada was full of meat, unlike other places where the empanadas are full of air, hardly any meat. The meat had great flavor. They had special sauces you could add, but the flavors were such that I didn't have to add anything to it. Since this is a food truck, I have no idea of their hours or their next location, but their business card says to check them out Facebook@TheHotSpotGrill and if you subscribe, i guess you can check out their events and next spot. Unfortunately I don't have a Facebook account, but I do have a phone and I am sure that if I call them and I don't sound like a stalker, they will let me know of their next service spot which I would have no problem visiting. In case you are wondering, their ph # is 254-458-2150. I am all about promoting great places with great flavors!!! : )

Today I order 2 Cubans and 2 beef empanadas. It took 30 minutes to get my food but I've gone here awhile and excuse the long wait times. Finally, I get my food and rush back to work since the wait took so long. Sit down to eat my food, get done with a quarter of the sandwich when I see a COCKROACH smushed against the 2nd half of my sandwich. I called the restaurant 4 times asking for a manager and got hung up on every time. I clocked out and drove back to the restaurant with the sandwich. I asked for a manager and the dark haired lady behind the counter barely let me tell her the issue before she took the bag with the sandwich and went into the kitchen. She came back out with cooks following her. I don't speak fluent Spanish but I do understand it. The cooks were calling me a liar, saying it was impossible and that I should eat at home. The "manager" told another lady at the counter with red hair to refund ONLY one sandwich. I was not going to accept that when I couldn't eat any of the food I purchased after that discovery. I asked for the head manager/"her boss" and after a while, I got the right person who heard me and refunded both of my orders. Regardless, I will never come back here. I know a lot of people who come here including soldiers and I'll be sure to spread the word. My whole experience was disgusting and unacceptable including the service.
