    Cubano sandwich with seasoned fries!
    Ryan M.

    This Food Truck is FIRE! Great authentic Cuban food! I loved the Cubano Sandwhich with French fries! The fries were just like McDonald French fries. Light and crunchy! The man working in the truck was friendly and helpful as well! Highly recommend eating at this truck!

    I ate half I couldn't wait!!

    El Cubano Kitchen delivers incredible flavor and authenticity. The Cubano sandwich was outstanding--perfectly toasted bread, juicy pork, and a delicious balance of savory and tangy. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. It's one of the best sandwiches I've had, and I'd honestly eat it every day. Highly recommend!

    Ropa Vieja Sandwich
    Calixto O.

    Hands down one of my favorite food trucks. I love the Ropa Vieja and Cubano sandwiches.

    gotta get the croquetas

    From the food to the excellent service, i can't get enough. Love is an understatement i have for this food truck. all the food is bomb really no wrong choices over there, especially to pair w a beer

    Sloppy Joe (not like you mama's!!)

    Top notch, authentic flavors and just dang good! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I like the polo, ropa or the sloppy Joe!

    Best Cuban sandwich ever!!!!

    Owner is amazing so sweet and the food is fantastic!!! Best Cuban food in OC by far. From the sandwiches to the sides like the potato balls and plantains everything was perfect! I will be going again very soon!

    I keep seeing them when we go to the Orange farmers market and have never had the opportunity to swing by. Until today... and glad we did!! They probably have the best potato balls I have ever tried. Way better than Porto's. My regret is that I didn't order more. Their chicken plate is so good, the sauce and beans were excellent! If you ever see them parked somewhere make sure you pass by and order more than one set of potato balls.

    Is this El Cubano Kitchen or El Rico?  Why did the owner change the name of the business?

    It was overly salted and not even real Cuban style. Owner is rude and not welcoming. AVOID.

    Pork in the cubano sandwich was very tasty. The bread wasnt buttered so it was missing that extra flavor. All in all very good.

The service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out pretty quickly. What really stood out to me was the price. For the quality of the food and the amount you get, the prices are excellent. It's getting harder to find places where you can sit down, get a good meal, and not feel like you overpaid. Great food, good service, excellent value. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend!

I came here with my friend last Sunday 8/16/26. for a late lunch. We were promptly greeted by staff and led to a table by the hostess. Our server came over after a few minutes and took our drink order which was a Pitcher of Sangria. Highly recommend it if you never had it before. My friend ordered the garlic chicken plate his favorite dish there while I decided on the saute Oxtail plate. It was my first time trying the Oxtail and it was delicious. The meat was tender and fell off the bone easily. The Oxtail was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. And came with side of black beans, white rice, and plantains. As we ate we notice that it started to get busier in the late afternoon early evening. I bet it's due to its reputation more than anything. Will return, highly recommend for cuban food.

    Or last night and Buena Park Anahiem area. What a find!!!!…read more We were so happy with this place. Service was amazing place was beautiful. We felt underdressed. Everybody was to the nines in their attire. The hostess was so friendly and welcoming. She sat us on a high table in the outside patio area. We didn't even have reservations but she still managed to make it happen. Our server was great (Migel) as well throughout the whole night he had about like maybe six or eight tables still managed to serve our table in an orderly manner, orders take drink orders and maintain it throughout the whole time we were there for dinner. Food here is so next level... The beautiful cuisine to match, so so delicious. Latin flare is alive and well here they had a live band from Miami. It was a cherry on top. It was PERFECT Definitely will be saving this place for future visits when in the area! Great food, service impeccable, and establishment clean, and well presented. Thanks for all make this place special. We enjoyed ourselves me and my family.thank you Migel for making it great.

The ceviche was a little sweet, which was different, but still really good. The empanadas were good too, we had the beef so next time i want to try a different protein I got the chicken sandwich. Pretty simple, but really good. The fires were good, i like the shoe string ones. My coworker got the habanero salmon and I tried some of hers. I was expecting it to be spicy, but it really wasn't. I don't have a high spice tolerance and it was fine for me. Service was okay, but the restaurant was clean and modern. Prices were pretty reasonable too, especially nowadays. Overall, good food, reasonable prices and for sure somewhere I'd go back to
