    I ate half I couldn't wait!!
    Michael M.

    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!

    El Cubano Kitchen -- A Little Taste of Cuba Right Here in the OC! If you haven't made your way to El Cubano Kitchen yet, stop what you're doing and go. This food truck is an absolute gem. I ordered the Picadillo Sloppy Joe -- ground beef simmered in a house-made tomato sauce with green olives, onions, and bell peppers on a soft Cuban roll -- and I am still thinking about it. Rich, layered, and deeply authentic. Every bite felt like a little piece of Cuban culinary tradition. The menu has something for everyone -- classic Cubano sandwiches, hearty Platos like Lechon and Ropa Vieja, appetizers like croquetas and tostones, and more. Impressive variety, all made with obvious care. This is not fast food. This is home cooking on wheels! The ambiance around this truck is something special -- it genuinely feels like you've been invited to someone's home for a homecooked meal. Vibrant tropical colors, hanging flower baskets, good energy all around. And the service is exceptional. Warm, friendly, and passionate. Luis's love for Cuban food and culture comes through in every interaction and ingredient. 10/10. Will be back again!

    Ropa Vieja Sandwich

    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?

    See all
