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!

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!

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.

I'm not kidding when I say my mouth started watering the moment I sat down to write this review…read more I've never been a taco truck person, and I usually avoid the "taco guys" at parties because the meat often tastes cheap, fatty, and lacking flavor. So I was honestly skeptical. However, my 85-year-old mother was craving some good, authentic street tacos, so I turned to Yelp and decided to try this truck because of all the great reviews... and now I understand why they're so highly rated. The food was absolutely delicious. The carnitas tacos were out of this world. The meat was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. They added just the right amount of cilantro and onion, enough to complement the taco without overpowering the meat. Everything tasted fresh, and you could tell care went into the preparation. One thing I really appreciated was how they package the food for takeout. They actually place the tacos on plates and wrap them in plastic wrap, which keeps everything intact and warm. I live about 20 minutes away, and I will happily make that drive again without hesitation just for those carnitas tacos. My only regret is that I only ordered two! Also their green salsa is so tasty, I wish I could've dumped it all over my tacos but it was a little spicy for me (I can only tolerate a very mild spice level ‍) but wow was it delicious!

Life changing. Maybe I haven't had enough tacos in my life to determine what is a good taco but by…read moremy definition these were extraordinary tacos. I have nothing bad to say. There was seating outside the food truck, tacos came out hot and fresh in about 10 minutes, and each taco was $1.50-$2.50. I can't ask for anything better. My whole meal was only $5. My friends and I tried the pollo, quesabirria, and birria tacos and also got a carne asada plate. The birria is a 11/10 and I would go back to devour 10 more. The chicken was super flavorful and not dry at all so I loved that as well. I didn't really care for the salsa but my friend really liked their red salsa. I have no other words. I would a million percent come back. Ratings Everything 10/10

Me and my partner happened to be in the area getting our car get its regular tuneup and this taco…read morefood truck just happened to arrive so we decided to eat here. He ordered the Al pastor burrito and I ordered the Al pastor, asada, and pollo tacos as standard stapled food items. Wow were we pleasantly surprised!!! The beans inside the burrito were not refried, but is broken down though its softness and was not at all hard. I would say it had some elements of refried beans texture and uncooked beans, which was phenomenal. And there were flavors in each. The rice was seasoned well. Individual grains were not soggy and you can taste each individual grain without that mushiness. The salsa that was homemade provided that nice acidic touch to balance the heaviness from the burrito. It is a food truck so the parking lot is where you can enjoy it hot or take it home. Ambiance is very chill and plenty of parking spots for you to park for a short period of time. The service was very quick and fast! The workers there were also pleasant. We cannot wait to come back here!!!

Wow. Bravo's Tacos was worth the drive. My friend told me about this truck and that I needed to go…read moretry it. I finally made my way here. I arrived a little early. They weren't ready yet, but when I came back, I was the first customer there. I made sure to order the crispy tripe taco, an Asada taco, and an al pastor taco. The tripe taco was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The crispiness was insanely delicious. The textures were amazing. The handmade tortillas made it even better. I will 100% come back to this truck. I will make sure to recommend it to all my friends as well. This is one of the best taco experiences I've ever had.
