First time trying Kiki's was at a farmer market tule event in La Mirada. I ordered a Cuban coffee (I think.. café cubano?) it was TINY and cost about $6. It was about the size of an espresso. I do think that is too expensive, however, it really was delicious and strong. It was a bit too sweet. Se pasaron con la azúcar, but it was tolerable. The flavor of the coffee was so good I kept drinking it. If it was less sweet, it would be perfect. I ordered the fried plantains and they were easily the best I've had. They were perfectly sweet, and perfectly cooked through. They had some caramelized sugar parts around the surface that was especially yummy. I also tried the ham croquets, and a lechón sandwich. The ham cróquets were also very small, but they packed great flavor and texture. They were satisfyingly cheesy, hammy, and crunchy. The lechón sandwich was very, very good. At first, when I opened the wrapping, I was disappointed because it looked so plain and dry. After my first bite, I thought, okay, it tastes good, but it is a little dry. Then I kept eating, and it started growing on me more and more until I realized I loved it. The seasoning on the pork was great. I actually ended up really appreciating it being just the shredded pork and bun. I added some of that hot sauce they have by the pick up window, and it was bomb bomb bomb. I'd say that their prices are up there. HOWEVER, I have been to other trucks (and other restaurants in general) that are also pricy, and they suck. This food is not that. This food is made with love. It's delicious. It's worth the cost. If the coffee wasn't so sweet, my whole experience would be 10/10. read more

Kiki's Cuban - Food truck at 4th of July event - Cuban Near Me - Whittier, California

The counter is inside The Grog Shop. Great choices! The Cuban was fantastic. Large piece of bread, great tasting meat. Lots of cheese and pickles. I got the potato balls too. The bread was sweet and the filling was just right. Order at the KiKi's counter and pay over at the Grog Shop counter. There are tables to sit at and eat inside. read more

Kiki's Cuban - Menu from KiKi's - Cuban Near Me - Whittier, California

Ordered: - Cuban Sandwich: 3/5 - lacking on flavor other than salty cured meat, bread was a little chewy - Yucca Fries: 1/5 - I thought I was eating fry shaped batter at first.... I've had yucca fries at other places, and they were nothing alike. Not convinced these are made with yucca.. as they don't taste or have the texture of yucca - Potato Balls: 2.5/5 - over fried; if you were expecting a Porto's potato ball, you'd be very disappointed. Very little meat to potato ratio & the meat was not well seasoned at all. Service: cashier was nice and friendly read more

Today was the first time I've tried Kiki's Cuban food, fast service and the staff very friendly and knowledgeable, the food was great! I had the pork lechon bowl, good size portions, very tasty, seasoned very well, tender and delicious, the plantains were very sweet. Did not disappoint. P.D: it was really good so couldn't wait to take a picture, maybe next time. read more

This review is for their location inside the Grog Shop liquor store in Whittier. Young lady employee was very friendly and explained it's a family owned business. Ordered their Cubano sandwich to go which cost $15. It was very delicious but kind of on the small side considering the price. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items. read more

We came to the Kiki's counter inside the Grog Liquor Store. read more

We noticed that not only do they have a food truck that comes regularly to the Saturday farmers market in La Mirada, but that they opened a location on Lambert and Colima, inside a liquor store. We enjoyed the food: the plantains and beef items, but we wished that they had chicken options, as we're not huge fans of pork. With that said, the service was very nice and is a friendly family business. They say that their menu items are all made fresh too, using family recipes. I hope to try their Media Noche sandwich and garlic aioli next time! read more

Got to try this food truck today at a little craft market. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and a side of plantains. I enjoyed both very much. The guy was very friendly and told us that they make the bread fresh daily and smoke their own meat. It was very tasty. I would definitely eat their stuff again should I cross their path. read more

Authentic Cuban sandwiches. Good flavor. Friendly service. Always on time. Ordered from here twice so far but will be back for more

Seriously the BOMBEST Cuban food around. I wish they had a restaurant but the trucks will do for now. Their ropa vieja with beans/rice are totally homemade and a must-try. Their media noche sandwich is my favorite and their yucca fries with the sauce is to die for. My family and I come to this food truck at least once a month. The service is also great. All they need is to serve mojitos read more

My gf and I tried Kiki's at the Los Alamitos Glow Market. We were really excited to get Cuban food. Unfortunately, nothing we ordered was good. It was mediocre. The lechón was exceptionally acidic without complimentary spices to balance the flavor. The frijoles negros were overcooked and bland. The rice was dry. Our Yucca Frita had the look and texture of soggy Burger King Chicken Fries (ironically, this was the only item that was sealed seasoned well). And our maduros were too green to be maduros in my opinion with a firm, unsweet flavor. Having DMed the business on IG, it's clear that they're stuck in their ways and don't care to improve. read more

Drove a long way to get to this food truck because we were craving Cuban food, and in my area we can't find anything worth waisting our calories on ir money. Truck was located outside of an apartment complex not easy to find from the Main Street when you are Not familiar with the surroundings. Food was good. Cubanos and media noche sándwiches were fresh and flavorful!! Side orders were the plátanos maduros, croquetas and papas rellenas (they were extremely small even for appetizers!) Hope you give them a try!! read more

Food was tasty BUT way too expensive. I enjoy Cuban cuisine and these people have it down but it's a walk up window charging prices of a sit down restaurant. read more

Amazing Cuban food. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I've never had authentic Cuban sandwich before. They also had an array of different authentic canned drinks from Cuba. The cashier was so interactive on describing the flavors. Definitely got me trying something other then a coke. The Cuban sandwich, and shredded beef sandwiches were delicious. I even went back for more stuffed potato balls. If I run into this truck again, I'm definitely trying the other items they have. I also recommend the green hot sauce on the food. It was more flavorful then spicy. Great atmosphere set up by the staff. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The guru found himself the other day food truck curious and discovered this one. This is just your basic no frills Cuban. A few sandwiches and a few bowls with some side options. They also have something called yucca fries which are fried yucca plant roots. It's very starchy almost like fried plantains. So if you're in to that you're good. The potato balls were somewhat bland and I would argue skip those. For the most part I would stick to one of their descent sandwiches. Nowhere near the best I've ever had but descent enough for me to give 4 stars. read more

Love Kiki's Cuban Food! I've eaten there at least 5 times and they don't disappoint! Not only is their food great but so is the service! I've been letting all my fellow Cuban friends and family know about them! read more

Not good service, overpriced. Food was kinda cold, and the guy took over 20 minutes to make my order while I was waiting in the heat.

The most skimp Cuban food. The flavor is kind of there, but the soul is not. If you think this is the great Cuban food, you've never had real Cuban. The feed you like family and leave you drooling for more. This is more like a gentrified version iykyk read more

The beef sandwich is the best thing I've ever had from a food truck! All the ingredients tasted so fresh, even the bread!

Kiki's Cuban food truck was brought in to cater lunch for the company I work for. The choices for lunch included a Cubano sandwich, Shredded beef sandwich, Pork bowl, shredded beef bowl, or a vegetarian bowl. Stood in line for 30 minutes waiting to order and when I arrived at the truck I asked for the shredded beef bowl and was told that they had run out the shredded beef. As I don't eat pork and the vegetarian bowl looked unappetizing, I didn't eat anything. I am surprised that for catering an event like this they can't plan well enough to not run out of a popular item half way through the event. read more

This food truck was parked at my apartment complex and wanted to give Cuban food a try. Since it was my first time trying it I decided to go with a Cubano and papa's rellenas (fried potato balls filled with ground beef) and sweet plantains for dessert. The owner was very nice and chatted with me while my food was being made. Everything was really tasty! The potato balls were delicious and the meat and potato melted together with every bite. The plantains were so complex in flavor and the sweet wasn't overpowering at all and had a lovely chew. The Cubano was very good as well. I saw Cuban espresso pictured on the side of the truck and the owner said they are made to order and that it took him awhile to get the ratio just right to be authentic and work in a food truck. I wanted to try it but didn't want to try an espresso with a reputation of being really strong at 6 pm on a Wednesday. Will definetly give that espresso a try next time I see them and get more of those potato balls and plantains! read more
