Stepping into Mexicuban isn't just a dining experience; it's a passport to culinary cross-pollination. This isn't your average taco spot--it's where the bold, tangy soul of Cuban cuisine meets the fresh, vibrant heart of Mexican street food. And the results? Nothing short of spectacular. While their menu is full of unexpected delights, the tacos are the undeniable stars of the show.The Perfect Blend of Mojo and MasaWhat sets Mexicuban apart is its fearless approach to fusion. Every taco is a masterclass in balance, utilizing scratch-made tortillas as the canvas for complex, slow-cooked flavors. You won't find tired, generic fillings here; instead, you get fillings deeply rooted in tradition, elevated by the opposing culture.The absolute must-try is the Lechón Asado Taco. It features pork that has been marinated for hours in a bright, tangy mojo (Cuban garlic-citrus sauce) before being slow-roasted until it practically melts. The kitchen then adds a genius counterpoint: a spicy, smoky salsa roja and a scattering of finely chopped, crunchy white onion and cilantro, finishing it with a squeeze of fresh lime. The result is a perfect textural symphony--tender, fatty pork against crisp toppings, and citrus brightness cutting through the savory richness.Beyond the Classic FillingsWhile the Lechón Asado is legendary, the variety keeps you coming back. The Ropa Vieja Taco, featuring shredded beef braised in tomatoes and bell peppers, is rich and savory, paired beautifully with a quick-pickled Cuban onion relish that adds a necessary crunch and tang. Even their vegetarian options, like the Sweet Plantain and Black Bean Taco, feel inventive, utilizing the starchy sweetness of the plantains to complement the earthy black beans, all tied together by a mild, creamy avocado crema.Each tortilla, clearly made by hand, has that beautiful, slightly chewy texture and corn flavor that defines an authentic taco. They hold up perfectly to the generous, juicy fillings without ever becoming soggy.Final Verdict: Go, Try, DevourMexicuban doesn't just make amazing tacos; they make tacos that tell a story--a story of two cultures meeting on a small, perfectly grilled corn vessel. If you are looking for a flavor adventure that delivers excitement and deep, comforting satisfaction in equal measure, look no further. Mexicuban's tacos are revolutionary and easily earn a spot among the best in the city. Just be warned: you won't be able to stop at one.Rating: 5/5 Stars read more

A food truck serving up delicious Cuban-Mexican fusion eats -- they stopped by Marymoor Park for the summer movie series, so stopped by to pick up a dinner on-the-go. The food was a little pricey and their menu a bit limited, but that was expected from a food truck at any event -- IMHO, it was totally worth it. The folks working the truck are so sweet and patient, and worked efficiently to get everyone their food! The food here is DELISH -- the veggie bowl was packed full of flavor and the sauces are so good. The fried plantains and caramel-filled churros were so yummy as well -- the plantains are a MUST! I wish that the brick-and-mortar location was closer to me because I'd be there ALL the time. I'll be on the lookout for when the truck is near me next! read more

First time getting takeout here. It's great, there's a little window and you can ring the doorbell. I ordered the cochinita fluffy tacos and a side of tostones. The pork was cooked perfectly but I will say that it was lacking in flavor. The maduro added to the taco was a great touch though. The sweet and savory combo is my favorite. Would definitely order from here again! read more

First the food is amazing. Flavors are spot on. That said it's PRICEY. Everything is about $22 for entrees. They won't give you chips like other Mexican places either so don't expect anything to snack on. Service isn't great either. We were seated then it took a while just to get water. Then a while more to get our order even placed. The place was not very busy either or it would have made sense. They had some animated show playing on one TV that was really bloody too. Weird choice for a restaurant and honestly not great for the area they were seating my son, myself and some other families. As much as I love the food here I'm not sure it's worth the price. read more

My friend has been wanting to try this place for some time so we finally went for her birthday. We ordered several appetizers plantains, empanadas and Yucca fries. All were so delicious I never had yucca fries before but the texture was amazingly crisp and the flavor with the aioli sauce was a perfect pairing. The plantains were plump and an excellent texture. The empanadas were cooked well and had a decent oil based sauce to accompany them. For dinner I had pineapple with rice. I wasn't really a fan. I wasn't sure how all those flavors were suppose to tie in together. The rice was somewhat bland the peppers I gave away the cakes on the side were really hard I wasn't sure what it was suppose to be and the shrimp was ok but was in a pineapple paste that didn't really stay on the shrimp. Together with the rice in one bite was just not it. I was pretty disappointed. However my friend got a steak salad that was sooooo good. Another friend got red and green sauce enchiladas which were also just ok. I think I would return. Although I didn't like every single item I did enjoy the dim ambiance the hibiscus juice was fire and the service was quick and friendly. Due to it being my friend's birthday they brought a basket of churros with camel dipping sauce. They were literally little bites of heaven. So all in all this place is cool but probably hit or miss on the menu items. read more

Love the cuban sandwich and yuca fries. I usually order at westlake square when truck comes few times a month. I love it but just it's very inconvenient take it to go because sauces that they have there doesn't have any lid. One time I came with my own small containers and put sauces there because I was arranging my husbands business lunch in our high-rise in downtown and took 4 sandwiches to go and sauces. read more

The food was sublime! Me and my sister got the Tostones, chicken Fluffy Taco, Roast Pork with yellow rice and roasted beef. Everything was delicious, the tacos needed salsa and the service was good but the service would have been excellent if they refilled our water regularly, and the absence of complimentary chips and salsa was dearly missed. At Azteca they offer bottomless chips and salsa. read more

After reading some of the reviews for this restaurant I can only think anyone rating this place less than 4 stars must have been having a bad day. We ordered the Jalapeno Pork Belly Toasts to start and they were amazing. Great presentation and fantastic flavor. We ordered the Cuban Sandwich and enchiladas for the main meal. The pork in the Cubano was seasoned to perfection. The enchiladas were good, but the toasts and cubano were far better. The mixed cocktails were fantastic and flavorful. The service was quick and super friendly. The restaurant is very clean with nice decor and upbeat music which leads to a great overall ambiance. I'll definitely be back. read more

Hit this food truck for dinner and it left me with mixed emotions. We ordered online instead of walking up to the truck window which may have been where we went wrong. The hubs ordered the Cubano sandwich ($15) and I ordered Cochinita fluffy tacos ($13), no cilantro + jalapeños (+$0.50). Grabbed the food and my tacos had plenty of cilantro and no jalapeños. I popped back out to the truck and they said they were out of Jalapeños. Not the end of the world but a little annoying because the up charge was paid. I sort of grumbled that under my breath and to their credit they offered me some churros which I declined. Nice effort on the save and I realized ordering in person would have prevented the issue. Not sure if it was due to the fact that I waited a few extra minutes to eat my tacos while jalapeño hunting but by the time I sat down to eat, the tacos were swimming in oil. Flavors were good but I needed a mile high stack of napkins! The sandwich got a "ok" vote from my husband and everyone liked the yucca fries. Warning if you have a little one, there is no ketchup. Pros Good flavors Yucca fries Fast Cons Heavy on the oil If you have a toddler ketchup junkie you will be SOL read more

I wanted to like this food truck more and they have a great concept but they need to check their seasoning. We ordered a Cuban sandwich and the stuffed potatoes. The sandwich is a good size, the pork was super tender but it needed something, ended up adding lots of red salsa. The yucca fries were good with the chipotle sauce, I think the sandwich could've benefited from that chipotle sauce. The stuffed potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft pillowy in the middle but were my biggest disappointment, the panko breading was perfection but the potato itself had no flavor and there wasn't enough filling to help the situation. I really hope they improve the flavors because it's a good concept and the employee helping us was really nice. read more

Food is good. If only they had better customer service and competent enough cooks that can actually get orders right. I've ordered through ubereats several times and they've messed up my order almost every time! So disappointing. I have even called the restaurant to ensure it's correct before the driver picks it up on several occasions. I spoke with a manager over the phone at one point and he even went as fast as lying stating he'd email me a gift card. This last time a different employee comped churros which was nice but they still didn't even get my order right! After I received order I reached out to inform them my order was incorrect yet again!! They never responded. They don't care enough to KEEP returning customers. They just want a fast buck. Complete bull! Beyond disappointed, Perhaps you get better service going in. I don't like being lied to tho either. read more

I have never been to their truck, but when MexiCuban opened a takeout window in a former Mexican restaurant in White Center (will they ever open the dining room?!), I knew I wanted to try it. I have had many things on the menu, but my primary order is always the Pineapple Shrimp Bowl (with extra shrimp). Juicy grilled shrimp with just the right amount of pineapple served over delicious Cuban rice, accented with some acid from pickled red onions and banana peppers. A couple of tostones are tucked in for good measure. There is something about this combo that compels me to scarf this dish down every time. I have to mention the fluffy tacos and the conchita sandwich, both yummy. If I really want to get my tostones on, I order the pork version, which seem to last me for a few days. read more

THIS place was everything plus more. I ordered the Cubano sandwich with yuca fries and men. I wish I would have ordered a second serving. Everything was fresh to order and delicious. The flavors were so savery I still can taste them as I'm typing my review. Unexplained gold mind. Definitely place I'd recommend and eat at again. 14/10 read more

We are in town from South Florida and were visiting a few breweries in the Ballard area. We ordered 3 bowls and a side of fried plantain. Our food was fast and delicious! Service was pleasant, professional and kind. Served hot, fresh and truly delicious! My bf had the cubano bowl and yucca fries were a nice addition. My daughter and I had cochinita pibil bowl. Wow! Flavorful, colorful, fresh, super tender pork. A large serving too. They had additional sauces available too and we tried a zesty aioli type sauce and a green salsa, ohhh perfection! Glad we stopped by, everyone should check them out! read more

Ordered from here the other day. Food was made quickly and was delicious. Daughter had the fluffy tacos and said they were very good. I had the Cuban - it was good but I've had better. Needless to say I ate the whole thing! I will definitely revisit this establishment. Give it a try! read more

Just tried this place for the first time at the U District Street Fair. Ordered the chicken fluffy tacos. Jesus, these were super good. They were $15 for two, so definitely a wee bit pricey for my blood. But they were so good, I think I'd order them again! I wish their brick & mortar was near me (I'm a good 30 mins -no traffic- away). I would definitely order here weekly! I'll have to check out where their truck is and pray I'm near it soon! read more

Tasty food! Quick Service! All what you would want from a food truck. Ordered the fluffy tacos with pork, the cubano sandwich and the pineapple shrimp. My favorite was the fluffy tacos since the texture was crisp and chewy at the same time and the fried plantain added a nice sweetness. Drenched in their green salsa, it was delicious. The pineapple shrimp was a good portion with big shrimps in a yummy yellow sauce. The cubano was tasty, but the bread sort of fell apart too easily trying to contain the goodness. If you see their vibrant truck in your neighborhood it definitely deserves a stop. read more

Tried this food truck and found it underwhelming. Food was cold and not value for money. The menu didn't show the pricing and got sticker shock after the order was placed. The sweet potato fries were cold, the sandwich was cold and greasy and the portions were small. For this price you can get good food in a restaurant with decent portion sizes. Not going back again read more

I love Mexican food. I love Cuban food. So, I figured this would be a fusion I can get behind. And it did not disappoint. I have tried the Cubano Bowl, the Platillo Cubano, the Cubano Fluffy Tacos, and the Cochinita Fluffy Tacos. The mojo flavors of their roast pork come through, which I also found to be very juicy and paired well with the fluffy tortillas, which most definitely is not Cuban...but is that Mexican? In any case, I actually really liked the unique fluffy corn tortillas (that are gluten-free BTW). While they did break apart easily after a couple bites, I found the texture to pair well with the flavorful contents. I would also come back for the bowls, as they are packed with awesome flavors and textures. And I am more of a fan of arroz con gris over arroz rojo. At the White Center location, they don't have any areas for you to sit down. So this is strictly to go. They have a window outside with a menu on an A-frame sign. I did ding MexiCuban over two issues: 1. When it comes to yuca fries I much prefer the kind that are thick julienne over the type available here, which appear to be mashed and then preformed into small corndog-like pieces and deep-fried. 2. This has been mentioned in other reviews. I found that when you arrive up to the window to order, the folks taking your order are very cheerful and nice. However, they can't ever seem to get orders right. So I find that it is best to order online. Overall, I recommend trying this place out. They are doing something deliciously different from the usual Mexican food fare available in White Center. Just be sure to order online! read more

Small but mighty! We've tried just about everything and I can honestly say it never fails to satisfy. My favorites are the bowls, because not only are they delicious but large enough to be dinner and tomorrow's lunch! Love the churros, they were added into our first order as a freebie and dammit, now I'm addicted. Can't speak to the ambiance - I believe they are still just takeout, but appear to be close to opening their dining space. Go for it. read more

I loved the food! I was hoping to dine in, but that appears to still not be available. Had I known that, I would have hit up a food truck of theirs that was closer and not waited on the sidewalk with a cold wind blowing on me. I ordered the tostones with pork. The balance of the dish was absolutely amazing! The soft, meaty pork with the crispy, sweet, salty tostone was a marriage made in heaven! Add in the chipotle aioli, salty cheese, and pico de gallo and it was a symphony in my mouth. I have to hit up a food truck and try the fluffy tacos; they look amazing. read more

I've lived in Seattle for about 4 full months and up until today all the food has been pretty okay and nothing too crazy. I just happened to be in the area where the truck was today so I ordered some tostones and Cuban sandwiches with yuca fries. It was one of the most delicious meals I've had in the area so far. I highly recommend it. I had my doubts about the tostones since I don't typically like plantains but they were seriously delicious. There's no pictures because the food looked too delicious and we couldn't resist digging in lol. read more

Had the garlic shrimp bowl. The flavors and freshness of ingredients were there. The black beans were great and not mushy. The rice was flavored just right and not too salty. All the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh. I tried their spiciest salsa on the side and it had flavor and heat. The only thing I would say about the shrimp is it was cooked perfectly, but it came with the whole shrimp shell. I had assumed it was already peeled and ready to eat so it wasn't ideal to peel all the shrimp while working with a lot of paperwork. Service and flavor were there. I'll definitely be back. I just unfortunately won't be getting the same bowl due to the shrimp. But that's just personal preference. read more

Grabbed some food here at a concert and it was great! Some items were better than others. The ones that really wowed us were the cubano and the pork tostones, both bursting with flavor. The plantains were good but nothing extraordinary, the chicken tacos were fine, and the yucca fries were the only disappointment (they were cold, which was likely the problem). Especially given the super high volume of orders they were handling at the concert, I was very impressed. I'll definitely be on the lookout to hit up this food truck at other locations. read more

Didn't realize this was just a window with no sit down service so that was a bummer. Food was good. We'll be going back to trying more selections. read more

When it's good it's good, when it's not it's not. I've ordered from here many times but have found that the food is highly inconsistent to the point where I am considering whether to order again. For instance, I normally order the cochinita pibil bowl with pork - "diabla" (spicy). Once the pork was almost all fat. Today I ordered the chicken version "diabla" and it came coated in a red enchilada like sauce (which isn't the case with the pork bowl). It was not very spicy and was lacking in the onions and cilantro which give a lot of flavor. It also had this weird burnt/smoky flavor in some bites. I had to add pico de gallo and guacamole to give the meal more flavor. I also ordered the maduros, which usually comes with a mayo sauce. No mayo sauce today. read more

Such delicious food! Their truck came to our neighborhood last month (and are doing again soon, yay!) and we loved it all. The cubano sandwiches were so, so good! Fried platanos are a personal favorite and they aced those. We also got a shrimp plate and fried yucca and the churros. All of it was really good. Highly recommend. read more

TLDR; There was a rock in my sandwich. Decided to try this truck today at the Saturday Farmers Market near Cornish and was highly disappointed. Got the Cubano Sandwich which is advertised with chipotle mayo, but it was missing from my order. I asked for it, and was told by the staff "No we don't have it". No explanation as to why it wasn't available. I wouldn't have even minded if they just told me they were sold out of it for today. But that's not a big deal right? So I continue to eat my sandwich, and about half way through it I'm chewing another bite and something crunches on my tooth. It felt like when you go to the beach and accidentally get sand in your mouth. Well I spit out my food and THERE WAS A ROCK IN IT. THERE WAS A ROCK IN THE BITE I CHEWED. A WHOLE 3 MILLIMETER SOLID GRANULE/ROCK/WHATEVER. At this point I'd given up on complaining and just chucked the sandwich. Oh and they charged $5 for a single water bottle. Don't come here if you value your time, money, and dental health :) read more

We recently had this food truck at work for an event. I was not impressed. I did the fluffy tacos because they only had three options sbd none of them looked great. There wasn't even 2 ounces of chicken on either taco. Hardly considered it a meal and no flavor. Only aye one full taco and the meat from the second one. No thank you. Options should be more abd add some flavor!!! read more

Honestly ordering was tough for me because I wanted to try everything! Now the pork on both the tacos and tostarones was so juicy. The pairing of pork and plantains on the puffy taco made such a pairing of salty with a touch of sweet. If you like a salty and sweet pairing I highly recommend it. I grabbed fried plantains they were a bit overdone but I didn't mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. They weren't drizzled in condensed milk but it's how I had it as a kid. The tostarones were thicker than I expected but there's a sauce that the drizzle under the pork which does make it different than the taco. I think the tacos shined more imo but I liked both. I'll go back to try other options for sure. read more
