The owners did a great job creating a more Latin feel like mom and pop restaurants in Miami. The food is still great they had a few different plates with more dinner style but the portions were great. Hope they can get fully back up but glad I can get tostada, Cuban coffee and food just like being at home. If you're near Reidsville, NC stop by. The town decorates for holidays too so there's selfie spots and places to walk off the yummy food.

I love yuca and I've never had yuca with rosemary & garlic oil but it was as delicious as I could imagine. They were oily of course because of the garlic oil but the flavor was great. I also had the beef empanadas and they were really good too. They're the perfect size & the breading tastes really fresh. I also loved the seasoning in the empanada. The dipping sauce paired perfectly with both the yuca and empanadas. My friend got a sandwich and I didn't try it but she really enjoyed it too. The service was good - food came out pretty quickly even though it was crowded! This is definitely a food truck I'll be on the lookout for again!

The Cubano was everything it should be. Made with golden bread pressed to perfection. Inside, the layers of roasted pork and ham were stacked. Made just right too. The melted Swiss cheese keeps it from falling apart. The pickles and mustard cut through the rich flavor by adding a slight tang. Every bite was comfort for the soul. I paired it with an NZ Pils from Joymongers and it was heaven. The beef empanadas were just as good. Inside, the seasoned beef was 100% flavorful. They weren't greasy and went well with the specialty sauce. Together, they made for a satisfying meal... it was enough to make me keep a lookout for their next Greensboro stop. Cheers!

They were genuinely interested to know how we liked everything and took all feedback to heart which we love to see. The food was exceptional. If you're looking for an authentic Cuban food experience these guys are the real deal. The sandwiches were huge - we had to eat them in two separate sittings. The plantains and chicken croquettes were great accompaniments to the sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised at their dessert empanadas. I could eat 10 of those and be happy. Something I'd definitely order again next time we eat from this truck. In all a great experience and we would recommend this food truck to everyone!

I ordered a pan con lechon (roast pork sandwich) and yuca frita (yuca fries). Both dishes were absolutely amazing. The sandwich was pressed perfectly so it had a nice crunch. The roast pork was very flavorful. The fries were crisp, warm, and very well seasoned. It took about 5 minutes from the time I ordered to get my food. Service was also great! The lady at the register was very sweet and offered alternative options for me to order when I originally wanted the Cuban sandwich but they couldn't do it without mayo or mustard. I highly recommend this food truck!

I ordered a virgin mojito, my husband had a Spanish beer, and both were yummy! The mojito was the prettiest one I've ever seen. For dinner, we had a Cuban Special sandwich and chicken Milanese. The portions are enormous, and even though we were very hungry we still couldn't finish it all. But we left room for an original flan and a cortadito (little espresso with milk and sugar). The flan was as good as my SIL's, which is amazing. The coffee was yum! Highly recommend for the vibe, food, and service.

I was especially interested in the Toasted Cuban Bread, the Authentic Cuban Sandwich, and the Pan Con Bistec, and tried them all over several visits, along with Chicharrones, Ceviche, plantains, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Ropa Vieja, Street Corn, and more. My experiences here were definitely a mixed bag with both the food and the service. On one visit the service would be fine, and on the next it would be awful. Time for food to arrive on the table varied greatly, even when the restaurant was not especially busy. The Cuban Sandwich is decent but it doesn't scream "South Florida". I was more impressed with the Pan Con Bistec, a better choice in my opinion, as is the Fried Chicken Sandwich especially with a side of sweet plantains or yucca fries. The Toasted Cuban Bread, the Street Corn, and the Ceviche were also pretty good choices, as are the Chicharroes. I did not care for the Ropa Vieja at all, nor the Cuban Deluxe Sandwich, too much going on, croquettes adversely effected both the taste and the texture if the Cuban! I was sorry to hear that the restaurant will close permanently on Aug 24th. The owners site a drop in business due to the downtown parking situation (which likely will only get worse with the coming changes), safety concerns by potential customers, as well as rising costs in almost all areas of operation. Winston will lose yet another solid, sit down restaurant, most likely to be replaced by another fast, casual spot with a trendy, funky menu.
