I've seen this truck all around town but never gotten a chance to check them out. Saw them at Westlake Park in downtown recently and in I went to see how they were. A Cuban sandwich is one of my favorite sandwiches so I had to see what's up with their version. No much of a line when I walked up to the truck, I decided to get the "Cuban Sandwich" (they have a Seattle Cuban sandwich too which is different). It was pretty ok to me, it had all the standard items like mojo pork, ham, mustard, pickles and cheese, unfortunately not on Cuban bread and I would've like my sandwich pressed down a little more. The pork was ok to me, a little dry, not as flavorful as I hoped, but the hot dipping sauce helped a bit. The habanero hot sauce is pretty hot, it did make make my nose sweat a little, fortunately no sweat attack as I eat my lunch in public, because we all love that situation. Good sized sandwich, simple menu with about 5 sandwiches, about 4 bowls to choose from and a few side items to add to your meal, roughly about $10 or so for the menu items. Glad I finally checked them out, I would check some of their other sandwiches out if I see them around town again. read more

Got fried chicken sandwiches and also a Cuban pork to try. All portions were very generous even though someone else said they weren't. The fried chicken sandwich was actually too big for me to even finish. The flavor was good but simple. Actually reminded me of the batter in Ivars fish and chips. Good bun and lots of fries but they are pretty basic fries. The Cuban pork was very good just be aware the sauce has more heat than expected for Cuban but good flavor. The rice didn't hold up well for leftovers but it was our extra meal for trying. We will go back again. read more

The Snout & Co food truck is at the PI Building on Wednesdays, a great option to get Cuban food for lunch. Today, I got the Seattle Cuban sandwich. It was a really good sandwich, not messy to eat. The mojo pork was seasoned and cooked well. I loved the chimichurri mango sauce, it's a compliments the pork well. I will be back for the the BBQ Pork sandwich, I have heard good things about it. read more

Chicken tender sandwich was so good! The chicken was generous, hot, and crispy. The bread is delicious and the aioli and pickles are the perfect compliment. The sandwich also comes with a really good dipping sauce! I would 100% recommend. read more

Snout & Co. - Delicious chicken tender sandwich - Cuban Near Me

Snout & Co. has been on the streets for awhile. The first time I saw the truck was at the Mobile Food Rodeo at Interbay. It seems like a really long time ago. I have a lot of respect for trucks that have staying power, a strong fan base, and stick to the integrity of what they do. I remember a lot of long lines that day. I stood in a line for Snout that was about 50 people deep and that's a conservative estimate. One of the reasons I like food trucks is that it's an easily accessible way for me to try various kinds of food. That day, I tried the cuban bowl and I wasn't a fan. I want to be clear, I think the quality was all there - it just wasn't my thing. Suffice to say that I've seen Snout off and on since then. Lee and his staff are very friendly and personable. They have an interactive, as opposed to a passive online presence. As a frequent food trucker, that's something I appreciate. I can get food anywhere. Trucks need to dazzle me a bit. I'm not a big sandwich fan, which some of you already know. That means, when I have a sandwich, it has to be good. The cuban is a sandwich worth trying. The bread, the meat, oh, you had me at meat. Not all sandwiches are nice to look at but I enjoy Snout's presentation. I'm a big meat eater but I also eat other things. You can often find me eating vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free fare. I love living in Seattle for just this reason. Fast forward to the black bean burger. I'm not a black bean fan. At all. However, I had heard various testimonials from trusted sources and decided to jump in a few weeks ago. Wow! It's a hearty burger that is packed with flavor and will definitely fill you up. Thumbs up. read more

This review is long overdue! Snout & Co. is some of the best food I've ever had... although I love a good Cuban sandwich (and theirs is awesome) the fried chicken sandwich may be my favorite item on their menu. It's simple, hot, crispy, & delicious. My wife and I love the food here so much we asked them to cater our wedding, so we've had the chance to eat a bunch of their food: they knocked it out of the park. With their black bean burger and veggie bowls etc. they impressed the vegans and vegetarians in the crowd, and of course the rest of us were feasting on various meat dishes - straight from the truck. Lee was a pleasure to work with and treated us like royalty from the first day I emailed him. I would jump at the opportunity to have Snout and Co. at another event, and I plan to order a couple of those fried chicken sandwiches to pickup for lunch today read more

And my 800th goes to Snout! Attended the Mobile Chowdown VI event at West Seattle Junction over the weekend. While there were the usual suspects there all in one place, I wanted to try food trucks that I haven't visited before. And Snout & Co. was one of those that I had at the top of my list. I got to the event fairly early and lucked out as the line was Snout had not gotten ridiculously long yet. They had three choices for the event. A barbecue pork sandwich, a Cuban sandwich and picadillo. The first two did not seem to stick out to me very much as anything I could not find elsewhere, so I decided to go with the picadillo. Picadillo is a Cuban ground beef hash with tomatoes, bell peppers, olives and raisins on a bed of white rice. It also came with a fried plantain placed on top. It was a generous portion for $5. Enough food to be satisified, but left enough room to try other trucks. The picadillo is a fragrant melange, reminiscent of a chili-esque dish. Just a good and honest meal. Overall, I really liked this dish. It tasted familiar, yet somewhat exotic and new. Snout is still relatively new so they only have hours open on Monday and Tuesday in South Lake Union and Ballard currently. Here's hoping that they expand their hours and locations so I can try more of their menu! read more

Never been to this truck, or had a Cuban sandwich before, and I had high hopes for both! Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. I was the third in line when I showed up, then about three more people showed up after me. They tried to make all the Cubans at once, which was bad for me, because I had to wait longer for all of them to be made. The bread was good/high quality, and the concept of Cuban sandwich seemed to be solid. However, there were HUGE fat chunks in the ham (picture posted) which made it really nasty to eat. Once I hit the second chunk, I had to toss it. Better QC needed at this truck. This isn't even close to the likes of Where Ya At Matt's Po Boy sandwich which also parks by Amazon SLU (my work). If I ever go back (which isn't likely), I'll try the BBQ pulled pork to avoid ham fat chunks. Seriously ...those chunks have possibly tainted my Cuban sandwich eating for a while to come read more

Snout & Co. - nasty fat chunks in sandwich - Cuban Near Me

The truck is parked in Bellevue on Mondays! I like this place's Cuban sandwich better than Paseo's. (My disclaimer is that I have only been to Paseo once. I was not a fan of the wait. And I walked to Gas Work park to eat the sandwich so by then I can see how greasy it was.) I had the Seattle Cuban. It was perfectly pressed. The sides are crispy. The avocado yellow and green with the purpose onion just made the entire sandwich pleasing to the eye. The fact that it was sliced diagonally and placed in the paper container in opposite direction shows that this truck cares about the presentation of its food. Just looking at the sandwich made me really happy. You do eat with your eyes first! The Cuban was also not greasy (can't say the say the same thing about Paseo).The mojo pork was moist and flavorful. I have great admiration for places that gets its pork just right. Honestly, no sauce was needed. Overall, this was one amazing sandwich while worth the price and I can't wait to go back. read more

Snout & Co. - Seattle Cuban - Cuban Near Me

After going to the Mobile Food Rodeo and hearing that they beat out my favorite food truck, The Bistro Box, I had to give them a try. I headed to SLU and tried their Seattle Cuban Sandwich. Everything was very good. Their Seattle Cuban is a pressed sandwich with mojo pork, red onion relish and chimichurri mango sauce. Because the meat was thick and the bread was toasted, I wish their was more mango sauce as the sandwich ended up being a tad dry. I will say that I am one that likes my sandwiches with more sauce than less, so this might be perfect for some. I want to try them out again and go for their regular Cuban, or their black bean burger. I just figured to order the black bean burger the first time from a truck with a snout on the back...that'd be nonsense. Give them a try. Good ingredients, great taste...just need more of both. read more

I had 3 of their sandwiches and there were all solid. I think my favorite is the Seattle Cuban which comes with some mango based sauce. Their normal Cuban sandwich is good too but it was pretty straightforward. Their BBQ pork sandwich is good too. I cannot recall the two choices it comes with and both options are tasty. They are usually at the SLU Denny triangle area for lunch. They accept credit cards. Not the best tasting Cuban sandwich but it's healthier and leaner for sure. read more

I can thank my co-worker for eavesdropping on a conversation to learn about this place. We went there together the 1st time and ever since them, I've been sending him on these "if you fly, i'll buy" missions. We always get the Cuban bowl with the pork, black beans, rice, and these two amazing discs of deep-fried plantains. It is also served with this tangy dressing sauce that I pour all over the meat. There has always been a long line and it's a little on the spendy side, but the food is soooo yummy and I always feel like I've traveled miles away from the work cafeteria to eat my last, great meal. It's that good when I get there...or when it comes to me. read more

Solid Cubans. Collard greens are great, but my folks are from the South so it's weird to me (not at all in a bad way). But a little bit Seattle food - that's to say decent food, a little over priced. Staff is friendly and service was fast. I'd go again read more

In my last review I mentioned they offered Cuban food. Yesterday I visited and had the Cuban sandwich. I wasn't impressed with the Cuban sandwich since it wasn't really grilled. They loaded it with lots of ingredients but the taste was bland compared to the Cuban sandwiches I've enjoyed other places. The sandwich was also dry so I won't be back for that sandwich again but I will be back for the BBQ pork sandwich. The honey habanero sauce is worth having. Maybe I'll give them another chance on the Cuban food by trying the Seattle Cuban next time. read more

The Black Bean Burger was pretty damn good!

Their cuban sandwich (traditional) is fabulous. Their fried plantains pretty standard, but with an interesting sauce. This is a food truck I'll keep going back to. It's not cheap for lunch, but it's very tasty. read more

Previously Much Better I had tried these guys probably almost five years ago. I remember the sandwich being good but the portion small. With all the good reviews, I thought maybe now would be a good time to give them a second shot in Bellevue? Unfortunately, it was not a great re-visit experience. I am basing my review solely on one Sandwich, The Cuban, not to be confused with a proper Cubano. Here's what went wrong: - The bread was so wrong on this one. It tasted like a touch "french" roll from Safeway, in particular, one that had been left out for a few days. It was just so dry, and the mojo pork (normally juicy and tender) failed to counteract this. The ends of the bread were tougher than a stale crouton. - It had a weird bread to meat ratio, with the meat shoved to one side of the sandwich and about an inch of bread with no meat. - It was bland, though the habanero mango hot sauce WAS really good (the only thing keeping this from a one). It was missing that buttery crunch a proper Cubano would have, partially because they used the wrong bread. The meat was somehow both dry and squishy, like the remnants of pulled porked that is oversaturated in juice for too long. - The portion was still small, though I expected that. - Where's the mustard? Hey, maybe I'm just spoiled by the much better Cuban sandwiches out there in Seattle. If you're going solely based on that as a recommendation, maybe skip it. read more

When compared to many other Seattle cuban sandwiches Snout & Co. is in the low middle of the crowd. After all of the TV & Yelp hub-bub we were very excited to find a spot up there with Paseo (both locations). We will have to keep searching. The closest. to this level of perfection is Bunk Sandwiches in Portland. Keep trying, your ideas are good just not great yet. Proper ingredents, good preparation (the press), just not very full for he price. The Thursday location is quite a panic to find, but the owner was very helpful via the phone to locate the truck. The directions via electronic GPS sent us to Prospect St. & 5th , an upper Queen Anne Hill neighborhood, WTF. We will try it again, just not soon. read more

WOW the fried chicken tender sandwich is amazing!

These guys are on point with the magic they work. Their BBQ and Cuban dishes are on point.

I came here on lunch and ordered the Cuban bowl which consist of pulled pork, rice, black beans, and plantains. All were really good. They have their own mango salsa (my favorite part of the entire meal). The plantains could use a little more flavor but overall pretty good for the price! read more

Snout & Co. - Cuban Near Me

The cuban bowl is to die for! I absolutely love this place! I was pretty weary about trying food from a mobile cart outside of a car dealership but MAN, this is good stuff. The cuban bowl is my personal favorite, it has chunks of meat, rice and beans. It also comes with a pretty amazing spicy mango sauce. There isn't much to say about this place other than you should go have it because you WILL enjoy it. read more

Had a serendipitous encounter in Ballard with Snout while visiting Hilliard's Brewing Co for the first time. Our main goal was to tried the canned brews of Hilliard's, but I dare I say that Snout might have stole the show on this sunbeams-through-dark-clouds day. The black & red food truck featured a menu with Cuban influences and doused with pork, locally-grown ingredients, and overall unique and tasty options. I saw several items that I wanted to try, but I went with the Yelp suggestions of the BBB (No, not the Better Business Bureau. It was something way better for you: the Black Bean Burger!). The Black Bean Burger was served with another "B" (Blue Cheese). This was some slap-you-in-the-face goodness. What is food all about? o Texture. o Appearance. o Aroma. o Feeling. o Passion. o Love. (Ummm, ok, I'm straying from my point.) o TASTE. Yeah, taste is what it's all about, right?? With that, I have to say that this fair-sized sandwich packed a huge punch of flavor. I had another one of those rare close-your-eyes-with-enjoyment & curl-your-toes type of experience. I was with my brother and his wife, and I almost didn't want to share, but y'know---sharing is caring! (well, you only have to share a morsel for them to enjoy the sabor.) The flavor was the bees knees, but this sandwich was working on many levels. It's been a while since I've had a Midnight Cuban from Paseo, but I might have to say this Black Bean Burger is on Corey's Most Wanted. When you daydream about something, it's good, very good. read more

The Wife and I were (very) lucky enough to try some of the food from the soon to open Snout & Co during their soft opening. Don't let the name fool you, there is some great veggie and beef offerings to be had also! Yes, there is plenty of snout represented. The pork is marinated in mojo and cooked so that it is moist and tender. You will find it in dishes such as the Cuban Bowl over black beans and rice, a Cuban Sandwich and another sandwich named the Seattle Cuban. There is also a BBQ Pork Sandwich in homage to South Carolina. Not into pork? How about a Veggie Bowl with collard green, black beans and rice with plantains and a kick ass smoked tomatillo-coconut salsa? I kid you not! Snout & Co. also is making homemade Black Bean Burger. Just have them hold the cheese to make it vegan. Oh, and I promised you beef. Well, I fell in LOVE with Lee's Picadillo! This is a Cuban style hash made of ground beef, tomatoes, green olives, bell peppers and raisins. It is damn GOOD! Served over rice with plantains, it is the total meal deal. They will be at Shilshole on Sundays and Ballard Blossom on Tuesdays so Ballard is extremely lucky twice a week. read more

Was really looking forward to checking out Snout & Co. but was underwhelmed with the Cuban bowl - pork was surprisingly bland and dry. Tomatillo was flavorful and provided the primary flavor to the bowl. read more

First off, I may not be the most objective perspective because I am very partial to Caribbean and Cuban cuisine (my favorite Seattle restaurant is Paseo). That being said, this was probably the best food truck experience I've ever had. I chose the Cuban Bowl ($8.50). It was plentiful, the pork was succulent, well-marinated and seasoned to perfection. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Lucky for me, the truck is scheduled to be at the office every Thursday for lunch. I look forward to trying the entire menu. read more

So, I was in need of a quick lunch in between patients... I wanted a change from my usual go to spots within walking distance of my office. I had three people last Friday mention Snout & Co parked at Ballard Blossom Tuesdays... so, that was where I headed to for lunch today. I couldn't decide between the Cuban Bowl or the Picadillo. And, after picking the guy in the window's brain a bit, I chose the Picadillo! There was a guy ahead of me, so I thought I had some time before my order came out the window. I went next door to Sip & Ship to kill time. I walked back a few minutes later to find the guy in the window holding my order out the window for me to grab. Boy, was that bowl (5 stars just for using biodegradable material) HUGE! I couldn't wait to get it back to the office... As soon as I pulled the lid off, I was slapped in the face with the sweet smell of tomatoes, olives, raisins and ground beef! All the yumminess was piled on top of white rice. With each mouthful, my taste buds were singing!!! The Picadillo was so flavorful, and the crispy plantain on the side was a nice touch, too. They just recently stopped serving the Sunday lunch crowd outside Ballard Surf Shop (which is a shame because Paseo's isn't open on Sundays), but they are now serving the late night crowd on Ballard Ave Friday nights between 11pm and 2am! Nom Nom Nom to another stellar food truck in Seattle, one that graces the Ballard 'hood TWICE a week!!! read more

To preface the review, I need to disclose that 1) I'm a huge fan of pork and 2) I'm a huge fan of Cuban food. If you like neither of the aforementioned points, I recommend that you take some time to re-prioritize your life, then come back to this review. Snout & Co is my Friday staple when they're in SLU, and nothing else can substitute for it. The Seattle Cuban is a fantastic spin on the original Cuban sandwich by adding red onions and avocado to the already awesome combination of cheese, pork, pickle, and mojo sauce. The mojo sauce is one of the better sauces I've had; it's sweet from the sugar in the orange and the lime, but nicely balanced by the acidity of the two fruits and the slight bitterness of the garlic. There's a touch of heat to the mojo sauce that intensifies the experience. I did try the collard greens, which you might be able to tell I enjoy based off of my review of Pinky's BBQ, and these probably relegated Snout & Co. to the 4-star review. The greens weren't cut well and were missing the bitter green flavor complimented by the salty pork and the sweet onion. I know people are advised to avoid SLU during lunch time because of the lunch rush-madness, but Snout & Co. makes dealing with the insanity worth while. Come prepared to spend $10 on lunch. read more

I ordered the "Seattle Cuban" ($7), a pressed sandwich with mojo pork (garlic-citrus marinade), red onion relish, and chimichurri mango sauce. I also added a little of their house-made spicy mango-papaya sauce that Snout offers as a condiment for their dishes. I liked that each flavor was able to have its own identity; no one item overpowered the other. The juicy, tender pork worked well with the bite of the red onion relish and the sweetness of the mango chimichurri. A perfectly pressed sandwich here, with the bread having that amazing crunch on the outside and a soft inside. The hot mango-papaya sauce was wonderful and had a slight kick. It wasn't spicy at all for me, and next time I'd probably add more to my sandwich. For $7, it's a decent meal and a fairly successful sandwich, but I did expect more bold flavors here. Check out Snout's food for yourself, and perhaps you'll be a fan as well! read more

I'm not a black bean burger kind of gal, but the Snout & Co black bean veggie burger was phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, good sauce and toppings. Would definitely come back for another! read more

Cuban Sandwich is pretty bad ass. The bread is fresh and tasty which to me is a big deal to me. Everything in between the delicious bread was pure awesomeness. Visited them in SLU. I would be cool if they moved the menu higher and in the middle of the truck. Alot of folks in line were ducking and dodging to read the menu that was low and off to the left opposite of where the line started. read more

I was a cranky dieting bride the last time I left a review, who encountered the flustered new guy thanks to the lunch rush. Sorry guys! I'm still truly in love with your food. The Cuban sandwich does dances in my dreams. I love it when they have their Mac n cheese on special as a side. Such a perfect meal together. I was extremely pregnant 3 months ago and Lee (the owner) joked about eating some spicy cuban to get my labor going, sure enough I went into labor later that night haha. Coincidence? Hmm...not sure. A lil cuban spice never hurt anyone! Today, I returned after my 3 month hiatus and it was amazingly delicious, I had to stop myself from going back for more (Cuban Sammie and Cuban bowl FTW). I have to watch my mommy figure now! I appreciate how most of their items are compostable too. These guys are a stalking must on social media. read more

I am currently licking my lips after devouring what has to be the BEST veggie burger I've had in my LIFE. I had low expectations - their menu being primarily meat-based, and so many restaurants tend to underthink their veggie/vegan offerings. Not Snout & Co. The black bean burger is crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and chock full of vibrant flavors. The chimichurri was super classy and a nice bright contrast to the earthiness of the bean patty. Seriously, I wanted to eat another one right after finishing the first. Can't wait to go back. read more

I ate at their truck about a month ago. I got the chicken sandwich...I wasn't really paying attention when I ordered it, I was just hungry and truck was by my job. When I tell you this was the best chicken sandwich every....no lie. It had sliced apples and a spicy aioli that was delicious. read more

Snout & Co. - Cuban Near Me

Well, it's no paseos(which I love!), but they do make a good, less messy, different than paseos, cuban press. The tangy chimichurri mango sauce is a pretty excellent topper. The plantains are also a nice touch. The Saturday location (in Hillards) is killer. You basically get to enjoy your beer and food all in the comfort of the brewery itself. read more

Worth the trip. I like food trucks in general, but it can be hard for some to live up to their hype. Snout & Co exceeded expectations. I *love* pork, and while the Seattle Cuban is indeed very good, the black bean burger and veggie bowl (!) blew me away. They were that tasty. As someone who's trying to eat more veggies, this was a welcome discovery indeed. Extra bonus: the guy running the truck was super nice, even when some other customers were kinda douchey. read more

I ordered the Seattle Cuban. The pork in this sandwich is SO DRY! The chimichurri mango sauce on the sandwich is interesting and helps add much needed moisture but doesn't cut it. I also ordered a side of plantains which was also super dry and tasteless. I ate half of it and threw the other half away. Never going back. read more
