    Reviews With Photos - The Latin Pig Cuban Restaurant

    Yuca Frita
    Nicole F.

    This is a local, small restaurant in Plano. The owner, who I believe runs the restaurant mostly by himself, is super kind and friendly. We ordered our food at the front but he brings your food to your table. Overall I really liked the food! The lechon was very tender and easy to eat, and the cubano had a good amount of meat and flavor as well. My main complaint is that the brisket meat was a little tough, and the yucca fries chunks were a little large, but overall I enjoyed everything. The prices are a little higher, but I understand this is a local business. I also noticed a lot of people order to go, more than dine ins.

    First time here, and did take out. The ropa vieja was disappointing given others reviews about how authentically Cuban the food is here. I've eaten this dish at real deal Cuban restaurants from LA to NY, have made it myself. And this wasn't in the same ballpark. The flavor was so underwhelming that if I didn't know better, I would have guessed it was just shredded beef with the lightest Latin or even super lowkey TexMex seasoning. Very one note and lacking any depth of flavor. The beef, peppers and onions were well cooked, so there's that. The beans and rice with it were tasty and cooked well. The Madura - fried plantains - may have been good if eaten there but the styrofoam did them no favors. I was surprised by just how oily they were, could only eat one.

    I am back! 3 years ago, I was searching DFW Metro area for an authentic Cubano Sandwich! Google Maps brought me to The Latin Pig Cuban Cuisine in an older shopping center along Custer Road at Parker Road. Owners told me that they want to open a location along 380 Hwy / University Avenue. I hope they get it, so I can be 1st Customer! The owners, a married couple from Cuba, now in middle-age years, simply enjoy cooking the Cuban dishes that they ate when growing. Home-style cooking, home style authentic ingredients. Pro Tip: Latin Pig even makes their own pickles for their Cubano sandwich! Many restaurant chains have tried to add the Cuban Sandwich to their menu, but if they don't go old school style, they don't get sales. The Cubano features roasted pork with mellow spices, and thick slice of ham, pan-fried to get carmelization, on 1 side at least. The pickle juice, slice of provolone, and yellow mustard combine flavors for the release of the signature Cubano "one-of-a-kind" taste. The Latin Pig also serves plates you would find a Cuban family eating in their homes. Small, humble location, in a venerable shopping mall facing Custer Road. Small booths, a couple of tables, but they have built a big reputation! Hard to not give 5 stars, I know if they open up along Hwy 380, they will have a bigger place.

    So worth the 30 min drive from Dallas We decided to take a drive to Plano and while in the area we looked for Cuban food and boy we were happy to find this place and not disappointed at all. The guy inside was so helpful served us and made my coffee I ordered to go. Which by the way the coffee was perfect. Just like the food. We ordered the lechón plate, plátanos rellenos and a steak sandwich. The food was cooked with amazing flavor and we were so happy to finally find a Spanish, Cuban food place. We will be back and can't wait.

    We love this place! My fiance is from south Florida and this is where she goes when she wants a taste of home. She gets the same thing, I always order something different and have yet to be disappointed. The owner is always kind and a great conversation. Authentic setting with the music and decor

    The service here is spectacular, which is hard to find in a casual counter order establish. The owner was super kind, and patient while we waited for another member of our party (especially when things were busy the day before Father's Day). The restaurant was clean, and had a handful of tables for patrons. We ordered a couple of dishes to try, and both the vaca fritas and crispy chicharon were so good! We devoured every inch of that plate! We ordered a few dishes to try between us.

    Everything I put in my mouth always fantastic. The Pan Lechon Sandwich along with some au jus was sooooooo good and tender. I want to go back and try everything! Staff was very sweet.

    Nice stop for a Cuban fix. Flavors are good and the staff makes you feel like you're gonna have an experience.

    We met some friends here on a Saturday night. It is a little hole in the wall in a strip mall. But don't be fooled. The food is delicious. We started with the Tostones and Plantains for appetizers. They were fried perfectly. For the main dish, we shared at Cuban Sandwich, Biestec, and Beef Guisado. The place was pretty packed but the service was prompt. The food was delicious. The ambience is casual. We will return again.

    Question for Ana C: I really want to give you another try in your new location close to my work in Plano/Frisco SRT access road. Have you changed your white rice recipe since my last review in 2014?

    Hello Anthony, I asked my mother (Chef) about her recipe for the white rice. She remember's that we had some challenges in the early years. Call it growing pains. We are now happy with our product at this time. All I can do is to encourage you…

According to Sarah, this one won a Dallas award for best Cuban. - See photo. I have had more than a few Cuban sandwiches in my life, and this one is absolutely top tier. I found the spot on Yelp and we headed over right after a trip to the DMV. We definitely deserved a treat after that. We ordered two sandwiches to split, the shredded beef and the original Cuban. They offer several variations of Cubans..., including one with mortadella that I am already planning to try next time. I will admit, in the review photos the sandwiches might not look pressed or buttered enough. Trust the process. The bread was perfection. I am very particular about grilled sandwiches being truly grilled and fully heated through, and these ladies know exactly what they are doing. The original Cuban was perfectly balanced and a rock solid classic. The shredded beef was - (Meat prep courtesy of Sarah) a delightful surprise, slightly sweet and savory and incredibly flavorful and texture. Just really, really good. We also got a bag of plantain chips, and I respect that those are the only chips they offer. No generic bagged Lays here. Plantain chips or nothin' - I like it!!! There is also a display case full of beautiful baked treats made by Rita. After sandwiches at that level, there was no way we were leaving without dessert. We took three to go: a meringue filled with dulce de leche, which was a total sleeper hit, a guava and cheese pastry, and a dulce Napoleon. Every bite felt special. The inside is authentic and charming, though the tables are a bit tight. I cannot wait to go back.

I was trying to save room for the main course, but there was something so delicious about those unassuming little bites. They were warm, slightly crisp, and completely addictive. We came specifically for the lunch specials, and they did not disappoint. I had my eye on the Piccadilly, a flavorful mix of ground meat with spices, potatoes, and what I believe were raisins and olives. It comes with white rice and black beans, but you can have them mixed together, which is absolutely the way to go. The combination of savory and slightly sweet flavors was fantastic. My only small wish is that it came with a few more sweet plantains on the side. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich, which comes with a side. We chose fries and iced tea, and they generously brought us BOTH large iced teas. The sandwich itself was huge, easily big enough to take half home. It was perfectly grilled, warm, and melty. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the bread a bit smaller while keeping all that delicious filling. This place is also a great value. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out.

We had a reservation, which is recommended because the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night in May. We opted to sit on the patio because the weather was gorgeous. I am not sure if the patio is climate controlled in the summer or not. But on that night we were there, the weather was mild so it was very pleasant. They have happy hour on Saturdays so I started with an IPA on tap and the wife had a Prosecco, also for happy hour prices. This is a tapas restaurant so I will try to remember all that we had. Manchego cheese board: excellent. The crisps and jam were perfect with the cheese. Potato torilla: excellent. The flavors melded very well and it was very tasty. It's filling so keep that in mind. Ceviche de jalapeno: excellent. Not too spicy, the shrimp and seafood was fresh with no fishy smell. The plantains were cooked perfectly, not greasy. Brisket on crostini: excellent. Forget the name but they are a winner. Brisket is good quality and the flavors come together nicely. Chicken skewer: excellent. They smartly use chicken thighs so the meat is juicy and tender. Tuna tartare: good. It actually was my least favorite. The quality was very good but it did not have much flavor. I needed some heat, some acid, something to give it a kick. We were absolutely stuffed and did not try dessert. Our server Marcellus was excellent. Very helpful and pleasant throughout. He never disappeared for too long. Overall, we had a great meal and will undoubtedly return here again.

The food was excellent, and that's the reason I'm giving more than one star. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. Our waitress was inattentive throughout the meal. After our appetizers, she never cleared the table to make room for our main course. Other servers ended up bringing both our appetizers and our entrées because she was nowhere to be found. Eventually, the manager noticed our table was still cluttered and came over to clear it himself. I even had to ask him to find our waitress so we could get the check. The final frustration came with my child's meal. I ordered a kids' Coke, and the waitress told me it came in a can, so I said that was fine. When the bill arrived, I noticed I had been charged extra for the drink. When I questioned it, she explained that only fountain drinks are included with the kids' meal--not canned drinks. That information should have been explained when I placed the order so I could have made an informed choice. Instead, all I received was a quick "Oh, sorry." The food was truly delicious, but the poor service put a damper on what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. I hope the restaurant addresses these service issues because the kitchen is doing a great job.
