    I love this food truck! My boyfriend and I have been here about 5 times and the food is always fresh and delicious. The fiesta bowl is amazing, love the chipotle aioli with it. The Cuban sandwich is also excellent. Friendly owners and fast service. I highly recommend trying Sweet Plantain!

    Oh wait I forgot to make a picture of the food and coffee... lol...This is the 2nd time that I visited them with my daughter. We drove from Saluda from a campground all the way to Arden just for their food (almost an hour...) Now go back to Hendersonville... That should tell you how how we admire their quality of food... The coffee is exceptionally good... we got the Cuban coffee.... The sweet plantains where made perfectly as well as the Cuban sandwichs.... Service is also wonderful I highly recommend them. 👌

    Finally some Cuban coffee close me! Delicious hot pressed sandwiches as well. I wish they were open slightly sooner, I’d be able to come more often. Can’t wait to come back though!

    This sandwich will change your life. You'll never look at a sandwich the same again. They'll all pale in comparison to this delicious Cuban masterpiece. Also the couple who run it are amazing and incredibly nice people. A local business worth supporting.

    So good!! I was born and raised in the FL Keys. Cuban food is my comfort food. This is the BEST Cuban food. There is so much love in this food. It is delicious. Highly recommend! Also, all compostable take-out packaging. 😍 My only complaint is that they are too far from my house! 😉

    Best Cuban sandwich I’ve had around here, honestly can’t think of another one that I’ve enjoyed as much. The fried plantains were so good, and everything came out super fast. Another plus is the incredibly friendly people working there! Will definitely be back.

    I had seen this spot for awhile, and been meaning to stop. Tuesday was the day. I needed a quick cold drink, and decided to visit. The Passion Fruit Juice sounded refreshing, but had added sugar, so I settled with Bottled Water. I tried the Sweet Plantains as a snack, and did not go wrong. They were delicious and cooked to perfection! Mishelle was extremely friendly and helpful in answering my questions and explaining menu offerings. She mentioned the upcoming week of special Sandwich offerings, so I will definitely be back! I want to try the Beef Cubano. The service really impressed me, and it was genuine with many smiles. That alone made me want to come back! I could tell they truly appreciated their customers! I also see their consciousness of the environment in packaging and even using wooden utensils. This is a family-owned business I will continue to recommend and patronize.

    Best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. And very friendly staff. Will be back.

    My photos don’t do it justice lol I love this place!!! The menu is simple but this is a great example of “less is more”. Absolutely delicious food, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, very generous portions. I had the café con leche, a mango juice, and jamoncito with yuca fries and my husband had a Cuban coffee, Medianoche con maduros and a juice as well - all of it was outstanding. I am one happy Latina! Jajaja. If you’re in the area make sure you try this place at least once! 10/10🧡💚❤️💜

    Excellent sandwich, delicious coffee, and such friendly people. I’m not sure why people are complaining about the price. It’s right in line with the cost of doing business these days. Thank goodness this place is close to my office. I’ll be a regular for sure.

    I haven’t had really great Cuban food since I was in Key West and this place definitely filled that void. Delicious cafe con leche and the plantains were cooked perfectly along with a delicious Cuban grilled cheese! Also, the gentleman that took my order was so friendly and polite. I will be back when I visit the area again.

    I have high expectations for sandwiches, and Cubans are one of my favorites. I can honestly say this is one of the best Cubans I've ever had. I placed an online order that ready when I arrived and stayed warm and fresh til I got it back home to eat it. Seemless online ordering website. Real hidden gem and excited to try the coffee next time.

    Authentic, limited menu to die for. Everything is delicious. Also perfect service. So good you just wished they were a full restaurant, but I wouldn’t get takeout anywhere else. Really great having a gem like this in the neighborhood. Makes me feel closer to Miami!

    Absolutely love this place! The only thing better than their food is their customer service. Everything I've had from here has been incredible, you can't go wrong. The Cuban sandwich, plantains, and yuca fries are all amazing. Will be back again and again.

    Possibly the best Cubano sandwich I’ve ever had. And the sweet plantains were awesome. The woman and man working the food truck were very friendly and welcoming… puts a smile on your face as the whole experience, from ordering to devouring the food, was beyond expectations!

  • 5/5 Aaron C. 1 year ago on Google
    OH MAN, THAT SANDWICH WAS SO GOOD! I had the El Gallo Sandwich that had a really nice toasted crust fit for a food critic, all the condiments and chicken complimented each other. Feeling a contrast between the Romain lettuce and the chicken with the chipotle aioli and pico de gallo, the cheese bringing it all together really worked, finally leaving it to the bread to have such a delicious savory flavor with the crust contrasting the meat and complimenting the lettuce, 10/10 would recommend!

    I had been dragging my feet getting here but I'm glad I finally did. The reviews were correct. Excellent cuban, the yucca fries were good and friendly service. Give them a try!

A friend of mine recommended this place and I was not disappointed the Cubano sandwich is to die for and the pastries is fantastic I the lady that took my order was super sweet and very helpful it was quick and delicious.
