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!
