The Latin Pig Cuban Restaurant

Came during the week with my wife and son. We were unsure about the prices since it was a bit expensive and the portions aren't huge like you'd expect for a $20+ dollar plate but the food was so flavorful! You could tell that a lot of time and love went into making it and we left very satisfied! The man behind the counter was also very attentive and welcoming even when my wife had questions about how the food was prepared. Highly recommend, We'll be back!

9/10 The ambiance was set perfectly with pictures, paintings, and other Cuban elements. The food was delicious and was brought out very quickly, despite the restaurant being full of guests. The host was friendly, informative, and set a welcoming tone. We ordered the Cubano, which was perfectly balanced with the ideal amounts of each signature ingredient, Yucca Frita, which was carefully finished with flaky salt, Tostones Rellenos, which were served in a pair and the plantain cups were delicately flaky and carrying a rather large serving of tender delicious brisket, Guandules (yellow rice) which was cooked with pigeon peas and sofrito which gave it much more flavor than plain rice. I would reccomended all of the dishes, but the Cubano and the Tostones Rellenos stood out for sure. I doubt you could go wrong ordering anything here, though! We will definitely be back to try more dishes and leave room for desserts next time.

My friend says "you gotta try this place, it's in Plano". I'm thinking maybe not since he's had a few misses. He catches me one day for lunch and take the offer to try The Latin Pig. We pull up and from the outside I can see it's not a big place. This is starting to get exciting. We walk in and I like the look and feel of the place. I'm now starting to regret not coming here last time he offered. I watch as the staff brings out plates to other guests and I'm super impressed. I'm starting to have menu anxiety. Menu anxiety: when you see so much yummy stuff, you don't know what to order from the menu. The waiter is pretty fast on taking our drink orders and gets the back pretty fast. I'm so busy watching the food the other customers are eating that I didn't even look at the menu. My buddy Dan orders a Cubano sandwich and orders it Floridian style. Rather than deal with my menu anxiety, I order the same. He suggests we split a fry, I reluctantly agreed since I love fries and hate to share. The food is out pretty fast and sat in front of us with fries. I realize now it was a good decision to split a fry. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!! This food looks good!! I take my first bite. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!! This is not a sandwich, this is a SAMMICH!!! and a good SAMMICH at that!! LOL I'm eating my food contemplating my next visit and what I will order. So to break it down for you. The place looks also, it has a very Cuban feel to it. I've never been to cuba, but I've seen movies and have a good imagination. The service is A+, the feel is A+ and the food in incredible. It is their promise to consistently deliver quality dishes and awesome customer service, while dining in authentic Havana 1950's décor, and they deliver 100%. Bravo Latin Pig, I'm a new regular customer!

Love, love, love this place! Have been coming to this little neighborhood spot for over 10 years and the food is consistently delicious. Over the years, I have also taken friends and family and they always give it high marks. I highly recommend the Cubano Sandwich, Maduros Sweet Plantains, and Yuca Frita. Enjoy!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at The Latin Pig, Cuban Cuisine, and it was an incredible experience that transported me straight to Cuba! For starters, the Arroz Congri was perfectly seasoned, combining black beans and rice in a delightful harmony of flavors. The Arroz con Gandules was equally impressive, bursting with the rich, savory taste of pigeon peas that paired wonderfully with the tender rice. The main dishes were the stars of the show! The Ropa Vieja was stunning—slow-cooked beef with vibrant spices that practically melted in my mouth. The Picadillo offered a comforting blend of ground beef, olives, and spices. The Fried Plantain just how it’s supposed to be cooked, and for the sweet tooth the Coconut Flan and Vanilla Flan, creamy and sweet! And to top it off, the service, warm and welcoming! I could’ve given 50 stars if I could!!!

If you want delicious Cuban food, for amazing prices and fantastic service - this is the place. It makes sure I don’t miss my Miami Cuban food it is that good. 10000% recommend. $10-$20 will fill you up for hours.

it was too expensive for the type of service you walk up to a counter where you feel unwelcome. The small restaurant is dirty. this restaurant has a lot of potential because of food was great but now I wonder about the kitchen.. It would be nice if someone would welcome you and tell you to take a seat wherever you like.

Stopped in here for a bite after work and I’m glad I did! The owner was very kind and helpful. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Support local businesses!

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.

Walk in and dude walked right by me to greet the couple that came in after me. I left after he bypassed me a second time to tell them let him know when they were ready to order. Didn't feel welcome.

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.

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.

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.

This place is a stable for us. Moved to Plano recently and was excited to see Cuban food within a block of our home. The food is fresh, tastes amazing, and rivals Cuban food you can get in Miami.

The food here really hit the spot ! I loved the lechon asado paired with plantains. My boyfriend had the ropa vieja and it was *chefs kiss* These dishes taste super authentic and just make you feel warm inside. Pricing is great and super affordable, make sure you stop by for lunch!

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.

Here is the skinny. About as authentic tonCuban food as it gets without my mom cooking it. Everything from the Pan con Mantequilla, to tostones and the Vaca Frita. Did finish it off with some Flan. So my only Jab will be the flan. It was ok but unfortunately I was comparing it to my mom's. If you want something specifically off the menu call ahead or check online in case they ran out.

Years ago this was among the best Cuban food I've ever had. Today the food here is so disgustingly bad that they should be ashamed of themselves for serving it. Came here at 5pm on a Saturday and the place was completely empty, no customers, no employees. I stood around for a minute trying to figure out what we're supposed to do and a very rude and disinterested employee came out. They have no menu and make you find their online menu with your phone, but then you can't order with your phone. Very stupid and confusing. I ordered the sampler. 20 long minutes later, it was missing the plantains, had completely inedible pork, some chicken bones with no meat, a raw potato, a raw carrot, and some ground meat mixed with raw carrots and other raw vegetables. They actually managed to screw up 5 different things and put it on my plate. If I hadn't paid in advance, I would have walked out without paying. I ended up eating none of the garbage that they served me and instead left and went to eat someplace else. What a miserable, sad excuse this place has become.

Good food and great coffee! Will be coming back to this gem! This location has a more hole in the wall vibe. Less crowded which is always nice!

Love the food here, a bit expensive but feels authentic and it's delicious. Ropa vieja, lechon, fritanga are all really great.

The food continues to be outstanding. I had the steak with onions and it was very good. The overall service has gone down. Now you pay upfront at the counter and they deliver to your table. Their plastic forks and knifes are a real downer. Previously they had metal forks and knifes. I think this is a mistake. I felt like the cheap plastic fork was going to break at any moment. Also, they now serve their black beans in a 1 ounce plastic cup. This was really tacky. There are certain things you should not change. Beans were previously served along with the rice on the plate and not in some tiny 1 ounce plastic cup. The service experience was unimpressive. Why try to save a few bucks and end up upsetting the overall experience.

This hole in the wall Latin spot is a new favorite. The old fashioned ambiance, the friendly staff, and the exquisite food make me forget that I'm in Plano. It's a wonderful place, and while the extremely authentic menu may be hard for the average American to understand the staff are eager and happy to help or recommend. They were also very accommodating to my large group that was with me.

If you're from South America or you like the food from there, I definitely think that you will like the food here. Yes, it is a small spot, but some people might consider this to be a huge selling point because the noise level is minimal so you're able to have a conversation with someone without distractions! If you love chicken, try Pollo Guisado!

My husband had been craving a cuban sandwich and when I searched for cuban sandwich, this place came up! Amazingly delicious food! I had the rope vieja sandwich, my husband the cuban sandwich and the most delicious fried yucca!

Ordered Yuca fries and the Sandwich Cubano via UberEats delivery. I ordered extra pickles and I highly recommend doing that if you love pickles! This was such a fantastic meal! The sandwich was PERFECT and honestly I nearly inhaled it which meant my poor Yuca fries got cold. They were still pretty decent especially with the dipping sauce sent with them. But I think they'd be much better fresh so likely not a choice for delivery which is pretty typical for fries. But the sandwich! I am hooked. Looking forward to trying more of their dishes and treats!

I really love this place. The mofongo is so good! I really love the congri, so much so that I crave it on a regular basis.

Excellent service and the food is amazing! Very cute restaurant serving authentic and delicious Cuban cuisine. This is one of my favorite restaurants!!

I''ve ordered from here a number of times and ate at the restaurant for the first time recently. Finally getting around to reviewing. Bistec was very flavorful. Maduros were the right amount of seeet. I had the mofongo lechon (mashed plantains with garlic and other spices, pork, and some broth) which I've ordered many times. It was great. Excellently flavorful and not dry. The broth it came with was a great complement. Everything was cooked perfectly. Mofongo is my favorite PR dish and it's done well here- I highly recommend it. Service was super- very friendly, good advice, and attentive. I'll definitely be back and hopefully will update this with other items- assuming I can have the willpower to forego my favorite dish.

Their cuisine is delicious! Enjoyed every bite for sure. I wasn't too crazy about a couple of their sauces but their specialty Latin Pig sauce was more than delightful! it was my first time having a Cubano & couldn't wait for the first bite. didn't regret it one bit. very savory & the flavors were there. can't wait for next experience with them!

I come here for the coffee. Dark roast without the bitterness. I get the cafe con leche. It is always the same gentleman who works here. I believe he is the owner. The restaurant is decorated with Cuban art, photos, and music. It is a wonderful place.

The Latin pig is a delicious hidden gem. Tucked in a strip mall, you can't believe how scrumptious their Cuban Classics are!! The in house Hot sauce and mojito sauce made my tastebuds sing and the crunch and near greaselessness (for a pork product) of the Chicarrones were incredible. I've tried making Yuca Fritas myself at home and they are not nearly as good as the fluffy little pillows of yuca here. My Camarones Mofongo was the star. Garlicky bright,rich sauce on perfectly cooked shrimp,peppers and onions with mashed green plantains and yuca. A little sprinkle of chicharrones took it over the top. Great care was taken to perfect these dishes. It's a simple place, but the food speaks volumes on the soul and love of Cuban cuisine! I've eaten Mofongo and yuca as a kid in the kitchen of my neighbors and this took me back there. So many good feelings. Service was great and the restaurant was clean and nicely appointed with touches of Cuban decor. I will be back and can't wait to try more things!

I get up in Florida and this has been the BEST Cuban sandwich I have had since leaving! I felt at home and the food was to die for! The bread was so crispy and perfect! The mustard and pickles were just amazing! I can't express how amazing this place is!

I have loved this place for a long time, and didnt want to share the secret where it might get too busy lol! Amazing Latin food that hasn't disappointed yet. The Cuban sandwich and the beef piccadillo are two of my favorites! Amazing taste combinations are paired perfectly with a heirloom house made hot sauce. Please go support this amazing local business!!

The most authentic cuban food you can find in the Plano area. I ordered a cubano sandwich, and I tried really hard to eat it slowly, but dang, it was just awesome!!! If you are in the area and want to enjoy really good cuban food, this is the place. Highly recommended!

Food was good, poor service the guy at that took our order was so rude and unfriendly. It's a nice place, good food, bad service.

This place has great lunch specials and they serve it 7 days a week. I alternate between the Lechon and Pollo myself. They used to come with a plantain, but now I guess they don't. They are priced at $9.99 and are fairly reasonable for a quick bite for lunch. This place is a self order at the counter and then they deliver the food out to you. Their service is quick and the people here are friendly. I like the decor!

Great Cuban sandwich, yuca and pretty much everything there is excellent. The owners are class act and will go above and beyond your expectations. I will go there anytime I can.

Best Cuban sandwich I have ever tried, and I am from NY. Small hole in the wall restaurant, reminds me of those bodega's back home but the food is truly amazing.

Food was delicious. I could not get enough of my mofongo Chicharron ( mashed plantain with fried pork skin). The appetizer with fried yuca & pork was also amazing the red sauce was my favorite. Service was a little slow but they definety have a following the place was packed by the time we left. It is small inside so arrive early to grab a booth.

Yummy sandwich! I love the Cuban here! Definitely should order one. The flavors contrast well

Finally found an authentic Cuban sandwich! My husband is from south Florida and grew up having sandwiches in Little Havana, so we can certify that this is the real deal. Service was wonderful and the plantains were delicious also.

Service friendly, food amazing (best yuca fries I have ever had!!!). We will definitely be back when in the area!

They had a great Cuban sandwich probably one of the best around. Authentic taste and low-key restaurant.

I used to like this place a lot. We went in today for the first time in a long time. They now have no menus. Online on-line menus. Maybe this works for some people but looking at a good sized menu on a phone is a pain for me, and my wife can't use them at all. Plus they were out of the dishes I was looking forward to. Sadly we walked out. The lack of menus means my wife won't ever go here again.

Closest thing to Miami and Cuba in this area! Food is great. A bit pricey, but still worth it for the Cuban food experience.

We got here at 3:15 PM craving your delicious food only to be told the kitchen is closed. Whaaat? I checked twice before driving here what your hours are on Sunday. According to your website you are open until 8:30PM, according to Google you are open until 9:00PM. So, here we are, trying to support local business after the terrible year we had and you just turned us away. I am sorry to tell you we are not coming back.

Just visited this place with my husband. The employees were delightful. Extremely nice and helpful. The food was honestly amazing. All meats are tender and fall apart nicely. The flavor is immaculate. Just like all the other views. The Cuban sandwich was definitely amazing. I truly believe you could pick anything on the menu and not go wrong. Definitely try this place. We will be back

This place is delicious! I had the Cuban and was very tasty. I did notice they offered Cuban coffee so next time I'll be back for that.

Took me too long to try this place. I only began to experience the full delight of Cuban bakeries/cafes in college and was unaware of this gem for those sad earlier years. \\ cubano - this one's a classic - toasted/pressed just barely too hot to hold - i'm usually not a huge fan of those giant American pickles because of their texture, but these crisp thin-sliced pickles really define the sandwich - if the pickles define the sandwich, then the cheese really brings it all together - yum meat-bread-pickle ratio \\ cafe con leche - smooth cup of coffee + milk that no one had to pretend to like - made with espresso prepared the Cuban way--thicker and naturally sweeter (the menu explains it thoroughly) - rich aroma without any of the bitterness or acidity that i've learned to tolerate in other coffee (maybe i appreciate it but sometimes i'm not so sure) \\ guava + cream cheese pastry - so delicious. this pastry is also oh so classic, and the Latin Pig does it so well. - big enough to be shared... but i'd understand if you didn't feel like sharing. Overall, The Latin Pig does a great job of offering a refined slice of Cuban cuisine in Plano.

Best Mofongo in DFW area! The Latin Pig serves up the best Mofongo in the DFW area. Do not sleep on this place. We moved to Texas from Miami and have been on the hunt for a good Mofongo and this place is it. We had the Lechón con Mofongo, Carne Frita con Mofongo, chicharrones with tostones and the kids lechón plates with Gandules. Everything was fresh and so good. The Mongo was just right, not dry, generously stuffed with meat (of your choice), the tostones were extra crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the mojo garlic sauce and caldo were delicious. We left with happy hearts and bellies and will be back often...making the trek from Grapevine!

This year has been a crazy one for sure. I haven't been able to go to a restaurant inside since march. However I have been ordering food from everywhere to eat at home. Latin Pig in Plano is the perfect place for that. Obviously I may be biased because I love puerto rican food and they have a great selection of our main dishes there and they do a great job! My favorites there are: -Tostones con ajillo -arroz con gandules -pollo guisado -mofongo y carne frita -pastel de guayaba con queso -Café con leche -cubano sándwich This place is a tiny hole in a wall but its so worth it! I used to go with my friend to just have coffee and gauva pastries because they are delicious!! A must have. Also going there reminds me of home. It has that Caribbean latin flavor we have in the island. They have cuban food as well which is similar to Puerto Rican. The place doesn't have a lot of parking since its a small shopping area off custer but I've always managed to find one. I recommend calling first in case there's not a lot of tables available since it is small. Usually every time I've been there its been pretty full. I totally recommend giving this place a try especially if you've never had PR or cuban food before!!

Great Cuban food. The owner is very friendly. We ate in. No issues. I don't get Cuban food very often, so this was a treat. I had the Cuban pork with black rice. Really good.

Grew up eating Cuban food in South Florida and this place hit on all cylinders. We started off with the tostones/ fried pork chunks that were very tasty. Ordered extra of their homemade hot sauce and it was just the right amount of flavor. Would have preferred more than one rice option but it was very good and seasoned well. Portions are great was too full for dessert.

I enjoyed an authentic Cubano during my recent visit to Little Havana in Miami. A search for Cuban restaurants in Collin County revealed the Latin Pig, so I decided to give the place a try. As I entered the restaurant, I immediately noticed that except for a small group of patrons at the front, the place was vacant. At lunchtime. This should have raised a flag. After sitting at a table for some time, no server to be found, I stood at the counter for several minutes before someone finally showed up, no greeting, just took my order for the Cubano. An equally unfriendly server just set the plate on my table and walked away. The Cubano was loaded with mustard, overwhelming the otherwise tasteless sandwich. You'll neva see-a me no more!

I ordered the Cuban Sandwich. Made on French bread. It was absolutely horrible and service was worse. Won't be back !!!!
