It is Food Truck Friday! This truck has a variety of choices at reasonable prices. There offer cuban, steak and fish sandwiches. I opted for the mofungo and pork dish. Mofungo is plantains with spices and it was very flavorful. It was served with a ketchup mayo sauce that was a little spicy and I also wanted hot sauce and they also had siracha. The fried pork was cut in large chunks that were tender and well seasoned with garlic and spices. The food was served promptly and staff was courteous. The serving was enough for two people. Enjoyed this meal!

Poor customer service...the girl who took my order couldn't bother to say hi or even call out the number when my food was ready. She instead yelled out "HERE" and set the food down and walked away with a miserable look on her face. The food was just as bad as her attitude. 2 crappy pieces of bread smeared with maybe 1 tbsp of Nutella at the most...and it was $10. Lol. The french fries were super soggy and "jiggly" in the words of my 10 year old daughter. Pretty hard to mess up french fries, but here we are. I would never spend money here again.

At this week's WineART Wednesdays at Downtown Lake Mary, the truck selection leaned heavily towards Cuban and Creole food, and while my party split up, I found myself gravitating towards the El Cubanito Subs truck. Maybe my mistake was that I didn't order a sub, because unlike many other reviewers here, I did not have a good experience.I wanted something filling but did not want to wait a long time, so I opted for a beef empanada and a side of cheese fries, thinking that these were premade items that just had to be cooked. While it ended up that they were, I still waited a good 10 minutes before I got my food. The beef empanada dough was flaky and fried until crisp on the outside, but the inside was full of grease; after just one bite and I was covered from hand to elbow in it. The cheese fries were very undercooked, but I had waited long enough to get them and did not want to go back to exchange them. My mom ordered a pork sub and seemed to enjoy it, and I did enjoy the sauce for the empanada and the cheese, as well.I most likely won't be returning to the El Cubanito Subs truck, as after my experience I don't know if I have enough faith that their subs are any better than the food I received last night.

I have always wanted to try a real Cuban sandwich. I usually get them at Publix but we have food trucks every week at our complex. I have now tried a "real' Cuban sandwich and was great. The ingredients tasted fresh. He uses pulled pork so it really is much better then Publix. I would definitely eat there again. It also was quick. Some of my co-workers had the steak sandwich and raved it about it. They also liked the fact that the ingredients are fresh. I hope they return.Once again El Cubanito was here at our work location. I had the Mahi Mahi Cuban. The Cuban bread is great, soft with a nice crunch. I also tried the Yuca fries which were a suggestion from my co-worker. They are great. The line for this truck was long so it took a little while to get our orders. It was worth the wait. Other co-workers had the fried pork and tostones. They all raved about that. I am sure they will return as the food is well worth it.

A few days ago I heard about this stand in the industrial area on Forsyth road between Colonial Drive and University. I went to check it out yesterday. El Cubanito food truck is owned and operated by a guy from Cuba, but surprisingly only being one guy he has a huge menu and many food options worth checking out. It's located in the dirt parking lot of an Wilson Auto Repair, look for the umbrella on the truck and the boat trailers all around the parking lot. Parking seems to be pretty random and no one seems to mind where you park in the lot. Often you have to stand up and eat at these food trucks but not here, he even has a tent covering the eating area. Luckily I got there when he wasn't busy and I was able to take a lot of photos and chat with him for a bit using a bit of my Spanglish and he his passable English, he's been open 6 months.One of my favorite things that people from PR and Cuba make is Lechon or Pernil which is roasted pork usually cooked with lots of garlic in a blood orange sauce. El Cubanito serves a Lechon Cuban sandwich and I almost ordered it but the Choripan sandwich($3.95) caught my eye. I asked him about it and he said it was real Cuban Chorizo which is different from the Mexican kind I'm used to, apparently it has a firmer texture and in this sandwich he had cut it up into curly strips and cooked it on his griddle. The sandwich itself was a little dry for my taste but you could easily alleviate that by putting some mustard on it or dipping it in his soup of the day. It came with my choice of cheese and potato sticks on it. To drink I had a super sweet can of Guava Nectar, he has other canned fruit drinks soda and water.Next I ordered some Platanos Maduros, the sweet fried plantains served at every Cuban restaurant. They were sweet and tender as expected. Although the menu described some desserts he was out of the Flan and the Cuban cupcake so this led me to explore the extensive menu a little more and ask him what Batitos were. Turns out they are the Cuban version of a milkshake or smoothie. They are made in a blender with a little milk and some frozen fruit. My options were Guava a few other tropical fruits but I ordered Passion Fruit(luckily I remembered the Spanish word for this, Parcha). It was real thick and tasty, while I was drinking it a couple groups of people showed up and ordered the Cuban Milkshakes as well.Overall a great experience and I hope to go back and explore the menu further especially the omelet sandwich which he has a picture of that looks amazing!He's open Mon-Sat 7am-7pm and also serves breakfast. Make sure you check out the pictures of the menu.2237 N Forsyth Rd Orlando, FL 32807-5351(305)305-7438

In the mood for a Cuban sandwich, I went through my mental rolodex of Cuban places I haven't been to yet. It was either Vegas Cafe or El Cubanito. Since this food truck was closer in proximity, El Cubanito it was.The fellow is the sole owner and cook of this quaint food truck. Like Chris R. said, for one person, he sure has an extensive menu! I ordered a Cuban and a Pastrami. I chatted with him to pass the time. He relocated from Miami and is Cuban through and through. Very cool. Once I received my sandwiches, I was eager to bust open the aluminum foil to release the aromas and dive in. First, the Cuban was outstanding! Your standard pork, sweet ham, swiss, pickles and mustard in between Cuban bread. What I thoroughly enjoyed was the chunks of roast pork. Some Cubans I've had looked like some sort of lunch meat pork. Not here. There's no question you're biting into a moist, roast of pork. I ate half and saved the rest for later.On to the next sandwich. Pastrami, lettuce, potato sticks, in between pressed Cuban bread. Simple, fresh, hot and delicious. A lighter alternative to the heavier Cuban. The Pastrami was moist and the charred outer crust of each slice was a treat. Quality Cuban street food for your tastebud's pleasure. With such an extensive menu, I'd like to go back and try some things I've never tasted before. I'd like to especially try the Cuban Milkshakes Chris R. mentioned.

El Cubanito Subs truck happened to be close to work yesterday and I decided to give it a try. It's always a novelty when something new comes around the area for lunch. However, the cuban sandwich and tostones I ordered were disappointing. I know I'm overly critical of latin food but that's only because I'm latin and have had the chance to try some great latin food. The cuban sandwich was pretty decently sized and priced at $10, which wasn't a bad value. However, it was way too greasy for a cuban sandwich. I felt like the quality of the bread, ham and pork was cheap. Four large tostones were priced at $6 and I found them to be cooked way too long in oil so they tasted too oily. They gave us a tiny cup of mayo-ketchup with the tostones, which was probably the best tasting thing in the whole meal. I'll give this food truck a pass if I see it again.

they say they are going to come to your business and then call the day of the event 30 minutes after they are supposed to arrive that they aren't showing. not trustworthy at all.

strongly don't recommend! Unreasonably timely and costly. too many food trucks at events to pay $25 for a Cuban sandwich and fries.
