Latin Bites Restaurant & Food Trucks

Latin bites food trucks visited us at our apartment complex. Such an amazing treat. Their loaded tostones with pernil was incredible. The pernil was cooked perfectly and beyond tender. Tostones were perfectly done as well. The chicken empanadas were extremely flavorful. I wish we ordered more!! Hoping they come back again!!

The Pasteles were delicious and authentic. Was very pleasantly surprised and pleased.

I had a desire for a classic Cuban sandwich... So I came here. The place seemed more like catering or take out. I wouldn't sit there. I ordered the Cubano for $19. And waited for 20 mins to get my sandwich. I thought good things take time, so that was fine. I get the sandwich and go back to my car. I knew as soon as I opened the sandwich that I was in trouble. Extremely hot! that means microwaved to death sandwich. Dry and incredibly salty pork. Inedible, horrible and just awful. For $19! Threw out the sandwich and promised to spread the word. There is no way the owner of this place would be proud serving this salty dry mess served at 1000 degrees. Either they make changes or this is just another disappointing place to cross off my list. Nope.

So they came out to our Lowes store today (1590) and the experience was nothing but GREAT! The gentleman serving is a sweet, efficient delightful individual to experience. So I had the Pernil Platter ( Roasted Pork Platter). Comes with Arroz with Gandules (Pigeon pea rice) with Maduros (Sweet Plantains). The serving is a big portion. This plate cost me $19. Thank you for great eats. Thank you for great customer service. Keep feeding America with great Puerto-Rican/Cuban food.

So their food truck was on JBMDL today and was curious of it… it did not disappoint. Had the “ Big Papi” Cubano and that sandwich hit the spot! Tender pork, crunchy bread, melty cheese, this sandwich was one of the best Cubanos I’ve had in a long time. Wish they were closer to my hotel so I could try other things as well. Highly recommend trying if you’re in Jersey. The $18 for it was worth every penny!!!
