Everything you need to know about Tacos Los Amigos’ Cuban style pig roasts and more

Last week, we shared a video about a Cuban-style pig roast at a little food truck/pop up called Tacos Los Amigos.

Since then, questions started pouring in about the menu, other items they have, so let’s answer those questions in this blog.

The menu for Tacos Los Amigos can be found at the end of the blog. But for the Reader’s Digest version, they offer tacos with a whopping ten different protein options, burritos, quesadillas, and fajitas. That’s all from the Mexican cuisine side of the menu.

If you want to get a little fancy, there’s a Cuban cuisine menu as the owner hails from Cuba and wanted to bring a taste from home to Wichita, KS. The Cuban said has a torta, Cuban egg tortilla, and other dishes; some of which I’ve never had before.

During my first visit, which took place in the evening, I had the tacos along with the Cuban egg tortilla at the recommendation of the owner.

It’s a one-man show at Tacos Los Amigos on most days, and it took about 10–15 minutes for my food.

The omelet was fantastic. I’m not sure what kind of seasoning he put on there, but it was a savory and fairly salty dish. I won’t sit here and pretend to be some professor of food. I have no idea why it’s called a Cuban egg tortilla. What I do know is this would make for an excellent breakfast option if they were open in the morning.

Then there were the tacos. I ordered six tacos and, in hindsight, should have ordered less. At first glance, it looks like I ordered tortillas with a side of meat. These were the large size variety of tortillas and two was overkill. I ended up just eating this with one tortilla. They were decent tacos at best, a little on the salty side and could have used a bit more meat on the inside.

But the true star of Tacos Los Amigos is the Cuban style pig roast. Every Saturday morning, the owner starts roasting the pig at 6 a.m.

Six hours later, the pig is ready. Everything is sliced and diced and ready to go around 12-12:30 p.m.

People who stop by Tacos Los Amigos on Saturday can order the roasted pork with bread or there’s an option of the roasted pork with salad, yuca and congri (which is like beans and rice). Either option is $12.50.

I went with the platter of salad, yuca and congri. It was killer. You don’t get an option on the type of meat you get from the pig. All I know is he loaded up some of that skin on there, and it was heavenly… like freshly roasted bacon.

Everything was delicious. It was possibly one of the best meals I’ve had in recent memory.

And the cherry on top is the owner is a gem of a human being. He was such a nice guy to talk to.

At no point did I mention my blog or anything. Many people were pulling up, taking videos, chatting with the owner. He treated me, along with everyone else who stopped by to ask questions, with a ton of kindness. Tacos Los Amigos is definitely the type of local independent hard-working spot you want to love on.
