El Cochinito Reviews
I was brought here by a friend and walked away having had one of the best meals of my life. We had the chicken, pork, side orders of plantains and an appetizer of a dipping sauce that was similar to hummus.I was floored and the rich flavors of my pork, perfectly cooked, juicy and tender.

The portions are ridiculous! :)DEFINITELY...read full review
Delicious honestly one of the best places I've ever eaten, if you're in LA I highly recommend getting a
Really cute atmosphere of a hole in the wall type of restaurant but with some solid and good Cuban food and sides. I had the Cubano which was just a Cuban sandwich but ingredients were fresh and solid. I enjoyed my experience there. Would definitely be coming back

El Cochinito is a charming, family-friendly restaurant with a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere and solid Cuban food. The menu offers generous portions, with standout dishes including the chicken and pork. The interplay of flavors in each meal, such as the ropa vieja, is exceptional. Sides like rice, beans, plantains, and yuca complement each dish well. Don't miss the appetizer dipping sauce or the homemade rice pudding and flan for dessert. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with easy parking and a welcoming atmosphere.
