La Perla del Sur Cuban Food

Yeah so this place has delicious lechon and cuban sandwiches. The service is majorly friendly. I would recommend.

Best Cuban spot in Portland!! Generous portions, and everything was seasoned perfectly. Great prices too.

Ordered the vegan plate. I’ve eaten better food on an airplane. A bunch of bagged frozen vegetables on flavorless white rice. Absolutely terrible.

Wow I was not expecting the food to be this good! I got the #1 and #20 with pork. The #20 was my favorite and made me literally say MMMM. Located in a food truck park facing the street. Lots of different kinds of food trucks, about half of them were closed at 4pm on a Thursday

Oooh. This spot nails it. I grew up in LA with Cuban family friends, and this food is pretty close to the home cooked goodness you get at a big family party. Good portions and delicious. I've been going to the other Cuban places in Portland for years because I miss the flavor, but nothing's as good as Miami or LA. This is my new spot. Props for crisping the lechon asado, and getting the rice exactly right. Ropa vieja is the bomb. This place deserves to be the new standard up here. Prices sit between Cubo and Pambiche but this is much better than either of them and you can tell there's more care in the food.

I had ropa vieja and the meat was bad. Tasted like it should have been thrown out a couple days ago.

Huge portion and I threw almost all of it in the garbage because it was so bad. Now my stomach is upset, three hours later.

20 dollars for rotten meat.

We had a great meal with maduros, tostones with shredded pork sandwich, and cuban rice and pork. It was all tasty with authentically Cuban flavors. In terms of atmosphere, it''s at a food court which is really nice one with a good bar, and heat lamps but it's a food court, not a restaurant. It was very satisfying and we would go back any time for more.

First time trying a Cubano sandwich. Always regretted not getting on in Miami. But this place has a great one. Not sure if it is authentic but either way very tasty. Get some of their green sauce on the side. The combo is awesome. Try this place if you want a tasty sandwich.

I am Cuban and have very high expectations for flavor authenticity whenever I have Cuban food even though I live in Portland (lol). This right here is the best Cuban food I have had in the city, and I have tried them all. The vaca frita and maduros were exquisite. My new go to Cuban food cart.

On the website and also on the food cart it says that price of sandwich is 13.99$ but he charged me 15.99$. I am also extremely disappointed about the service and the food. Steak was chewy and basically the worst kind.
