  • *Disclaimer* This was my first time eating Cuban food so I can't testify to the authenticity of Mimita's. First off, the restaurant itself. Meh. It's certainly not fancy. The decor is tacky. There was some wall repairs going on and chair rails missing from the walls and there was a certain musty smell to the place. But it's forgivable because it's not a chain and I doubt it ever gets busy and I would prefer a restaurant spend money on quality ingredients than decor. My husband had a Cuban a few weeks ago at the Cheesecake Factory and loved it, so began the quest of finding and eating a true Cuban sandwich. There aren't a ton of Cuban restaurants in the east valley so Mimitas was really the only choice. Hubby ordered the Cuban sandwich and I ordered the Pan con Lechon sandwich and we split the Papas de Rellanos as an appetizer. The appetizer sucked. It didn't taste fresh, had zero seasoning and was dry as could be. Not a good way to start the meal. I kept telling my husband it needed sauce, desperately. It didn't taste bad, it just didn't taste at all. Next came the sandwiches. My husband really enjoyed his Cubano. I had a bite and it was ok. Can you really mess up a Cuban sandwich? Seems difficult to do. My Pan de Lechon was just a shredded pork, grilled onion and mayo on a roll. Score points for the roll (seemed very fresh) and the pork (because it was lean and tender). The onions were scarce and I loooooove me some grilled onions. I don't think there's such thing as too many. This sandwich had maybe 5 little pieces of onion. Boooo! And the mayonnaise.... it had no business on the sandwich. It actually overwhelmed the flavors and there wasn't very much on it. But the rest of the sandwich was SO bland, that I couldn't taste much else. And the Yuca Fritas I had with my sandwich were not seasoned. Not even a pinch of salt on those puppies! And what do you dip them in? We were offered ketchup. I didn't want ketchup.... I wanted whatever sauce Cubans use! IF I went back, and that's a huge if.... I would possibly order the same sandwich minus the mayo and add extra onions. Maybe bring my own BBQ sauce? Is Cuban food supposed to be bland? Mimitas is. I think the search will have to continue for good Cuban food cause I didn't find it here.
