Lito's Kitchen — Restaurant in Garland

A sandwich place with real potential

Went in not knowing what to expect. Enjoyed the lowkey/not assuming but clean and well kept atmosphere. Small cozy shop vibes. Free moist sourdough bread samples. The cashier recommended the barbacoan melt and the Cuban. She said the barbacoan was the most popular but the workers get the Cuban for lunch. So naturally I got the Cuban. Bread was soft and first bite was impressive and chock full of flavor. Ham, carnitas, melted cheese, pickled red onions, mustard and mayo. I got mine without jalapeños because I couldn't do spice but I regret it a little bit because I feel like the jalapeños would have perfectly complimented and cut through the salt and fat. In the end the carnitas component was a little bit too salty and I was almost unable to finish the sandwich (it was also filling). But the quality was enough to excite me and make me want to come back to try the barbacoan melt and other sandwiches. Potential bumps it up to 5 stars.

Also got the mac and cheese and pineapple kale. The mac and cheese is definitely above average and I'd recommend to any mac and cheese fans. The pineapple kale is interesting. Neither flavor is too strong and it helps end the meal well after a rich meal. Definitely would recommend and...

Lito’s Kitchen is the perfect brunch and lunch spot to satisfy your midday hunger. I love how everything is made fresh and you feel like you’re actually eating something hearty and healthy that’s good for you too. The food tastes amazing. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.

I really enjoyed their avocado turkey sandwich, mac n cheese, Brussel sprouts, salmon bowl, and salads. Also they have season agua frescas: we tried both watermelon and hibiscus and both were perfection.

Can’t wait to go back and try their smoothies, homemade cookies and sweets, soups, and other sandwiches!

Excellent service as well, very friendly staff will help you navigate the menu. Order at the counter and they will bring you your food or you can pick up at the counter after. The place is a mid size restaurant but we had difficulty finding seats with how busy the place was. And there were constantly people coming in to pick up food and go. This is a real hidden find in Garland that you have to try that’s locally owned. Support small business and give them a try if you’re ever in the mood for something new...

This place is fresh and delicious. My only complaint is that I never know what I'm going to get when I order the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich. It is supposed to have roasted cauliflower and hummus with feta and some other stuff, truly wonderful. The second time I ordered they put roasted brussel sprouts instead of cauliflower and didn't mention it because they ran out of cauliflower.. Unfortunately, I can't stand brussel sprouts. This time, it had maybe 3 little cauliflower pieces and big chunks of zucchini (that's new) and the bread was a small piece of pita that was over stuffed and folded over. This sandwich usually comes on a piece of flat bread and it's big enough to cut in half like all the others. This pita bread was so difficult to eat and the bread was tough and thick because when you use pita, you are supposed to cut it in half and use the pocket of the pita. I do recommend this place, just make sure they have all the ingredients to properly make your order because they will just make it up as they go if you don't. The sides are amazing and...
