Keto friendliness
Adapting Cuban cuisine to keto primarily involves eliminating staple high-carb sides and focusing solely on protein.
Top ingredients
Roasted or stewed pork, beef, and chicken are excellent keto staples, often flavored with garlic, onion, and bell peppers.
Danger zones
Rice, beans, plantains (maduros, tostones), and yuca are omnipresent carb traps that accompany nearly every traditional dish.
Best for
Best for strict keto dieters who are comfortable ordering plain protein-only meals and explicitly rejecting all traditional high-carb sides.
