At Sweet Plantain Grill, we aim to offer the best quality food and the drive to excel! We are authentic about showing our visitors the best quality Latin cuisine.
Our Story
From Cuban Sandwiches to Cuban coffee, the inspiration for Sweet Plantain came from our desire to represent and unify the flavors and cultures of all Latin American countries. Plantains being staple food for many Latin Caribbean and Latin American countries, we found it appropriate to introduce ourselves to Asheville as Sweet Plantain.
Our Foundation
Our food is our foundation, it is how we share our culture and heritage. Our food artisans have mastered the art of handcrafting sandwiches by taking family recipes that have been passed down through generations, and using only the freshest, high-quality ingredients to marinade our meats, giving our sandwiches its unique and authentic flavor. No matter the palate, you will taste an explosion of flavors with every bite, and the special Sweet Plantain touch you won’t find anywhere else.
Sustainability
At Sweet Plantain, we are committed to providing a friendly service and authentic, delicious food made with love, but also being more environmentally conscious about our waste. As caretakers of the environment, we look for every opportunity to make positive changes, such as using compostable containers and eco-friendly utensils. This in turn will help create a cleaner future for everyone.
