Masitas de Puerco are flavorful chunks of pork shoulder or loin marinated in mojo criollo (garlic, sour orange, cumin, oregano), then fried until golden and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy inside. A popular Cuban comfort dish, it originated in rural kitchens and is often served with congrí, yuca con mojo, and tostones. Unlike lechón asado, masitas are quicker to prepare and are a mainstay on Cuban restaurant menus and home gatherings alike.

Common variations include oven-roasted masitas, and masitas de puerco fritas con cebolla (served with sautéed onions).
