The bowl starts off with [white rice, black beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cantina-latina), [pulled pork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cubano), fried yuca croutons and mojo-grilled onions, all topped with a lime aioli drizzle. The bowl thus incorporates aspects of lechón asado, congrí and garlicky yuca, and is expected to be a hit amongst those who are familiar with Cuban cuisine or those who are new to it. The PINCHO Noche Buena Bowl will be on the menu from December 8 through January 4, 2025 and comes as part of the brand's continued embrace of the Latin culinary heritage in Miami.
