OUR
STORY

I Love Pig is much more than a gastronomy business; it is the manifestation of our roots and the connection between cultures.

The idea originated when I was pregnant and craving an arepa. I realized there was no such place nearby in Flint, Michigan.

 

Thus, between my mother-in-law, who brought the seasoning, and me, with all the passion, I Love Pig was born.

 

From its humble beginnings, I Love Pig has grown thanks to the support of the vibrant Flint community. We are delighted to share our culture through gastronomy, cooking with love, and empowering ourselves with every "it's delicious" we hear from you.

 

Our arepas, made with fried corn dough, offer an explosion of flavors with fillings like pork, chicken, vegetables, chorizo, cheese and ham, black beans, and ground beef. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, arepas provide a unique gastronomic experience.

 

Originally from Cuba, my father-in-law has gifted us the recipe for the authentic Cuban sandwich, toasted with olive butter and filled with mozzarella cheese, pork, ham, mustard, and pickles. A delight that will change your perception of flavors.

 

And to top it off, Mama's famous sauce, a family recipe from my mother-in-law, consists of garlic and cilantro mayonnaise that bursts with flavors on your palate.

 

I Love Pig is the representation of my family and our traditions. Food brings us together, and as we sit down to dine together, these flavors turn into moments of happiness.

 

We invite you to share an unforgettable experience at our table.

 

With love,
