Let me start by saying, as I entered the door, I noticed how nice and clean it looked. The staff were not welcoming, not rude. You're just another customer. I said " HI, my first time here. What's good? " his answer, everything. I asked, " How's the steak sandwich?" His answer a quick "ya its good." The food was really good. I would definitely recommend them.
Came on and ordered the Tripleta Sandwich. It was solid and quite big of a sandwich too with string shoe fries adding the extra crunch. Only thing I would like to add mayo or something on it. 8.5. Got two empanadas one beef was my favorite it was packed with meat and seasoned well. Put some garlic mayo on it to take this up a notch in terms of flavor. 8.9. Also got a shrimp empanadas it was good as well. Definitely on point and the flavor was hitting too. 8.2. Overall the spot is chill and has plenty of seating with Cuban music playing in the background to vibe too. 8.7

Ricky does not fail, the team works effectively with the orders and kitchen. Quality, consistently.
Opened Labor Day '22! They don't rest.
Opened the 4th of July '22, had to stop by.
High quality food and service. No exaggeration, the customer service here is an example for others to follow: respectful, attentive, quick, personable, welcoming... it adds to the flavor of the atmosphere with the smooth tropical sounds playing from the old school jukebox, the interior's design, and the unique front counter paying homage to the motherland (front end half/clip of a classic Cadillac reminiscent to those preserved back on the island).
Regularly visit, sometimes multiple in a week, for over a year, and have had no bad experiences yet, personally or through witnessing anyone else while in the establishment. I pick up my order worry free without having to verify contents before exit (plenty of napkins, just ask for the hot sauce). Place is always clean, and even though they keep busy, your accurate, warm, and fresh food is a phone call order away, with a realistic quote on prep time before it's ready for your pick up. plenty of space in their dining area for those who prefer (don't let the subtle exterior make you miss). Early open, late close (service window south of main entrance, towards small, side parking lot). Salud!
This place has the best Cuban Sandwich in Chicago, hands down! ✊🏽
I wasn't aware of this place, until last week when my Boyfriend took me here for a delicious chopped steak sandwich...Cuban style. 😋
I was so impressed. I look forward to having another one soon. 🤸🏽♂️
Hands down one of the best quality Cuban sandwich shops in the city! This is generally an order and go kind of place but they do have plenty of seating. Every time we stop here the sandwiches are consistently amazing. They don't skimp on any of the ingredients which is amazing for how cheap the sandwiches are. The empanadas are so so good and generally hot and ready to go. Don't forget to get a cup of cafe con leche.
They are quite busy and especially during the lunch hours. If you call and they don't pick up, try calling back in a few minutes or just walking in. They serve up food super fast and the service is over the top amazing. The hostess is so nice!
If you want some amazing Cuban sandwiches, this is your spot.
Had the steak and eggs sandwich,as well pictured below. Also got the Cafe Arabe (w.Cardamum). Yummie!
Sandwich had a great garlic spread with little shoestring chips inside. Very filling.
Coffee was still hot even after eating, and the cup is HUGE!
Very nice people. 😊
Haven't been here in a while. Got a steak sandwich and decided to eat in. It's a busy location, so traffic is a pain. Parked on the street to avoid waiting in the parking lot. The food was good. Lots of meat and good portion size. I wasn't a fan of the meat even though I got steak. Looked more like ground beef as to how much it was chopped up. The mayo was different, but it must be their own special blend. I'll probably come by and try something else. I'm not gonna knock off a star because I wasn't a fan. Lots of people come here for the steak sandwich. I will stop in and revisit again in the future.
I never know what to expect when I eat here, here’s why… I been coming here since long ago when it was the little stand in the parking lot and have since moved, tonight we were able to make the drive and we did because they close at 10…?! I thought that was odd considering they always closed early. We arrived and found out it’s just a take out window on the side of the building that was open late. They also don’t have an rice anymore and I was really looking forward to it. Overall my steak sandwich was just like I remembered it, delicious!!
Love going to this place for lunch or dinner! My favorite thing is for sure the Cubanito Steak Sandwich, but BE WARNED! It's super messy and will spill out your bread. They've also got some killer empanada that are worth grabbing.
Get the steak and egg sandwich and choose any of the coffee they offer.. you can not go wrong! I'm telling you this is one of the best Cuban restaurants in the city!!!
This place is the best where you can get really good Cuban sandwich. I love it! At my visit was very clean, the staff are very friendly, restroom was clean. I like how they got the chairs, like in Cuba. I can't wait to go and try other of their sandwich. I really love this place and the owner did a very good job!
Their Cubanito Steak was fantastic plus the tostones were huge and tasty. Have to try their empanadas look huge and tasty as well. I'm sure everything on the menu is delicious. Just need time to taste everything.
"UPDATE" came back again amazing. The service excellent, The food DELICIOUS! if they took the time to make a toilet paperHolder, you know they take pride in the service and food. Love the cafe con leche. Tried every sandwich none of them have disappointed. But the steak sandwich is the best in my opinion
Hands down my favorite place. They should know me by now. Steak sandwich with extra cheese and extra garlic mayo. ..hold the lettuce and tomato, ruins the sandwich. Never too many or no negatives about this place. 10 out of 10.
I came for the cafe con leche but stayed for the steak and eggs sandwich lol
Texturally this sandwich is everything a texture person such as myself would love.
Cafe con leche was the chefs kiss. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.
P.S. if you’re a trucker waiting at Newly Wed foods, I strongly recommend the walk to the corner to enjoy this place!
Great food and service. Sadly Chicago police ticketed us even though the parking sign clearly showed an arrow in front of us pointing toward the corner so we were in a "safe" parking area. So beware good old Crook County
I mean…. FOOK. My roommate has loved it in the past and ordered but I’ve never gone myself until today, I love it. Cute spot, close walk away, nice Cuban music playing which made me smile as I waited for my food, as the place smelled great. Staff was nice, polite. Food came quick, and gotta make sure you buy those extra Mayo’s they are worth it ;) as I’m walking back, I had read reviews about the coffee, I was so excited to try my “cafe con leche de coco” totally burnt the mouth a bit haha! But OMG, I stopped in my tracks, it’s perfect lol, and strong 🤌🏾🧡
My steak empanadas were a bit darker in color than I prefer but they were, delicious. Nothing else to say there, will definitely need to try others! The cubanito, chefs kiss, the bread wasn’t soggy, had a nice mayo amount, meat tasted good and was well seasoned. Fork was needed and expected :)
Thanks for the much needed everything to get my day going 🙏🏽🤌🏾 can’t wait to come back for more!
The best hangover food ever. Steak sandwich with da little fries is the go to. A couple empanadas and a coffee shake completes it. Can't wait to try other things too!
