Small cafe with amazing breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Super friendly staff. Not a ton of seating inside but four of us huddled around a table meant for two and enjoyed every bite of our meals. Perfect breakfast on a chilly day!
Great food with awesome vegetarian options. Friendly fast service and nice casual atmosphere. Would highly recommend!
Tiny place so you won’t have room to dine in during lunch rush. They take about half an hour on average during the lunch hour when I order ahead on ritual. But the food is worth it imo. Jerk chicken, Ropa vieja, chipotle chicken - all delicious, well seasoned, good bread. Just great.
This was our wild card spot for lunch today while at work and we were all pleasantly surprised. Amazing vegan options weren't even advertised on Google maps, so I wanted to give a big shout out as the beyond impossible sandwich was wonderful! I was literally lamenting about my favorite pressed sandwiches and Cubano Fair and wishing there were vegan options (outside of my own kitchen) and low and behold, Cafecito delivered. I went with a non-vegan who ordered off the vegan menu as well as someone with dietary restrictions who found it easy to order a custom sandwich. We grabbed it to go because the eat in area is small and it was lunch time, but we will be back soon! The service was very kind and there were awesome soda and coffee options to go along with a great quick lunch.
This place is so good. I called 10 min ahead for a takeout order and the food was ready right when I got there. Chevito sandwich was a great balance of flavors, grilled nicely, and just the right amount of messy. Luckily though they thoughtfully included a few napkins. My only regret is that I didn’t also order hot sauce! Next time, I’ll definitely be back.
If you’re looking for some amazing sandwiches and customer service this is the place to go. When you walk in there are signs saying the best Cuban sandwiches in Chicago and I can vouch that this is a legitimate statement. In addition, Isabella was one of the nicest people I’ve met in the city, which made the experience that much better. I will be returning! I hope this place prospers and stays open. What a gem.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive quick bit then this place is perfect! I go here for a quick Cuban bite every time I’m in town. They have a good menu and are fast. Good flavor and lots of options. Always friendly.
A great little place practically hidden beneath the train tracks. The coffee was excellent and the Cuban sandwich was delicious. Prices were also very fair. Overall I don't see any negatives to this place.
This location gets very busy during lunch, but service is fast. The Palomilla sandwich had good flavor, would get again
Great food and coffee. The Cubano sandwich is delicious. The inside is tiny, you definitely don't want to eat there, its also right under the El, so noise is an issue too. Take your food to go
