Nini's Deli

I went to Nini's with my best friend on Saturday the 23rd of July I believe. I had the kitchen sink sandwich, an iced coffee, and and the goat cheese and guava empanada. My friend had two chicken and one beef empanadas and a churro. After consuming my own food and trying all of my friends, I was thoroughly satisfied. I'm sitting here thinking to myself "would I go back there and order what I or he had again?" I think the real question is, why wouldn't I?!? I highly recommend Nini's for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Nini’s serves a truly amazing sandwich with the love of Christ. I couldn’t be happier with the service and product my brother Juan is giving the city of Chicago. He truly seeks to be the best at what he does in a humble, god-glorifying way. We need more establishments like Nini’s, that seek to love their neighbor with good food or product or whatever we may be doing. The empanadas, the kitchen sink, the hibiscus lemonade, the coffee…everything excellent.

Absolutely fantastic! Extremely accommodating service, all my questions were answered! Followed by a great story about Family! How the Deli got started. I had the signature sandwich. The kitchen sink. Just fantastic beautiful flavors sweet and spice! Especially try the green cucumber sauce. Wash it down with the Red hibiscus lemonade!

Nini's Deli was an awesome dining experience. Before I went there the day before I called to see if they could make a vegetarian sandwhich and the owner was super cool and said he would be able to make something special for me and my girlfriend and described what he would make over the phone which sounded delicious. When we arrived he remembered the phone call and the sandwhich was even more delicious than I expected. I had the cafe con leche which was strong but sweet. We also had fried plantains and the guava jam/goat cheese empanada. Everything was amazing, I highly recommend!!!

This place is amazing ! I was a little hesitant as I am not a big Cuban food fan. But they have converted me! Food was great. The empanandas were so tasty! The owners could not have been more friendly! They are steeped deep in their Christian faith and beliefs! I support EVERY they are doing. We live 40 mins away and we definitely will be going there again to support them!

This was my first time here and it was a great experience. Where do I begin. Let’s start by the look of this establishment. Very clean,comfy,and just an wholesome vibe. The menu is short and simple. I tried quite a few things today on the menu. The Kitchen Sink,the cheese empanada with guava jelly. Come on what a combination such a smooth empanadas. A order of churos and a lemonade. I highly recommend this place. The owner Juan was very helpful in explaining the menu and he even brought the food out to us. The food was presented very well and just made the experience just that much more enjoyable. I left with a full belly,a smile on my face,and satisfied that I have again found another local gem 💎 with Nina’s Deli. If you see this Juan thanks for a great dining experience and a proud new customer that will be promoted by me so everyone can have the great experience i had.

This place is absolutely fantastic! From the moment you walk in and until the time you leave, you feel welcomed! What really set this place apart was seeing the owner manning the cash register and taking orders and making each person that walked through feel like a priority. He was so friendly and has a wonderful personality. My wife and I especially appreciated the moment when we were considering taking our order to-go because there was no seating and he told us not to worry about it because if we ordered to dine in, they would make sure we were seated to eat. Not only is the customer service fantastic, but the food was AMAZING! I left there sad I didn’t have the appetite to try everything on the menu! We will definitely be coming back soon!

Juany's the man!!! On top of the amazing and friendly service, the food is probably one of the best in Chicago; it's a must if you're visiting from out of town. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. My personal favorites are their chicken empanadas, media noche, and an iced cafe con leche (but their hibiscus lemonade is just as good especially for the summer).
