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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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!!

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.
