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!!!
