Exceptional!!! Speechless. There is no word to describe how delicious the food is. Not only the food but the services. The owner came and spoke to us for a while! The waitress was terrific. Thank you. I will for sure come back with my family. We were a group of 10, and without a doubt, they took us in. Thank you

I WANT TO MARRY THAT GARLIC SAUCE!!!! let me tell you…they have this garlic aioli sauce that you can use on anything. I love garlic…so this was just amazing to me. I asked for the recipe but sadly…it’s a secret. Lol. The sandwiches are very filling. Filled with a fair amount of lettuce, tomato, meat and cheese. The coffee was HOT but very strong and very good. They give you cinnamon if you’d like to add some more flavor to it. the place fills up fairly quickly in the afternoon but it is worth the wait. The place is filled with beautiful paintings and images of Hispanic culture and the music is spot on as I love me some salsa while I’m eating. Please visit…it’s worth it!

THIS PLACE WAS SO GOOD! After a long day in the Loop, we decided to have some Cuban food near Humboldt Park. I ordered the 'sopa del dia' (Chicken soup) and the Cuban Sample Platter, and I was really, really impressed. First of all, I was expecting about half of the food I got. Everything in the sampler was great, but my favorites were the empanadas and the fried plantains. The soup was tasty too. For me, what puts this place over the top is the service. Everyone in the restaurant was very friendly, and they treated us like family the minute we walked in. I will definitely come back and have some of that DELICIOUS garlic sauce -- don't forget to ask for it!
