Cuban Restaurants near Berwyn, IL

“Came in today for the first time. Customer service was great. I ordered a steak sandwich, cafe con leche, and a pastelito. Everything tasted really good. I ordered to go and was in and out. The place is a little small so maybe for a sit down place it might be a little cramped but that's not a deal breaker for me. Definitely a must try if you are in the neighborhood!“

“I haven't had food with such sabor (flavor) in so long that wasn't cooked at home. Not salty at all. Great service. I'm definitely going back. Ordered the yuca rellenas, papa rellenas, Pollo encebollado, and the lechon. We were surprised with toasted French bread with homemade guava butter!!!!!“

“So good! We shared the pulled pork wrap with I believe Swiss cheese. Also the yucca fries and some spinach empanada. My aunt had a Cafe Con Leche also. Everything was so delicious service was good bathrooms were spotless environment atmosphere very cute and comfortable. Definitely will be back to try other things exclamation point to be honest I've had Cuban food before and I thought it was kind of bland but everything here was seasoned so well full of flavor!“

“I'm a frequent diner at Jibaritos y mas but my boyfriend wanted to try something new. We looked up a couple of places and this place came up. It had 4.6 stars so we decided to check them out, and we were so glad we did! I had the steak jibarito which lacked no flavor. The steak was marinated in mojo or vinegar I'm not sure but it was sooo good! My boyfriend had the steak sandwich and loved it as well. The service was awesome! The owners were very nice and talked to us while we ate. We tried their chips with HOMEMADE guava sauce made by Ana ?. Definitely a MUST TRY! I was not disappointed from the minute we walked in til we left. We will definitely be going back!“

“By far one of my fave spots in Chicago. Every time I’m there they’re exploring something new and delicious but are consistently true to their flavors and culture.This Cuban Filipino fusion rings true to its inspirations and never disappoints. This was our first time getting the 5 course tasting meal and every dish was amazing. Great flavors, textures, and as a couple that doesn’t drink a lot we loved the N/A drink pairing. We were definitely full by the end.Alfredo was an incredible server/host and was very attentive to our needs and creating a special environment for us. Would highly recommend for a good date night or to celebrate a happy occasion.Very intimate setting!Dietary restrictions: Good with my shellfish allergy. The substitutes were still incredible. Mushroom for lobster.Parking: Easy street parking. Def can find a spot within a block. Maybe harder at peak peak times.“

“Phenomenal catering for a big party! We hosted a party for 100 and ordered a couple of full trays of their scrumptious Signature Pressed Sandwiches (lechon - my fave, steak, Cubans, Cubanito Express, chicken Guava Q, veggies, caprese). The owner threw in some Puerto Rican rice, tons of fantastic condiments, and more. The food was a HUGE hit. I only wish I had ordered more because it was enjoyed so quickly and there were no leftovers!Vegetarian options: There are delicious vegetarian and vegan options including Vegana Bowl, pressed Sandwich or Jibarito (featuring Impossible "meat" and vegan cheese with vegan chipotle mayo and veggies), Caprese and Veggie pressed sandwiches and Jibarito sandwiches (using fried green plantains instead of bread).“

“This place is, hands down, the best Cuban restaurant in Chicago - and it's not even close. My husband and I visited Saturday for an early dinner. The place is clearly family run, and they have outstanding service. Our waitress was so incredibly sweet and attentive - it really felt like we were part of their family for the 90 minutes we were there. We had an empanada trio to start - the dough is outstanding - very flaky and buttery without feeling heavy or dense - ham and cheese was the highlight of those. My husband had the ropa vieja that he said was incredible - we almost had to roll him out of the place, he was so full. I had a breaded chicken breast that was perfectly executed and GIGANTIC. We both had the yellow rice as a side, which I highly recommend. The rice is cooked and seasoned to perfection, and loaded with crispy pieces of fried pork - really just perfectly executed rice. The prices are incredibly affordable and BYOB only adds to that. Nobody rushed us through the meal so we stayed for a moment to enjoy the cute place and the friendly people. This place feels like a warm hug.“

“Bia's is my go to place when nothing less than comforting will do! Nothing like a DELICIOUS well seasoned, cheesy, steak sandwich on any day will do people! And...a cafe con leche and pastelillo de guayaba will make your day. Service there is great. Happy faces and pride in their work is evident with each bite. Thanks Bia's!!!“

“I was hungry but was in a indecisive mood. Driving by el cubanito and knew this was what I wanted. I hit the walk up window because the main was closed (it was 830p). Got the steak sandwich and a drink. Definitely hit the spot, huge portion, the steak was falling off because it was piled on. They put the little french fries(chips) on it and it smacks. Definitely recommend this place. Make sure to get a fork because you will need it. This late i think its togo only options.“

“Service was attentive and kind, the food was phenomenal and you can tell the recipes are traditional. I met the owner of this restaurant in unlikely circumstances before my visit and the love he has for his restaurant translated when i got to experience dine in. the dining room is small but it allows for that mom and pop feel. Definitely try this place out and don't skip out on the Roja Vieja.“

“Just as delicious as the original Lazo’s, owned by the same wonderful family. The croquetas, sweet plantains and guacamole were exceptional. We missed Cuban food after moving here from Miami. This is the next best thing to Abuela’s cooking.“

“I usually order from this place via ubereats and besides the fact that their food is AMAZING, I want to take a moment to appreciate the safety precautions they take when it comes to food like adding stickers to the smoothies and bags to show if someone has tampered with it. I don’t see many places do that. I’m definitely a regular (even got my father in law hooked on this place). I will have to stop by in person next time.“

“Food is phenomenal, I try out different things each time. I love the beef, and shredded beef empanadas. Try out the breaded chicken sandwich, and the rice! The service is quick, everyone inside the business is moving. The inside of the restaurant is like an old school ambiance, it has a huge window in front that lets in tons of light so you can enjoy the morning with coffee and sick food. You won't feel nasty after eating either trust me it's worth it. Shoutout back of the yards, wish I had a pic but I'm going to go pick up some food soon so“

“They do not accept same-day table reservations - be aware.But you can call for an estimate on the current wait time. Ours was answered promptly - 2 people ahead of us so anywhere between 15 - 30 minute wait.1 large table is available upon arrival and we play immediately. We ate, had drinks & an all-around blast.I lost all night but will be back.This is one of the best pool halls in the city.“

“One of my favorite places in Logan square I go here all the time. Today I was feeling sick so I decided to Uber eats it rather than pick it up like I normally do. However my sandwich came in wrong, I called and they were so kind to personally deliver a new sandwich to my house. Literally the sweetest thing. Quality of food and customer care continue to be a 11/10 :)“

“We've been going to Marianaos since they were in a little shack on Milwaukee. The location may have changed but the delicious food and quality has not changed. There's a ton more menu options which is also very delicious. We take our out of town family here every time they visit. It's definitely a go to!“

“Islands Cafe was deeeee-lish and Asel, the woman who works there, was very nice, provided excellent customer service and is a really good cook! I got a chicken sandwich (that came with plantain chips and garlic oil) and a passion fruit tea with strawberry popping. O. M. G! Everything so good! My sandwich was one of the best pressed sandwich I've ever had! Asel toasted it perfectly. The chicken was cooked just right. Juicy and hot and cooked just the right amount. Cooked until done, but not overdone. All toppings were just the right amount too. The bubble tea was great as well. I can't wait to return to try their chicken with maduros, black beans and rice lunch special. Thank you Asel and Islands Cafe!“

“I picked-up lunch at Cubano Bros for the first time yesterday. The lady at the registration was very nice & also helpful! I ordered a Cubano, the guava & cheese pastry, & a Materva soda. The Cubano was very good - one of the better ones I've had, but I am no expert. The guava & cheese pastry was good but not the best I've had. The Materva was good, too, and the staff helped explain all the differences between the Cuban sodas. I'm skeptical of trying new places, but Cuban Bros did not disappoint.“

“The food was BOMB 10/10 my friends and I all ordered something different and it was all delicious!!! We unfortunately waited an hour and forty minutes to actually receive our food but we didn’t make a reservation and we also happened to go on one of the busiest days of the year according to the owner Alberto… AND they were short staffed. Totally understandable!! According to one of my friends who comes here often, the service is always fast so I won’t give a lower review because of that. The owner came to chat with us at our table for a while after we finished eating. Real nice guy!! Great vibes and good music. BYOB“

“The food is very delicious and the prices are low compared to the quality of the food and surroundings. In service, if a little more attention is needed, I am referring to the spirits of the waitresses, they need like life or having a red bull before starting to work, the rest is very excellent!“

“I had the ropa vieja and it was pretty good. First time trying the dish so I don't have a basis for comparison, but the meat was juicy and tender. The dish also came with a side of tostones, rice, and beans which were all good. Some of the friends I was with got other dishes and found the meat to be dry. The portion sizes also aren't very large relative to the price. Overall a pretty decent spot.“
