This was a refreshing and delightful twist on Cuban cuisine. I enjoyed very much the atmosphere, the music, the food, and the service was very good. I will definitely return to try other dishes.
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 am originally Cuban so I was really looking forward to eating here. My brother made reservations through Google and when we got there they told us that they didn't appear. The restaurant was quite full and the tables were not cozy or comfortable. The server was not friendly at all. We are seniors and soon we realized that we had to order and pay through our phones which I can do but found it completely impersonal. We found two Spanish beers we liked and then were told that they did not have them in stock. By this time I was frustrated and not relaxed at all so we got up and left the restaurant without ordering. The waitress sarcastically said "Have a nice day". It was my first time and definitely my last time there. Can't give you my opinion on the food because we didn't get to try it. When I go to a restaurant I want to relax, order, have the food brought to me by a nice server who can interact nicely with me but the vibe of this place was definitely not up my alley.

My finance and I visited Cubaneo for their first Supper Club. Cubaneo offers a vibrant taste of Cuba in every aspect. From the moment you step inside, the colorful decor and lively ambiance transport you to the streets of Havana. The attentive service ensures a delightful dining experience from start to finish.Begin your culinary journey with flavorful Chicken Empanadas and Croquetas, followed by a refreshing Avocado Salad. Then, indulge in the mouthwatering Guava BBQ Ribs and succulent Mango Shrimps, each dish bursting with authentic Cuban flavors.With its charming decor, impeccable service, and delectable cuisine, Cubaneo is a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable taste of the Caribbean in Lakeview.
This was such a cute place! How you order was pretty unique too. You just sit at an empty table, or spot, and order through a QR code. A server will bring your order right to you when it's ready. The one thing I did find frustrating was that there wasn't a good way to get a hold of a server if you needed anything additional. I wish they had a $0 - misc question as an option in the QR code menu, to continue to be hands off, or check in on the tables more often.

Cute interior- temp a little chilly. Food and cocktails were mostly delicious with the exception of the Empanadas and Arroz Con Pollo (chicken tasted really bad. We couldn’t eat this).

Been here 2x in 2 mths for birthday celebrations. Every appetizer & entreé has been excellent. Atmosphere is awesome , just wish they would make space a bit warmer, it’s cold in there.Service is great just needs a little more help, I think when it’s a packed night it’s too much for just 2 ladies, makes the check in tables minimal BUT they are wonderful!Vegetarian options: So remember seeing something saying vegetarian but can’t remember but there are appetizers that could make up to a mealDefinitely worth the try!
Booked a last minute reservation for Valentine’s Day and so glad we did! Every bite was bursting with fantastic textures and flavors from the fried plantains to the mango shrimp. Can’t wait to go back!

Terrible customer service. And don't use their website to order. They left it connected to Chow Now, so you can place an order and pay for it, but they won't get the order or honor it. Now we have to chase down our money. Not ok.

I've been here twice and feel like the cafe has a cozy vibe ✨ some of the cute tapas I ordered were extremely tasty but others too salty for my taste.I was here during our frigid cold snap on a Saturday at around 1pm and this place was extremely packed already so service wasn't the best. I eventually received a pitcher of water ? and you choose what you want via an app called toast instead of picking from a hard copy menu. You can keep the tab open after providing your full name and credit card ? information or you can pay in advance and tip in advance and then the staff here will prepare your food for you.First visit I chose the basket of garlic fries with aioli sauce to the side, chicken ? Empanadas which were extremely tasty and crisp and a little dish of cheese, rice and beans which were filling and good but way too salty for me. I also got a coke because I don't drink alcohol but they offer a very extensive variety of cuban cocktails here so if you love exotic drinks this is your place to enjoy good Cuban sandwiches and cocktails ?For my second visit I wanted to simply try their dulce de Leche iced coffee and a light pastry puff but unfortunately they were all out of the pastries so I picked a slice of chocolate sponge cake that came garnished with chocolate chips, cream and strawberries. The cake was extremely large and rich so I boxed it to take it home with me as i drank my coffee. Worth noting I was brought an incorrect coffee drink initially but the barrista was happy to change it. I'm not a huge fan of the strong coffee though either but you might love the expresso options they offer here.The manager also let me sample a tiny Churro here with Chocolate dipping sauce to the side which I did love very much. The dough is light and crispy and comes with homemade ? sauce.I would love to come back here again just to try their happy hour and see if any food items are discounted since I don't order cocktails.Atmosphere here is very cozy, and pretty with a long bench stacked with pillows along one side of restaurant and private, colorful tables that seat two to four people throughout the cafe.

I’ve mostly ordered takeout so this was my first time dining in. Very colorful and comfortable interior vibe. I ordered the Mojo Chicken and it was a great portion size and delicious flavors. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, love the amarillos (sweet plantains). The rice was a little bland, but I ate it with the sauces from the chicken so it was fine. Excited to go back and try something else!
