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.

I've heard good things about this place, today I decided to get a cubanito sandwich here and my bf got a steak cubanito.For the steak cubanito, it should be called beef cubanito.Let me tell you , they only put 4 pickles and light mustard in my sandwich. The sandwich is big so please add enough ingredients to make it enjoyable ,I just forced myself to eat it, and did not enjoy it.Thanks!

The place was recommended by a friend and let me tell you this food is so delicious! Had the Cubanito steak sandwich and it was life-changing. From the bread to the meat, it was crispy and delicious. The empanadas were great as well. Give this place a go. I'll be back many more times!Parking: Small lot next to the business. Or street parking.
Been coming here for the last 10 years . This place is straight gas the hot sauce is mouth watering , the service is amazing. The staff in general is amazing , if you rate this place under 4 star you must just be smoking crack , best sandwich spot in Chicago and the empanadas are to die for . The other day i was 2 dollars short ( because they were doing cash only ) and the cashier (who also been working there for at least 5 years) said i was good to go , i told him they need to get a Venmo tag or someshit so that people leave tip because shit they should , this is one of them neighborhood spots that not many people know , I'll be bringing my kids here and my kids kids here .
