We went nuts and grabbed a little bit of everything for a to go order, oh man and did it deliver. Glad to know I’ve got a great cubano sandwich steps away from ohare! Will definitely be back. Don’t sleep on the guava cheese empanada

Que Bola Cuban Café (Des Plaines) just gets it — big Miami vibes, fun décor, and comfort food that hits the spot.
We tried a little bit of everything and honestly, there wasn’t a miss. The ropa vieja was super tender and flavorful with that slow-cooked, savory richness you want (and it paired perfectly with the rice/beans). The surf & turf was such a solid “treat yourself” plate — juicy steak with garlicky herb sauce plus shrimp on top… it...

Carry out, great options! The chicken guacamole sandwich and ropa vieja were awesome. Empanadas not okay but little too greasy, yuca and plantains were nice sides to try. This is a small restaurant and has a cute little space with tables and seats.
