My dinner was flavorful ? The fish was fresh. My tostones were seasoned and cooked perfectly. I left this restaurant completely satisfied and woke up the next day excited to eat my leftovers.

Delicious food and excellent service. If you want big dishes with such a big smile, come to Cafe Cubano.
The pork was perfect, and they fried the plantains perfectly.
The staff was splendid and gave me great recommendations.

I never leave disappointed. Great service, great food, the ambience makes it even more special. The Karaoke on Friday, the live band on Saturday, forget about it. I'll be back soon. You'll love it. Oh and don't forget the flan de coco... Ayy mama. ?

We moved to Oak Park a little over a month ago and have been to this restaurant 5 or 6 times already (we started coming a few weeks before we moved). The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and gets our order right every time, and the atmosphere is very nice! We like to sit by the window so we can people watch while we enjoy the delicious food!

Food is good. Be aware 12% extra is added to items when using card.
Responding to Owner: I was charged $14.55 for a $13 item. When questioned, your cashier, confirmed the additional $1.55 (12% of $13) was due to using my card.
I have my receipt.

Terrible service and lack of communication. Despite calling ahead to confirm that they would allow our small, well-behaved 8lb dog, we were turned away after walking 20 minutes to the establishment. Misleading and unprofessional.

Music very loud. Picadillo was salty. Yuca was bland and hard. Rice was good beans needed flavor/spices. There won't be a second visit. It was expensive.

The food is authentic and tasty. The decor is colorful and Cuban, like a cafe. The service is attentive. They have Pargo, the red snapper for dinner that I enjoyed.

This place was pretty good! My wife and I have been by twice now. I was not aware they were located on North Ave prior, but I am sorry we missed out. This location is good looking with a modest amount of seating.
The steak and lechon jibaritos were amazing. The carna asada with shrimp was awesome as well. Yuca fries were excellent if you are a fan.
The ropa vieja had really good taste, but the texture was not my favorite style for that dish. That said, I left the plate clean lol.
Drinks were well made and great tasting. Both cafe and mixed.
Would definitely recommend passing by!
Parking: Parking along Oak Park Ave, but better luck with finding parking on North Blvd or the parking garage across the street accessed on North Blvd as well.

Excellent Cuban food and great service!
The new location in Oak Park is excellent! The food is outstanding traditional Cuban Food -local gem. Over the years, the owners have maintained and improved what the Dad started years ago. Great Job Javier & Mayra. Oak Park just got the top Cuban restaurant in Illinois.
Thank you!
