As Chicago's temperatures drop, a hot sandwich from this Cuban restaurant will be much more appealing. Go for their very authentic and mouthwatering Cuban Sandwich. Read more

Being a regular since they were on Milwaukee Ave, here are some of my favorites: ox tail (entrées part), zacappa xo (plus all other rums, of course - this is the only bar rum I know of, in Chicago)

Get your night started with one of their special not-on-the-menu margs, which has a shot of coconut rum. As our host explained, "It will get you where you need to be."

Everything we had was great! The oxtails were awesome, the goat was tender and tasty. Red snapper was crispy but tender.

The old Cuban cocktail is lovely, and the Flavors of Cuba appetizer gives you a nice sampler of what's on the menu.

Request an extra side of garlic sauce, a chunky mojo de ajo that accompanies tostones (fried plantains) and is a dream condiment for allium devotees: Read more
