Great food! Had the Pollo Fricasé! My favorite every time.
Enjoying the sunshine ☀️ at lunch today and sat on the patio on Armitage. I ordered La Completa with the upgraded Ropa Vieja and cup of soup - choosing the Sopa de Cherna (Grouper). La Completa comes with rice, beans, plantains, and the selected protein. I really enjoyed this platter. The beans and rice were well portioned and seasoned. The ropa vieja meets the renown that it is known for. The Sopa de Cherna was really tasty and I thought the cup was an excellent portion size when accompanied with the entree.
Mala comida de lo pero El lugar horrible El precio por las nubes de caro asi q no les recomiendo El lugar mas caro q El Centro se pasan
Overall Thoughts: This is a popular spot in Logan Square touted by Guy Fieri and famous for its Cubanos. I tried the Cubano and Media Noche sandwiches and though they were good, both were lacking in flavor compared to other Cubanos/Cuban food I’ve had elsewhere. The service was pretty slow, but I enjoyed the vibes of the space— the interior is adorned beautifully with ample murals/art. Overall, it’s a bit pricey— clocking in at $17-18 per sandwich with a side of fries or plantain chips, it’s definitely pricier than most other comparable Cuban restaurants in Chicago. Food I tried: - Cubano with Fries (4.2/5) and Media Noche with Plantain Chips (4/5): The Media Noche is basically the same as the Cubano except with soft sweet egg bread instead of traditional pressed french bread. However, I still preferred the crispiness of the Cubano’s original bread over the Media Noche’s soft one, which eventually got kind of too soft / soggy. The plantain chips were +$1 but I liked them a lot— they were crispy and flavorful. Overall, both sandwiches tasted good and I would order/eat them again in the future, but they could’ve used more mustard— they were a little dry overall / lacking sauce. — Price (relative to peers): 3.9/5 Food: 4.1/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 4.4/5 Overall Value: 4/5
