So, I finally went out for Cuban on Saturday. I’ve been craving it ever since I went to Florida and had some Cuban food for the first time there. It wasn’t the same here, but it was still good. I went to a hole-in-the-wall place in Tampa. Here in Chicago all the hole-in-the-wall places seemed to be closed down so I had to go to a trendy Cuban restaurant.
I ended up going to Café 28. Café 28 is at the corner of Irving Park and Ravenswood, not too far to where I go to church. The prices were typical Chicago prices, and the food had good proportions and tasted great. The restaurant’s ambiance was much like a little bistro and even had a nice patio. I got the sampler and the Cuban sandwich. The sampler had empanadas, croquetas, and mariquitas. It was a classy little starter. I got the starter because I wanted to try the croquetas which I enjoyed in Florida. The sampler came with three of everything. I was hoping for some fried plantains, but they did not have them on the menu. The Cuban sandwich was great as well. And for anyone that hasn’t had a chance to try Cuban food before I would recommend starting with that. I might try to find a little less classy place next time, but for anyone else I am sure this is an excellent place to eat.
