Reviews for Cuba 312 in Chicago, IL
Good Cuban food. I wish I had more rice and beans in proportion to the amount of meat on my plate. Can?t complain tho it was... delicious. Oh also would have loved more than two pieces of Maduros for my plate. Again it?s just my preference. I could haveordered more on the side. The night we went, we were seated outside- dog friendly patio is a plus. Unfortunately they only hadone waitress so service was a little slow but totally understanding. It?s rough for businesses to hire and retain people! Anywaywould visit this place again when I?m on the area :) Read more
The only thing good about this place is the drinks. They charge $6 for a tamale the size of a Mexican tamale when Cuban tamales... are way larger and cooked in plantain leaves, not corn husks. The menu online is not updated. They did not have congris, a Cubanstaple or boiled yuca al mojo. They are overpriced, food is not authentic Cuban, and they have limited options. If you want goodCuban food, go to D'Cuba. It is way better! Read more
We ordered Castro's last meal! It was pretty good! I loved the assortment they offered! We also tried their empanadas which were... quite tasty. Nice little restaurant to check out in Roscoe village. We will be back! Read more
no half-stars here, as i would place this one in the middle of a 5 point scale. unfortunately another in a very long list of... disappointing Cuban joints in Chicago (disclaimer: i am Cuban and i will concede that i am a very tough critic). iffy servicewith generally unhelpful and unfriendly staff (our specific waitress, the other seemed normal enough), iffy decor and ambience(the large Scarface mural should have been a warning, but at least much better than a Che Guevara mural), but worst of all iffyfood flavours and selection: 1.) sandwiches only during lunch so unsure if they are good or bad 2.) no desserts (i guessunless you count vanilla ice cream as one ???????????) ? i don?t trust a Cuban place without a good selection of dessertstbh 3.) no cafecito 4.) the black beans had no flavour, the trifongo (not sure if adding yuca and removing pork does anythingpositive here) was too dry, and the mash didn?t do much for me 5.) small selection of entrees given that sandwiches aren?tavailable for dinner (and even some of those were unavailable) 6.) no batidos (Cuban shakes) 7.) another Cuban restaurant thatinsists on chipotle mayo ??????????? 8.) the mojito was pretty unbalanced on the other hand, the croquetas were good, and theempanadas were decent. was hoping i finally found a good Cuban place in my neighbourhood, but i?ll just have to continue goingout to 1492 in Humboldt to satisfy my Cuban food needs. i assume, seeing the reviews here, that if you don?t have much of adiscerning palette for Cuban food you will likely enjoy it. so, follow your heart i suppose.
