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
service
with
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
iffy
food
flavours
and
selection:
1.)
sandwiches
only
during
lunch
so
unsure
if
they
are
good
or
bad
2.)
no
desserts
(i
guess
unless
you
count
vanilla
ice
cream
as
one
🤷🏽♂️)
—
i
don’t
trust
a
Cuban
place
without
a
good
selection
of
desserts
tbh
3.)
no
cafecito
4.)
the
black
beans
had
no
flavour,
the
trifongo
(not
sure
if
adding
yuca
and
removing
pork
does
anything
positive
here)
was
too
dry,
and
the
mash
didn’t
do
much
for
me
5.)
small
selection
of
entrees
given
that
sandwiches
aren’t
available
for
dinner
(and
even
some
of
those
were
unavailable)
6.)
no
batidos
(Cuban
shakes)
7.)
another
Cuban
restaurant
that
insists
on
chipotle
mayo
🤷🏽♂️
8.)
the
mojito
was
pretty
unbalanced
on
the
other
hand,
the
croquetas
were
good,
and
the
empanadas
were
decent.
was
hoping
i
finally
found
a
good
Cuban
place
in
my
neighbourhood,
but
i’ll
just
have
to
continue
going
out
to
1492
in
Humboldt
to
satisfy
my
Cuban
food
needs.
i
assume,
seeing
the
reviews
here,
that
if
you
don’t
have
much
of
a
discerning
palette
for
Cuban
food
you
will
likely
enjoy
it.
so,
follow
your
heart
i
suppose.
