Won't go back by luly727 on 10/30/2010 via Citysearch
Being Cuban and from Miami, I was excited to find this place. It was a quaint little hole in the wall. Empty when we got there. Decor was cute and charming. We ordered the Sampler Platter and 2 cuban sandwiches. Empanada was GREASY and…

good by linda B on 4/15/2008 via Insider Pages
The food here is very good and pretty inexpensive. I would advise calling ahead before you come because although you don't typically need reservations, the last time I tried to dine here, they were closed during hours that they should…

Awesome neighborhood place by jeselise on 3/1/2008 via Citysearch
We read the other reviews before going and weren't expecting much, so we were happily surprised by the food and the service! They could definitely use a busser or two, but we received average service...nothing to complain about, and it…

Never going back by bperellis on 1/19/2008 via Citysearch
Thought the food was decent, not good. Had the cubano sandwich and found it to be quite average. Highlight of the meal were the black beans. The service was atrocious, we had a rather large group (15 people), were given 3 menus for the…

Skip it -- there are better Restuarants of this Genre by mrjustice on 6/10/2007 via Citysearch
Wanted so much to like this place; close by to my new Ravenswood Condo; atmosphere looks appealing; and it's BYOB. But, alas, portions were small and uninspiring, sauce for my Tongue in Cuban Creole Sauce tasted like Dung; the black beans…

Inconsistent Menu, HORRID Service... by pjs2780 on 5/26/2007 via Citysearch
I live about 8 blocks east of Sabor a Cuba but had never been; so when a co-worker suggested a team dinner here, I was pretty excited. We had 6 p.m. reservations on a Friday and the place was already pretty busy; there was a steady stream…

Cubano de verda ( Truly Cuban ) by damianp on 11/9/2006 via Citysearch
Love the food here. The owner is quite the talker about Cuba, the yuca encebolla uhhh so good. Thats yuca with onion, and the ropa vieja (shredded meat) was sooo good with the typical white rice and black beans, Finished at the end with a…

The Smell of Homemade Cuban food will get you by moygrl on 7/3/2006 via Citysearch
Been to this place a couple of times. The food is very filling and fulfilling. A bit pricey but worth every penny. The Owner is very nice. Always friendly and welcoming. A great favorite is the Breaded Chicken with Black beans and…

great by EmilyDwarf on 5/31/2006 via Citysearch
i've been to sabor a cuba a handful of times, and i preferred it over more flashy cuban places. in the summer it has nice outdoor seating, it's byob, and the waitstaff is always perfectly nice. order the ropa viejo, it's great.

NEVER GO HERE!!! by ariannac11 on 4/25/2006 via Citysearch
The service here is horrible. We waited over 1 hour for appetizers while people who came in after us were served promptly. When we respectfully asked the waitress how much longer it would take for our dinner, she sent the owner over. …

SERVICE SUCKS by 182xox on 4/7/2005 via Citysearch
I've been to this restaurant several times. The food is excellent, probably the best in the city, but the service is always TERRIBLE. It's SOOO slow. My biggest issue is that the place is always EMPTY and the service still stinks. I…

HORRIBLE!! by bullish04 on 1/13/2005 via Citysearch
The food is okay...speaking from a Latin point of view but the service is HORRIBLE!! The waitress will ignore you, bring your beverages once you've finished you meal and oh yeah never check on you in between to see if you need anything!…

Traditional Cuban fare in a simple neighborhood atmosphere draws Ravenswood locals. by Contributor on 12/29/2004 via Citysearch
In Short
This two-room restaurant has a modest, homey interior with red tablecloths and a few photos of Cuba on the beige walls. The crowd is mixed and local, with plenty of Spanish speakers. Sandwiches and entrees stand out on…

Good food, but the worst service in Chi by eziring on 4/11/2003 via Citysearch
I've eaten there a few times now, because the food is good and I wanted to see if the service would improve. It hasn't. The waitstaff seems like they don't care about whether there are people in their restaurant or not. Each time I have…
