Chicago-restaurant-reviews-Cafe28

This expanded triple storefront restaurant is friendly and inviting. The menu is Cuban with a few Mexican touches. Mango margaritas and mojitos are the drinks of choice although there is a nice selection of wines by the glass or bottle. On one visit, we shared a ceviche of shrimp and halibut and the tostones, fried plantain. For an entree, I had the pistachio crusted chicken breast on garlic mashed potatoes. We shared the Kahlua creme brulee and the flan. Both were delicious. Another enree that I enjoyed was the honey jalapeno pork chops. I could only eat one of the two chops. Previously, we shared several appetizers among a group. We had the ceviche, the spinach quesadilla, which was more like a wrap, and the warm goat cheese with a spicy tomato sauce. For an entree, I had the grilled ribeye with sauted onions over rice and black beans with yucca and plantain. The combal, which is similar to fajitas, came with a delicious smoky chipotle sauce. I tried the shrimp which were plump and fresh, although they still had the tails on. You had to finish shelling them before rolling them in your tortilla. The service is excellent.
