“Nice meal over all but the service really is the highlight. The lady inviting guest to come and sit-down, what a gesture!”
“Stumbled upon this gem on my way back to Texas 🤠 I got the torta cubana and it did not disappoint. The bread was nicely toasted and the flavors were well balanced. I feel like sometimes the mustard can be overpowering on a cubana, but not this one! I would definitely come back!”
“A nice spot to eat at the airport. Prices are fair, there’s enough space to chill for a bit, and the food is fresh.”
“So glad this is a staple at O'Hare. It is expensive but very flavorful. There are 2 in the airport so whether you are in 3 or 1 you can eat well. I love that they are open 5AM -9PM because I want something good and filling during my early morning flights, and during my later ones their Cubano and soup hits the spot. It's a good place to sit and eat when you have time. People just sit at a table to wait ten minutes for their food, so if you are trying to done in, be ready to ask someone if you could sit down. (Older review)Best $21 soup and sandwich I've ever had!!! I was walking through and it smelled amazing. The line started to discourage me, but I figured I had a long layover. I ordered the Cubano and a corn poblanos soup. Once I got to my gate I decided to just try a quick bite. Wowza! What a meal! I now look forward to going O'Hare.”
“4 stars because it's not all vegan, but the workaround vegan / vegetarian option is the cauliflower torta with no cheese, pictured here. The service was awesome and being able to sit at a table or eat at the bar is nice.”
“This would be a 4 star except the prices for two tacos was $15! I get that airport food is already overpriced to begin with. I think for $15, three tacos would have been justified. Tacos were tasty.”
