A Critic Gives High Marks to One of the Year’s Biggest Openings - Eater Chicago
"Mima’s is serving Cuban comfort in Irving Park. Mike Sula says there’s “some extraordinary frycraft” going on; tostones have a “lightness and freshness, utterly unlike the dense and starchy variant you come across all too often.” The jibarito, the only non-Cuban item on the menu, is “very respectable” but classic Cubano sandwich itself is “something extraordinary, an expertly buttered and pressed package, with all the elements of fat and acidity in balance contained within a uniformly resonant bread jacket.” Other highlights include a Gordito sandwich packed with mojo-marinated sirloin and eggs; and meats like peppery ropa vieja and juicy shredded roast pork." - Jeffy Mai
