"Despite what Cuba 312’s giant Tony Montana mural might suggest, a meal at this Roscoe Village spot thankfully doesn’t come with a “say hello to my little friend” surprise. Instead, you’re greeted by a much more pleasant combination of friendly staff and tasty Cuban dishes like ropa vieja and juicy shrimp bathed in a spicy garlic sauce, with plenty of fried plantains, yuca, and cassava to snack on. Grabbing a seat during the week is pretty easy, but the colorful small space decked out in vintage "Welcome To Cuba" posters can fill up on the weekend. And when you need to remember what sunlight feels like, they have a small sidewalk patio. " - john ringor
