"Before catching a performance at the Auditorium Theatre, make sure to grab a quick dinner at Cafecito next door. This casual Cuban spot has platters with rice and beans, but the best things here are the sandwiches served on crispy bread. Our current sandwich rotation includes the classic Cubano, the saucy ropa vieja with sweet plantains, and the Guava Q: tender roasted pork or chicken, covered in a tangy guava BBQ sauce. Their cortaditos and cafe con leche also come in handy as a pick-me-up to help you survive the first act of Shrek: The Musical." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
