Cuban cafe offering sandwiches, traditional dishes & breakfast in a relaxed setting with a pergola.
"Scientific trials have led us to the following conclusion: fried food is best enjoyed with booze. And with its massive fried appetizer platter, 1492 Cuban Fusion Cafe in Humboldt Park is a great spot to show up with a few friends and a six-pack. The loaded plate comes with plantains, stuffed potato balls, croquettes, and three types of empanadas. Their Cubano or ropa vieja with savory yellow rice are both fantastic, and make sure to grab a guava and cheese pastelito. The colorful space is great for smaller groups and miraculously seems to always have at least one table open even when it's busy." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor
"1492 Cuban Fusion Cafe has no shortage of personality—from colorful knick knacks to friendly servers giving TED talks about everything in the massive appetizer sample. And while scaling that fried food mountain with friends is great, so is the rest of their Cuban and Latin food. The menu is long and reads like a short novel. Don’t feel like reading small novels? Here are the Sparknotes: go for a guava-cheese pastelito and coffee in the morning, a Cubano for lunch, or ropa vieja for dinner. Plus, you can even bring your favorite bottle of wine or six-pack since they’re BYOB. " - josh barnett, john ringor
