90 Miles Cuban Cafe

"This corner restaurant is a great lunch or casual dinner spot for tasty chorizo and goat cheese empanadas, Cubanos, and ropa vieja platters loaded with rice, beans, and plantains. The interior decked out in murals and old framed photos is small, but their dual patios always have plenty of room—there’s a sunny front area and a busy covered space in the back for anyone who wants to check out their occasional live DJ sets. It’s also BYOB with a small corkage fee if you want a six-pack or wine and rum to pair with their refreshing mojito and sangria mixes." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen

"A Cuban cafe with locations in Roscoe Village and Logan Square, closed due to overdue rent." - Serena Maria Daniels

"There’s a lot to like about 90 Miles in Logan Square, including a large covered patio that makes it feel like summer even in the middle of February. The Cuban food (like lechón and ropa vieja) is very affordable, plus it’s BYOB and they have excellent sangria mixes. So if you bring a bottle of wine they can turn it into a pitcher of cocktails." - josh barnett, adrian kane

"This is one of the best places in the city for a large group dinner, or to just hang out with a friend or two. 90 Miles serves authentic Cuban food in a fun but relaxed setting, and you can bring your own wine or rum to add to the sangria and mojito mixes they offer. The back patio is enclosed and heated in the winter, and the friendly waitstaff won’t make you feel weird if you spend all day here pretending you’re on vacation." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor
