The Bellevue

Super cute interior to make you feel like you're in a little alleyway in Cuba. Their signature cubaño was as good as promised. Pork was delicious, and the cheese got caramelized on the grill. Service was so good. They have a little outside seating area as well. Will have to go back and try everything eventually. It was that good. I wish I'd gotten two sandwiches (and extra pickles lol)

My boyfriend eats here ALL the time and was craving their Cubano. I’m so-so on the sandwich but love their fries so agreed. We just picked it up and are both SO disappointed. They changed their fries, which taste cheap and soggy. If you look at other reviews you can see the flavorful crispy ones they always had. But even worse, the sandwich is different. I don’t know if it’s the meat quality that went down? I can’t wholly pinpoint it but it’s one of my boyfriend’s favorite sandwiches in the city and he said “this is trash.” Watch out for these changes. Hope they get things back on track. We threw away $40.

Loved their sandwiches. The fish sandwich was delicious, and I am not even a fish person. Chicken sandwich was also great. Overall great experience. Had the Cuban coffee for first time and it’s really strong coffee shot but it taste sweet enough.

We stopped by on a whim to have late lunch and enjoy the sunny day. Its a quaint spot on a corner. Has about 4 tables for patio seating. The inside is bar stools lining a table tht wraps around the wall. It’s small but it has character. Aide at the cash register was very friendly. I felt like i was walking out friends with her almost And the food was so good. 5/5 for rhe sandwhich and we couldnt finish it all. Left half a sandwhich for left over lunch tomorrow ☺️

The Cubano sandwich was good. The salad felt lacking. The pricing feels a little high for portions/quality but I look forward to trying them again. Beautiful outdoor patio.

this is actually the first cuban spot i visited when i moved to chicago over 12 years ago. i recently moved to lakeview west, so this is now fairly close to me and i bumped into it on a walk the other day. today decided to go in and grab some croquetas to go, which i was craving and went ahead and had a colada as well. the colada was scalding hot, i think likely overheated because the coffee tasted a little burnt and bitter. had to add sugar to it to make it taste as expected. (asked for a stirrer and got a plastic straw, which is weird). but still tasted better than trying to order a cuban coffee anywhere else at regular non-cuban cafes around the city. the croquetas, however, were great. reminded me of my grandmas croquetas. so i’d definitely go back to get those again. can’t say much for the rest of the food. service was fine. no a/c, but it wasn’t a hot day today. 6 small croquetas + a colada for $15.33 seems a little crazy, i could get this in miami for prob half the price. 🤷🏻‍♂️ but there’s something about the hole-in-the-wall aspect to this place that reminds me of home a bit.

I like their scrambled egg breakfast sandwich or Clyburn breakfast sandwich so I come back for it as well as their coffee with milk. The plantains (mariquitas) are also good, so give them a try. The place is small but they have space with stools to seat next to each other to eat, And the service has been fast. Their parking is in the back of the restaurant and there is also parking on the street. I'll keep coming back for takeout. You can always order online and pick up in the store or order ahead and pick up and pay as well.

Needed somewhere to dine with puppy who just had surgery. One person who is vegetarian. One person with high cholesterol. One person with diabetes. And with excellent food. Remember we ate here a few years ago. Very happy we were nearby and chose to come back. Everybody’s happy.

They have two locations. This one and the one on Armitage. But for some reason, the one on Armitage does not offer a la carte sandwiches like this place does. The Armitage location offers the sandwiches for $5 more and w/ fries. If I want to purchase 3 sandwiches, I definitely do not want one pay $15 more just for fries. The sandwiches themselves are already pretty filling. This place is tiny. When I arrived to pickup my food, it felt like a sauna in there. I sure hope the kitchen was a little cooler for them. It's insane how much prices have gone up. Cuban sandwiches used to cost $7. A very simple sandwich with very simple ingredients. I called in my order and ordered, a Cuban Sandiwch, Ropa Vieja Sandwich and a Media Noche Sandwich. I also ordered a side of Arroz Congri and fried plantains. My wife liked their Ropa Vieja. Personally for me it was a little too dry. But both the Media Noche and Cuban sandwich tasted amazing as well their arroz congri. Can definitely see myself returning.

Pretty decent Cuban spot. This is a nice casual lunch spot with a cute lil patio. I got the Cubano and it was great - crispy bread and tons of meat. Not the best Cubano I've had but still hit. You can sub the fries for a very tasty side salad with hearts of palm. The plantains are good, but the full order is kinda small (6 pieces) so keep that in mind. My boyfriend enjoyed his lechon.

It's only right you get the Cubano. Definitely the kind of place you pick up and bring home. Service is fast. Your welcome.

Very cute place on the corner with free and ample parking. The concept is adorable. Indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are lovely. Food was fun to order bc I love Cuban food but we waited a while. However, the food is so overpriced. Ropa vieja sandwich $17 with fries was a bit pricey for bread and not much shredded beef and not much flavoring and fries, so I asked for extra garlic oil sauce which was good and helped. You can ask for just the sandwich which is $12. We ordered sides like yuca fries $6 which had a bit too much batter for my taste but I loved that they had yuca fries. Another side Congri $7 (rice, beans, bacon) was dry and not much flavor so next time I will order beans and rice. The fruit juices were not sweet and not much real juice. Overall I loved the atmosphere and the decorations! Just the food was a bit disappointing and not filling outside of the bread for the sandwich. And the free parking was amazing bc it's hard to find that anywhere in Chicago.

We have been ordering lechon sandwiches here for years. It's been a while. Mostly because we moved to a different neighborhood and this is just a little out of the way now. But was craving it last weekend so we made the "trek". The sandwiches seem a little smaller these days. Or maybe I'm just remembering it wrong but PMG still as delicious. The lechon is cooked perfectly. The fries are excellent and the onions and plantains are so complementary to the meat. We love bending able to order online and quickly pick up. It's hard with a toddler to dine here, so to go is what we chose.

The prices are actually insane. A lechon sandwich without a drink costs $21. How does that even make sense? They legit take their customers as a joke to think we would pay that and not have any issues with that. I understand inflation is a thing but this is actual robbery.

Cuban food is becoming much more common. It has some well established places that have been around here that many people don't know. 90 Miles is one of the established places, and has a couple locations, with this one in Roscoe Village. Get some super good authentic food. There's stuff for either meat eaters or vegetarians beyond just the Cuban sandwich, which is the thing most people are familiar with. A lot of good sounding stuff to get. It's among the most authentic Cuban restaurants around here. The atmosphere features authentic music playing and even makes it feel like you're in Havana or somewhere over there. Cute little place of which only a few people can hardly fit in. Shit tons of Cuban classics on the menu. It's about $12 for an entree. Prices have increased up a bit from what these were. A few pretty good vegetarian choices. I like the Veggie Sandwich. Make this vegan by ordering without Swiss. Comes with black beans, mixed vegetables, and portobello mushrooms. The seasoning is hot enough without being so spicy. Has another location in Logan Square which is just as good. It's about the exact same menu. The best is whichever one is the closest of these.

After many drives past it and loving Cuban sandwiches, we had been disappointed the restaurant we were going to in Pilsen was no more so we stopped here on the way home. Haven't been so disappointed in a very long time. The only thing we enjoyed were the paintings on the outside walls. Extremely long wait, had to wait outside because the inside was unbearably hot and only had 2 stools anyway. The tamal had a scrap of meat or two and was unusually greasy. The Cuban was totally unremarkable. One of the most boring Cubans I ever tasted. And way over priced an top of it. Almost forgot, found out too late there's a 20 % surcharge on credit cards that was not noted on the register or anywhere I could see! What a disappointing waste of time and money. NEVER AGAIN

I really wanted to like this place especially seeing all the good reviews and I love cuban sandwiches. We got the guarito with papas fritas and bistec de palomilla with yuca fritas which was additional charge to upgrade this side. The best part of the meal in our personal opinion was the papas fritas. Both sandwiches lacked flavor and any kind of seasoning which is super rare for me because I actually had to attempt to salt them and I never add salt to my meals when eating out. They were also pretty dry which made me wonder where the chimchurri was. It didn't help that the guarito had a fried plantain as the bread which was crispy, but made the whole meal even drier. The better of the two was the bistec de palomilla which I still wouldn't get again. Unfortunately, I do prefer other cuban sandwiches place where it's cheaper and yummier to this spot especially since our total ended being around $45 Also they don't do their yelp check in anymore for a free dessert :(

90 Miles is such a cute spot...I understand what all the hype is about! We were in the neighborhood and wandered over to for lunch, and I'm so glad we did! The space is TINY, so I definitely recommend placing an order to-go, or better yet call ahead and pick up if you can! Although small, it's filled with character, charm, and lots of pride. They only have a few high top seats, so not a place you would want to come with more than one or two people if you plan on dining in. I ordered the pollo sandwich which -- chicken breast, romaine lettuce, tomato, and grilled onion on delicioussss toasted bread! This sandwich was flavorful, fresh, and HUGE! Really want to try the Cubano on the next visit, since that seems to be the most loved on the menu. For my side, I went with the plantain chips. I'm a huge fan of plantain chips and loved them here, though they could have used a touch more salt. If you aren't a fan of garlic, you might not love these! They are served with roasted garlic on top. I loved it. I ended up having half for the sandwich and chips for lunch the next day, which is always a huge win too. Will definitely come back for a feature sandwich fix. Would love to give a cafe cubano a try too!

The food was really good. Went on a Sunday for lunch. Wasn't overly busy. I had the vaca frita, it was very good. The service was not great. Lots of time passed before our server would check on us. She never brought us our food, someone else did. Overall good joint for Cuban.

Good food in a slightly smaller space. Heavy on the spices and always seemingly made fresh. Have had a number of the sandwiches on the menu and frankly all of them have been good enough to order again. Sometimes can take awhile on busy days/times.

I have gone to 90 miles at 2 of 3 current locations. I even have gone to the one formerly in lincolnwood. The food was always good. This time however I admit that there was a frisson of sticker shock. Good service and good food but the price is too high to give 5 stars.

Still a bit of confusion on pricing? You can get an a la cart Cuban for $12. On Yelp it says $17. Comes with a side. So streamline this so we all know what's going on. Bottom line we had a great dinner and really that's what is important. Glad we could reconnect. Welcome back in the rotation

One of my favorite spots to stop when I'm in town. Reasonable and delicious. Has another location in Wicker Park.

The food is good, but prices keep going up, and there's now an additional 20% fee added for credit cards. Two sandwiches with a scattering of plantains or fries shouldn't cost $45 (pre-tip, take-out). We're getting better at making Cubans ourselves. Mojo sauce is quick to mix together. Make at least a cup of it, and pour it into a slow cooker for 4-6 hours, or a pressure cooker for 25 minutes on high, with a pork log or some pork butt. Fork-shred. Heat up a panini grill (we use a Lodge stovetop griddle and top). Give the ham and pork a quick sear. Stack the ingredients on a roll (pork, yellow mustard, ham, dill pickle strips, Swiss cheese). Brush the top and bottom of the bread with olive oil or lard, and probably the grill as well. Grill it! You're now ready to open a food truck. Or go to Mima's on Irving Park Rd.

It's all about the cubano sandwich! Great flavor and textures all around. We also ordered the Frita Cubana burger but it was a bit overcooked and dry. For the sides, we got fries (very well-seasoned) and the potato and plantain chips. I haven't seen the mix of potato and plantain chips before and I would've preferred just plantain chips but this was the only option. Another interesting menu item was the empanadas with goat cheese and chorizo. They were okay and the wrapping wasn't too thick, but I was expecting something with more flavor. I'll definitely be back for the cubano but maybe skip the burger and try other menu items next time.

The tilapia in the sandwich was great. The sandwich itself was lacking in sauce to bread ratio. The sweet potato fries were superb but a $3 charge for a substitution is a bit high considering the quantity. Overall the patio space was super nice to sit out in on a good weather day

Tasty food and authentic dishes. Love the Cuban sandwich. Has a real depth of taste and the pork on the sandwich is outrageously with a slight bit of saltiness. the only recommendation is to have the fried plantains as an option with the cuban sandwich and make it authentic cuban! Recommend this place highly.

Food was tasty. Great cubano sandwich and I enjoyed the empanadas. Unfortunately they only gave us one chimichuri sauce for three empanadas and you have to pay 50 cents for each extra sauce. They also add surcharge to use a credit card. Little extra charges like this are annoying. Will go back in 6-12 months.

Service is very poor. The women who works there has poor customer service. It could be also be because it's literally a heat wave in the establishment. How could they not afford air conditioning in 90 degree weather and charge obscene prices on top of that? Poor service and facility is unbearable.

Easily one of the tastiest Cuban sandwiches I've ever had!! I've gotten takeout from here a few times during the pandemic, and it never disappoints. What I've found with a lot of Cuban sandwiches is that the pulled pork is hit or miss- either perfectly moist and delicious or dry and tough. At 90 miles, it's always perfect. I always get fries as my side and they have some really good fries. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and not soggy after my 20 ish min drive home. Definitely grab a sandwich from 90 miles, you won't be disappointed!!

Once again I had Happy Feet while eating here! Took my Mom & friends here for her birthday and we all enjoyed the food. Empanadas were delicious!!!!!

Experience: Decided to catch up with friends with a total of four people at this location. We were able to find seats fairly quickly after ordering in the front. However, the seats face away from each other so keep that in mind. Parking: Surprisingly enough, there is a parking lot in this location and of course, it's free! Definitely bonus points in my book. If the lot is full, there is a mixture of free and paid street parking. Just be aware of signs. Worth: I think if you want your Cuban food fix, this will satisfy your craving. The staff was friendly and professional. I had one of the sandwiches, I just forgot what it was (as pictured below), HOWEVER, it was delicious. The only thing, is this place is pricey and not good for groups. More like a one to two people venue if you decide to dine in.

The cubanos are always on point year after year, none better than 90 mile. The waitress today was congenial which is appreciated. Keep the good food coming

Delicious Cuban fare. We're visiting and needed lunch. The reviews were good so we gave it a try. The building is small and on a busy corner. It has tables outside which would have been nice on a warmer day but we decided to eat in. Bar seating inside, maybe 8 seats. My husband and I ordered Cubano sandwiches which were absolutely delicious. I was full after the first half but wasn't willing to leave any of it. The sandwich was a bit pricey but came with either fries or plantain chips. Both options were delicious. I would absolutely come back and would guess that the rest of the menu is just as delicious. The inside seating was very basic but a lot of people seemed to be taking the food away.

Was visiting with friends at Metropolitan Brewing and Doordash-ed food from 90 Miles Cuban Cafe, which is just across the river. My girlfriend and I ordered the Cubano and Empanadas... both were absolutely delicious! We are from the SF Bay Area, so have never had their food before, but if we're ever back in town we'll consider 90 Miles Cuban Cafe again!

A staple of Wicker Park. The Cuban sandwich is paired perfectly with the fried plantains, a nice combo of sweet and salty. The lechon has the most tender pork that melts in your mouth. The rice and beans were cooked to perfection, rice was light and fluffy.

I will start out by saying that although I am only giving this location 2 stars, the food and service were really good. We all loved our meals. Daniella, our waitress, was wonderful! However, a malfunctioning entry door, that caused a painful injury, really marred my experience. The only door to enter the location has a sign that says "pull hard". It is an incredibly heavy door and doesn't allow time for a person to get inside before closing with tremendous force. Unfortunately, despite a hand being out to "catch" the door before it closed, my ankle was clipped by this heavy door. My ankle was bruised and bleeding. Daniella was incredibly apologetic and offered first aide. She took a picture of my ankle and said she'd show the manager. Instead of having a sign saying the door is heavy, it would be great if the manager could fix the door to prevent this from happening again.

Food is alright but there were a few problems with my order I would like to bring up. I ordered the Cuban with plantain chips and the croquettes. The order took over 30 minutes to receive even though it was expected in 20. The croquettes were tasty but not that hot as if they had sat for a bit before being given to me. In addition, they were supposed to include an aioli but none came with them. Overall, I was excited to try 90 miles for the first time but it was disappointing.

Oh my lord. Why did I wait so long to have food from here?? We finally placed a delivery order and absolutely couldn't be happier. Everything we ordered arrived perfectly and correctly (additional sauces and everything). The empanadas: We had the chorizo and goat cheese, the beef one, and the pork one. Each was excellent. I literally can't pick a favorite. Pro-tip: go ahead and get all the extra sauces. The garlic sauce was super yum. The empanadas were perfectly cooked and easily some of the best I've ever had. The papa rellenas: Another fabulous choice. Also perfectly cooked and super tasty. They're filled with beef and super yum. And the sauce they came with was a perfect pairing. I could've easily filled up on just empanadas and pap rellenas. In fact, I did. We actually wound up saving our entrees for later. The great news? They reheated wonderfully and tasted as if they had just been ordered. The ropa vieja: Forever my favorite dish from Little Havana in Miami. And this one did not disappoint. So delicious! Everything about it was perfection. Also, their black beans are seriously fabulous. The bistec: You can pretty much never go wrong with steak. And paired with the chimichurri sauce it was everything I was craving. The colada: This stuff is my personal crack. When I lived in Miami, I basically, literally, was fueled entirely by this coffee drink. Hot, cold, luke warm, day old - it's always delicious. I was in absolute heaven. TL;DR: EAT HERE! (Or, ya know, get delivery because, well, COVID.)

I was visiting my nephew recently on a Monday afternoon in the area so it was convenient. The food was tasty and filling. I had the lechon and my nephew the pescado sandwich- our beverages were Topo Chico and a passion iced tea. I asked for a little more fruit purée in the tea - it needed a bit more sweetness. It was a bit pricier than I expected but the quality was good. I will try again when in the area.

I absolutely love 90-miles food and their Logan Square location but the Roscoe village one needs to do better. My friend ordered dinner for 4 (myself included) and asked for a sandwich for each of us with some empanadas to split amongst the group. They arrive to our place and didn't do a bag check. We're missing two Cubanos. We call them and let them know and ask for a dessert on the house for our inconvenience. We get a "No" but they tell us to come by and pick up the two missing sandwiches. I drive my friend, and I go inside to grab them since I had a face mask. The girl even asked me if I wanted fries or chips for the TWO CUBANOS. I tell her one for each. We get back to our place and they gave us ONE cubano and ONE steak sandwich. Two weeks prior my gf also had a frustrating experience. She ordered a carry out Lechon sandwich and when she went to pick it up they informed her they didn't take the order and it was going to be a wait because they had another big order. The staff here need to be a bit more attentive to orders and placing the correct food in bags.

Got take out order completely wrong and I ordered in person. Manager won't return call to make it right. 2nd time this has happened. Very disappointing meal.

I have been going to this place for a good while now and I do love their food, but this concerned me when I found this in my Frita Burger which I almost bit into and swallowed. Approach this place with caution!

Got delivery the other day. Some of the order was 5-star worthy, some was just ok. Started with the patatas bravas. These are a bit unique as they come with an egg on top which is great and they also come with two spicy sauces, not just the typical aioli. It's a bit pricey at $8 but worth it on occasion. The we also got the media noche and the bistec de palomilla. We've had the media noche at the other 90 Miles location in Logan Square and it was just as good here. Has to be the best sandwich on the menu. So full of flavor, filling but not overly so. I could it that every day. The bistec de palomilla on the other hand was pretty average. The steak was very thin but cooked well; it just didn't have a tun of flavor. The sandwich was supposedly made with chimichurri but we didn't taste any. It wasn't bad, just meh. The fries that come with each sandwich are fantastic, almost like curly fries but straight. Get the Media Noche!

Great Cuban sandwiches! Chicken fricassee delicious Desserts - flan & tres leches also muy deliciouso! I ordered a $300 carry out order with four desserts. The desserts were put in with the hot food and were melted upon arrival. Asked for the sandwiches to be it on fourths for a party which wasn't done. I'll go back but wouldn't recommend carry out.

Went there with a friend of mine from Miami . Ambiance was great , the food was terrific . Ordered the churrasco ,congri and yuca with Jupina soda . The only thing I didn't care for was that I charged a $10 tip and then expected to tip more . I was fully prepared to tip like $20 , just didn't care for an automatic tip charge . But I guess that's what you have to do because of cheap skates. Either way this place deserves a chance at your time .

A real Cuban experience. It feels like this meal I got is just like what the people in Cuba are getting right now. Look how small this portion of lechon was. It was only 4 bites, for $18. Not worth the money at all!

90 Mile is great. We ordered food for delivery and it arrived fast and hot. The dishes were delicious. I highly recommend.

This place used to be my go-to, but I ordered the $17 Avocado toast and it didn't have any avocado!! Wait, what?? After pulling apart the sandwich I found the thinnest smear underneath the lettuce and eggs. I understand that margins are tight, but this is absolutely unacceptable. Please do better for your loyal customers.

Always amazing! We live right down the street and order from here all the time. NEVER had anything bad. Always flavorful, hot and fantastic Cuban food!

Pescado sandwich was pretty tasty, although wish there was more of a sauce on it. Fries were well done--Make sure to check out the coconut flan dessert (Free with purchase when you check in on yelp).

This no frills sandwich stand serves up some seriously tasty cubano sandwiches, some of the best in the city. The chicken soup is excellent, sporting a strong, earthy, meaty flavor, and as of this writing you can get a cup for free when you check in on yelp! No comfortable seating, just stools against a wall bar, so the best option here is to go.

5 stars all the way.  You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I highly, highly recommend the Fricase de Pollo. This is one of the best dishes that I have had in 20 years of Chicago restaurant dining.   It's plate licking good and it's enough food for two meals. 90 miles is a little on the expensive side which I'm sure turns some people off, but the portion sizes are large, you can often get two meals out of one entree if you're a normal size eater.  Completely worth the price as I am more than happy to pay for quality, and I've never felt like I didn't get my money's worth.   Also, cool little shack on a non-descript part of Clybourn with a nice little bit of outdoor seating!

Hecho una mierda. Wow, I was so sad upon walking in. Overpriced food and trash service. They take you all for suckers. Not authentic cuban. Sorry Chicago. Gotta try elsewhere. My cortadito is just regular burnt coffee...

This is the original location for the 90 Miles Cuban restaurant chain. You can get some great authentic Cuban food here. Went here recently and had the Guajiriti which is a pounded steak with Romaine lettuce, tomato, onions, swiss cheese and chimichurri in a green plantain sandwich. Also had the pan con lechon which is roasted pork Citrus mango, grilled onions with fried sweet plantains in a special sauce. Served on either a white or wheat French baguette with plantain chips or french fries. My favorite so far is the pan con lechon sandwich. This location has a small indoor eating area with a larger Outdoors patio area which is a great place to be on a nice warm sunny day. Prices can't be beat and as you can see by my pictures the portions are large and very filling. The employees were cordial and helpful. All in all it's a great place to grab a sandwich or even check out the specials cuz they have some wonderful deals.

Unfortunately this place doesn't follow covid mask rules. My girlfriend just picked some takeout out. Someone was in the pickup line without a mask. When pointed out, the cashier said it was fine he worked there. He had no mask, not even around his neck or in his hand. The food is good and we should support local restaurants but if they don't take this seriously then what else hygiene they don't take seriously.
