"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
"One of our go-to spots for a quick sandwich in the Loop. We like rotating between the classic Cubano and the Guava with tender roasted pork or chicken, covered in a tangy guava BBQ sauce." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen
"Start the day with a shot or two of espresso or a sweet and creamy cafe con leche along with a breakfast sandwich made with steak, eggs, grilled onions, and Cafecito’s excellent Cuban bread. For a more indulgent meal, dig into pancakes topped with sweet plantains and pineapple while sipping a mimosa made with guava or mandgo nectar. Cafecito also has locations in Lincoln Park and The Loop. Online ordering is also available." - Sam Nelson
"One of the South Loop’s favorite lunching spots, Cafecito is an excellent place for a sandwich. Pick a traditional Cuban or go for one of their more out-of-the-box options, and don’t forget to add a side of spicy black bean soup or grab a container of whole olives to share." - Ashok Selvam
