This is my favorite place to pick up a hot Cuban sandwich and a nice big cup of horchata (sweeten rice drink) to go. All the sandwiches start from $3.75 to a little under $5.00. When I get a chance to sit and dine, I love the huge Chilean empanada, which is baked pastry with meat of your choice as a filling. Two of those can fill you up pretty well. I've had the Milanesa sandwich (breaded steak) served on Chilean style homemade cornbread, which added a little sweetness to the sandwich. The Puerto Rican-style Jibarito sandwich (also good), consist of breaded steak and fried green bananas. They do serve entrees besides sandwiches, but I’ve never had the chance to try any of it yet. Since I am still working through the sandwich menu.

This is a family-owned restaurant, with mom, dad, grandma and grandpa working the place. It isn’t the most beautifully decorated place but they try. The furniture is a mix of basic dining chairs to folding chairs. The tables are covered with vinyl table clothes. The wall decorations consist of one wall of mirrored faux-window frames to one wall with the American, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Chilean flags.

This place is pretty much hidden from any tourist or people who don’t live in the neighborhood. It is located around the corner from the busier street, which is Irving Park Rd. The best way to probably get here is by bus or car. There is the blue line train, just west of the restaurant, but you would need to transfer to a bus going east towards the lake.
