90 Miles Cuban Cafe - side

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.

Food was amazing! Had the Cubano. Sadly… the owners don’t want to fix the AC… the workers are forced to work in VERY hot conditions, making the inside dining untenable on hot days. The staff was VERY welcoming, and attentive, I would for sure go back!

Small Cuban coffee is 4$ at any other Cuban place in Chicago is 2$ . Jupina juice is 4,50$ at any other Cuban place is 1 1,50$ . … Extremely overpriced place . No air conditioning inside. Outside 92 degrees, inside 100 degrees. Something is not right with place .

The impossible beef empanada is so good. Really appreciate the vegan menu

Food is the bomb!!!!! Service was ok but it was packed and I only saw two servers but other than limited service I’m going to go back!!! 9 out of 10 for me!
