Cafecito - Chicago

By order. jerk pressed sandwich, Cuban-bean soup and guay dulce de leches mousse cake. jerk sandwich was good, need more Caribbean taste. dessert was delicious. the Cuban black bon soup was salty, tasted like boiled water supper as well and not good.

This was our wild card spot for lunch today while at work and we were all pleasantly surprised. Amazing vegan options weren't even advertised on Google maps, so I wanted to give a big shout out as the beyond impossible sandwich was wonderful! I was literally lamenting about my favorite pressed sandwiches and Cubano Fair and wishing there were vegan options (outside of my own kitchen) and low and behold, Cafecito delivered. I went with a non-vegan who ordered off the vegan menu as well as someone with dietary restrictions who found it easy to order a custom sandwich. We grabbed it to go because the eat in area is small and it was lunch time, but we will be back soon! The service was very kind and there were awesome soda and coffee options to go along with a great quick lunch.Vegetarian options: Entire vegan menu! I never have this many options! Thank you so much for offering yummy options!!

Serviceable downtown Cuban. The lunch crowd gets a bit disorganized, and the place is small, so know what you want, order and pay, and then stand out of the way.I was surprised that similar orders can take significantly longer than others. Two coworkers and I went in for sandwiches for lunch and one of us ordered an al pastor sandwich (because they were out of all chicken) and two of us got our sandwiches within 10 minutes, but it was closer to 20 for the al pastor sandwich. So not always the easiest experience at lunch; maybe ordering ahead would be better for this location.

Cafecito is one of my favorite lunch spots in the loop. The line can be pretty long but they’ll usually get you your drink while your waiting for your sandwich and the sandwiches are worth the wait!
