“ Decent lunch spot, has some good sandwiches and coffee, food comes out fast, and it's not that expensive. My favorite sandwich is the Cevito with a side of Yuka fries. The food is a lot better when you eat there vs doing pickup or delivery. The staff is nice and gave me pretty good menu recommendations. The restaurant is definitely smaller and built to be more of a grab and go spot but if you can eat in then you should. ”

“ Decent sandwiches, busy during lunch - they seem to be efficient but I would recommend ordering ahead to avoid a wait ”

“ OMG!! I didn't believe the hype at first. I had the Palomilla sandwich and it was so good. all the flavors can be tasted in the sandwich. To the marinated steak and onions right down to the sauce. ”

“ Their cuban sandwiches are so beyond good and a great brunch or lunch option. I love the vegetarian options, the egg and cheese as well as the eggplant are so good. My husband has tried many but loves the jerk. Definitely worth trying if you havent! ”

“ It was my first time trying a Cuban sandwich and boy was it delicious. This restaurant is a cute small place with a couple of tables. They have breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well as coffees. I got the egg and cheese sandwich and added onions. The bread was absolutely delicious! It was so soft and flaky. I do wish the egg had some seasoning on it because it was a bit bland. Overall a super delicious and filling breakfast sandwich. My friend got the jardin and that tasted incredible. The veggies were cooked perfectly and tasted so well with the mozzarella cheese. The sandwiches came out super quickly! Highly recommend this place for a delicious sandwich. ”

“ Quick & Tasty! What more could you ask for on a midweek lunch run? I have been to the Cafecito in Gold Coast which is a much bigger space and full restaurant but this is my first time coming to this particular location in the downtown loop. This is more of a take out spot with only 4 small tables. Same menu as the other locations but more geared towards fast service in contrast to full service. I'm okay with that! In & out in less than 10min. I got the Guava-Q pork platter which comes with a side of sweet plantains, rice & black beans and a pressed ropa sandwich. Everything was packaged nicely, nothing spilled or made a mess in the bag. The lady at the counter was a little grumpy but I could tell she was tired. Quantity was plentiful, full of flavor, and just under $30 USD. The location seems more authentic Cuban - very colorful and cheerful but also be mindful it is in a more run down part of the city. Outside was under the El train and a bit dingy. I say this because I just wouldn't want to be walking here after the loop empties. Note: They close by 5pm and only open weekdays. ”

“ Has anyone else heard that Gabriel Iglesias bit about Calle Ocho & the Cafecito? I don't want to spoil it, but misadventures ensued. Point is, ever since then I have been wanting to try this allegedly delicious concoction! So much so, when thinking of going to Miami, a visit to the aforementioned was basically guaranteed. Now, I discovered this cafe by accident. On a 90° day, I was searching Yelp for ice cream near me, and the powers that be (ie Yelp's highly imperfect search algorithm) showed "Cafecito" in the results. It was at that moment I proclaimed "Ice cream be darned!" I was going to try this thing even if it meant a hot beverage on a hot day. Now that I've tasted it, I can not only tell you it was worth it, but that I will likely be dreaming of it for the next couple of days if not weeks. The espresso is perfection - right in that narrow sweet spot between bitter and sour. Speaking of sweet, the amount of sugar was perfect to make the drink pleasantly sweet, and help moderate some of the stronger coffee notes of the espresso without hiding or overpowering them. I will give further credit for the size - even though I ordered a single, the amount of espresso was more than fair, especially at a price of $2.69. Finally, I had the further delight of trying one of the Alfajores. The cookie was very soft, not overly sweet, and the combination of flavors was excellent! I can tell these are made with love, and with a recipe/technique handed down through a couple generations. It was an awesome compliment to an awesome coffee. With all this, I have 100% become a raging fan of Cafecito (the cafe) and the cafecito (the drink). If a place serving them (and done right), doesn't open in the Boston area, I might have to open one myself! ”
