It's got that classic Chicago fast-food feel, the kind of spots that have been around forever, but this one looks a bit more modern, colorful and cleaned up. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We just wanted something quick, so I went with the double cheeseburger and fries. The burger was loaded. Two patties, cheese, and all the toppings. Not just the usual onions and pickles either, this had lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, ketchup... the whole thing. Honestly, everything I want in a burger. First bite, super juicy, really flavorful, and it still had that nice char on the meat. Fries were those hand-cut style, a little uneven, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was really good, Left satisfied. I'd definitely be coming back.

Cubanito Express is such a great spot for breakfast or lunch in Berwyn! Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, you can really taste the love in every bite. They make a fantastic Cuban. Whether you're grabbing a sandwich or one of their breakfasts, you're in for something delicious. And their garlic sauce? It's to die for. Seriously, I'd put it on everything if I could. This place is a must-try if you're in the area! read more

I went to eat at Corrales on Friday night and accidentally left my phone behind…read more When my wife went back to pick it up, using the location from Find My iPhone, the same server who had waited on me told her she didn't recognize me or know who I was. My wife was there with our two little children, trying to explain what I had been wearing, who I was with, and where we had been sitting. She was still ignored and received very little help from the staff. Eventually, I did get my phone back, and I'm thankful for that. But what bothers me is everything surrounding it. I tipped more than 20% that night. I always try to leave my table as clean as possible out of respect for the server and busser. I've been coming here for years. I genuinely love the food and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. I even have memories of getting ice cream with my son from the place next door, which I understand is under the same ownership. That's why this experience hurt more than it probably would have somewhere else. Maybe this was the actions of one server. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. I can't say for certain what every staff member knew. But from my wife's experience, no one seemed willing to help her, and the way the situation was handled felt dishonest, dismissive, and disrespectful. Something as simple as returning someone's lost phone should not have turned into this. I have a lot of good memories at Corrales, and I truly loved coming here. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't see myself coming back. Thanks for the memories, Corrales. I sincerely wish this situation had been handled differently. Fui a comer a Corrales el viernes por la noche y accidentalmente dejé mi teléfono ahí. Cuando mi esposa regresó a recogerlo, usando la ubicación de Find My iPhone, la misma mesera que me había atendido le dijo que no me reconocía ni sabía quién era. Mi esposa estaba ahí con nuestros dos hijos pequeños, tratando de explicarle cómo iba vestido, con quién estaba y en qué mesa habíamos estado sentados. Aun así, prácticamente la ignoraron y recibió muy poca ayuda por parte del personal. Al final sí recuperé mi teléfono, y agradezco eso. Pero lo que realmente me molesta es todo lo que pasó alrededor de la situación. Esa noche dejé más del 20% de propina. Siempre trato de dejar mi mesa lo más limpia posible por respeto al mesero y a la persona que limpia las mesas. He venido a este lugar durante años. Sinceramente me encanta la comida y siempre he disfrutado mucho el ambiente. Incluso tengo bonitos recuerdos de ir por helado con mi hijo al lugar de al lado, que tengo entendido pertenece al mismo dueño. Por eso esta experiencia me dolió mucho más de lo que probablemente me hubiera dolido en cualquier otro lugar. Tal vez todo fue por la actitud de una sola mesera. Tal vez hubo algún malentendido. No puedo asegurar lo que sabía cada empleado. Pero por lo que vivió mi esposa, nadie parecía dispuesto a ayudarla y la forma en que manejaron la situación se sintió deshonesta, indiferente y muy irrespetuosa. Algo tan simple como devolverle a alguien un teléfono perdido no debería haberse convertido en algo así. Tengo muchos buenos recuerdos de Corrales y sinceramente me encantaba venir aquí. Lamentablemente, después de esta experiencia, no creo volver. Gracias por los recuerdos, Corrales. Sinceramente desearía que esta situación se hubiera manejado de otra manera.
