Sazon Cubano - Fire - Cuban Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Good sandwich, terrible experience. I placed a pickup order through yelp and went to the address. It was closed - so I called and the employee notified me they had changed addresses. I drove across town and then got a call / text from yelp saying my order was cancelled. I placed an order inside and waited for my food. As I said, the sandwich was good. But not worth driving thru traffic for. They need to update the address! read more

Came in today for the first time and was very surprised by how good the sandwiches were! We had the ham egg and cheese and the steak sandwich. The staff were as also very friendly and attentive! Way better than Senor Pan and Mariano! Will be coming back for sure ! read more

good food but terrible service. got seated at 7:51pm and didn't get served till an hour later.

Terrible service. Bad food. Cubano sandwich had no red sauce on it and when we ask the waitress about it she looked at us and said "Que?" Like she didn't understand what we we're talking about. Funny thing is she was the owners daughter!!!! The pork on the sandwich tasted old whey I bit into it and when I looked at it, it was melee and grey. I wanted to throw up. We sent the sandwich back and after that there were no apologies or concerns all the waitress said was, with an attitude, I need to know what was wrong with the sandwich? Won't be back!!! read more

Solid Cuban and steak sandwiches as well as mojo de ajo. We'll probably be back next week. read more

Food is good but the experience was terrible. 1st it cost $92 to feed 3 people. Then they forgot to give one of the sandwiches we ordered. On another sandwich they added onions even though we asked them to keep them off that one. And on yet another one (steak jibarito) there was almost no meat on it. Won't EVER be going back. read more

Time for some Cuban food. The only requirement was that they open for lunch and for sit down dining (with the usual Covid precautions). The menu features the usual Cuban dishes (like ropa vieja and pork stew) plus some pan-Hispanic choices such as jibaritos or tacos. And the menu features fried rice which I learned is a quintessential Cuban offering due the influence of Chinese sugar cane workers. We started off with appetizers - empanadas and ham croquettes. After the appetizers we went with sandwiches instead of main dishes, washed down with tropical sodas. Didn't have room for dessert but took home a couple of the homemade guava turnovers. This is a typical owner operated place with a counter and six tables. Service was pleasant, prices were reasonable and most importantly, the food was very good and had that homemade taste. I have to stop by for breakfast next time I'm in the area. read more

Food is ok. Menu prices use to be good, now food is double the regular price. The cuban shrimp fried rice before cost $7.99 now cost $17.99. Where that come from? Not worth it. read more

Take-Out Review: Ordered ropa Vieja sandwich. It was fully packed with meat and it was savory. I've ordered from here a few time and it's become a hit or miss sort of joint. Their reasonable pricing and ropa Vieja sandwich is what keeps me interested. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. My sister, who is pregnant, and working as a floor nurse nearby ordered food with a group of her co-workers from this restaurant to support local businesses during this time and because who doesn't love Cuban food! She came home from work exhausted after mentioning they had placed this $80 lunch order that had never arrived. They had no missed calls from the restaurant's delivery driver and the food had never been dropped off at the front desk of the hospital. They called and the restaurant employee stated they had called the provided phone number and no one answered so they took the food back and would not return unless another delivery fee was paid. That is unacceptable customer service especially since the provided number had no missed calls as the restaurant stated. They refused to refund the money and they refused to drop off the food. This was all occurring TWO hours after the order had been placed. When the employee was asked for the restaurant manager, she refused to provide the name and stated not there at this time. There is something shady going on there but either way, I know I will never frequent this establishment. read more

The food was decent The service was good however the prices are ridiculous $3 for a can of Coke and $21 for ropa vieja that was enough to feed a 5-year-old. read more

First time I tried this place it was AMAZING. I had the tacos and a few empanadas and was amazed at how good they were and for such a good price too! I ordered from here a second time and thought okay, just an off day. But today I ordered for the third time and it was just AWFUL! I thought I had finally found a good place to get empanadas from but was wrong. The whole recipe was different. All in a five month span. read more

Last time I came here was when it had the grand opening . I had empanadas where when I took a bite, it had a piece of bone in it . The meat seasoning was off as well . My husband actually enjoyed their Cuban sandwich. Today I stopped by to get a Cuban coffee - cafe con leche . I didn't see any packing of the coffee be done like I usually see at different locations . I saw her grab some left over coffee that was on top of the machine, she looked into the cup and poured it into mine. Usually when I see the baristas make it they clean the part that they use to heat the milk .. I saw it was dirty from the previous use and figured she'd clean it. Nope , she used it dirty and left it dirty after . I will not be coming back . read more

I went with my bestie here for dinner. Their food is consistently good and their pina coladas were good too. I also quite like their music selection. read more

The tops vieja here is phenomenal.. best flavor I've had. Their tostones are fiyyyaaa. I will definitely be ordering again.

I wanted so bad to love this place. I was so happy to hear they opened up a Cuban spot near me. The service was awesome. Very friendly waitress. But the food was NOT good. Honestly we did not enjoy one item. I won't go back here again. read more

Loved it..new restaurant to the area..friendly waitress..food was excellent, especially enjoyed the cuban fried frice..I has added this spot to my rotation for Cuban food read more

Sazon Cubano - Cuban Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best steak jibarito I had in a long time and ham croquettes were delicious. Waitress was nice and informative. She also kept our waters full and table clean. read more

This new place is a small hidden gem for Cuban cuisine. Great prices, great portions, friendly staff and great tasting food. The menu is small but precise. I recommend the Ox tail, it's awesome. Generous portions enough for 2. Compared to other local cuban cuisine place D Cuba, I can definitely see why this is a better choice for select dishes. Cuban sandwich are close as you can get from a Miami Cafeteria.. I should know that's where I lived 20 years of my life. Parking is scarce, the location is small but well ventilated that you could enjoy a great meal. I recommend you check this place out and support your local community family owned grub hubs. I will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food Friendly staff Had issues with grubhub (not issues with the restaurant) and they were so helpful! Who doesnt love a place with great food AND amazing customer service!! Alot of competition with Cuban food but this place holds its own. Try the chicken dinner Jibaritos And chorizo breakfast sandwhich read more

Tried this out on grub hub and was very pleased. Empanadas (beef) are excellent and a great bargain. Tostones were good, but the garlic sauce had spilled en route. I also tried the Cuban style shrimp fried rice - very unexpectedly delicious. My one issue was the excess grease, but transferring food to different containers took care of things. I will definitely keep this on my short list. read more

Really good jibaritos sandwiches and cafe con leche. great for breakfast or dinner. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Tasted like stale bread, dried meat and as if the rice was drained through dirty water. Complete waste of money.

My friends and I were looking for a Cuban or Puerto Rican spot that was open & had a patio. We were going to go to a different place but they were closed due to protests going on in the city. I searched patio dining on here & sazon Cubano popped up. I called, they were open & had a patio. Perfect. We get there and they were playing salsa on the speakers outside, so that was welcoming already. Go inside to order & the staff were super friendly. Ordered our food & were told to go pick a table outside and they would being it out. Everthing came out quickly & just as ordered. We all ordered something different & stuff to share. EVERYTHING was delicious!!! AMD they told us at the end of our meal that its BYOB so we found our outdoor patio spot. Will be coming here weekly! Support local. You wont regret it. read more

The food is very good. I love their steak sandwiches and empanadas! The woman that works at the restaurant is always so nice and welcoming. We always enjoy our food every time we come here! read more

Really good jibarito sandwiches and appetizers . The café con leche was the best part. I would say it's the best in the city. I can't wait to go back and try a lechón sandwich. read more

You know a Cuban restaurant will be fire! When you spot the guava and cheese pastries as soon as you walk in!! I was craving cuban food one day and drove almost 25 mins out of my way to find this little gem. This is my second time here, and it never disappoints. The food reminds me of the cuban food I had in Miami growing up. The staff.is warm and welcoming, food is fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant is small, and it looks like people do a lot of take out. I had the ropa vejia with sweet plantains and the pastries...all great choices. I even like how they wrap the to go orders in foil so that it keeps nice and hot. Definitely gives this place a try! read more

What a SPECTACULAR Mom & Pop type restaurant. Ordered oxtails with cuban rice and plantains. The food was GREAT! Oxtails were braised perfectly in their homemade sauce. If you want an authentic experience, this is your place. read more

Just like the other review I ordered off Uber Eats. The food arrived fairly quick. I ordered the steak jibarito, the meat was nice and tender. Also ordered the beef empanadas, meat was good. Would definitely order from them again. read more

I had the cheese steak sandwich and it was loved it.. their maduros and arroz congris is very authentic and delicious. I come here often i recommend it. read more

I had the jibarito de bistec, empanadas de carne y de pollo, and my boyfriend had the tilapia. Everything was delicious minus the black beans that come with the white rice. They tasted like tea which is odd for beans. I also tried the guava empanada with cream cheese and it was so good. The interior of the restaurant is nice & spacious considering the size of the establishment. Overall great food & good customer service. I will be back soon. read more

I ordered Two large coffees and was given the smallest iced coffees ever and was told to pay $8.47 total for two baby iced coffees. What a rip off. The lady wouldn't give me back my credit card until i paid for them. This is the worst service ever- I wish the lady on the phone didn't waste my fucking time and told me they only had 1 size before I wasted my time going there . Smh what a rip off . read more

Their fried rice is off the chain!! So much flavor and huge portions (good enough for 2 or 3 people) Friendly and fast service. Will be back! read more

Stumbled upon this gem and wow can I just say how DELICIOUS this place is? Yesterday, when I discovered it, I wasn't feeling too good, ordered a chicken noodle soup they make in-house and a cafecito con leche. I can almost believe the soup healed me . I came back the next day and had the steak jibarito, the waitress was super sweet and helped me order (I wanted it all). I live on the far Southside - but it is totally worth it to come up here for some of this food. Insanely good. read more

I just ordered from here for the first time and all I can say is "WOW!". The food was amazing. I had a Cuban and I tried one each of the empanadas. The sandwich was exactly what I was expecting, too often a Cuban sandwich end up letting you down. This one was delicious! All of the empanadas were great, but the chicken was the best of the bunch. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Great food all the way around!!! read more

I still really like this little spot primarily because it is local and fairly priced but the steak burrito was very disappointing. It was entirely stuffed with rice and maybe a tablespoon worth of steak. Overall size of the burrito was great but reminded me entirely of a Chipotle burrito and sadly I would have preferred a burrito from Chipotle. read more
