Fantastic Philly Cheese steak! Atypical because the meat is more substantial; cut thicker and the pieces are almost fajita-like. It is meaty, flavorful and slightly chewy in the best possible way. The onions and green peppers were phenomenal. Texture, crunch, taste. Would have liked more cheese.We split a whole sandwich and I couldn't get through my half. The roll could barely contain the sandwich! LThanks, Yelpers, for another great choice!

This is a pretty small place but they've got a decent amount of seating. I like their style, the mural and neon sign are a nice touch. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had the Cultura Mix sub, which is essentially mixed shawarma on a sub roll. I found it to be very average. I've had better shawarma and I've had worse, but my biggest issue was just a lack of seasoning. It was a bit on the bland side. You can receive some free baklava with a yelp check-in, which is nice, but that too was bland and also somewhat dry. Looking at other reviews, it seems like steak is the way to go here. I'll have to come back for a jibarito and see if that improves the experience.

I got hoodwinked by all of these false great reviews. Do not fall for them. I ordered a Chicken Shawarma wrap and fries.The fries were average lightly seasoned but clearly frozen and not worth $4. The wrap was awful. It definitely didn't look like chicken either burnt ends of pork or something else. It was so salty that I couldn't even finish. I mean I've never been more thirsty in my life. The meat was uneatable. I was extremely disappointed and will never be back. I almost went back and asked for a refund. STAY AWAY

This experience was just okay. I found this place to be extremely expensive! I had tacos. They were okay, nothing to write home about. My parents share a steak sandwich they said was good but not the best. My kids had hot dogs that were okay and fairly overpriced. The guy told us we had to sit in the small section at the front of the store, not the restaurant section on the side, which made little sense because the next group of people got to sit there. I don't plan to come back.

Ordered the shrimp jibarito and it was goooood. Quite hard to bite into it as all the pieces fall out, but when I managed to get everything into my mouth it was delicious. I think the prices are a bit high for me so I won't be visiting as frequently as I hope.

Yummmmmm! Is the first word that comes to mind, I've driven by Cultura Subs a few dozen times but have not had the opportunity to stop by until today. The restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem. Tucked away in a strip mall and connected to its sister restaurant, Cultura Steak. It doesn't look like much outside but when you walk in you're greeted with a friendly smile, some seating and beautiful murals on the wall. I love myself a good jibarito, and locally there just aren't many places that have a decent one. But from the reviews, I knew I had to stop by. And it did not disappoint! The crispy plantain crunch, with deliciously seasoned steak with the works on top, each bite was better than the last, when we were genuinely sad when we finished it and wanted another but had no room for more! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menus soon! :)

First, I wished they designed the parking lot better, design is absolute garbage. Lanes are cramped together. Now, for the restaurant. There are seats outside and inside. Service is decent. If you check in with Yelp, you get a free baklava but you have to spend at least $25 to get it. The beef shawarma wrap was good, meat was flavorful. Only criticism is that the meat could be a little more tender. I love the garlic sauce.The beef shawarma bowl on the other hand, the meat was a bit dry and too chewy. That's why one star was taken off. Rice was tasty. Prices are okay but you get a generous portion. Overall, I would come back and dine in just to give a second chance.

Morton Grove's best kept secret!This place is in an unassuming strip mall location just north of the Red Roof Inn. It has 1-2 tiny tables outside for dining al fresco and 2-3 tables inside with a handful of bar seats. Menu prices are at a premium for this Latin American-Mediterranean fusion. Think jibarito, tacos, and shawarma options. I myself tried the $15 steak jibarito, and the fried plantains were perfectly crisp and salty, steak juicy, and rounded out very nicely with the sauce, lettuce, and tomato. I can't wait to eat this again! If you are what you eat, my husband is on his way to evolving into a Philly cheesesteak bc he's eaten this for a meal weekly for what seems like the last couple months. Cultura's version is a hefty $20, but the serving is monstrous and would easily be 2 sittings for many people. My minis both had a cheeseburger ($9), which was juicy and delicious. I almost forgot to add that the yuca fries are strongly recommended! Generous serving for $5, well salted, and plentiful. All the food is prepared within eye shot behind the counter, and you can taste the freshness. #pipinghotWith a Yelp check in, you get a $5 valued box of baklava, which is nutty, sweet, crispy, and delicate. I'm not usually a fan of this dessert, but I enjoyed the offering here. See you soon, Cultura!

When I walked in, the person at the register was very friendly and welcoming. He wanted to make sure if I had any questions, he was there to answer.Today, I decided to try the Steak Argentinian Milanesa to go. The combination of breaded steak, egg, tomato, and golf sauce was perfect. The steak was tender and everything was made fresh. You can see them preparing everyone's orders from the register. It was pretty quiet when I was in there, but it was a bit of a late lunch for me. They also look like they are going to expand and take over the space next door. There's already a sign saying cultura steaks. I'll definitely be back soon since it's close to the office.
