Tropicuba

At first glance the place is very clean and welcoming! Very friendly staff and great music!I got the 1/2 chicken with white rice, pink beans and yucca con mojo, which is oil and garlic sauce. The chicken breast was a little dry but the thigh and drumstick were perfectly seasoned! Beans were a little soupy but tasty.I also got tostones which were incredible! Fried perfectly and served with mayochup and mojo sauces on the side. It's very close to my neighborhood so I'll be a regular for sure.

Authentically delicious!!Checked out this local spot for the first time and was impressed with the tasty authentic grub, good prices, and great staff. My meal= Chicken Stew (w/ white rice & black beans) and Maduros (Sweet Plantains)Will surely be returning and recommend others do so too!

Tropicuba is a neighborhood cuban (but also Puerto Rican) joint that has amazing food.My friend and I both got the ropa vieja which is probs the best ropa vieja I've ever had. Tender meat, cooked perfectly, in a sauce that is heart, filling, juicy and just wonderful. It also came with sides! It came with fried plantains and rice. It seems like there's different types of rice and the one I had had pork and beans in it so just a heads up on that.In addition I had fried yucca which was perfect, slightly sweet, and comforting. I also had a passion fruit agua which was really nice!All in all a great meal here and a lovely neighborhood spot! Great prices, great service, truly a neighborhood gem!

For my money, Chicago's Cuban eateries provide some of the best value meals in town. On this visit, I stopped in at Tropicuba with my daughter, who lives nearby. We were in search of a quick breakfast before heading to a morning class we had booked. Tropicuba hit the mark with a super tasty, affordable and substantial bacon and egg sandwich and a delicious cafe con leche to get me going. Service was prompt and attentive. Definitely looking forward to going back when I'm not in a rush to try a Cuban sandwich and some of the many tempting sides on offer.

I came across this charming little Cuban restaurant one day while driving through the Logan Square area. I'm glad I came back to try the eats! The Cuban fried rice with chicken will make your knees buckle. It comes with a side of plantains. The pastries and empanadas are worth tasting as well. The server was extremely nice and personable. The art on the walls was bright and lovely.

Ordered take-out. Cuban sandwich was good. Not a huge fan of them to begin with but it was good. Yucca was very good and they gave a huge portion.....felt like it weighed at least a pound. Came with white garlic sauce and a hot sauce.Espresso was amazing. Huge, huge fan.Chicken stew was very, very good. They piled on the Cuban rice. Take-out carton weighed a ton. Really good portion of chicken stew...and they threw in some plantains and bread.Check-in with Yelp yielded a free beef empanada. Was good though again here I am not a huge fan of empanadas.Inside is very inviting and not overwhelming. Very relaxing and colorful. Will be back to dine in as well. Was very, very happy with the take-out.

Steak sandwich is very good especially with cafe con leche! Definitely recommend!! The waitress was also very nice

Placed an order for pick up and the lady that was there didn't know what I was talking about. She asked me if I called the right location so I called the restaurant in front of her to make sure it was the right number . She proceeded then to ask for my order.... Long story short she said they don't start making the food until it is paid for... what's the point of a pick up order or a to go order if it's not going to be ready by the time you arrive to pick up your order?!? Granted I took about 10 mins longer to arrive.

Great customer service and food!!! Love dining in this location in the heart of Humboldt Park.

So I tried this place for the first time last year and loved their steak sandwich! It's such a good price for how large and tasty it is, but unfortunately this review isn't about that experience. I just ordered a steak sandwich via Uber Eats and I was so excited to eat this sandwich for a second time. I thought it looked different as I was unwrapping the sandwich, but I shrugged it off thinking it had been a while since I last had it. I started taking bites and I was thinking to myself how different it was and then by my second bite I had a giant chunk of bone in my mouth (I'm lucky I didn't break my teeth) That's when I knew something was wrong. They sent me a completely random pork sandwich that wasn't even seasoned by the way. If it was yummy I would've been less annoyed, but alas I was left with disappointment and a pork sandwich with melted cheddar cheese :(Definitely do not order from this place on Uber Eats but if you go in person get the Pan con Bistec and some tres leches (which isn't offered on Uber Eats and that's the real crime)
