>> "Looking for a hangout where the trendsetters have yet to set and parking is easy? Head straight for Cafe 28...In this part old-world coffee house, part tropical dream, somehow even the ceiling fans seem to keep time with bouncy samba and salsa tapes."
>> "Raters are high on the eclectic food, ample portions, and reasonable prices. "One of the best restaurants in the city for the money," says one. "Outstanding food," raves another. Main courses range from a low-key Cuban steak sandwich with plantains, yuca, and black beans and rice to a more haute chicken with portobello mushroom sauce. Service is prompt and friendly."
>> "Latin lovers laud this "locationally challenged" Lakeview Cuban-Mexican, a "little place with a big kick" and a "fun drink list", where "fabulous flavors bursting" from "creative dishes make for exciting and satisfying" dining; P.S. you'll be "treated like family" at the "innovative [Sunday] brunch."
Café 28 is a family-owned restaurant established in 1995. We are located near the brown line train station on Irving Park Road.
Our aim is to provide service in traditional Cuban and Mexican style with an eclectic latin twist. Come join us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and indulge yourself with one of our "famous" mojitos cocktails at one of our bars along with our green tamales appetizer.
Then if you still have room, enjoy one of our great desserts, such as the Tres Leches cake prepared by our very own pastry chef & family friend, Maria. You can also enjoy a great meal on our patio, which is surrounded by beautiful colorful flowers and plants to enhance the environment.
