If you are ever in Chicago, and want some good Cuban-style food, try out a place called Cafe 28 in Lakeview. It has yummy appetizers, consistently well-prepared main dishes, and a wide choice of wines to go with your meal. I took a friend with eclectic tastes there; he just moved into town. It gets packed on the weekends, but on weeknights it is not too long a wait for a table.
