In
our first visit we almost didn't make
it on time to order our dinner, but thanks to
the friendly and forgiving owners, that let us in
even a couple of minutes after closing time, we
were able to enjoy a delicious Cuban dinner. The
decoration of the place is very entertaining (old
newspaper clips), which can save a boring blind
date. Great black beans, ropa vieja, pastelitos,
Cuban coffee. We look forward to our next visit.

been waiting for this restaurant to open and it
didn't dissapoint us. The ropa vieja has a taste
of "home" and the empanadas are delicious.
Everything is reasonably priced. We're so lucky
we live across the street! Amor

of their finest achievement, the Cuban sandwich. Get
that and then some, at 90 Miles Cuban Café,

CUBA
LIBRE Even post-Fidel, Cuba might be forbidden country,
but chef-owners Alberto and Christine Gonzalez hope that
after stepping into 90 Miles Cuban Café, the island
won’t feel so far out of reach. In order to get “the
rustic feel of Cuba” that he remembers from his childhood,
Alberto hauled 100-year-old wood from a barn in Wisconsin
and plastered the walls with his collection of pre-Castro
newspapers. But the food is where things really get personal.
On a recent vacation to Spain, the couple fell in love with
“the intimate feel” of the tapas restaurants
they wandered into, and they wanted to create a neighborhood
place of their own. It doesn’t require a trip across
any ocean to guess that their signatures—like pulled-pork-and-plantain
and “Cuban style”–tofu sandwiches—will
be a welcome addition to restaurant-barren Hamlin Park.
