Cafe Laguardia Description:
Café Laguardia is a Chicago Cuban restaurant and bar located in the eclectic Bucktown Wicker Park area on the northwest side, about three miles from downtown.
Known in the neighborhood for it's friendly and welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect place for eating some home style Cuban food, drinking a cocktail or two from the fully stocked bar, or just relaxing in the couch area of the establishment next to the fireplace.
Recently increased seating capacity to 120, the food is Cuban/Tex-Max.
Intimate and far from expansive, this leopard printed spot packs a punch. Lots of hearty, reasonably authentic Cuban fare mixes it up with traditional Mexican dishes like tacos and burritos. But for our money, Cuban is the way to go here because big flavors come from the small kitchen. We like the Havana black bean soup, the Cuban sandwich of roast pork and the ropa vieja (flank steak that is cooked to the point of shredding). For the ultimate Cuban experience, the Sabor de Cuba, or Taste of Cuba, has to be considered. There's not a weak link in this food chain with its medallions of fried pork, ground beef and shredded beef, ham croquette, fried plantains, rice and cassava. An offshoot, Café LaGuardia West, is located on the fringe of Chicago near west suburban Oak Park.
