Cafe 28
writes...
Café 28 is a family-owned restaurant established in 1995. Our aim is to provide service in traditional Cuban and Mexican style with an eclectic Latin twist. Come join us for dinner, lunch or weekend brunch, and indulge yourself with one of our "famoso" mojitos cocktails at one of our bars along with our green tamales appetizer.

My husband and I have been coming here since our very first date and every meal (dinner and brunch) has been fabulous and we are particular! The service is outstanding, the mojitos are incredible and we love the ceviche! The dishes are unique and we heard live music for the first time at our last experience at Cafe 28. The patio in the summer is ideal and the lighting at night is beautiful.

The server was so nice and attentive! The food was absolutely to die for and the Cafe Con Leche Horchata drink was divine.

This restaurant is always reliably great! The waiter forgot to bring leftovers to the table on a very busy night. We realized it after we were out the door. When I went back in and they couldn't find the leftovers, the owner had the kitchen make a whole new meal to go. That kind of service is why we continue to go back. The customer is the priority!

Cafe 28 was rocking on a Saturday night. Very crowded and very loud. We were only 2, so it was a bit too loud but would have been a great place for a group. Food was very good. Wine list has a number of nice selections at reasonable prices. Will definitely go back.

It had been a few years since we had been to this restaurant in North Center, but I'm glad to see it's still doing a thriving business. Still a great mix of traditional Cuban dishes and interesting experiments. The 3 scoops of gelato is a great way to finish without feeling gorged.

I am from mexico and found the chilaquiles yummy, although not quite authenic. Overall I think it is great to have this place in our neighborhood. I loved walking in for brunch to live music and when i found out they have flamenco nights I was most excited! I would recommend for the experience, the ambiance, and some yummy food. Not quite as authentic but certainly good!!!!
