October 1, 2017- The food here is amazing. One of the best Cuban Sandwiches I've had. Great Chicken Enchiladas. Try the tostones (crisp plantains), they are delicious.

Delightful restaurant! Delicious food and excellent service! I recommend this place to anyone that wants to try some Latin inspired dishes.Daniela Rus
August 13, 2018 Good food. Good service. It's nice to have a variety of Latin American dishes. We have many excellent Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood. This adds both Cuban and Puerto Rican Specialties to the mix.

Third time here. Love the fresh ingredients from the salsa to the fresh lime juice in the margaritas! The margaritas are the best! Had the Ropa Vieja which was delicious! Also started with the Cuban Empanadas which were delicious. So glad we have a great margarita place In the neighborhood!!

7/13/2018 I always bring my friends and family here and it's always been a fan favorite. Every margarita we have gotten has been delicious. They are also very accommodating and make a tofu jibaritos on request I hope it becomes a menu item in the future.

Taco Dinner/ nice price.
I was not expecting white butter rice with tacos? That was not a blend.
That was the turn off.
Pico De Gallo Great! Taco avergae. Service was good.
Wait time from order to Receiving was a little long, for a taco dinner.
20-25 minutes?
Great location, friendly and clean!

6/15/2018 - I absolutely LOVE this place! The food is always fresh, cooked well, and delicious. The service is quick and very friendly! I have some dietary preferences and they are super accommodating. I also love the variety on the menu. My favorite thing is to get a burrito and french fries. Odd combo, and I'm glad they have it all! I have never had a bad meal here, and I have come here dozens of times! I have always been really happy. 100000/10 I would recommend!

We stopped in to South of the Border for an impromptu late lunch recently. Not a fancy place, but they had good food and a welcoming staff. There's a compact selection of familiar pan-Latin dishes (e.g., tacos, arepas, cubano, ropas viejas, etc), and a similarly compact selection of beverages. Our taco dinners were fresh, plump & tasty; with three tacos, beans and rice, they were filling & thrifty. It's a nice alternative in this neighborhood - definitely on my short list next time I'm up that way.

Ordered the Jibarito, and it is a cheap version of the original. Hard salty meat, soggy platano... their fries are those supermarket bag fries. The arroz con gandules was bland, and the cup it came in was half full. This place is a slap in the face to the Latino community.

8/11/2019 Friendly staff, yummy margaritas, and decent Bru menu. Have some chilaquiles, basic eggs, or a jibarito! Wonderful addition to the Rogers Park neighborhood. It's low key and you can use your Touch Tunes app to play some tunes.

7/29/2018- Cuban lady from Miami over here! I was very skeptical about the Cuban food since they do Mexican and Puerto Rican food as well... But I ordered for delivery and was very pleasantly surprised!
I had the ropa vieja and the guac with tostones. The ropa vieja and white rice were on point!! The guac was super fresh. The maduros were perfectly cooked, just soft enough with ever so slightly crispy edges.
One thing to note is that everything was under-salted. Once I added salt, the FLAVORS were all good.. that's the hard part. Adding salt is easy. Also, the black beans were not my favorite but everyone has their own idea of what black beans should taste like.. and they're always best when they're homemade.
I'll definitely try more dishes from here in the future just based on the quality of the guac, ropa vieja, maduros, and rice! Susan R.
1/18/2019 Why did we wait until now to come in? Excellent food, drinks, service. I loved the spicy pineapple margarita. The fish tacos were fabulous. KM had the Arepos and all I can say is that you dont need and order of guac with those. Everything was great. Looking forward to our next trip.
