For two star Cuban, try Cafe Cubano in Elmwood Park. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This place features a full bar and hardwood floors. This place is good for groups.

The GOOD: Not much good to say about this. I would give this place 1 star because my food was not good at all, but 2 people in our group of 5 liked theirs so I had to give an extra star. It could've...
