Great Presentation, Good Prices, Tasty Cuban Food. I wish their parking was a bit bigger, but it is still better than most.

When I eat at an ethnic restaurant one of the surefire ways I can tell that I had a 5 star eating experience is when I find myself thinking that I need to find a woman from that country to marry so that I can eat that type of food for the rest of my life. So my question is, does anybody out there know a nice single Cuban lady in her 40s who also knows how to cook Cuban food and would like to meet an older fat white man? Ok, I've rambled on long enough so I'll move on to the information you really want. I'll start with the service. I told the young lady that I needed to look at a menu so I could place a to go order and she was very friendly and didn't seem the least bit put off by the fact that she wouldn't receive a tip from serving me at a table (I do tip on carry-out orders since they are providing some service, it's just not as large of a percentage as if I were dining in but servers don't know that when I place my order). Some servers turn off all friendliness when they hear the words carry-out, but I'm happy to report this young lady was still kind and attentative to my needs. When I explained to her that I'd never eaten Cuban food before and wanted to know if a particular dish was spicy she informed me in a friendly way that it was not the least bit spicy. So all that to say I found the service was top notch even for a carry-out order which unfortunately is not the case at all restaurants. Now on to the most important impression. The flavor! I can't honestly say that Cuban food will become my favorite food although it certainly is one of my top 5 foods, but I can say with certainty that I'll be coming back here many times in the future. As a matter of fact I'll be going back tomorrow to try one of their sandwiches. Tonight I had the Cuban style steak fajitas and rice with black beans in them. All I can say is I loved it! The fajitas actually kind of reminded me of Filipino flavors since it had a little bit of a twangy flavor like adobo. It was some good stuff! I'm looking forward to going back many times in the future and trying lots more of the items on their menu. Good job Senor Pan!!!! read more

Small portions for the price, but the food is good. Their mariquitas are the best, the empanadas are flavorful. The lechon is delicious, but it's a small serving. The papas rellenas are also tiny, more like hordevours. Despite the tiny portions, the food delivers big flavor. read more

After a party night in Chicago, next day me and my boy got up hungry!!!! and yelping for breakfast places I found señor pan. We got an AWESOME deal on yelp, for $20.00 we could spend $40.00 which I found it a lot of money for breakfast. At the beginning I wasn't sure to go or not because it was out of my area but and the end we decided to go. When I walked to the restaurant I found it so nice just when I walked in. Place look very clean was packed and smell like yummy Cuban food. Me and my boy ordered right away Cuban cortadito (coffee) and a trio of empanadas and and must say WOW. Coffee was just on point it was so delicious probably best coffee so far in Chicago. Empanadas had enough meat inside and were tasty. Then we ordered our main dishes I ordered pork roast with Cuban rice (rice with black beans) and fry yuca. My boy ordered deep fry pork cube Cuban rice and plantain. I can't not express myself how AMAZING was this food it was so good everything and they serves so much we both have to take it to go. This Cuban place is def in my top 10 best restaurants I have been in the city is very hard for me to give 5 Stars but señor pan deserve it. Place, waitress, atmosphere, coffee, appetizers, food everything was excellent. read more

See all

First time I went here everything was great. The 2nd time the food was still great but Jamena was a bad waitress!! She brought the food out but no silverware and rarely visited our table. Didnt like that they automatically added a gratuity because we used a yelp deal read more

Dang it! I may have found a Cuban spot to beat my beloved La Unica on Devon, this place has rib sticking,soulful cuban dishes in aces. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu though I would recommend the Ropa Vieja or anything with pork (nothing beats good ol swine (= ) the rice ordered "congri" style is best and empanada starters is a great way to wet the palate, location is clean and updated with limited parking, good attentive service and dark lovely cuban coffee to wash it all down with.....this is THE Cuban spot, Enjoy read more

This is a pretty good place to stop in whenever you are hungry, I love the Guava Pies they have I couldn't stop eating them, I'm giving it 4/5 stars because they took because of service issues but it was great overall. read more

We all have our favorites but there is no denying that in the States there is no better Cuban food than Miami, individually and collectively Miami is tops for Cuban food. That said, a person can find bright spots all across America for good authentic Cuban food. Senor Pan is such a place. The Ropa Vieja was outstanding, the jamon croquettas and the fried plantains were perfect. A really great place for the some fantastic Cuban staples. read more

While visiting Chicago my family and I decided to try this place based on the good yelp reviews. We were seated immediately and they didn't take long to take down our orders. Everyone in my family ordered a sandwich except me. They all raved about their sandwiches and after tasting some I can say they tasted okay. Unfortunately, I had their arroz congri, lechon and yuca con mojo and although it was edible it didn't feel like authentic Cuban food. The rice was dry, the pernil wasn't seasoned that well and the yuca had some what of a fishy taste to it. I've lived in Florida and my mother in law is Cuban and unfortunately what I ordered couldn't compare to what Ive had before but their sandwiches and coffee are worth a shot. Also, don't expect the waitstaff to be too engaging. read more

Love the ropa vieja sandwich! Mmmm if I ate this as much as I craved it, I would be in trouble. Always good food, sometimes the service is lacking especially when they are very busy. read more

This place is DELICIOUS. It was my second time trying Cuban food & I fell in love all over again. I had the steak w onions as well as the Don Salomon drink & it was perfect! Definitely recommend to anyone. read more

My Wife was craving Ropa Vieja, after having it in Miami, so we stopped in after hearing great things. The food here is awesome. The beef empanadas are the best I've ever had anywhere. She thoroughly enjoyed her dish, and the steak I had was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting authentic Cuban food. Whatever you do, don't leave without trying the coffee! Parking can be a tough feat, but it's worth it. read more

Food is great. As good as my mom. The guava pastries is as good as the ones from Miami. Even better in my opinion. The only thing I do not like is the service. My girlfriend loves the café con leche. Been there around 4 times. Never had bad meal. Lechon Asado, congri, Pollo Guantanamera, ect... You can't go wrong. Best Cuban food anywhere around here. Love this place. Very clean and always busy. read more

Took my brother and sister-in-law to try out Cuban food and señor pan did not disappoint! Very tasty Cuban sandwich, ham croquettes, and ropa vieja. Amazing cortadito and pastel De guava y queso. Will definitely be coming back again and again. :) read more

I've become a regular at this place. Although I always order the same thing, it's always consistent and delicious. Sandiwch de Bistec (have to add swiss & avocado), a side of tostones, and a mojito or two. Meal and drinks reasonably priced and you will not leave hungry. MUCH better than 90 Miles by FAR. Great atmosphere and big but cozy dining area that seems less kitchy/more authentic than 90 Miles. The only reason why I don't give Senor Pan a FIVE is because I find that the customer service waivers a bit. Last weekend I came in to use the Yelp deal and our server had no idea what I was talking about and gave me a little sass. Other than that, always satisfying! read more

Absolutely the best! Outstanding food- best choices to date would be the classic Cubano sandwich and the steak sandwich which are always done to perfection - the grilled bread is so good! Mariquitas- fried plaintain chips with their garlic sauce is a "must have." Have been here many times and am always eager to go back! REALLY good food! Good service! Nice people! My favorite spot in the whole city! (note- the parking can be tight but well worth the effort, consider it a lesson in patience!) read more

Great food! Great service! I got the standard Cubano with plantain chips so yum. The flan is also excellent choice! Thanks yelp for the coupon! read more

Great service and amazing food!! The manager went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.

Great food and staff is very friendly. Parking lot is small and at times full making it difficult to drive there.

Love love LOVED it.. UNTIL one day I had my regular steak sandwich with maduros and a piñacolada everything went great until I was about to take a bite of my sandwich and I noticed a dead fly in it! I was so disappointed and never again have I gone back ;( read more

I was so pleasantly surprised that this place delivers! We ordered from here twice and both times it's correct, piping hot and within the expected delivery time. read more

Place was excellent! Great food, music and service was amazing. Lets not forget the prices. Highly recommend it. .. Yvette Magaña was really nice. read more

Nice place but not so good food. My waitress was great and so was the service but my food was a let down extremely I had high hopes on this being my new Cuban place sadly I had my expectations very high but it was a let down. Marianao on Milwaukee and California is better and El Cubanito on Pulaski and Wrightwood is better although these places are smaller but they are worth the quality of the food. read more

As soon as I came into this restaurant, I knew the food was going to be good! I'm from Miami and my dad is Cuban so I know what good cuban food is. I ordered the lechon (which you can't find anywhere near Rogers park) with white rice, black beans, yucca con mojo and pastelitos de guava y queso. The lechon was sautéed with onions and seasoned very well. A little less salt and I would say it's perfect! The rice was good but the beans were okay. They needed a little more seasoning. Other than that they would be good indeed. The pastelitos were made fresh (just came out of the oven). Those babies were so good. I was on a hurry and wanted to try a cuban coffee...I will definitely be back! Maybe even move near this area. Apparently, this is where all the good food is. I gave this place 5 stars because the cashier was very friendly and attentive and they were playing good music. The restaurant itself is very clean and was put together very nicely. Man, I miss Miami and coming here made me miss it more. I can't wait to try their next dish! read more

Not sure if I caught them at the wrong time but nothing seemed very special about the food. Got the green fried plantains, half of which were tough/stale. The ones that weren't stale were pretty good but the garlic sauce was what made them very good. They should really bottle that sauce. In addition to the plantains I also ordered the Sandwich Cubano, pretty good but not great. The cheese tasted like the type you would get as singles. Overall, pretty good food, fun atmosphere and very good service. read more

I really wish I would be able to give a 5 star review. I placed an order for takeout and everyone was super duper nice. Fantastic service, really. Decent prices, nice looking restaurant. Food was not so spectacular. Really dry, pretty much seemed like it was sitting around for a while or maybe reheated. Has great potential and I hope to end up being a repeat customer. read more

I am glad to have found this place. The cafe con leche and cortadito were spot on. I would have preferred Cuban toast with flakier texture. I am looking forward to returning soon to try the dinner menu. That said, have a few menu requests/ suggestions: serving cafe in ceramic cups instead of just "to go" cups; offering eggs not only in sandwiches with toast on the side (or plantain and other omelets); and offering more non-meat Cuban foods...like shrimp, other types of fish, pastelitos de guayaba y queso, and sopa de platano, etc. Thank you! read more

love the cafe con leche. service is great. The restaurant is great, but i really like to order and pick up on my way to appointments

Was just there on Sun 8/17 after leaving the crappy D'Cuba rest for horrible service. I wasnt driving or I wouldve come here 1st, love this spot. Been here several times ! The service, food, waitresses are great. The waitress la flacita had a blast with us. Will be back soon. I am Cuban and they represent very well. read more

I really thought the waiters were really bad uneducated and not very polite the reason I will not come back here is for this reason. The manager and the ladies need better customer service. I feel the reason they were like this to me because I was with a white woman.The food was good tasting nice quality too bad the service was horrible. read more

pretty damn good....especially for the cheap prices......we had the shreddded pork platter, steak and onions and ropa viejo......the steak was the best for sure...i was actually slightly disappointed in the pork. we also had rice and beans....and patacones....which were both very good, just like we make here at home. i would for sure go back if i was in the area...but, keep in mind they serve no alcohol which kind of takes away from going out to dinner for me....so instead, you have to try the excellent cuban coffee.......the sweet breads were really good too. they are putting in a new ac unit too....the day we went it was broken.....so we enjoyed a very authentic cuban atmosphere that day. if you are in the neighberhood, stop in for a great experience.....but if you make the drive in from the burbs...you might not be blown away. read more

Excellent, excellent food. Service can be spotty sometimes as they always seem to be super busy. However, staff is very friendly. Definitely save room for their cafe con leche with a guava con queso pastelito (yummers!). Breakfast, lunch or dinner...you can't go wrong! read more

I had good and bad times. The staff was bad the first time (long waits and wrong orders) and good the second time (friendly) service at Senior Pan. Food (delicious and plenty) second time and bad (hair in and undercooked) food first time. The food was great, the bad was wait a year or so and hope for better. Enter at your own risk. 50/50 shot read more

Came here for a bite to eat. Ordered cafe com latte and sandwich de bistec. Sandwich and coffee was phenomenal. Will be looking forward to come here again. read more

The pulled pork sandwich is to die for. The pork is seasoned very well and not dry at all. Also the bread is fresh with a slight crunchy consistency. I also was able to taste the steak sandwich which was also really tasty. The steak well seasoned as well and not tough at all. If you're looking for a great sandwich joint this is the spot. read more

Great prices! Amazing customer service! My best friend who is cuban is very hard to please when it comes to finding a good cuban spots to eat. I was happy that this place was a winner. Epsecially with the Yelp Deal $40 worth of food for only $20. I had the Lechon Asado very flavorful and juicy. If you're looking for a Cuban restaurant Señor Pan is the place to go. I will be visiting this place soon with the whole family. read more

All I ordered was the steak sandwiches and man they were good. My son loved it so much he asked for another while we were there and another one to take home. Great environment and friendly staff. read more

Do not try the ropa vieja. It's so chewy hardly enjoyable. I poured the juice of the ropa vieja over my rice and basically just ate rice n beans. The steak sandwich was good but also chewy. I had take out but noticed the restaurant is very cute and service was friendly. Def wouldn't return from my side of town. The food isn't worth the travel. read more

Naturally, any worthwhile storefront Cuban restaurant will have ropa vieja. And of course it will have empanadas too. But I never thought to put them together to make a ropa empanada. Thankfully, Señor Pan did, and it's now one of three empanadas found in a new menu item, the cleverly named "trio de empanadas." (The other two are chicken and ground beef.) The ropa empanada is wonderful. Same with the chicken. The ground beef... eh, kind of bland. But that's OK because they come with a very lively dipping sauce that will zing it right up. I'm led to believe this sauce is a mix of ketchup, mustard and mayo. Yes it sounds gross, but it works surprisingly well. Other menu items I've had before are the steak sandwich (pretty good), the Cubano sandwich (really good), and the media noche sandwich (better still). Their sandwiches fall a little short of the benchmark I use for Cuban sammys, namely those served up by El Cubanito. But Señor Pan is a contender, plus unlike El Cubanito there's seating for more than two. In fact, unlike El Cubanito, it's a warm, inviting place to sit, relax, and enjoy your meal. This is one of those neighborhood gems where you can get an incredibly satisfying lunch for under ten bucks (including tax and tip!) while offering a nice alternative to burger/dog/gyro joints in the same price range. Be sure to get there early for dinner though; Cuban sandwich shops traditionally open early and close early, and Señor Pan is no exception. I'd give this place 4.5 stars if I could, because it's better than 4 stars but doesn't quite reach the perfection threshold for which I reserve 5-star ratings. This is a really solid place that's worth your attention. read more
