Media Noche Cafe - Berwyn

I have gotten the Bowls of Lechón and it was amazing. My family and I have got catering from here and it was delicious. The people are also super nice. Inside the restaurant is very nice too.

The guava and cream pastries were probably the best I've ever had! Everything was freshly cooked. The fried plantains were delicious. The owners were friendly. I will definitely be returning.

I recently hosted a family party at Media Noche Cafe, and Michelle and her team did an amazing job! The food was delicious, and Michelle was very helpful in creating a menu. I would definitely recommend them again!

Geographically, I did the reverse of what many people aim to do in life I was born and grew up in the Miami area, and settled in Chicago after meeting my wife in college (a native of Garfield Ridge . My grandmother was originally from Camguey in central Cuba, and I spent many childhood days at her little apartment in Hialeah living on Moros y Cristianos, Cuban bread, arroz con pollo, etc. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find that there was a Cuban restaurant in Berwyn, not far from my house and decided earlier this week to give it a shot. I ordered a sampling of what I would have had back in the day: croquettes, papa rellena, chicken soup, an empanada, and a dulce de leche pasetlito for my daughter. The staff was very nice and attentive. I loved the decor of the place, a vibrant Cuban aesthetic with images of Celia Cruz (who actually lived down the street from my grandmother years ago in Cuba, before she became famous . Now onto the food itself Take it from someone who was raised eating Cuban food as a kid in South Florida, my little sampling was great, and pretty darned authentic. The picadillo at the center of the papa rellena was right on target, as were the croquettes and the beef empanada, which my wife loved in particular. The excellent chicken rice soup was reminiscent of the soupy version of arroz con pollo and loaded with flavor. If you want something in the Berwyn/Stickney/ Garfield Ridge area that 's a bit of a departure from the ubiquity of Mexican cuisine but has all the pop that 's expected of Latin American flavoring, this is your ticket. My next trip will be for their namesake (a medianoche sandwich!

The Jibarito was delicious! You eat well here! I enjoyed a fantastic meal, great conversation, and excellent service. This is a perfect place to come with a friend, family, or just treat yourself! I also loved their selection of tasty desserts. I'm so grateful that someone recommended this place to me.
