"Delicious! Food is tasty and authentic. The mojo with the yuca frita is savory. The ambiance is chill. The interior seating is not much for a large group but great for a day date or hang with a couple friends. Parking is on the street. Service is excellent. Pay at the counter. Bathrooms are decent but not large enough for a wheelchair. Prices are reasonable. We are from the Chicago Restaurant Week menu. I recommend coming here. I’d come here again to dine on the patio when the weather warms up."

"We love how Mima's Taste of Cuba is designed and decorated. Friendly, polite and professional staff. We had croquettes, empanadas, steak dinner and chicken dinner with added shrimp. The dinner come with platano maduro (ripened, sweet, cooked plantains) so we order a side of tostones (fried plantains) for an extra savory bite. Delicious food and they offer cocktails. Helpful safety tip the restroom has one step down so if not paying attention you can trip. We will definitely go back and looking forward to trying other dishes and the summer outdoor dining area as well. They have a small parking lot as well if not street parking."

"Stopped in for restaurant week, food was great. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Price was about the same on RW versus not, so 1/2 of us ordered off menu. Regardless, would come back for the food. Mimas punch is a patio pounder that just needed a great patio (if it wasn’t -2 outside)."

"Visiting from Indianapolis for business, I spotted this place while walking my dog and snapped a photo so I wouldn’t forget to try it—and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the Jibarito (Cuban style) and a Beef Empanada with garlic sauce—both were amazing. The plantains were grilled to perfection, the meat was juicy and flavorful, and the empanada was crispy, packed full of beef, and perfectly cooked. If you’re in Irving Park, this is a must-try spot—and even if you’re not, it’s worth the drive!"
