Chicago's Premier Cuban Restaurant
Awesome Cuban Cuisine at CafÉ Laguardia*
Julia Huff, Free Salsa Lessons, St. Patrick's Day...
At Cafe Laguardia, we really do try to make your dining experience a memorable one, from welcoming you as you set foot in the door to giving you space for conversation. We appreciate that some nights, you want a quiet romantic evening while on others, there is nothing wrong with listening to great live music, a little dancing and superb Cuban cocktails with a big group of friends. In March, we have something for everyone including an affordable yet fun St. Patrick's Day celebration.
On March 3, the soulful Julia Huff & the Company Band returns; enjoy some free salsa lessons on March 9; for St. Patrick's Day on March 17, we have a new reggae band called Birds of a Feather with some drink and food specials. Why spend hours lining up to get into a Bucktown bar or pub then be disappointed when you can enjoy quality food, drink and music at Cafe Laguardia?
If you live in the Oak Park area out west, stop by Cafe Laguardia West at 6818 West North Avenue and say hi to brother Jorge!
Sending our prayers and love to Haiti,
- Carlos and "Mom"

 Café Laguardia is known as one of the best Cuban Chicago restaurants, located in the Bucktown Wicker Park neighborhood on the northwest side, about three miles from downtown Chicago.
Well-known in the local neighborhood for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect place for eating some home-style Cuban food, trying some well-prepared Cuban drinks from the fully-stocked bar, or just relaxing in the leather couches next to the fireplace.
If you are lucky enough to meet host Carlos Laguardia, owner of the restaurant, and Mama Laguardia when you come for dinner or a cocktail, you can be sure of a warm welcome. Carlos will always remember you and Mama will always have a smile ready! See Carlos in his younger days!
Back in Bainoa, Cuba in 1950, Café Laguardia was a combination restaurant, grocery store and bar, strategically located in the center of town across the street from the main bus stop – actually,
the only bus stop in town. Now it's here in Chicago! Although a long way from Cuba, it retains the same atmosphere and charm, and the same superb Cuban food and drinks. They use the same Cuban recipes, the food is always hot and made to order, and the customers are always made to feel at home.
"We love our customers" is the Café Laguardia motto. "They are our family. If we can't serve them good quality home made Cuban food, we should get out of this industry. Good Cuban food is worth the wait!"
