Diner reviews of Café 787
A diner from Chicago
Oct 9, 2010
This restaurant sucks so bad, I don't even know where to begin. No one greets you. The tables are dirty. The staff is frazzled and unprofessional. The carne frita is soooo peppery, you can't enjoy it. The tostones are undercooked and have zero flavor. Despite their full bar, the wine tasted like it had been opened last week. (They did however, open a fresh one.) Don't ask for a slice of avocado, cuz the server will tell you that the plate of avocado will cost $3.95. "Well, how about just a slice or two? "Oh, no, sorry." We wanted dessert because we were still hungry since we didn't enjoy our meal. But guess what? No desserts...not even a measely flan from the grocery store!! What a joke this place is. Save your money, people!!
