What Happened to 90 Miles Cuban Cafe After Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 15, Episode 3 Aired August 19, 2012

On the August 2012 Savory Standouts episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri stopped at this Logan Square cafe for its pressed Cuban sandwiches, built on family recipes the Gonzalez family brought from Cuba. The cafe operated at 2540 West Armitage Avenue in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood after opening in the late 2000s, later adding a second, smaller location in Roscoe Village. Its cubano sandwiches and Cuban coffee had made it a fixture on Fieri's show and in the neighborhood. According to Block Club Chicago, a Chicago nonprofit news outlet, the Roscoe Village location closed and the Logan Square location faced eviction proceedings in early January 2025, and a follow-up Block Club Chicago report later that month found no signs of activity at the Logan Square address.

Owner Alberto Gonzalez built the Chicago cafe's menu around his grandmother's Cuban recipes, including the slow-roasted pork that Fieri also singled out during the original Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives stop.
