In video shared with ABC7 Chicago, the burglars are seen jumping over the counter as they ransacked the store.
"Its frustrating," the owner of Mima's Taste of Cuba said. "You pay your taxes; you're trying to do the right thing out here and the criminals just keep... breaking into small businesses."
The restaurant owner said the two suspects took off with $3,000.
"It's becoming almost a normal thing in the city of Chicago," the owner added.
Chicago police confirmed the robberies happened around 4 a.m. in the 2900-block of Irving Park Road.
The owner of the Cuban restaurant added that a neighboring Serbian restaurant called Cafe Beograd was also targeted.
Police said burglars broke in through a window and took a cash register.
