If no Cuban, then I am certainly open to suggestions.

Depending upon your evening time frame, there are some good/unique dining places out here (Chowpatti, Mitsuwa, Shaw's, Greek Village Taverna, etc) or we could head downtown.

If we get to Arlington at approximately post time for the first race, what time would we leave for dinner?
I'd be happy to eat either by Arlington or downtown; I'm staying near ORD.

If post time is 3, you'd probably be able to get in seven races before leaving for dinner at 6. That would put you at a surburban location by 7, or downtown by 7:30.
If dinner is downtown, I'd probably skip the track and make dinner. If dinner is in the suburbs, I should be able to make the track by the start of the 3rd race.

Not too far west, as I have to get to 355 eventually. But I detest sushi...

Looks like nothing from the outside (in a strip mall), but the chefs attitude is that if the food is good enough, location isn't important.

As long as they have one teriyaki or tempura dish, I'll be fine...
