I love La Cocina Boricua! Went to dinner tonight and ate like a king! It's BYO but there are 2 liquor stores within a block. I recommend it to anyone...a great meal at a great price!

Off the beaten track, this family run Puerto Rican restaurant exudes warmth & hospitality. The small dining room is inviting, romantically lit & adorned, with the feel of actually dining in a local eatery in P.R. The two women who run it, one apparently doubles as Cook, are friendly & attentive making you feel right at home. As soon as you are seated, a complimentary tasty bowl of meaty noodle soup arrives with bread. The Menu is classic P.R. (carribean) fare, with many pork & chicken dishes, stews, & grilled steaks. But, don’t skip the appetizers, esp. the Combo for $7.95 - includes oh-so-tasty Empanadas, Alcapurria (deep fried mix of ground plaintains, taro root, & ground beef), Maduros (fried sweet plantain), Tostones (plain fried plaintain), and delicious Relleno de papa (potato filled pastry with beef in the middle). Also don’t miss the homemade hot sauce accompaniment. For main courses, our choices of Carne Guisada (Beef Stew) and Carbrito an Fricase (a stew of baby goat cooked in special wine sauce), were wonderful & perfect for a snowy Chicago night. Main courses are very reasonably priced from 7.95-9.95. Popular with the locals, are sandwiches, including steak, chicken, roast pork, & ham & cheese for only $5.95. Best of all, it’s BYOB. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (Frankly, it was a real dilemma whether to submit a review, or keep this hidden gem all to ourselves & the knowledgeable locals. Lucky for u all, I chose to be egalitarian. The rest is up to you).
