I was in the city to see a musical downtown and we made it a point to stop in for dinner. This restaurant does not disappoint. Traditional Puerto Rican food cooked just like Mom would, with love. Very, very tasty indeed. The mofongo with fried pork is my favorite. I’ll be back!
It was awesome!! One of the best Chuleta Can Can's I've ever had...The cocktail alcapurrias were great (I'm very picky about my favorite food)...Andres was funny, courteous and made our experience the absolute BEST!!
We are from NJ/PA and would DEFINITELY recommend it and we hope to go back to this piece of heaven again.
Se botaron!! ��
The Jibarito was the best I've had in a long time!! Meat was perfectly tender making it so easy to eat unlike some I've had from other places.. Great atmosphere great music!!�
The food was good but the service was amazing. Andrés treated us like queens. Best mojito ever. We really enjoy our lunch there
Went there with my husband and granddaughter after a school activity yesterday. And we happen to bump into friends that were there already, we had a blast. The staff treat everyone like family and the food is excellent, really good, finger licking good. The mofongo and morcillas are my guilty pleasure. Great ambience very relaxing. And btw they keep the bathroom clean, which is another plus.
Very wonderful family setting. Authentic as it gets. Very nice family staff. Number one place to go for Puerto Rican food.
I grew up in Humboldt Park and been eating there for decades. I've seen people come and go including staff members..
The Food has always been and continues to taste great even today.. They also have take out which we ordered a lot.. From the 80's until now 5 star's
�� Best puertorican food in Chicago, very nice and clean place, very attentive staff �
Family friendly great food owner's great people nice music
Absolutely delicious and authentic Puertorrican food. Everybody was very welcoming from the staff to the other costumers. The PR sampler was incredible. I haven't had morcilla in years flavor was great just like I remember from growing up in Puerto Rico.
Authentic! I ate all of my food which is rare for me. I'm Mexican and it's only my third time getting Puerto Rican Food, I would eat here again.
Great family owned restaurant. A true pillar of the community with amazing food, excellent service and awesome atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
Was there to meet a friend and have a beer, great ambiente y great musica.
food service could be faster since there was 1 table when we arrived . Friendly bartender. Very yummy hot food! Nice and clean .
The absolute best Puerto Rican food - and perhaps the best preparation of Red Snapper I ever had, go there, it's great ambiance and fantastic food!
Serving excellent authentic Puerto Rican food on Chicago's Paseo Boricua! Always fresh.
I went to heaven. Excellent Puerto Rican food!!! Had to chance to meet the owner. Very chatty, amable y simpático. Going back very soon!
This year's visit to the annual Puerto Rican People's Festival was hampered by the rain here and there. Either way, this establishment turned out to be one of the best places to enjoy the parade. It had cheap prices and good service. In addition they had music with live instruments later on in the night. All-in-all this is a great place to have some food and have a cold one.
Fluffy and flavorful rice with delicious sandwich! The owners (and regular customers) are so friendly. This place is always so lively and cozy. Full of fun and positive energy.
I been eating at this place since the 80s. One of the best food restaurant in Chicago.
Omg. Food was so good I teared up with memories of my G-mas cooking. Awesome food.
First time visitors in from Maryland. In Maryland we can’t get quality comida criolla often. We highly recommend this food for anyone looking for quality authentic Puerto Rican food, stop looking! La Bruquena checks every box. Direct quotes from my two kids:
8 year old son: “I’m in heaven”
12 year old daughter: “this is soul food”
For those with kids, you know how hard it is to find food that they like. The staff and owner are a pleasure. We had great conversations. Highly recommend.
