“Tonight was bomba night our puerto Rican heritage music my favorite.”
“Serving excellent authentic Puerto Rican food on Chicago's Paseo Boricua! Always fresh. True Boricua vibe. 🇵🇷”
“Staff is very friendly, live music is inviting and dynamic. The food is great, expected of Puerto Rican cuisine. The atmosphere is great, and the food is even better!”
“This place was amazing. The staff was so sweet and friendly. We ordered the sampler and the mofongo relleno de camarones!! The mofongo! Flavorful and moist… not dry! The salsa criolla was divine and big and plenty of shrimp! The sampler was perfect to try a little of everything! Pernil was perfectly cooked. If you are in the area GO!”
