La Bruquena in Chicago

The best chicharon de pollo Con tostones ever

HORRIBLE SERVICE. Closed over 45 minutes before 11:30. If you guys don’t close at 11:30 then change it and the door was open. If you guys were closed the door should’ve been locked. But in all my experiences and my experience working at a restaurant you’re supposed to assist anyone who comes in before the closing time until they’re done. Won’t be coming here again.

Love the food the admopher family oriented.great music and Chris the best bartender ever ❤️

We had so much fun. The owners treated us so nice and we received such great service. The music was great and the food was amazing.

Nice Puertorrican restaurant. No ac because a good neighbor stole it. It is a little bit expensive.

Really liked this place. Live music, food and drinks. Seating inside and out. The feel of La Bruquena is "Chicago", "Latino", "Humboldt Park" "Hot Summers and cool drinks" "People you have known for years." Cannot wait to go back!

Always the best time. If you know you know.

Amazing!! The best puertorican food.

Great place and costumer service. The owner started La Rumba. Just like home in Puerto Rico. Priceless.

The Best in Chicago 🇵🇷 Food

This is an amazing local Puerto Rican place! If you're in Humboldt Park you should definitely stop in for a bite. I was there late in the evening and it was very lively which made for a great atmosphere. I'll definitely return to try something new again!

The food Was Delicious Mostly everything is pretty good you can't really go wrong You have to come by and try for yourself

Cookie is a Great And Attentive Server. But all the ones that are there besides her.... Not At All THEY DO NOT PAY ATTENTION. Hopefully ROBERTO WILL Find Other EMPLOYEES As Great As COOKIE/JEANNIIE...MY HUSBAND N I PREFER HER ALWAYS HANDS DOWN

Great food awesome people

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 restaurant has evolved so much over time! Their food is delicious and drinks are spectacular! It's a great location for adults and children, pots the owner is always visible and helpful!

Good friendly service good food and no waiting

Loved it and the staff wonderful. Marcelo awesome

Great vibes, amazing food and live music! What else do you need? Drinks... they have those too. Don't miss out!

This my favorite place

Authentic family run business that makes you feel like your in the family as well!

Atmosphere is great good location food didn’t have as much flavor as I was hoping. Presentation of food was nice though. To bad when I came they were out of some foods

Cookie is the best! She pulled out all the stops with her service today and the food..... We go clear to Division from Magnificent Mile to eat here!

I had the bacalao guisao and verdura small portion, no flavor $18 over price

Cocktails are fantastic & strong Food delicious. Great atmosphere.

Good food, great service. Get the fried pork chops you will not regret it!

Great place for breakfast and brunch!Wait times: get there early in the morning for no wait. We waited maybe 2 minutes about 30 minutes after opening.Service: very friendly service and very quick. Gets your order right. Makes appropriate suggestions. Seemed knowledgeable about menu.Food: delicious as you would expect from the pictures! Really great pancakes. And the fruit tasted fresh! Their chai wasn't traditional Indian chai but it was still decent. It is quite heavy food, but it's what you get, and it's quite tasty! I will say their portions are quite big so consider sharing itemsAtmosphere: it's very Clean and fresh looking. Noisy but more on the lively side and not annoying. Really clean tables and bathrooms.It's a nice place to go eat near the magnificent mile. Nice food. I have had comparable food elsewhere but this was also really great!

The service was slow and they got the some of the orders wrong. We had a group of five, we paid the bill and on top of that we left a nice tip since we go there quite often. We didn't notice that on the bill they had charged us a gratuity tip for five people which I thought gratuity tip are for group of six or more. As a customer I felt deceived and I won't be going to that restaurant anytime soon.

The food is amazing. Super fresh.

Best Puerto Rican restaurant in Chicago. Worth it. Great service, great music, great food!!!! 😍

One of my brother's favorite places to eat, drink, and enjoy Latin music. We went to hang out for a while to celebrate his birthday. We enjoyed ourselves! The food was authentic and tasty, the drinks were delicious as well, and the staff was friendly! We plan to go again since this is a nice place. I recommend La Bruquena. You also pay reasonable prices for the menu items, and the quality is good. The only reason I rate 4 is because it is a small place.

Wonderful food ,just as good as it is in puerto rico, and service sis the best ,smiling faces and good enviroment ,will definitedly come back soo n

Original culture food. Pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a great dinner.

Amazing the food was great and service perfect The owner Roberto Tañon came out to check how we liked our food !!

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.

First time trying a jibarito sandwich. I will make the hour trek to Humboldt Park just to have theirs again! Fantastic food, good atmosphere.

Great place to eat. Been going since I was a kid. Now my kids get to enjoy the food too

People are nice and clean place.

I loved it! the carne guisada reminded me of my mom's 💙

Good place good people nice atmosphere.

The food and service was very good. We really enjoyed the seafood paella. We also enjoyed some fun live music with our meal.

Great atmosphere. Visited pretty late so what i wanted to order was not available. But was still very satisfied with what i ended up eating. Will definitely come back for more.

Great place to get Puerto Rican food and great music Boricuas Paseo

Great place to have some really good Puerto Rican food. Great ambient, music and great people.

The best Puerto Rican cuisine you can get in Chicago!

Excellent food. Nice atmosphere

Great Food, Great Customer Service and Fantastic, Authentic Atmosphere!! Friendly Staff and makes you feel right @ HOME!

The food was decent(7/10). Natural juice seemed like it was artificial. Prices were a bit high($10 for a jibarito). The best part was the live music.

Loved this bar restaurant in Humboldt Park! Food was tasty, people friendly, and ambiance amazing! Service left a bit to be desired, however, but I think I went at a weird time of day.

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.
