Boricua! Just 4 miles west of downtown, Humboldt Park is a vibrant, simmering ethno-dimensional taco wrapped around a bustling 219-acre park. Historically diverse, culturally magnificent, with Scandinavian and Polish roots, Humboldt's now the beating heart of Chicago’s mighty Puerto Rican community. Suffice it to say, we’ve got it all: jibaritos, pierogis, ancient oaks, cold beer, cumbia, slow-pitch, good people.
Equally stunning and decrepit.
Over 800 varieties of craft beers are jammed into this tiny sliver of a shotgun bodega, alongside spirits, wine, general consumables, weekly homemade salsa that never disappoints, and a year-round selection of magically-always-perfectly-ripe avocados. Store owner Junior will charm your pants off regaling you with stories about hot peppers, obscure beer varietals, and how best to cook that zucchini on the grill.
