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.
When a cafe has over ten crepe options(!), you know you're in the right place. The mother-daughter duo that run the kitchen do not mess around. The menu's built to please: decadent omelettes and pastries served every morning, gooey paninis, and strong coffee. But the real gems are the Ukrainian specialties: homemade Borsch (so beety, so delicious) and varenyky, a pierogi that will warp your sense of dumpling reality.
