Absolutely Wonderful Puerto Rican Dining Experience!
This restaurant offers a beautiful ambiance that perfectly complements its creative, fresh, and incredibly delicious food. The portion sizes are generous, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I especially appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of vegan and vegetarian options. The Arroz Con Gandules is a standout—rich in flavor and an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Marina's Bistro and Rum Bar offers fantastic service, a gorgeous and elegant ambience, and authentic, well-seasoned food that tastes like home-cooked comfort food from Puerto Rico. The food is absolutely amazing and cooked with love, featuring standout dishes such as beans and rice, marinated chicken, pork, fried cheese, plantains, the lechon asado, and slow roasted beef. The beef pastelillos are damn good amazing. The rum selection is excellent and the drinks are insane, complementing the vibrant, tropical upscale atmosphere. The staff is super friendly, gracious, and amazing, making every dining experience special and making you feel like family. With skilled bartenders and Chef Eric, Marina's is a great spot for any occasion. The food is incredible, with big portions and dishes like Mofongo with Shrimp and their Chicken Sandwich all 🔥🔥🔥. Highly recommended for anyone seeking the best Latin food in Chicago.
