Absolutely fantastic at every level. Not the place I’d like expect to find at the Wilson strip mall.

Food is amazing. Prices are fair. You can tell they put in a lot of work to make everything great.

Authentic Puerto Rican food. Tried the slow roasted pork, beef, eggplant, fried rice, avocado salad, malango and lots of sides.
Favorite was the pita chips with guava dip. Slow roasted asado was good, liked the fatty part.
Slow cooked beef was tender and good. Eggplant with this yellow spam dip was an amazing. It was like an eggplant chip, tasted amazing.
Service was amazing and interior design was very elegant.

This place is drop dead delicious. My gosh the drinks are insane (try the El Yunque). The beef pastelillos were damn good amazing. The braised beef main dish was fall off the fork and so wow I cannot explain. You have to order this all.

This place is decorated with a cute and tropical vibe. I really forgot I was in Chicago for a bit. The cocktails were absolutely amazing. Well-balanced and not too sweet. The food was flavorful and well seasoned. Great service too! Will be going back.

We both loved the food. The server (Anna) was great and made me a tasty sauce that was dairy-free. The music was just a little loud but the music itself was dope.

Had such an awesome dinner at Marina's! Great cocktails and atmosphere. Also really enjoyed the jibaritos and the arroz con grandules was the best rice we've had in a long time!

I ordered take-out via DoorDash which became unexpectedly complicated, but the bartender was so helpful and kind that the inconvenience was no bother whatsoever. She was quick to take my order, give me water and chips while I waited, and even gave me an umbrella to take with me on my way out because it was pouring outside and I showed up drenched. Not only was she awesome, but the food was delicious! I'd highly recommend the lechon jibaritos with the PR rice. The beans and the aguacate salad were also great. <3 Thank you!!

The ambiance was very tranquil and the food was absolutely delicious. The quality of the service is top tier. I didn’t have to try and get anyone’s attention and that made it such a delightful experience. The decor really sets a nice tone, your eyes can always peer to something cute and of authentic Puerto Rican culture.

OMFG! This was absolutely delicious! I am not a fan of rum so I was skeptical of the cocktails, but they were a 0/10 as well! nwe tried 6 cocktails and they were delicious, but the food was even better. None of us had the same items, yet none of us had leftovers because it was so yummy we couldn't put our food down. Wholeheartedly recommend!
