Not very welcoming staff whatsoever! Tasteless empanada stuffed with pieces of fatty meat! Gross!

La Unica has been my go to Latin American restaurant for quite a few years now. I've taken and suggested many friends come here. Never have I heard a bad thing from anyone. My favorites are the rabo de res and costillas de puerco en salsa verde. The quality and quantity has been very consistent in my experience.

Food was delicious, please try the empanadas. Very flavorful and authentic. Will come back!

Today was my first time here in hopes to have some delicious Peruvian food. I was not let down and had delicious Papa Rellena and plátano maduro/frito. As a Peruvian who has tried many different restaurants in the Chicago land area, I would say that the prices are good too. The staff was very nice too.

Called La Unica Café on Saturday to make sure they would be open on Sunday. The man on the phone said the Schaumburg La Unica Café would be open until 4 pm Sunday. Parties traveled hours to meet at La Unica Café at 2:30 pm and found the restaurant closed.

Great oxtails , Pozole's really good as well, Cuban tamales I really like too.. have a interesting menu, lots of stuff to try , but the three things I mentioned above being so good it's hard to order other stuff
Food wasn’t that good. We got Colombian empanadas ( tasteless ), Cuban sandwich ( the meat was old and hard to chew, I got sick from it) and a Colombian chorizo that even tho was the only thing we kinda liked, was way too small.

Great latin dishes from various countries

The food was tasty and it was a short wait. Plenty of food to pick from and the plantains were cooked different. Plenty of parking. Would have given 5 stars but the rest room could have been a little cleaner. Cuban, Mexican, & Peruvian Food!

For starters the service is complete trash! I walk in and nobody is there to attend you.. when the cashier finally decided to show up from the back he greets you with a dry "What's up?" Instead of a "how may I help you or what would you like to order?" This place seems to have great food but the service needs a drastic change! I decided to walk out when the cashier had no intention of working or giving me any service..

La Unica makes great Cuban and South American food. Lomo Saltado is not easy to come by, and this place does a great job. Also love the Cuban tamales, but everything I've had from La Unica is pretty good. Used to have lunch here when I worked in the area. Both La Unica - Chicago and Schaumburg are worth a try if you live nearby.
I recommend this
