I’m so happy to report that authentic Puerto Rican Food does exist in Chicago! Marinas Bistro and Rum Bar in the heart of Uptown is lively restaurant serving traditional favorites, such as MOFONGOS and TOSTONES! But don’t overlook atheir hand crafted cocktails with Caribbean twists! Each dish has its old world charm with Chef and owner Eric’s personal touch. Do not forget to order their pastelillos with sweet guava butter to snack on in between. They have plenty of vegan options too! 📍4554 N Magnolia Ave, Chicago, IL #chicagopescetarian #marinasbistrochicago #puertorico #uptown chicago #chicagorestaurants #thingstodoinchicago #puertoricanfood #chicagoblogger #chicagoinfluencer #chicagogram #chicagoexplore #puertorican #chicagohiddengems
