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!

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.

My late friend introduced me to this hidden gem a few years ago. They have the BEST empanadas. Their empanadas are huge and always made to perfection. They’re packed with flavor and seasoned to precision. Their Cuban empanadas pairs perfectly with their green sauce, and their Colombian empanadas come with the most delicious Ají.

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.

This restaurant is one of a kind. There’s a wide variety of entrees and sides. The empanadas and popusas are delicious!

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.

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..
