Borinquen Restaurant

Born in Chicago with Puerto Rican roots.

What to go for: Tasty meat (lechon and roast chicken are the best), jibarito, jibarito salsa
Value: Very good ($7 for the jibarito)
Popularity: Good go-to for take-out and quick service
Worthy of a journey: Chicago-Puerto Rican local dish!
Paleo: Skip the rice with pigeon peas (it is delicious though)
