    Further proof that Diana should be Queen. This place is incredible. Great spice unique bowls. Great for lunch or dinner. You can feel the love they put into each dish. Had the Chicago Bowl it felt like a hug on a mid December day. Warming my insides and I will be back for sure.

    This place is the bomb…. I came in here never having tried Puerto Rican food but came in with high expectations seeing all the flags in the neighborhood. I got the Tripleta to sample all the meats and it was the right choice. The tostones are pressed flat and fried like chips which was great compared to slices I’ve had before. There was one guy running the show that I believe was the owner. He’s doing everything right, this has been my best meal yet in my weekend trying restaurants in Chicago.

    I love Diana's! Amazing food every time. Portions are unbelievable (I always have a second meal with my leftovers). Service and atmosphere are great as well. One of my favorite food spots in Chicago for sure :)

    I had the Knuckle Sandwich with Adobe Fries. Both were really tasty and good-sized portions as well. Very friendly service. Will definitely be recommending Diana's to my coworkers when we move into our new building.

    The absolute best Puerto Rican in the area. Best jibarito and pastelillos I’ve ever had! Awesome customer service too - the owner is so sweet! Pic is of the knuckle sandwich. Outstanding.

    Delicious food!! Went there for first time and took some co workers around 10 am, it was empty so it felted kind of unsure about the place, there was no server you order at counter and pay, then they bring the food to you, and boy our food was excellent, very tasty and good portions, I'll come back and most definitely recommend this place, to the owner the place could use some updating and perhaps table service

    The food is always spectacular here. Love the new remodeled look. Best steak and lechon/pork Jibaritos in Midwest!

    This place is fire. Went there for the first time today, got the slow roasted pork sandwich and it was so good I almost cried. Tender, juicy, and a great portion for the price-easily enough for two meals. Their homemade hot sauce is also some of the best I've tried. Definitely going back!

    If you have posted business hours, you are socially obligated to honor those hours. Randomly closing 1 to 1.5 hours early isn’t doing your customers any favors. Enjoy your food, but if I can’t count on you being open when advertised, what’s the point?

    This place is a hidden gem!! Everything on their menu is so good! From the sandwiches to the bowls.. Their adobo does will haunt you in your sleep. Don't think... just go!! And try it all!

    Sharing this review so they get more customers. Food is good and priced well, in fact you'd be hard pressed to find this much food for the price. I paid about $10 for a custom bowl and it's easy two meals there.

    Wonderful! Popped in on a rainy day. Service was great and food delicious! Recommend the pork bowl and empanadas!

  • 2/5 Gutah R. 1 year ago on Google
    The bowls here are delicious. but get ready to pay double the price. especially for a jibarito sandwich. Just a jibarito sandwich and a pop. 15$

    Diana's looks clean and comfortable. The menu is varied.but as always i gout something I'm used to get ...so i had a jivarito with pernil(pork leg) it was very tasty...but somehow missed the mark i had in my memory...

    Oh man is this place a gem! Me and my wife stopped in for a quick bite before we attended an even close by. I had no idea what I was missing out on all this time! I had the Knuckle sandwich and my wife created her own bowl with chicken and Puerto Rican rice. Let's start with me. My sandwich was so good. The portion size was almost like having two sandwiches. The steak was delicious and juicy, the ingredients all mixed well together and the sauce was tasty. It was also toasted to perfection. My wife's bowl had some good looking chicken (I didn't try because I had so much of my own food). She said the rice, the chicken, and the veggies were awesome. The only thing comparable to the food was the BOSS SAUCE! She couldn't stop talking about that sauce. She also tried the Catalan Sofrito sauce. A bit sweeter than the boss sauce but also very good (her words). The staff was nice and helpful and the place looks nice, it has a more Chicago feel to it. They are still doing work to it so I'm sure it's going to look better in the future. It's nice to see a local restaurant get back up after this pandemic. I recommend this in place and we will be back.

    Love their jabritos. I always get extra garlic oil and mayo. Definitely bussing. They are not stingy with the steak meat. You will definitely be satisfied. The rice is good too.

    Every time we come here it is even better than the last, the food is always fresh and delicious and everything from the sandwiches to the hebaros and the stews…..don’t forget the frituras neither they are all amazing, my fave are the relleno de papa(stuffed potato) and the steak pastelillo. Never a disappointment and always worth the wait or travel for this awesome food that they serve here and also the awesome and curtious staff who work hard everyday here to let us enjoy the food are also the best

    My first time here! It was so good! I didn’t feel like eating subway so I looked up food in the area and I’m glad I found this place. At first I thought the bowl to go would be a small portion but the moment he handed me that bag it had a lot of weight to it. I opened it up and it was filled to the top! Definitely worth the money! Everything is delicious the peppers and onions cooked Perfect the maduros are so amazing. The pernil also very very good! I recommend this place definitely and I will be visiting again. Can’t wait to tell my family and friends about it
