Delicia Tropical Cafe - Puerto Rican in Elgin

Recently my PR gf and I visited this restaurant based on a suggestion given to her from a co worker.

In short, she gave it two thumbs up.






We began with SORULLITOS, described as corn stick fritters served with a Mayo-ketchup sauce. The sauce must a a Caribbean thing as I know Colombians to use this as a condiment.




She was ectatic about her shrimp filled MOFONGO



I began with a pastel, as it had been a long time since I've eaten one.



My main dish was CHULETA RELLENA DE JAMON Y QUESO - Breaded pork chop stuffed with ham and mozzarella cheese wrapped with bacon and deep fried to perfection. You have a choice of marinara or pimonte sauce but the waiter suggested a mushroom gravy sauce, topped with more cheese. OMG, so delicious, tender


This is a must visit if you live Northwest of Chicago and don't want to make the trek to Humboldt Park.

They do not serve alcohol, and not sure if there is a BYOB policy. I did not see any other diners with alcohol so I am guessing not.

Hi,

Thank you for your enthusiastic report. Occasionally, I am in Elgin and will definitely give this a try. The shrimp filled mofongo sounds brilliant.

Again, thanks!
