Nellie’s Restaurant

This was my first time visiting Chicago, and dining at Nellie’s Restaurant was truly a highlight of my trip. The coconut oatmeal was hands down the best breakfast I’ve had — perfectly creamy, flavorful, I also ordered the Sancho, and it did not disappoint. It was packed with flavor and cooked just right. The food reminded me so much of Puerto Rico — authentic, rich, and full of heart. It honestly brought back beautiful memories. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Chicago. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious, authentic food and a great dining experience!”**

I ordered a traditional Puerto Rican dish it was good but it missed on the salt and pepper. Besides that my friends I was here with said theirs was good. We ordered Coca Cola Zero and it came like after 10 min that was kind of really late. But I would still recommend it the pastry’s they had here the traditional ones look pretty delicious and good.

I came into nellies with 4 of my friends and the experience we had today was phenomenal. The Puerto Rican tradition feels alive and the food is very authentic. Alex was our host and honestly the best server I ever had. I highly recommend coming here if your in the area!

Don’t miss out on the avena de coco! Never been a fan of avena but the one from Nellie’s is definitely an exception. I got the breakfast jibarito, it was pretty good, would order it again. The atmosphere is very homey which I appreciated.

i don’t know who’s complaining about the “slow service/wait,” because it’s damn well worth it and that’s how you KNOW the food is gonna be good! this ain’t no fast food, this is QUALITY <3 hugeeee portions, from the cafe con leche to the Nellie’s breakfast special! i could eat that avena de coco every day… amazing puerto rican cuisine, we were absolutely stuffed and so happy!
