Chupacabra Puerto Rican Kitchen

First time at Chupacabra and it won't be my last! The food was absolutely amazing, so much flavor! The service was great, all of my questions were answered with ease. The ambiance gave a very homely vibe, I loved it! Will definitely be back.

We had an amazing experience! The food was outstanding, and our server was both friendly and attentive. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area again! Just a note for those with dietary needs: there are many gluten-free options available!

Let me start by saying this family own restaurant is a gem! The food is delicious and you receive plenty of food. The ambience is very nice and warming. The service is amazing and they treat you like family. I def recommend dining in or even ordering out. Thank you for such amazing hospitality. View menu

My wife and I had dinner here. We are both vegetarians and there are 2 vegetarian options and they were both delicious! We also had dessert. A rice pudding and a guava pastry. So good! Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: There was only 2 vegetarian options. A jibarito dinner plate and a mofongo dinner plate. Both were delicious!

The food and the service was awesome my first time there been looking for a good Puerto Rican restaurant for a while in Plainfield I didn't want to drive to the all the way too the city north side so I just started to look on the app yelp and this place pop up so me and the wife decided to give it a try I was not disappointed I will be going back soon...

I seriously love the Jibarito plantain sandwich (Pork), that I came back in 2 days to have it again! I've never had Puerto Rican food before (smh) but my husband who has hands down love the Jibarito's here. Portion is great and satisfying for one person. Do not share! Service here is awesome too! They're always checking on you if you need anything and making sure the food tastes great. The restaurant itself is not that huge but I came here with a group of 7 people. There are enough seats for a large group. I just wouldn't recommend going on the weekends during busy hours with a large group. There is free parking in the back of the building up to 3 hours during the weekdays. I can't wait to c... View menu

My family and I are huge fans of this place! We've had their catering before and used to frequent their food truck in Naperville, which was more convenient for us. When we learned they opened a restaurant, we couldn't wait to visit! The food is truly amazing and very satisfying. The staff is exceptionally kind and welcoming. We did feel a little guilty for not noticing that others were waiting to be seated while we were leaving, but the staff was patient and didn’t rush us, which we really appreciated. Most of us ordered the jibarito meal with pork and steak, served with rice, and I would give it a perfect 10/10. The guava juice was good, though a bit diluted for my liking. Overall, the food...

Obsessed! I had been wanting to try Chupacabra for some time now (partly due to the delicious smells wafting from the building, and partly because I'm crazy 4 cryptids). They did not disappoint in the slightest!I believe the owner was our server and she was so friendly and knowledgable. I had asked her about their gluten free offerings and she was able to point out every single thing on the menu without hesitation, and also gave me a primer on Puerto Rican cuisine being naturally gluten free (in most cases they did have a few offerings that were not GF but she assured me there was no cross contamination).We had the mofongo with pernil and tostones. I cannot begin to tell you how delicious ev...

I can't say enough good stuff about Chupacabra! Chupacabra is a family owned restaurant, and the family is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I first tried Chupacabra during the First Friday Cocoa Crawl in Aurora. We went back recently, and I think it was even better this time around!! I had the Papi's Pollo Frito (Fried Chicken) with Guava BBQ sauce and Puerto Rican Rice. My husband had the traditional Christmas dish it's so popular that they've kept it on the menu (for now). It is roast pork and Mofongo, smashed plantain with herbs, served with a sauce. The fried Chicken was honestly the best I've ever had. Rather than being breaded and fried, the drumsticks are seasoned and fried in the... View menu
