About IRAZU COSTA RICAN DINING & CATERING


A unique team of mother and son really make this place shine above and beyond the local eatery competition here in Chicago. They really have a handle on how to do it right and continue to shine bright. Taking their Costa Rican heritage and roots, you can experience the authentic mentioned cuisine which includes popular choices such as Pepito Sandwiches and the Chicarron which is made from scratch each day. So many places to dine when in Chicago, we urge you to visit this popular cantina before you join the lines for the typical Deep Dish Pizza. We also would like to point out that the menu has a vast amount of delicious vegetarian-friendly items. Once you arrive, you will immediately experience the full effect of the warm and genuine Latin atmosphere that we simply cannot get enough of. If you are a returning customer, odds are quite high that the staff will remember you and even your name if you share it. A family friendly spot that serves incredible food and really makes you feel welcome. Few things to keep in mind with this spot that opened it's doors three decades ago in 1990 - it's a cash-only spot and they also offer a BYOB rule. That's right, bring your own alcohol, we love that concept. While there are many great spots to dine at when in the Chicagoland area, Irazu Costa Rica restaurant has made it's mark and is here to stay!
