Peru Criollo

Food + DrinkPortage Park · Peruvian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3938 N Cicero Ave, Chicago, IL 60641
Photo: Peru Criollo via Google

A small, BYOB Peruvian spot on Cicero Avenue that opened in 2022 — genuinely closer to a home-cooked Lima meal than the fusion-leaning Peruvian spots downtown.

Closed Monday and Tuesday; the kitchen runs on a tighter clock than most sit-down restaurants, so don't plan on strolling in at closing time.
