The wait was close to 1.5 hrs and they told us 30 minutes. The food is not authentic Puerto Rican food. It's Latin food, but not Rican flavor. Unfortunately if you want home made Rican food, you have to drive to humble Park. They were so busy, I wanted to cancel and they said it's coming up, but still waited additional 20 minutes. The music was great. read more

SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!! I felt such joy eating this savory food made with love! If you know Puerto Rican or Cuban cuisine, this truly is like your grandma or auntie cooked it (that means it's finger licking, 'eat past your full limit' good)! It's a cute space inside too! Perfect for hanging out with friends, or family, and nice enough to also take a date. It's a laid back vibe, so relax, & enjoy! read more

I was in the area, and looking up places to eat. I saw that it got 4.9 stars, wow!! I usually never see more that 4.5 at best. So, we decided to give ot a try..........What a cute place! The food is good and fresh. The potato empanadas, and tostones were yummy! The staff was attentive and answered all of our questions! It was my first time here and I was impressed. I wish they had another location closer! read more

First time trying this restaurant tonight. I am a food snob and always take service and ambiance into the equation. Now, this is a no frills restaurant (but has so much potential). Service was very slow. BUT the food... what can I say. It blew my mind. Don't let the slow service prevent you from trying the amazing dishes. Order yourself a cold beer, wait for the chips and guacamole to come out and you won't be disappointed. The chips are home made and pop with flavor. We ordered the chef special of the pork Lechon plate and the steak tacos. You can't go wrong. The flavors were a delight to the taste buds. I can't wait to go back and try other menu options. Amazing food!!! read more

I've been back twice in as many weeks since my first visit and the food has been consistently great. HIGHLY recommended!

The food here is outstanding! Seriously delicious food where you can tell each element of a dish was thought out and prepared. When my wife and I went, I ordered the Birria beef tacos and my wife had the jibarito sandwich. Both dishes were so good, I found myself saying "mmmmm" after each bite I took. Just so flavorful and masterfully prepared! The rice and yuca fries were also so well done and delicious. read more

Delicious Latin food made fresh and with love. The Cuban sandwich, a unique burrito and the Puerto Rican rice were all excellent. Generous portions, good service and a welcoming atmosphere. A great place to linger and chat and really enjoy food made with care. We just recently discovered this place and have driven to Elgin from Naperville twice now for the food. Yep, I think we're gonna be regulars! read more

Girl on the phone who took my carry out order was rude and short. Asked for an item, I was told they did not have it before I could even finish my sentence... only to be told they actually have it if she listened better. Every time I call for a pick up order it's never ready when they say that it will be.. I was told 40min to come get my food only to arrive and wait an additional 30min bc we're told our order was given to someone else!??? It's so frustrating because their food is great but the service really is the downside here. It seems like no one seems to know how to professionally work in a high paced environment effectively. Period. read more

Beatrice is unforgettable, her food is amazing, the service outstanding and the ambiance makes you want to return over and over again. My 91 years young Mother in Law born and raised in Elgin never cared to try anything other than American food but wanted to visit the place we frequent with my family. As she was looking over the menu she had many questions but ultimately wasn't daring enough to try something different so Bea made her a special chicken salad that she absolutely loved. Although she wasn't daring enough to order her own plate, she did try something off mine and my husband's plate and was pleasantly surprised. This was several weeks ago and today she tells us that she hasn't been there in awhile and wants to Experience the Flavor don't have to ask me twice on my way mom, let's go read more

Great food, great staff, great place! Well prepared food that took a little time to come but we were not in a hurry and was well worth the wait. The staff were so friendly and polite. I've never commented on a restaurant's rice before, but even the rice was outstanding. I would have given it 5 stars but we sat outside so no comment on ambiance. read more

Great Food Great Service and friendly SMILESThe Sandwiches are so GoodBut in general the food has very much flavor

Good food, clean and inviting environment. Friendly owner stopped by tables to check in with the diners. the cilantro salad, tastes like, and probably is , made fresh on the spot. The chips melt in your mouth. We recommend the jibarito sandwich, flavorful without taking over your senses. We will be back ! read more

Best latin food around! Worth coming in from Florida just to have the mouth watering experience that leaves you wanting more! Thank you B for putting so much love in your cooking. Everything about your restaurant, including the atmosphere, is amazing! Blessings love! read more

Ate here for the first time tonight and definitely will be going back. Before I get into the delicious food, let me comment on the service and the owners. The service was excellent with the wait staff giving appreciated advice on the entrees. But what made it special was the owners coming to the table to make sure things were fine, and to tell us a little more of their story (yes, we asked). We could not have felt more welcomed. The food was really wonderful, just full of flavor. The Cuban sandwich was the best I have had since travelling to Miami and eating in little Havana in the 90's. As a bonus, it's just off of the Fox River Bike Trail, just north of Festival Park. read more

I have been coming to Beaunique's Latin Kitchen for over 4 years now. I absolutely love the Beef Empanadas, Jibarito's, Flauntas, Birria tacos, and the Quesadilla. The food here is amazing, with authentic taste, and it is bursting with flavor. There are no better restaurants around this area that can compete. I saw another review that mentioned the food here is very greasy. That's a lie. Stop trying leave bad reviews just to help your friends restaurant! I've been to the Delicia Tropical Cafe..... it was terrible and bad customer service. The meat there was dry and had no flavor and the rice was hard. I would never go back. Try Beaunique's you won't be disappointed! read more

Just moved to the area and was so pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a restaurant. The staff is very welcoming and the food.. OH MY GOODNESS! We had the steak Jibarito with rice and also had some yucca fries. The steak was seasoned deliciously and the yucca fries do not need any dipping sauce because they are that good. The place is very clean (super important to me) and I'm so excited to know they will be adding even more items to their menu soon. I moved from a city where jibaritos are very popular but sadly many of those places served greasy pieces of low quality meat. I can't wait to come back and try all their dishes! Kudos to this restaurant for serving my family an amazing meal today! read more
