$50 for fake Puerto Rican food the community deserves better"…read moreI need to write this review because people in Elgin deserve to know the truth, especially those who may not be familiar with authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. Let me start with the Papas Rellenas potato balls that are supposed to be made with real mashed potatoes, seasoned properly, and filled with well-seasoned meat. What I got was clearly made with INSTANT mashed potatoes. You can taste the difference immediately. It was bland, gummy, and honestly embarrassing to call Puerto Rican food. Then the Alcapurrias which should be packed with flavorful, well-seasoned meat filling. Instead, mine were stuffed almost entirely with green banana (guineo) and barely any meat at all. The only thing that had any flavor WAS the little bit of meat in there, which tells you the issue the base itself had zero seasoning. Eating an alcapurria that tastes like a plain pound of banana is not it. I spent $50 on this meal. FIFTY DOLLARS. As a Puerto Rican, this is a disgrace. This is one of only two Puerto Rican restaurants in Elgin, which means people are counting on places like this to represent our food and culture and this is what they're getting? Authentic Puerto Rican food is rich, flavorful, and made with love and the RIGHT ingredients. This was none of that. Do better. The community deserves authentic food, not a watered-down imitation at premium prices. Not recommended.

We came to Longitud315 on a Wednesday evening before catching the Metra down to Ravinia. We were the apparently the first customers of the day. The lone server, who was also doubling as bartender, said we could sit anywhere we wanted. We ordered several small plates plus dessert. Their chimichurri is some of the best I've ever tasted--great for dipping plantain chips as well as empanadas. Arepas, drunken mushrooms, and Chupil de Camerones were all excellent. The only slight disappointment was the empanadas. We tried all 4 they were offering that night. Some were good but a couple tasted like they had been reheated. A couple cocktails rounded out our meal, no complaints there. Service was excellent. It was starting to get busy when we left but the lone server never missed a beat. Prices were reasonable in our opinion. We left full and happy and are already planning a return visit.

Service was good - and they have live music on Friday nights. For drinks, we had white wine and passion fruit pisco sours. We've had better pisco's however.

For entrees - my husband and I shared the Milanesa a la Provenzana and the Arroz Chaufa De Mariscos. Both dishes were good - and handled a reheating the next day, but nothing outstanding.

Some of the items are a bit more expense, like the guac appetizer was $15 but the guacamole was really fresh and the chips were freshly fried and crispy.
