Tried their bowls today. Should have ordered them before!!! This is what chipotle wants to be when they grow old. Flavor wise, outstanding. Then much bigger. Note. Their jalapeños are not from a can. These are grilled and spicy. I've been coming to this place for a while and to be honest this place one of the best kept secrets of the area. Check the pics. read more

I loved everything about this place. It was nice and open and very clean. The service was patient and very nice. The food had so much flavor. I ordered the steak jabrito with beans and white rice. I also had their coquito cupcake which hit the spot. Those beans were fantastic. I could eat a large bowl of the jabrito had a good flavor and everything was balanced. I had my hands full and they helped me get everything to my car. I also ordered the pistachio cheesecake which was a bit fence for me but the subtle flavor is what I like. read more

The best chicken empanadas ever had. The food was made fresh. The price of them is a bit steep for the portion size. The test was great, but they should not have been that expensive. The decorations are really cute and it's the perfect spot to go for a quick bite to eat. The staff was very kind. The bathrooms there are also clean. read more

Beautiful space; photo opportunities both inside and outside. This space is also Sazones. My place of employment has been ordering cakes for retirees and special events. One day, my crew and I were privileged enough to receive a slice of the red velvet cake. I was even encouraged to take a slice home. My husband was very happy as red velvet is his favorite. It is a perfectly moist crumb, nice cocoa flavor without being overpowering and not at all too sweet. The cream cheese frosting is the best! Some of my coworkers and I asked administration for the number to the bakery. Two weeks before my husband's birthday, I drove around to find the space. I purchased empanadas and placed an order for a small red velvet cake. My number was taken and I was told someone would reach out to me with a price. Never heard from anyone; no texts, no voicemail, nothing. I assumed everything was good and I would just stop by after work to pick up the cake. NO CAKE for me. The lady at the register said that they tried reaching out to me through text messages and since I didn't confirm, they didn't make the cake. She showed me her iPhone as well as the paper with my order. I said ma'am, that's not my phone number. Simple mistake; the number five was so close to the number one that it blended together to look like the number seven. Very apologetic and offered to fix it. They needed one hour. I decided to go for a walk while waiting. I received a text when the cake was ready and headed back to the shop. The cake was BEAUTIFUL, I knew my husband would love it. Pulled out my card to pay and they absolutely refused to take any money from me. I purchased two sets of empanadas to go and was trying to leave a tip, she flipped the screen around. I will definitely continue to frequent this business. The empanadas are really good. I'll have to try something else next time. read more

Cute neighborhood place, went there on a Saturday when their quesadilla plates were on special, yay for me! that I could try their birria. Ordered their elote as an appetizer as well. The staff seemed very pleasant and welcoming. The flavor of the elote was as expected, but the texture was a little disappointing as it seemed as if it was canned corn maybe? and not trimmed off the cob. The quesadilla dinner was fantastic, I picked the Puerto Rican style beans as my side, and I was so happy with the flavor and quantity of food. The beef was tasty and tender, and the broth was flavorful and chug-worthy. Would absolutely get this dinner again. read more

Susu’s Dream Bakery & Cafe - Asada Jibarito dinner - Bakeries Near Me - Worth, Illinois

Hands down one my favorite halal restaurants in the Chicagoland area. The service is always welcoming and the food never disappoints. There's a variety of cakes and my personal favorite is the tres leche cake. The dining area isn't too large but it definitely has a nice ambiance. The steak Jibarito with the sauces are fire. The empanadas were amazing as well. It's always a hit over here read more

Add a food deal coupon that I used and the pastries were really really good. The prices were a little high for me to visit too often.

This seems like such a great spot and I'm really happy that will be stopped by driving up through Chicago on a road trip. The woman that worked at the counter did not seem too friendly, but there was a man with glasses there that was friendly to my kids and talk to us about how the bakery had been there for a while, but the restaurant portion was not as well known, which is a shame because their food was delicious and the whole place was very instagrammable. I'm really happy that we were able to enjoy a few of the things I wanted to before went back on the road. Although I had a long list of places that I wanted to try well in Chicago, I still ordered a few things including the quesadilla (with the chicken on the side because my kid doesn't always eat it with chicken), the flauta dinner option, the empanadas and the quesabirria. Coming from Texas, I'm glad they got the quesabirria right! Literally everything was so good, especially the green sauce, which I want to say was like a chimmichurri. The inside of the place was so cute and I'm surprised that there aren't more people there, although we might have just come at an odd time. I am only in Chicago for a couple of days and I'm planning on going again, that's how much I liked it! Would love to try their tres leches! read more

I really wanted to try this place as there are no Puerto Rican restaurants out this way. I was very disappointed it's mostly a bakery. The cooks are Mexican and the owners are Arab. Where's the Puerto Rican? The food all came from frozen nothing fresh. They just put it on the grill or microwave and serve it. Empanadas were ok but lacking flavor and filling. The shrimp was hard and dry definitely frozen not fresh. Everything comes with lots of sauce I guess to give it some flavor but they aren't fooling me. Definitely not how food is served in Puerto Rico. The parking lot is small and shared with other businesses near an intersection with a red light camera so be careful. Really a bad area for car accidents across the street from the train station and post office. Maybe I will try something different next time cuz I really want to like this cute place, but it may be a lost cause. read more

Omg this place is one of beat hidden gems right here..I initially found this spot on the too good to go app where business participate in saving meals and selling them for less at the end of the day. Really good price and the food is still good.. anyway I went there and got the deserts and was blown away. The place is setup so cute and just so chill and relaxing to come to and get a nice lunch date in. Because it's all in one.. they have merged deserts and the Puerto Rican culture food minus the pork and no alcohol. The ladies I met were so really nice. She said they are from Puerto Rico and they have been in business for 8 years. The steak tacos I had were sooooo good and the meat was juicy and the toppings were just enough. I had two tacos and I was full off that along with the cupcake :) ..try this place and you will not be disappointed at all. I will be definitely going back. read more

Walked in to a brightly lit clean restaurant. The staff was friendly, patient and helpful in our decisions. They have a nice affordable catering menu also. Jibarito was good nice thicker piece of asada. The plantains were not greasy. Garlic sauce did not overpower the flavor of the sandwich. The tostones also not greasy tasted fresh with nice flavor. At first I Did not care for the papa rellena, mostly a look thing. The papa was white not orange colored. They didn't taste bad they tasted good also not full of grease. I think for me they tasted better when they cooled down a bit. Overall good food definitely coming back. They have daily specials served all day. Cheese cake was amazing, cant wait to try other delicious items they have. Nice atmosphere, and priced fair. read more

The food here is so good. I love me some Puerto Rican food and this food is legit. I didn't realize they originally had a bakery down the road by the cemetery I visit family at. I've enjoyed their steak jibirito with arroz con grandules and asada papas locas aka loaded steak fries. My kids can share the fries and eat it like a meal. It comes with fries, topped with steak, cheese, lettuce, gauc, jalapeños, sour scream, and tomatoes. We've also tried their tres leches chocolate and my kids couldn't stop eating it.... The location is pretty cute too. While I haven't had a chance to dine in, I've gone in to wait for my food and they have a few picturesque photo opportunities. read more

This restaurant/bakery is a hidden gem. Latin cuisine but also has halal meat. The decor is very pretty and it makes this a very unique restaurant. It is located in a small plaza so it has pretty decent parking and the food is good. I will say their normal menu is a bit on the pricier side compared to other Latin restaurants, but they have some amazing deals for their daily specials. Those are amazing deals. The food is also very delicious and the lot cupcakes are also very good. I will definitely come back and try more food, specially their daily specials which are excellent deals. Updated review from my second time coming.. still a 5 star hidden gem place! Had the pollochon and the bistec encebollado and it was really good! Their arroz con gandules is also excellent! Their tostones is also amazing! I love this place and will be coming back!! My biggest critique is I think this place needs to have real silverware. The plastic ones are difficult to use. read more

I'd been excited to try this place ever since a friend told me about it. I like Mexican food, so anything Latin American sounds interesting. I had fried plantain chips when I was in Miami once, but this was my first time having proper Puerto Rican cuisine. It was a bit of a hike to get here because roadwork prevented me from taking the exit I needed, but we made it. The parking lot is small, though the restaurant felt spacious enough and is well-lit outside and inside. It's a fun and colorful vibe. They have a zabiha certificate by the cash register. The lady who served us gave an excellent overview of the menu, as I wasn't sure what some of the items were. Nice selection of items, and they have ready-made dessert, too, including flan and cupcakes. They also have mocktails and coffee drinks. We ordered an asada jibarito (steak sandwich in plantain) and chicken mofongo (meat served atop mashed plantain). The steak sandwich was excellent, although a bit on the dry side because plantain is dense. Thankfully they gave us four different sauces to try: a mild salsa, a spicy salsa, some sort of mayo, and chimichurri. The mofongo was also very good, and one of the more unique dishes I've had in recent memory. Both dishes came with white rice, which was short-grain and kind of sticky (not as sticky as sushi rice), and both dishes came with a bowl of beans on the side. We got dessert to go: tiramisu and pistachio tres leches. Wow! The tiramisu was pretty good; moist enough and good coffee flavor. The tres leches was amazing; so moist, and the pistachio flavor really shone through. Very pleased overall. read more

I love this new place... honestly there's a lot of places in Chicago but this Mofongo made me feel like I was in Puerto Rico eating it. I am so happy to have found this new place. Opened a couple days ago. The beans with the rice so fresh. The sazon on everything they made was on point. They make all the sauces from scratch, from the garlic and butter, chimichurri and ketchup mayo. They have a wide variety of drinks and they came up with cool names, I had the hurricane Maria. The Decor is sooo cute and I love that they have a cafe vibe on one side and the tropical food on another side. You can also order cakes for special occasions. Def coming back with my family. I appreciate the service and how welcoming it was. God bless your new business read more

I love SUSU's! I don't love their sign lol. I actually ignored this place because the sign through me off. It was until I did the "TooGoodToGo" app that I stumbled upon their existence. I had some of their sweets, which is when we learned they have AMAZING Puerto Rican food, which is surprisingly hard to come by in Chicagoland. I like their tacos a lot, but my best friend who is Puerto Rican raves about the Jibarito sandwich, I can personally attest that it's divine. Inside, it's a cute little place. They also make cakes, they do a great job with design and taste. If you want Puerto Rican food, sweets, or cakes - check this place out!! read more

Had lunch there. Didn't have anything from the bakery. Mexican cuisine prepared and served by Mideast lady. The burrito was very ful with meat and salad vegetables. The shrimp tacos were generous with the marinaded shrimp. The beans were very good. The decor was an over abundance of silk flowers but clean. We may go back but it's not some place where we would take anyone. read more

I love this place I love that It's Muslim owned meaning the food is halal. (Halal is humane way to butcher meat) the food portions are very generous. I leave with a take away box every time. I fell in love with the cupcakes bc they are so light and airy as if they are clouds. They are not overly sweet which makes them very addicting. Even when thawed they are still moist. 10/10 Customer service is exceptional. They are a very nice family. read more

We had a beach wedding with a reception at our house. We got our cake from Susu's. We could not have been anymore delighted! The cake was beautiful and the flowers matched our theme, including our iguana cake toppers. They reviewed the order carefully and went over everything with me. It was a two tier cake and it was delicious! The bottom layer was pistachio with cream cheese filled with fresh cut pistachios. On the upper layer was a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries layered in. Everyone loved both layers with most eating both. The cake and decor were so beautiful and fulfilled all my wishes! Thank you so very much!! read more

Affordable prices for a delicious home-cooked meal. My favorite place for authentic food and the best desserts.

I am by no means a conneseur of Puerto Rican cuisine but I was so glad to have visited this cafe! I remember the friendly service when I tried the original little pink bakery years ago and now that same atmosphere has expanded to include a beautifully decorated cafe alongside the bakery. Kelly was the first person to greet us and she patiently and graciously helped us navigate to menu. The asada tacos were excellent- absolutely delicious, the best you will find in the south suburbs!! We also shared the tres leche cake from the bakery. I can't wait to come back for the jibarito and try one of their mocktails. Suzy's is located near the corner of 111th and Harlem .... don't drive by, give it a try! You won't be disappointed! read more
