There is a Puerto Rican place near to where I live, I've been quite a number of times and everytime it has been really good. Santiago's (FB URL: https://www.facebook.com/Santiagosdesplaines/ ).

I will contact Santiago's later this afternoon, the owner & I previously discussed a set menu at ~$20 per person that allows everyone to try quite a number of Puerto Rican dishes/items. This was for another organization but I'm sure they will be willing to extend it to us Flyertalkers.

Stay tuned !!

The restaurant doesn't seem to have a website. For anyone who doesn't use Facebook or doesn't have access, there is some sort of menu posted here: http://www.menupix.com/chicago/resta...Des-Plaines-IL

No guarantees on accuracy! Vegetarians would probably want to eat in advance.

365RoadWarrior won't be able to make it. 90+ minutes from The Loop by public transit.

I was hopeful of a city venue as I'm going with a group to the Cubs/Sox game that day - headed to the suburbs after that would be nightmarish. Have fun, everyone.

I live in Des Plaines & take public transit all the time, Metra trip is 33 mins from downtown to DP, quick cab/Uber/Lyft from the Metra station, from the Loop Blueline L is ~50 mins to Rosemont stop, I can pick up folks from Rosemont L stop if needed.

The restaurant appears to be about 10 minutes from ORD which is perfect for me as I'm on a same day trip

Not looking good for my schedule, so best not to count on me for reservation purposes.

I will keep it on my radar in case things change.

I am in Chicago for the summer. I am interested in this but if it's in the burbs, I'm out.

Any possibility of something CTA friendly?
