Irazu Restaurant, established 34 years ago by the Cerdas family, remains Chicago's only Costa Rican dining destination, known for its consistently delicious food and happy patrons.
Miriam Cerdas, the founder, overcame challenges as recent immigrants, often working 16-hour days with little resources, but her vision and hard work have made Irazu a beloved staple.
The restaurant's menu features traditional Costa Rican dishes like Casado and Gallo Pinto, which showcase the rich flavors of Central America and have retained a loyal customer base.
Despite neighborhood changes from gentrification, Irazu has maintained its authentic identity, demonstrating the Cerdas family's resilience and commitment to serving quality food to the community.
