A Beloved Spot for Yuca Fries and Comfort Food Finds a New Home in Humboldt Park
"The loaded yuca fries topped with beef chorizo, crema, queso fresco, chimol, and pickled onions make for both a satisfyingly salty and slightly sweet appetizer to prime your palate."
"In terms of entrees, you'll want to try the pollo chuco. It's a comforting dish of fried chicken thighs served with banana tajadas, topped with cabbage, tomatoes, pink aioli, and a garlic cream sauce."
"The pastelón, a classic Puerto Rican dish consisting of layered sweet plantains, cheese, criollo sauce, and a sun-dried tomato topping, is a delectable dish with sweet, savory, and hearty notes."
"Casa Yari currently does not serve alcohol and is operating as a BYOB establishment, so be prepared with your own wine or beer."
Casa Yari has reopened in the Humboldt Park area, known as 'Little Puerto Rico,' after relocating from Logan Square. The restaurant features dishes inspired by chef Yari Vargas' late uncle Efrain. Signature offerings include loaded yuca fries, pollo chuco with fried chicken thighs, and pastelón, a layered sweet plantain dish. Casa Yari operates as a BYOB establishment, providing vegan and gluten-free options for guests. Nearby, The Hi-Lo cocktail bar offers a cozy atmosphere for post-meal drinks.
