Casa Yari

Puerto Rican home cooking, back on Paseo Boricua
Yari Vargas lost her Logan Square dining room when the building sold. She spent most of 2025 hunting for another one. Casa Yari reopened in March 2026 on Division Street inside Paseo Boricua, the Puerto Rican cultural stretch of Humboldt Park, in a room twice the size of the old one.
The cooking traces back to her late uncle Efrain, who taught her most of it. A wall of photographs in the new room credits the people who helped build it. The menu stays Puerto Rican and Caribbean, with vegan and gluten-free versions of most dishes, and the bar is finally big enough to sit at.

Casa Yari is one of our family's favorite restaurants. Every visit is an incredible experience! Both the vegan and traditional menus are outstanding, with fresh, flavorful dishes that never disappoint. The fusion of Puerto Rican and Honduran cuisine is unique, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The food, service, and atmosphere make this a place we love coming back to. We highly recommend Casa Yari to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience at Barrio Borikén.

Highly appreciate them having amazing vegan options and the ambience was perfect for my Puerto Rican husband birthday. My infant also loved the pastelon and our guests had a fun time. This is my second visit and I’ll be back.

10/0 recommend! Everything I ordered was delicious and I was impressed at how many vegan and non meat options there were. They also had lots of great drink options from fresh juices to mocktails. Our server was incredibly attentive + gave great recommendations and descriptions. Will definitely be back.

Coming to Casa Yari's came off a recommendation from the people at Wepa! Mercado right down the street. The Puerto Rican Honduran mix and the creativity of the food was amazing. The drinks, small bites and big meals were all to die for. Truly, the best Puerto Rican food in the states.

Best puerto rican food I have ever had in the states. Casa Yari has a great twist on puerto rican classics that everyone should experience, specially the croquetas.
