Since March 2006: Nellie’s has become widely recognized as one of “Chicago’s Best”. A staple of the Humboldt Park neighborhood with its blend of Puerto Rican fare & American breakfast favorites.

Nellie’s Puerto Rican Restaurant is a family-owned eatery nested in the heart of Chicago’s vibrant Puerto Rican community. Serving our extremely popular 'avena de coco' (coconut oatmeal) and the ever frequented weekend breakfast buffet.
