Estación

This place is amazing. So glad we came here. My future wife is Puerto Rican so i wanted to find a place with some food she might like and i was not disappointed. Service was amazing. They were quick with the food and the drinks were amazing. Arturo was our server and he was great and attentive. Authentic/clean/flavorful/quick Definitely will be coming back.

My husband and I ended up here by happy accident tonight when another restaurant we were going to ended up being closed- lucky for us, because we were in for a treat! Such tasty food and cocktails, everything was delicious! The portion sizes were nice, which is always a concern for me at higher end places such as this. Best flan we have ever had the pleasure of eating! Service was top notch, stop in if you haven’t already, you won’t regret it! We had the hibiscus margarita, salted cod fritter, ropa vieja, jibarito, and flan.

Another Chicagoland gem. The owners are very approachable and accommodating. Food is as good as it gets. Simple well prepared menu. Loved their Pulpo appetizer. We will be back for when the authentic Mama Juana drink is ready!

A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! I had the cangrejo and three cocktails at Estacion, and every bite and sip was absolute perfection. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The cocktails? Deliciously crafted and full of personality. Estacion is a hidden secret that deserves all the love—if you haven’t been, go now before everyone else finds out!

Y U M. The food is delicious and the servers are so kind. We had the shrimp appetizer and the ropa vieja and the pernil...delicious. We will definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Estacion, and I can confidently say it was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and truly welcoming. The drinks were absolutely fantastic, perfectly crafted and full of flavor. Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing cocktail or something bold, this place knows how to deliver. Now, onto the food—simply spectacular. We started with the queso appetizer, which was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect way to kick off the meal. For my entree, I had the ropa vieja, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The beef was tender and flavorful, perfectly paired with rice and plantains. My dad ordered the pernil, and it was just as impressive—juicy, slow-cooked to perfection, and bursting with authentic flavor. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we ended the meal with arroz con leche, and wow—it was incredible. Creamy, perfectly spiced with cinnamon, and just the right amount of sweetness, it was the perfect way to wrap up an already amazing meal. Everything about this restaurant exceeded expectations. If you’re looking for a place that nails service, drinks, and unforgettable food, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We are visiting in Evanston and were so happy that we found Estacion! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was fun! My wife and I both agreed this is the best meal we’ve had at a restaurant in a long time. The special appetizer tonight was equites, and I could have been perfectly happy just eating that all night. Kudos to Estacion for creating such a warm, welcoming environment with delicious food and drink. We will be returning whenever we are in Evanston visiting family. UPDATE: We returned the next day for brunch and brought a friend. Same delicious food, same awesome service. This is our new favorite restaurant in Evanston.

What a pleasant surprise we had when 6 of us decided to check Estacion out for a late lunch. The dishes and drinks were full of sabor and love. We tried nearly everything and were particularly impressed with the Guava Chipotle Sauce served with the Queso, the Congrejo, Ropa Vieja Flan de Queso, and the Hibiscus Pisco Margarita. TY we will be back, especially to try the Jibarito and more drinks!
