Four of us headed out here to lunch on a Tuesday afternoon with around 11:15 and it seemed to be getting busy, but service was pretty fast. Walking in you can smell how amazing you food is about to be. Being my first time, I wanted to try a Chorizo Eggroll, Al Pastor Bacos, and The Cheesy Buddha sandwhich. Total was under 20 and nothing disappointed! This is definitely more food than anyone needs but it's worth trying a little bit of everything. The vegetarian sandwhich absolutely hit the spot with all the amazing flavors that was also filling. And the Al Pastor with the small pieces of pineapple were fantastically seasoned. Everyone in the group agreed this is a great loop lunch spot. Can't wait to head out here again.

Saucy Porka was featured on Check Please! I was in the neighborhood, it was on my list of Must Try’s. Per the recommendation of one of the staff, I ordered the Shrimp Baco and Guajillo Pork Baco. It was just under 10 (tax included) for the two—-a little pricey IMHO; factoring in the location, it’s understandable. —Staff were friendly x5 —Food: Shrimp x5 Pork x4.5 —Atmosphere: cute, the back area was visible x3.5 —Price: I will be back to work my way down the menu.

hole in the wall banh mi vietnamese restaurant, decent prices for sandwiches (around 12-15 depending on the meat you choose). some fun drink options and sides to choose from. there’s space for seating inside and the service was fast! would definitely recommend for a quick lunch if you’re walking around the city

Saucy Porka in the South Loop is a gem for fusion food lovers. I tried the Ropa Vieja Beef Banh Mi, tender beef with a kick of kimchi on a fresh baguette. Added a Chorizo Egg Roll on the side. The Funky Monkey Fries were a standout, seasoned fries loaded with beef, cheese, and jalapeno aioli. The place has a chill vibe, and service was quick. Spent around 24. Definitely coming back for more.

stopped in here for a team lunch at noon and was super impressed with the food and service! they were very busy but somehow food came out very quickly and was DELICIOUS (waited 10 mins for 7 distinct orders). i had the puerto rican rice with beef egg and highly recommend the combo! i devoured the entire bowl in one sitting. my colleagues did the same with their respective orders, and we all ordered different items so it seems you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. will definitely be coming back here again for lunch!

Came in after visiting the Skydeck Chicago. Best food we’ve had in a looooong time. You have to get the curry sweet potato fries (pictured) amazing.
