Cuban-inspired ropa vieja beef stew, Ecuadorian jibaritos, and more are offered at a new hidden gem in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, Omarcito's.
The fried fish jibarito drizzled with green garlic aioli and topped with Ecuadorian salsa criolla on Nov. 20, 2022 at Omarcito's, a new Latin American restaurant on West Fullerton Avenue in Logan Square.
The quesa’ropa, a unique creation made from corn tortillas filled with rope vieja and melted muenster cheese, topped with special green garlic aioli, cream salvadorena and crumbled queso fresco at Omarcito's.“Another madness, and I had no idea it was going to take off the way that it did,” Cadena said. “I actually first made it for a homeboy of mine like a year and a half back when I took a COVID care package to him. He was like, ‘Bro, this thing right here is fire.
And, indeed, they have. The No. 1 bestseller is the intensely rich ropa vieja. But the second is lechon, a citrus- and garlic-marinated pork, cooked down stunningly soft and silky. “That’s just because of my Cuban heritage,” he said. “It’s a childhood thing for me, eating guava and Philly cream cheese on a cracker was simplicity.”
“This restaurant is the thing that I’ve been wanting to do for 23 years,” the chef said. He previously worked as the general manager at Irazu and then BIG & little’s. “My grandfather, Omar, while he was in the butcher shop, somebody told him, ‘Why don’t you sell jewelry?’ So he did, as a side hustle,” his grandson said. “And became really, really good at it.” In 1980, his grandfather opened a jewelry shop on Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. In the ’90s, he sold it to the Torres family, so now it’s called Torres Omar Jewelers.
