"El Gran Castillo de Jagua feels like a true neighborhood spot—on the menu, for example, the asopao is called “soupy rice,” which sounds like one of those things a regular called it once, and it just stuck. The Prospect Heights staple has served breakfast, lunch, and dinner since 1983, and it works for any of those meals. In the morning, order mangu with queso frito, and at lunch or dinner get a spread of roast chicken, mofongo with roast pork, and of course, that soupy rice." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
