Irazu is Chicago’s first and only Costa Rican restaurant!! As soon as you walk in you’ll be greeted by large smiles, savory scents, and lively Latin music.

Serving the cuisine and flavor of our country since 1990, this has been the ultimate dream turned reality for our family. We feel fortunate to have the unique opportunity to share a wide sample of our traditional home-cooked foods to the Chicago-land area. Whether you are dining in, carrying out or catering, we hope that your entire experience proves to be “pura vida” which means literally pure li

Here are a few pics from our Sueños Eve party Friday night 🇨🇷🌿

The energy in this place was something special. Good music, good people, great food, and that Pura Vida feeling that just takes over when the whole community comes together under one roof.

The Irazú family are so grateful for every single one of you who came out and made it unforgettable.

If you missed it, don’t worry. We’re always cooking something up. Stay close 👀

We did it. 🏆🇨🇷

This past Wednesday, Henry accepted the Best Latin Food award at the 2026 Legacy Business Poll, presented by Special Service Area #33 in Wicker Park Bucktown.

Hundreds of community members voted for their favorite neighborhood businesses that have been serving this area for 15 years or more, and you voted for us.

36 years ago, Mom had a dream. Dad helped build it. Henry has carried it forward every single day since 2006. This award belongs to all three of them, and to every one of you who has made Irazú your home away from home.

We are Bucktown. And Bucktown is us. Pura Vida. 🤍

In Costa Rica, Pura Vida isn’t just a saying for sunny days. It’s for all of them. ☀️🌧️

A Beso Caliente (warm kiss) and a Tico Tropicana on a cloudy Wednesday? That’s Pura Vida in a glass. 🍹✨

Come find yours with Henry and the crew. 🤝
