Saucy Porka

Asian + Latin fusion!? Nice! Bacos (bao tacos ) were okay, but the chorizo egg rolls were crazy delicious & the sweet potato fries were honestly the best I've ever had... Curry dipping sauce , FTW!

This popular daytime spot recreates the childhood memories of owner Amy Le and chef Rafael Lopez through blended dishes like bao tacos , “Asian-style” paella , pork carnitas pho and more. Read more

Great flavors but high amount of sodium in most dishes. Amazing staff though! Had the miso short rib bowl, chorizo egg rolls , and the friendly staff gave us a tasting of the pozole soup for free (!).

The sweet potato curry fries are not to be missed. Burnt-orange crinkle-cut fries are topped with crumbled queso fresco cheese and paired with a heavenly curry aioli dipping sauce on the side. Read more

Put a twist on lunch at owner Amy Le and chef Rafael Lopez’s Asian-Latin spot. The pair dish out unique fusion bites like chorizo egg rolls , bao tacos Cubana banh mi , Asian-style paella , and more.

This is the greatest place to get lunch in the loop. The Saucy Porka bahn mi is perfect and the bacos are great too. The staff is so friendly and I've never had a bad experience.

Do not miss out on the chorizo eggroll : slightly crisp shell hiding a sweet and spicy mix of chorizo , Chihuahua cheese , sweet potato and red cabbage , all dipped in an onion avocado aioli . Read more

Friendly staff , inexpensive QUALITY food. Officially one of my favorite places to eat in chicago. I've tried most of their dishes, and all were amazing!!

The short rib is so tender. The Paella is amazing and surprising. Better baos and bahns than the chain down the street!

Unique menu items include $7 umami nachos (tomato , cheese , scallion , pineapple , and choice of meat) and $3.50 sofrito marinated shrimp (with Asian slaw and served on a bao bun ). Read more

Super nice staff . The paella and egg rolls with avocado aiole sauce was delicious. Tasty and unique!

Chef Amy brought the same amazing flavors that make her Duck n Roll truck successful and then some. The Asian paella is a huge lunch but well worth the food coma it's bound to induce

Get the sweet potato-curry fries at Saucy Porka. The crinkle-cuts are showered with queso fresco and green onions and served with dunk-worthy curry aioli . Read more

Fast and friendly service . Had the pozole , Asian paella and short rib baco . Not sure if it's just today, but the flavors would've been nice had they not been overpowered by the extreme amount of salt.

Get a baco—a bao taco . I got the carnitas baco with pineapple salsa , delish! Where have these been all my life? Brilliant mashup!

The bacos are great. I especially like the short rib one. Also the saucy porka sandwich . The asian paella is good but a little salty.

Asian Paella (really claypot rice ) and Pork Ramen Soup (deeply flavorful Pho broth ) - both awesome.

The sandwich by the same name of its establishment is worth the journey alone (but don't count out their bao )

The Po’boy was tasty and the price was fair . I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

I can't think of a better lunch spot than this place. Get there early or late to avoid the rush and eat absolutely anything.

Everything I've tried so far is great. Love the Asian Paella and the donuts especially.

You must go here! A fusion of Asian and Latin food that is divine. Love the bakos.

The tofu Baco at Saucy Porka is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more

Mojito Lemonade is a superbly refreshing must-have!

Pork ramen soup smells so good and tastes amazing. Very flavorful!

the miso short rib on rice is sooooooo tender & exceptional...!!! also the pork ramen ...!!!

Short Rib on rice is their signature dish - superb.

Short rib baco is solid. And the pork ramen is just perfect.

Obviously, the bacos are delish, but don't pass on the sweet-potato fries

Chorizo egg rolls are the best!
