Morena's Kitchen

Miriam Montes de Oca closed her Belmont Cragin restaurant during the COVID-19 lockdown, but brought back her beloved Dominican fried chicken in 2024 in at a new space in Humboldt Park. Made with a secret recipe, the golden meat is served alongside fried plantains and a little bit of lime to brighten up the flavor. Pair it with a Dominican soda or passion fruit juice.
