What do you get when you fuse a South American Country's food with a well known Central European…read moreCountry's food? You get Polombia, one of the only (that I know of) restaurants that brings together Poland and Colombian cuisine. I had gone to their former location in the now closed Washington Food Hall and enjoyed the cuisine immensely....but a couple weeks ago, I went to their current location in the Ogilvie Train Station within their food court. This time around, I decided to play it safe and try their paczki burger that of course has a Colombian twist. The bun itself was the paczki part but the inside it had an angus patty with melted cheese, sofrito, pickled slaw, and a garlic and tomato Aioli. It also had pickles in it too. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty and satisfying the burger was. It was neither too sweet nor too savory....something that I'd try again in a heartbeat. Check this location out. But note that its towards the back of the food court and could be easily missed. They also have a stand at Rate Field, Home of the Chicago White Sox.

I checked their IG and website for their hours and headed off to explore. When I arrived at the food court, I found the location shuttered. I sent a message on IG letting them know to update their opening hours and mentioned how disappointed I was. I got a response right away and after chatting for a bit, they offered to come in, open up the location and prepare food for me! This is exemplary customer service and ensures that I will recommend this place to anyone visiting Chicago. Also, the food was delicious!

Casual friendly atmosphere, the patio was lovely. A friend and I split a skirt steak pepito and the casado, the national dish of Costa Rica, with coconut shrimp.

The food was really good but I didn't give it 5 stars cause it's hard to gauge against anything else since there aren't any CR eateries. Also my immediate family all do not live in CR or near me. This makes things hard. I had the Casado Talapia, it was delicious but thinking back I would have tried the Casado de carne (beef). Asked about an item not on their menu...hígado y cebollas (liver steak and onions) my fave...alas, they informed me that they could have had it but I would have had to call a day ahead.

Note: they automatically warm them for you (which is amazing) so if you are buying a bunch for later, let them know. The selection will keep you coming back and you will discover new favorites!

The chicken tinga empanadas are my favorite savory option, and the strawberry and cheese are my favorite sweet option. Tried the cantaloupe (melon) agua fresca, good flavor, but lacked sweetness.

The discount applied during check out and then when I went to pay it didn't actually apply. I had submitted the order and immediately called them. The girl who picked up was very kind and apologetic and said she will try to get her manager to help. The manager said there may have been an issue with the third party site and they could not refund me, but he was willing to either give me free drinks or Zelle me the difference. I will admit that on the phone I was a bit frustrated (and hangry), am I am pleasantly surprised how they handled it (and now I admittedly feel a bit guilty!). My boyfriend said thwhen he went in to pick up the food the manager came out to shake his hand and apologize. Lastly....the cherry on top which blew me away...the food was AMAZING. We ordered the vegan quesabiria, vegan tacos, and vegan pambazos and it was all WOW. I am so impressed overall. I really appreciate their customer service and the amazing quality of their food. Will go back again and I will be recommending this place to my friends!
