Founded in 1950, Cafe Central opened its doors on the corner of Madison and Laflin, the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Back then, it was a different era for the growing Puerto Rican community in Chicago. Puerto Rican men, who migrated to Chicago seeking work, yearned for a taste of their estranged island. It was here, at Cafe Central, where they were able to get Puerto Rican comfort food reminiscent of the island.
In the mid 1960’s Cafe Central relocated to its present day location at 1437 West Chicago Avenue in the West Town neighborhood remaining the oldest Puerto Rican restaurant in all of Chicago.
