Came in for lunch yesterday. Very good meal. I got the Puerto Rico Rice with pork and egg on top. Meal was scrumptious+ savory. I thought that the rice could benefit from some more garlic....

History
When husband-and-wife owner Amy Le and John Keebler opened the first Saucy Porka location in 2013, they wanted the restaurant to be the home where those memories and experiences lived. It was the memories from their grandmothers, mothers and aunts that taught them that a recipe is nothing without the love and soul one puts into it. In conceiving the menu, chef Amy Le, who began her culinary foray with the popular DucknRoll food truck, teamed up with former food-truck chef Rafael Lopez, to pay homage to the home-style cooking rooted in their Latin and Asian cultures. While Chef Lopez has moved on to pursue a career in accounting, he continues to consult the restaurant and inspire the menu. Playing with the bold flavors and spices found in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Latin America and Asia, the menu is a mosaic of simple comfort foods. Saucy Porka's second location will opened in the bustling Hyde Park neighborhood in 2018.

I got the duck Banh mi and it was so delicious. I was nervous the duck would be dry but it was not dry at all and it so soft and easy to eat. The plum sauce on it made this delicious contrast....
