One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. It's a Venezuelan place that specializes in Arepas, and…read moreit is my go to place when my friend is family is visiting Chicago. The Bolivar Lincoln Platter, which includes Tequenos, Mandocas, Tajadas and Tostones with cheese are very delicious, especially if you enjoy plantains. The Pabellon, Cowboy, Hairy, Galipan Arepas were soooo good and flavorful, along with the sauces as well. The arepa itself is so fragrant (smelled like corn) and crispy, the beans are flavorful and homey, and the meat is always so well marinated. It is the perfect bite (if your jaw is big enough), and as all of my friends say when they first visit: this is the best arepa I have had. We have also tried the Blondie, Party Animal, Divina. They're all very good and well made. 10/10 recommend this place! I have gatekept this place for more than 2 years but now I'll let this secret out

It felt very cozy inside. The menu is decently sized and lots of options. I got the chicha to drink since I thought it was similar to an horchata. The consistency was more like a smoothie/shake but the flavor was good. Not sure if I would order again. The arepas we ordered were fire! They do not skimp on the arepa fillings. Very flavorful and filling. The dough of the empanada was really good! I would definitely come back!

It was very refreshing on a hot day. I also got the vegan patacones, which here is almost like a sandwich (like a jibarito) and it was SO good. The portion sizes are huge and all the food came out fairly quick. I'll definitely be coming here more often!

However, the past couple of times the quality of the food has diminished to the point of pure disappointment. The quantity too has suffered. See latest picture of my chicken arepa.

I cannot comment on the service or ambiance of the location because my usual is take out. Please bring the old quality and quantity back.
