Awesome, fairly priced Venezuelan spot located in the Hermosa neighborhood of Chicago. Definitely has a homey vibe as soon as you walk through the door. Ordered the Pabellón Arepa and it was delicious. Pretty much all the servers and cooks are Venezuelan so you know it’s legit.
I tried the vegan 2 with cheese- the plantains were easily the best part. Perfectly cooked and delicious. I thought the black beans were a bit too much and somewhat bland. Not the best arepas I've had but pretty good. I wish they had more sauces since the ingredients in the arepa itself weren't seasoned- they had a green salsa & a creamy sauce. Service was good and there is plenty of paid street parking available. The place closes early- at 8 but they were nice enough to allow us to stay past 8.
Amazing food, good service and awesome prices. Felt like home.
Everything was excellent. I've been to Venezuela twice, and the food is authentic. Good service. The outdoor patio seems wonderful to eat in during the summertime.
Great and interesting food. Cute courtyard. Good prices. A real Chicago gem
