EL RINCON DE FABIO

I found this place while walking during my lunch trying to figure out what i wanted to eat.
Well let me tell you that “Fabio” knows what hes doing
Walked in around 11:15am Thursday
Got greeted and she recommended “the queen” arepas
Which are la reina pepiada stuff arepa
I also got intrigued by the yuca fries with cheese
I had to take it to go but the place looked nice and clean especially the outdoor patio
The food was amazing
It was a good size order and the way they package it with the sauce and cheese on the side was helpful
I think i waited max no more than 8 minutes for my order which helps when we have such a short time to eat
I will definitely come back again

My mom found this place thru Social media and asked me to take her there to give them a try to this new Venezuelan restaurant. I was little confused on the location since Argyle it's pretty much an asian area with Vietnamese, Chinese and thai food restaurant. When we arrived at the location its was actually super cute and colorful. The manager welcome us and explained us the menu and how to order. My mom got the pork latin bowl (Rice, Beans, cabbage, selected sauce and the protein ) I got the pabello Arepa (Shredded beef, beans, cheese and plantain). Both plates were delicious I ate those arepas so fast cause there were so good. They are BYOB which its always A+ on any restaurant in chicago plus accept apple pay. In general I had a great meal, I would command to try other stuff.

Don't sleep on this place. It will blow you away!!
The service was fast and very kind.
The food was amazing. I had the beef empanada and it was worth every penny. Sweet, savory. And filling. Also the Arepas are really fantastic. A single order of them both is a perfect amount of food 😍 I will definately be back.

It was our first time trying Venezuelan food and i must say everything tasted delicious. We went for the Tacos and the Taste of Venezuela (sampler). The Brisket taco was good but they forgot to add the spicy sauce, it could’ve been even better with the sauce. The sampler came with empanada, arepa and patacon. It was delicious but all 3 kind of tasted similar. Portions were good and the food tasted fresh. Definitely stop by and try Venezuelan food if you haven’t. Costumer service was great and the restaurant is very colorful and vibrant.

Highly recommended!!! The food is delicious and authentic and the prices are good too. As a Venezuelan living in Chicago I’m very happy having this Restaurant near my place in Uptown. Now I have a place to go and eat like in my hometown VENEZUELA 🇻🇪.
