“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”

“This is the best Venezuelean food I have had.”
This is the best Venezuelean food I have had. The empanada crust was perfect, and the stuffing was seasoned just right. If you are a fan of cilantro, definitely try adding the creamy cilantro sauce. They have hot sauce too that is kind of creamy, but be careful a lot goes a long way.

“This place has the best Latin food in Chicagoland.”
This place has the best Latin food in Chicagoland. I can't recommend it enough. Try an area, any arepa. They're all tasty. Beware of the hot sauce. Latin hot is next level. There is a grocery store around the corner for you to BYOB into El Rincon.

“The food and service were amazing.”
The food and service were amazing. The “The Queen” arepa (comes with 2) was delicious, the Chicha drink was also nice and then we ordered some churros that were crispy and warm. Our waiter was kind and available to answer questions. 100% would recommend.

“Being Venezuelan it’s sometimes hard to find food that tastes exactly like the one I grew up with.”
Being Venezuelan it’s sometimes hard to find food that tastes exactly like the one I grew up with. But this.. this was amazing I loved everything that I ordered -which was chicha and a cachapa- it tasted like being back home and will definitely will be going back.

First time visitor and will be back again. Online ordering was quick and easy, food was ready at set time. Fabio was so welcoming and friendly. Ordered a shredded beef empanada and a pabellon arepa both were incredible. Large portions full of flavor

“Omg I just can not even explain how amazing this food was here.”
Omg I just can not even explain how amazing this food was here. We had seen this place on social media, and they were not lying. The Venezuela taste appetizer was so full of flavors that meat was fantastic. Then I ordered the arapa la veguera and I kept just nodding my head, saying yes omg so good. My bf had the chicken combo #2 and it was delish. The chicha never had it, but it was good. Definitely will be coming back. Muchas gracias por la comina y el servicio Todo estaba perfecto.

“Wow!! Venezuelan food is my new favorite -- everything was delicious. I visited with a few friends...”
Wow!! Venezuelan food is my new favorite -- everything was delicious. I visited with a few friends where we ordered food and worked on our laptops. The food was great and the staff were very kind to us. Also, there was a person who was causing a commotion in front of the restaurant. The owners handled the situation with respect and humanity. Good people own this restaurant and we will be back!!
