Venezuelan Bowl - Chicago

This restaurant is a great spot for delicious casual Venezuelan cuisine. It's not too formal, but it's definitely a step above street food. The food is amazing - the cachapa was cheesy, savory, and slightly sweet, while the pabellon bowl was hearty and flavorful. The service was friendly and the menu had authentic options at reasonable prices. However, our table was a bit wobbly and our water pitcher was not refilled. The atmosphere, while good, could use a bit more hominess. Overall, I would give this restaurant a 9/10 for atmosphere, 9/10 for service, and a solid 10/10 for the fantastic food.

This restaurant offers an extremely authentic and enjoyable experience, from the food and music to the decor and wait staff! The lunch special is a great deal, starting with a small bowl of lentil soup followed by a cheese arepa, a bowl of rice, beans, and your choice of chicken or steak, all topped with pico de gallo and a delicious light sauce that complements it perfectly. A tip from me: try putting some meat and pico in your arepa for a special, authentic treat! I can't wait to come back for dinner - it was delicious and so much fun! Yum!

Very good food. Love the bowls and have never had better fried plantains. Also have very good/unique juice options. Big fan of the Venezuelan Lemonade. Not super cheap but I think the portions reflect their price well and the taste of them makes the dishes worth even more than they cost.

This was my first experience with Venezuelan dining. The dishes were appetizing, and the staff made everyone feel as if they were more than customers. Friendly and warm, with artwork and history on every wall. I would highly recommend stopping through for a family dinner and a great experience.

Very nice place, some of the items range $12-$17 but believe me, they are good. 'The arepas ' are so good, I tried the one with shredded beef and shredded cheese. The don 't sell alcohol, however the place is BYOB. The staff is friendly and our server (a young Venezuelan guy) was super nice. I 'd definitely recommend the place for eating.
