We usually order this out, and it is so consistent and so good every time. The empanadas are cornmeal and amazing. The arepas authentic. The chicken creole is our favorite. The egg and cheese is good, classic. The kids love the rice and beans and plantains. My nine year old is obsessed with the sobre barriga. Spicy green sauce is very good. We haven't had anything we didn't like. Inside of the restaurant is small and more like a cafe but very authentic.
I got the pork belly arepa tacos and they were incredible. The soft corn shell was thinner than the regular arepas but thicker than a typical taco shell. The pork belly was tender and crispy and it came with a refreshing ceviche and green salsa which balanced them out nicely. This item seems like a perfect blend of Colombian and Mexican cuisine to create a delicious new food. Can’t wait to come back!
Have tried Colombian arepas before and was not so amused but after trying this place, i changed my mind. Loved the steak and cheese arepa. But way more impressed with their empanadas. Probably one of the best in Chicago. Especially the guava and cheese. But all of then had a good impressive flavor. Definitely will visit again to try more
