BienMeSabe Venezuelan Arepa Bar

Fantastic food! The pabellon bowl was delicious and filling. The bowl included rice, beans, shredded beef, and cheese. The portion size was generous. I could barely finish. The owner is friendly and attentive to customers.

The food is really good. Like others said, the arepas are generously stuffed. Me and my husband ordered the vegan options, black beans, mushrooms and I added guacamole (forgot their word for it). My son ordered a bowl with chicken and other good stuff. I love it very fresh and arepas slightly crunchy on the outside. I also like it that you can always add flavour with their sauces. I personally prefer milder flavour so it fits me perfectly. Love this place and will definitely visit it again.

Bland, bland, blah. Overpriced for canned beans, hard rice, and unseasoned food.

Everything was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes and service were great. 10/10 recommend the fries tostones and After Party Arepa.

The pulled pork arepa was amazing! Juicy tender meat, crunchy bread, loaded with cheese, guasacaca (Venezuelian style guac) and homemade sauce. Thanks to the staff for the recommendation, I will visit again next time I'm in the Loop!

Friendly staff and cheerful atmosphere. Can’t go wrong with the generous meat, cheese and plantain options - NOT over-salted. Wasn’t my day for fresh salad leaves, but the cucumbers and tomatoes were perfect. The parboiled rice lended a nice chewy texture. Mild seasoning that my picky family all enjoyed.

First time here, and I ordered the tropical area with beans, sweet plantains and shredded chicken with the corn flour bread and it was really good, will come here again soon.

Stopped by for a quick lunch while visiting Chicago. It was a late lunch, so wasn't crowded at all. Walked right up and ordered the Pabellon Arepa and found a spot at the window seating.

They brought it out within 5 minutes. Arepa was generously stuffed and was more than expected. Flavor of the beef, beans, plantains, and rice was very good. Simple ingredients, but tasted great.

Good place for quick, casual meal that tasted great.

First of their chicken avocado arepa which is probably the most famous one in Venezuelan cuisine was mediocre the chicken was bland and hard. The tostones were not good don’t even bother getting them unless you like them drenched in oil. The last issue which seems to be the case no matter which state you’re in Venezuelan food is overpriced for what it is.
