Delish sandwiches - Edit
Had plantain fries, tropical vegan areapa, and vegan postones. Ths tofu was marinated in a delicious way I've never had, with warm flavorings, and the corn bread and fried plantains were comforting.

True Comfort Food - Edit
The Tropical Vegan arepa was so tasty. It came with a white sauce, I went back up to the counter and verified that it was vegan. The black beans were so flavorful, I could have eaten just those!!

Hearty & Tasty - Edit
Authentic Venezuelan restaurant in busy downtown Chicago Loop location, close to the Art Institute. (There is another location on the North side, this review is for Loop location.) They have a couple of vegan options: an arepa and a bowl. The portions are huge - I ate half of my bowl which was brown rice (or white), black beans, plantains, and guasacasa (Venezuelan version of guacamole) plus a very good hot sauce on the side, if you want. Next time I will try the arepa, which also looked fabulous. The foods were cooked well (not overcooked/mush), the flavors were excellent, and it's a good value for the amount of food you get!
Read morePros: Tasty and delicious, Good value for the amount of food vs. price
