This is a Mexican and Venezuelan fusion restaurant. The inside is small with many employees working. The staff is quick and very friendly. The food was some of the best I have ever had in Chicagoland. The starters were amazing and the main courses were even better. Unbelievable flavor and an unforgettable restaurant. 5/5 would go again.

I loved this restaurant, the food and the service! Food is very tasty. I ordered their smoky margarita( i think that is what is called) it has a jalapeño but is not spicy. The food was tasty specially that green cilantro sauce with the plantains chips they put in front of you! I would highly recommend the arepas as appetizer they were the bomb! They also have a beautiful rooftop and second floor that looks like you are dinning in a nice apartment. Now the desert, how do i even start! The besitos are a must… I can honestly say I are so much i could not even get up. The waitress Stephanie was a sweetheart and she knows her stuff. You ask her any recommendations of food and will not be disappointed. I would definitely go back.

Amazing! Everything we ate was delicious. From the plantain chips to the pork arepas to the salmon to the chicken and steak. Absolutely wonderful. The service was fantastic as well. When we mentioned it was our first time they bought us the dessert of donuts filled with dulche de leche. Which was the perfect end to our meal. 100% will be back. I’m sure parking on the weekend would be tough but so worth it!

First time here! We enjoyed the food. You can definitely feel the care that went into the preparation of the meal. My wife is vegetarian and they had many options for her which is great since I eat me and she doesn’t. I had the chicken with came with mashed potatoes. Portion was perfect and excellent preparation. They provide fried plantain chips and chimichur salsa. We will visit again!!!

My lack of stars is due to observing two insects during our visit. They were clearly not just passing through as they kept appearing for the duration of our dining. I am not an entomologist, so I won’t throw the names around, but they do look like something you need to address as quickly as you can. The food and drinks are amazing, but our entire party was struggling to get the food down because of this.

Great South American Cousine. The best in town. Wonderful Argentinian wine. The ambience takes you to the South of the continent. Dishes very fresh with wonderful flavor. Best service… Your money will be well spent on that delicious meat. Do you want to celebrate anything special? —

Chef Tony and team do an amazing job! Here are the must haves…. Fried Plantains with Chimichurry, Chupil de Camarones, and the Arepas. The Besitos (South American Donuts) are incredible. If you have room after all that, the Entrees are all worth a try. We recently went for my wife’s birthday and had a great time.

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. However, it took a long time to be addressed by our server. The empanadas appetizer was good. Our cocktails were pricey and didn’t quite taste right. The salad was fabulous but our ribeye meal was just average.
