Review Arepa George - Chicago

Cassie Dennis
You MUST try this place! Found this place online for takeout South American food. The menu had wonderful choices and made a large order. Shortly thereafter they politely called me to get my sides choices because I forgot to fill them out. So helpful. When I got there to pick up the food, they immediately greeted me professionally and warmly, and let me know it was being bagged. While I waited the very few minutes, I checked out the cozy place. It was cute and spotless. I could even see a bit of the kitchen--super clean. And it smelled amazing. The scents made my mouth water. I got the food to my friends' home and the food was even better than I anticipated--and I had high hopes. Fresh ingredients, great spicing and the food cooked perfectly. Can't wait until next time!

Came to check out this tiny little spot that did not disappoint. We are fans of Colombian cuisine and super critical since it is native to my adoptive parents. The food was delicious, shout out to the salad, it was very impressive! The meats were perfectly cooked and overall we were satisfied. Sidenote: The menus in-house do not have prices, which I found a little odd. All line items default to MP - Market Price, but they weren't serving seafood. I'm not familiar with every item on a menu being market price. 🤔 And after the bill came I was a bit shocked that the food was so expensive.

Food was great, menu that was handed to us had no pricing , however Qr codes are available with prices . Everything was fresh , hott and delicious. Would have liked for some arepas with out cheese. Recommend trying them out !.

Allison is very attentive and helpful/friendly. It was our first time trying Colombian food, and it was absolutely delicious. She is a gem and surprised us with a coffee dessert at the end! Highly highly recommend it, both I and my father loved it. Thank you!

Amazing place with true traditional Colombian food.

Best Colombian food I've had in the US. Being far from home is not always an easy task, especially when you start missing the food. This place brings you a lot closer home. They have great food and service. We had the Bandeja Paisa; beans were on point, and the chorizo and chicharron were amazing. Empanadas were really good and have a really good "salsa rosada" that I hadn't seen in a while! Overall an amazing experience.

I discovered this place when delivering for Amazon. You know, when you go to a restaurant and you look at the menu and you have no idea what to order because you’ve never tasted or even seen any of the dishes? This was my first time in a Colombian restaurant. Stop and check it out. You will like it. Would be a perfect place for a date accept it’s busy especially at dinner time. They have outside dining tables as well. I have a friend in Medellin, Colombia and it seems like the menu is a bit different than their local obviously. He recommended these: ‘Paisa tray, cheese mote, egg arepa, salted meat stew or beef rib’, but everyone has a different taste. 🙏

so delicious. i was looking for a good meal while i study and they did not disappoint. i got the arroz con pollo which comes as rice and peas with tasty shredded chicken and smoky sausage, and some sweet platanos on the side. i put the mild green sauce on it 🤤 rica the meal was filling and felt healthier than what i usually pickup for food, more like a home made meal. i will probably come here often when i don't feel like cooking. to drink i had jugo de mango made with water, which is thicker than regular juice but thinner than a smoothie. that hit the spot, but my first word was mango so you know i love it 🥭 i dont like milk though so the option with water is fine. will for sure come back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've eaten here a few times now and it's always good! Staff is professional, food comes out quickly, and it's been super good every time.

Small dining room requires you to wait to be seated during peak hours. Service is attentive and helpful. Food is authentic and tasty.

Picked this up for a hangover recovery lunch today and was seriously impressed. The arepas are of course delicious but the empanadas were the star. Lunch special is huge so there was a great dollar value there. We will definitely be coming back

Happy I finally got a chance to try out ArePA George. The food was good and came out quickly. My kids INHALED the Humboldt Park lunch special. The menu had a lot of options but it wasn’t overwhelming (which I always appreciate, especially when trying out a new place). The service was great, very very friendly and attentive. I kept it simple and got delicious arepas de queso. Great portion size, very filling.

Wow!!! Really good multi culture restaurant. First time trying Columbian food, it kinds seem like Puerto Rican food with a sour twist. Definitely will try it again. Host was very polite and the cook came out to greet us.

I love the arepas in this place, service it was really good and friendly, the mango juice is really good. We try this place many times, the food is really fresh and tasty but don’t recommend the new drinks (coconut lemonade and mango lemonade) they’re too sour. The chicken lemonade is ok but nothing special, if you want to try something try the typical plates. And of course don’t forget to add empanadas to your meal they are delicious.

A lovely cute little spot. Almost everything on the menu is gluten-free and safe for coeliac- just double check with the manager or chef that nothing breaded has been in the frier that day. Reasonably priced and large portions. Highly recommend the empanadas and bandeja paisa.

There are many places in the city that dont live up to the hype. ArePA George is not one of those places. This Food was so fresh it couldn't have been better. I was blown away. This will now be one of my go to Colombian food spots. High key the only place i know with Arepas rellenas and honestly the best ones ypu can have outside of Colombia itself. Great menu option. Great service. Very homestyle and just a great atmosphere. Que delicia. Buena opcion para cualquier dia de la semana. � will be returning.

I went to Colombia two years ago and loves the quick snack of an arepa while I was there so I was excited to see an arepa place open down the street from me. I ordered a chicken, beef and Colombian sausage arepa. They were fantastic. Out of the three I liked the sausage arepa the best. We also ordered three various juices and they too were just as good as I had hoped. The owner (maybe the owner) was super nice and helpful too! I'll be back often this summer.

Delicious food. The owner Juan gave me a free corn cake while I waited for my food that I took to go. Can't wait to sit down and eat a proper meal. This will be my new go-to for Colombian food.
Paige Davis
This place was amazing!!! Empanadas were the best I've ever eaten. Very inviting and Juan treated us like kings. Excellent service.
Nina-Marie Rueda
Their food is so good, I'd say they are underpriced! Their arroz con pollo is a must-eat. While they have deliveries through GrubHub and UberEats, you HAVE to dine in. The staff is super friendly and service was fast. You won't regret eating at ArePA George.
