    Cali Style Burrito
    Greg P.

    Tacos buscado is relatively new to the area. I didn't have high hopes for it so I waited a bit before check I them out but I'm glad I did. Shouldn't have waited that long. The place is located at an intersection of Addison and forest preserve so it's real convenient. It's small but clean inside, not really I sit down place. There are some stools where you can eat but it's more tailored for take out. I initially tried the California burrito and the barbacoa taco. The taco was small, street taco size but packed with meat. It's was good but I found the barbacoa was over salted. The burrito was really good, however it had a little too many fries and not enough steak the first time I ordered. Every time since (and I've had it for like a week straight :)) it's been much better. I'm a bit fan of the burrito, the steak is nice and flavorful.it just hits the spot. Their salsas are really unique too! The have a orange and a green salsa. I'm a big fan of both. The green is a little more spicy but both are nice and thick, I'm not a big fan of watery salsas so thats a big plus. They have great flavor and the heat is just enough to complement the food. If you're nearby give tacos buscado a try. I think it's some of the best Mexican food in this area.

    This Mexican-Venezuelan Fusion restaurant embodies what the Norridge Area needs, quality over quantity style foods. On this visit, I first tried the Beef Empanada, boy oh boy I had an empanada before, but not like this. The dough on the outside is a corn meal handmade mix which truly set the tone for me getting ready to write a review immediately. And the beef was more of a shredded beef which seems to be the ongoing choice in this restaurant. It was given to me for free courtesy of the cashier Marco, but after eating it I felt as if I stole it because it was definitely worth the $2.50 humbly could've been even more by how good it was. Next up I had one Steak Taco which in my honest opinion wasn't the most memorable part of my visit, and was actually the main reason I came in, but like I said before... quality over quantity. Although it was very petite coming in at about 4 inches, the thoughtfulness of them choosing authentic Skirt Steak over whatever these other restaurants choose that makes you kind of question what your eating cough... cough.. TBK..cough... truly puts my faith in them for the future of what they decide to do next with their tacos. I'm sure that getting a taco meal would honestly suffice and that should truly fill you up. Boy howdy, now this last one truly took me out of Chicago.. I had the ever so popular Pabellon Arepa which brought so much of my Miami Origin taste buds flying in to my mouth. I tasted a sense of Cuba and Venezuela in the Hialeah area and a hint of Haiti in the Miami-Dade area. No wonder why this is the most popular Arepa of the restaurant, a beautifully crafted shredded juicy beef, perfectly cooked plantains (big kudos to the chef on this one) and black beans with cheese to follow... I knew this was my new Venezuelan dish. Although a relatively new restaurant overtaking a hand me down building from several different restaurants that just couldn't survive the area. This place was very very clean! I was on the inside sitting down which was met with a very polite employee cleaning the chairs and tables before the next customer even walked in was a sign this place could be trusted. The customer service in this restaurant. Marco treated me like he knew me which in most parts gets my business 100%. A pretty well ran restaurant in my full opinion can't wait to see what this restaurant does next! 4/5

    Searching for places to eat in the area and this place popped up. I don't normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. The arepa de pabellon, tacos, and churros were absolutely delicious--just a little annoyed I had to share them. Service was excellent and quick! We will be back to try everything else!

    A true Venezuelan gem in the heart of Chicago's Loop!…read more As a Venezuelan, finding a place like Bien Me Sabe right in the middle of Chicago's financial district honestly blew my mind. Surrounded by office buildings and big companies, this spot brings a real taste of Venezuela to the Loop and people know it. I saw so many non-Venezuelans coming in for lunch, which says a lot about how good this place is. They serve arepas with huge, flavorful fillings, cachapas, and Venezuelan bowls that look and taste amazing. Everything was fresh, and the service was super fast and friendly. The empanaditas come in orders of three, same with the tequeños, and they're perfectly stuffed, small enough to try different flavors, which I loved. They also have natural juices. I had a passion fruit one and it was delicious, perfectly sweet, super cold, and really refreshing. They even sell Frescolita, Malta, and all those drinks that make Venezuelans instantly nostalgic. There's plenty of space to sit, and the location couldn't be more convenient. Honestly, this place is a 10 out of 10. Whether you're grabbing something quick or sitting down for lunch, it's perfect. The portions are generous, the food is complete, protein, carbs, flavor, everything you need in one plate. It's not the cheapest spot in town, but that's just how Venezuelan food is, and trust me, it's absolutely worth every dollar. If you're in Chicago, especially around the Loop, and want something truly Venezuelan, Bien Me Sabe is the place to go.

Al llegar al restaurante, la misma persona me informó que le dio mi comida a otra persona porque la comida no estaba paga.

Lo que es aún peor, manejé 30 minutos para recoger la comida y ni una disculpa me ofrecieron por su falta de profesionalismo. En otras instancias, el deber del personal de un restaurante es cobrar el pedido por teléfono o devolverme la llamada para confirmar que el pedido será recogido. Por todas estas fallas, además del bajo nivel de profesionalismo al no disculparse por el error cometido, no recomiendo el Ricón de Fabio y, por mi parte, no volveré a este restaurante. READ IN ENGLISH BELOW Not recommended at all, a pathetic service. I ordered Christmas food for my family by phone and the person who took my order did not charge me over the phone. When I arrived at the restaurant, the same person informed me that they gave my food to someone else because the food was not paid for. My question was why they did not charge me for the food over the phone, and what they responded was, "but how am I going to charge you over the phone?", a practice that is totally normal, charging the customer over the phone. What is even worse, I drove 30 minutes to pick up the food and they did not even offer me an apology for their lack of professionalism. In other instances, the duty of restaurant staff is to charge for the order over the phone or call me back to confirm that the order will be picked up. For all these failures, in addition to the low level of professionalism shown by not apologizing for the mistake made, I do not recommend El Rincón de Fabio and, on my part, I will not return to this restaurant.

    I went here with my best friend and my hubby to celebrate my birthday with a great birthday dinner…read more We were in the Chi already visiting Atlas Stationary as a self-proclaimed station and fountain pen freak so we figured why not?!? I had heard great things about Carnivale prior to so please note that prior reservations were already made but regardless, it was all our first times there and we were stoked to finally try this place out. When we first got there, the outside was very unassuming. Some awesome graffiti on the wall (yes, angel wings included) and lots of color which made me so happy! As we entered, we were greeted by lots of colored flora on the walls and the floor. It led to a beautiful lounge where we checked in. The hostess was quite kind and they escorted us to another room that had multiple floors, two I believe. We were sitting in the main dining area where dining tables were set up and the ceiling lights and decorations were super-duper colorful. It was brightly lit and festive. Seriously, the colors alone could make anyone happy and do a serious dopamine overload which was fine with me. We sat down, was introduced to our server, Oscar and then given menu's. I genuinely thought that this place was pretty small initially because it looked small from the outside but boy was I wrong! This place was MASSIVE. But! I digress, now that we had our menu's-- Let the party begin!! We started with the ceviche tasting which included four types of ceviche; shrimp, Yucatan style hamachi, salmon and tuna. All were really good with their own really distinct flavors but our top favorites were the salmon and the tuna. The salmon had a kick while the tuna had a great balance of heat and sweetness. Great way to start of this dinner! My bestie ordered coconut shrimp and smoked mushroom croquettes for her main meal. My hubs ordered the carne asado while I ordered the lechon asada. I also want to add that we ordered Mexican street corn on the side alongside mashed potatoes and Peruvian Jalea. Ah and before I forget, we also ordered our drinks which consisted of a: sangria, margarita, Cotton Candy Cosmo and Salva Honduran Pilsner. All were spectacular and made the night that more enjoyable as well! When we received our food. We were all really enjoyed it as we all shared our bites amongst one another. The coconut shrimp was well breaded and you tasted the coconut as well. The shrimps were large and juicy. The smoked mushroom croquettes were good with a smokey flavor and good breading, however, the breading may have a been a little thick because you couldn't really taste the mushroom,m unfortunately. The carne asado was the star of the show. Well seasoned steak, cooked medium rare which was juicy and succulent. The lechon asado was good. Although I'm not used to eating lechon asado that is covered in sauce, the sauce was super tasty so I didn't mind the tender, juicy pork that was covered in it. I really enjoyed it. I think the only thing that I wish was different with regards to my lechon asado is that I wish it were hotter because it was luke warm when I received it. Other than that, it was....*chef's kiss*. The Mexican street corn was alright, it honestly just tasted like regular corn with mayonaise in it with some cheese. Didn't add anything significant to the meal. The mashed potatoes were soft but not too soft and buttery. They were really good and then the Purvian Jalea was another favorite, super good! The calamari, fish and shrimp with the Purvian Jalea were absolutely delicious; fresh, tasty and well breaded. It was absolutely yummalicious. To top the night off, they gave me a little birthday treat of cotton candy and carmel popcorn. We also had some tres leches which was so yummy because the fruit was fresh and you could taste the milk in the tender cake and then we had the chocolate cigar. The chocolate cigar was also really good, everything except the label was edible, It was smokey, chocolately and delectable. It's presentation was also so creative. We all loved it. Overall, this restaurant is SUPER PRICY but SUPER WORTH IT. I am so glad that I was able to go there to celebrate a special occasion because it would not be a place that I could go to on a regular basis but as much as I wish I was, ya girl ain't rich like that. The service was superb, the employees were kind, the food was fire and drinks were scrumptious. If you're looking for a fun, Latin cuisine inspired, creative, yummy way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion with a fun Latin twist--look no further, that is it! Check it out and you won't be disappointed. Now, I'm sorry for my novel and you may now go back to your normal programming schedule. If you do end up coming here and loving it -- i told ya so ;)

I tried numerous little items from this place, including the mandocas or corn fritters, pastelitos de queso or cheese pastelitos, and the shredded beef empanada. Everything was really quite good flavor wise, very cheap, and overall just gave a nice street food kind of vibe. The corn fritters were really good. Fried crispy on the outside and a bit oily, but not in a bad way. They were surprisingly quite sweet and fluffy in the inside. Cheap and delicious. The beef empanada came in a large portion, and I really enjoyed it. The beef was well seasoned, flavorful, and had a fantastic texture. It wasn't too bready. I loved the green and slightly creamy sauce they served with the empanada. Great. The cheese pastelitos were probably my least favorite of the few items I tried, I thought they weren't all that flavorful, but definitely weren't bad by any means. Filling was decent with a good amount of cheese, but just not a ton of flavor to them. All in all, a very nice place to get street food type of items and more substantial items too, like cachapas and arepas. I'd definitely recommend this spot.
