I’ve been to Rica Arepa a few times and I always forget to take some pictures or write about it. They have multiple locations but I frequent the one on North Lincoln here in Chicago. Their staff is always friendly and you can’t help but have a good time.
I started the meal with Mini Cachapas Con Queso
This simple fried maize flour dish is like little pancakes folded over with cheese in the middle. They are slightly sweet and make for a great snack.
Being that I had a long day ahead of me, my second dish was the Rica Arepa Breakfast
This dish comes with an arepa, scrambled eggs, ham, avocado, and cheese. I combined all of these with bites of the arepa and it is deceivingly filling.
I forgot to snap a picture of it but Rica Arepa’s Venezuelan Lemonade is a must at this stop. It is easily one of my favorite drinks on a hot day.
I hope you get the chance to stop by Rica Arepa as they are one of my favorite spots in Lincoln Park.
