Rica Arepa

Food + DrinkLakeview · Venezuelan Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2913 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657

Rica Arepa has built out a small Chicago footprint — three locations across Hermosa, Dunning, and this Lakeview spot — on the strength of a straightforward Venezuelan arepa menu.

$

The business leans into social media giveaways to build its following per local coverage, and the Lakeview location keeps near-daily hours that run from morning into early evening, making it as much a casual lunch option as a dinner spot.

It's a smaller, more low-key presence than some of the city's better-known Venezuelan restaurants, but the multi-location footprint says something about a loyal following.
