Great, reminiscing of better times (Venezuela), food! Excellent service, authentic flavors, generous portions, fabulous athmosphere. Lunch special is THE DEAL (less than $10!!) but the best of all -the item to die for- was the CHICHA.
An excellent place food was fantastic I am Brazilian and my husband Venezuelan we Google this place to taste some of the delicious from venezuela and we sure satisfied the Asado Negro plate , tequeno , empanadas ... The coconut smoothie and rice smoothie everything was delicious! A must visit stop in chicago !
First time here, food was amazing,fresh, full of flavor,and great service..
Excellent food and service I would recommend it.
I love this place. I have to eat gluten free & there are so many options. AND it's BYOB!
Had a great time, very thankful to Blanca for the invitation. Delicious food and great company
Great service and the food was amazing! Tasted just like my mothers and grandmothers food. Loved every bite!
The fattest arepas in Chicago. They are not stingy on the fillings. Then the fillings and toppings are quite delicious. Some of the best eats in Chicago right here or take home.
Great food. A very nice lunch menu. 2 empanadas, a sandwich and a soda for $8.99. Good service.
Excellent food and service. Everyone should go and try some Venezuelan food and try the Hallacas which is a traditional Venezuelan dish for this time of the year. Good luck to the owners and employees of Bienmesabes for their one year anniversary, congrats and continue success.
I just had dinner here tonight with my friend, and everything was wonderful. From the appetizer Bienmesabe Sampler, to the Arepas Pabellón, the chicha and the quesillo, which was just wonderful. Our server was great, we really enjoyed talking to him. We really loved our dinner at Bienmesabe, and we will be back soon. Everything was great, you should definitely try it out.
Excellent service, very delicious food and a very nice outside place.
Very impressed by the excellent service and the assortment of Venezuelan favorites. Coffee was particularly memorable. We will definitely go back!
The tequeños were amazing! The little fried arepas were beyond tasty. And the asado negro arepa... just know you'll be in happy la la land after eating it 🤗👍🏽👍🏽 Two thumbs up for Bienmesabe!!!
I visited in search of familiar flavors and was delighted by my choice. The food, promptly prepared, was delicious, offering excellent value for the portion sizes. A highlight was their exceptional avocado sauce, which perfectly accentuated the South American tastes. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, the diverse menu options have piqued my curiosity for future visits. This place is definitely on my list for a fantastic Sunday outing!
Great Venezuelan food specially the Arepas, I recommend the Pelua, Sifrina, and After party the empanadas are always a great choice too, if you want a traditional dish try the Pabellón, to drink you can also get Chicha, Papelon or Chocolate milkshake. Tequeños are a must have for entry.
Stopped while walking around the city for lunch here.
The drinks were fantastic, I really enjoyed the tart lemonade, the guava hit the spot on a hot day.
The food itself was super solid as well and wow was it a lot! Very filling. If you order an Arepa come hungry! Both versions we had were stuffed full and loved them.
Very affordable
Cute Venezuelan restaurant! When I went it was fairly empty, so service was fast. I ordered the vegan arepa with tofu, beans and plantains. It was good, but it was too full to try all the flavors together
Delicious authentic Venezuelan food at a reasonable price.
Most of the menu is gluten free and they have many vegetarian options. The outside seating is great; however there is not much protection from the sun.
The restaurant was really clean, as was the bathroom - an individual locking room. The staff were very friendly and the food was very flavorful and unique - it's easy to find something you like here even if you're new to this good genre like I am
This restaurant has a bring your own beer and wine policy. They serve soda and coffee, but no alcohol - they will provide you with a glass for your beer or wine.
Beautiful restaurant, the venezuelan sampler is an amazing way to try different food items! The arepa reina pepiada is fire! And the cachapa and pork is out of this world👌🏼
Literally the best place in the neighborhood to get your Arepas! They are delicious. And the Wednesday nights are my absolute fav! Makes it affordable for everyone. I’ve been multiple times so far. And definitely recommend coming here to get some delicious Arepas. I would eat here every day if I could! The staff is also incredibly kind and helpful!
Tasty and unique food packed with new-to-us flavors. We dined in with great service by two personable young servers. This was a third visit by our newly married children - couple and I’m sure we will also be back soon!
Kudos to the chefs and cooks. Wow. The food was incredible - EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious and quality ingredients, including the sauces. The shrimp tostones everyone is talking about - yea - a must try! Service was pretty slow but incredibly friendly and professional. A little bit of a tight fit but totally worth it for the deliciousness of the food they serve. Will definitely be back.
BienMeSabe always impressed me with their flavors and service. This last trip was no exception with a pet friendly outdoor seating. Shown is the Shrimp Tostones (one of my favorite menu items) and the shredded pork Maduro Patacon. The shredded pork was flavorful but a touch on the dry side. My partners shredded chicken Maduro was moist and flavorful.
I ate a steak arrapas. Steak was seasoned and perfectly done. My Mango Frappe was so yummy. It's a good Venezuelan option.👍👍
Amazing food and customer service! I ordered a dish to go and ended up eating some there lol.
If you want to eat authentic Venezuelan food, this is the place to go. Everything is so fresh and has traditional taste. I recommend you to try their Tequeños and Chicha. But if it’s just first time trying Venezuelan food, you have to order arepas.
The tostones con camarones were amazing as well as the crab salad on arepitas. The churrasco arepa was very tasty as well and very filling. The batido de parcha was so good. Everything was delicious.
This was my first experience with Venezuelan food and it was fantastic. The service/staff were all very friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were all simply amazing, very flavorful without having to be spicy at all. I am sure we will be back many times.
So, my friends and I came into Ravenswood but the restaurant we initially had plans to go to, had an event and we couldn't go. BienMeSabe was the next place with amazing reviews, so this was a pleasant mistake! The food was great! Large portions, and so satisfying. I got the cachapa with pork, and man was it so good. We also got the bienmesabe sampler and couldn't even finish it. The tostones with beef was so yummy. The arepas are HUGE and the asado negro could've fed all 4 of us! We took home so many leftovers that we had a full on dinner with the food that was leftover! I'll definitely be coming back again to try more of the food.
