"Rapidito Colombian Gourmet Street Food will close to the general public on October 28 and ownership has put some equipment up for sale, according to announcements on its website and Facebook. It will remain open for catering orders, however. The casual restaurant opened in January 2014 at 1855 W. Diversey Parkway to offer an array of Colombian-style hot dogs, empanadas, “arepizzas,” skewers, and sides." - Daniel Gerzina

The Rapidito dog was fantastic. I don't even like pineapple or ketchup but wanted to try the traditional dog so got everything. Somehow they all worked together, it was excellent. The arepizza was delicious and the bean soup, phenomenal. I can't wait to bring the whole family back here.

We live a few blocks away but never went to Rapidito until tonight. I'm sorry we didn't go sooner! Everything was absolutely delicious! We have a difficult to feed family with one picky child and a vegetarian child. The corn flat breads were fabulous. The empanadas, both chicken and veg, were outstanding (and our vegetarian loved the veg one). I loved the salchipoppas and the steak skewers. We all loved the smoothies (especially mango!). I finished off my meal with a con panna, a scrumptious espresso shot with whipped condensed milk. The service was extremely fast and friendly. Needless to say, I highly recommend Rapidito!

I came here for a quick coffee. I agree that the waitress was super nice and she tried to make my coffee taste better but it really didn't. I got the cafe leche and it really wasn't all that sweet or leche tasting sadly. They were also out of the obleas when I came. Since all the reviews are for the dogs I might come back and try that.

Never got the chance to taste their food since the "lazy" young lady with glasses (she will recognize herself) completely ignored us today (June 23) We were the only customers there, waited a couple of minutes, but the lady was still sitting on her chair behind the counter looking at her cell phone and pretended not to see us. We tried to catch her attention, but I'm sure she was too busy checking her FB page. : ) To the owner(s): you'd better find someone else before your employee ruins your business. All the best! Will never come back...

My Colombian g/f and I went there. It was just ok. Nothing spectacular. We had the arepas with cheese, chorizo, 2 beef skewers and two fruit drinks. It was pricey for what we order. Nothing really stood out. The flavors were just ok. We ended up going to another Colombian place up north to fill our bellies because the food we ordered here barely made a dent.

I had dinner here and I could remember the flavors of my Colombian land. It was an excellent gourmet food accompanied by a magnificent and warm customer service, I recommend this restaurant as the best in Colombian food, preserving the traditions of our country, I have tried a number of establishments in these 15 years I've been as limodriver and I have found that this is the best. Contrary to what DIANA HENDREN says who is only telling lies so she doesn't have to pay or so that she is refunded. Be careful with those types of customers. I doubt that person knows about Colombian food or the difference between arequipe and caramel. Was the food so bad that she didn't eat it?

The food is good, but they are very unorganized. This could be a great place if they see it as a business and not like someone just cooking at home. They have odd hours and they are very very very slow. They were even at a switching station in the building were I work. The line seriously did not move for 12 minutes. All that aside the food is tasty and this is why I do return :)
