This place is a MUST TRY especially if you have a cultured palate. We’ve never had Venezuelan food before. We were greeted at the door and was asked if we wanted the menu explained, which we did seeing as it was our first time and the menu was mostly all in Spanish. The man who greeted us was so helpful! He even helped ordering for us. The FOOD WAS SO FLAVORFUL! I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I just know food was put together and made flavors I haven’t tasted before…and it was SO GOOD definitely coming back again!
This is the BEST VENEZUELAN FOOD I have ever had in my life. The staff is so friendly (they even remembered us when we came the second time), the restaurant is always clean and orderly, and the food is to die for. I have found myself craving cachapas basically every week!! And they are always willing to accommodate our family and find ways to get us seated, even when it’s busy. Highly recommended!!!!
I have never had Venezuelan food before, the cashier was great at explaining everything. Food was great service was amazing, we will definitely be back.
I had an amazing experience at this Venezuelan restaurant! I ordered the patacón and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
We went for lunch and had the most fabulous time! We tried a little bit of everything and our party of four all loved it. Pastelitos, empanadas, arepas, sarchipapas! Their meat was extremely tender and the seasoning was spot on! Not too spicy but full of flavor. The menu is mostly in Spanish, but the staff is very helpful in translating it. We will for sure be going again!
This was my first time visiting and trying Venezuelan food. I’m not exactly sure what I ordered since it was mostly in Spanish. It was two shredded beef sandwiches with fried cheese and shredded cabbage. They tasted good but a little too salty for me. It’s a bit expensive for what you get but surprisingly I was feeling full after eating just one. I’ll have to come back and try something new
Our entire experience here was great The menu was explained to us and she gave some great recommendations. We had the Patacón with Picanha, Empanada with shredded beef and one with potato/cheese, Pastelito with ground beef & one with potato/cheese, and 5 Tequeños- Cheese And Guava Sticks. Everything was very well seasoned. Definitely worth a return visit!
If you ask for an English menu, you'll get a condescending explanation of what everything is. If you ask for potato and cheese pastelitos, you will receive one with about a tablespoon of ingredients inside. The food is however very good. My guy got the burger and was incredibly happy. I'm just disappointed with the item I chose.
