We ordered takeout today, and the buñuelos were undercooked inside..doughy, crumbly, and not fully cooked through. They're definitely not supposed to be like that. What made it more disappointing is that they're about $6 each. At that price, I expect much better quality. We also ordered a bandeja paisa. The carne asada was tough and lacked flavor, and the beans honestly tasted canned and bland. Again, I could overlook some of this if the food were reasonably priced, but this plate is over $30. On a positive note, the patacón con todo was good, chorizo had flavor and the jugo de lulo en agua was good and refreshing. Overall, the experience was just okay. It's disappointing to see a place I used to enjoy lose some of its quality over the years. Unfortunately, for the price, I'll probably go elsewhere for Colombian food in the future

I've been to Venezuelan Chamo in Pasadena twice now, but didn't get to do the review from my first…read morevisit. I arrived here for lunch today. They weren't super busy. Lucky me to be the first in line. What a beautiful restaurant with all the bright colorful decor! Cool atmosphere plus good lighting with several tables/chairs plus limited bar stool seating. There appears to be a hammock, too. Not sure if it can be used or it's just decor. One all gender restroom is discreetly in the back of the restaurant. Really great place!! The gentleman from the kitchen came out to greet me and asked what I would like. The lady behind the counter took over to take the remaining of my order. They both recommended the Reyna Arepa that is filled with shredded chicken, avocado, mayonnaise, and lime juice. An arepa is a griddlecake made of ground maize dough. It looks like a pocket to me. Anyway, that's what I got. OMG, it was so delicious! Tons of shredded chicken at every bite. Very well balanced between chicken, avocado, and mayo. Arepa was crispy and delightfully. SO GOOD! Highly recommend it. I also got the passion fruit juice that was delightfully refreshing... not too sweet... just perfect! Super nice and friendly staff. Amazing service. Tasty foods in great portions. Welcoming and warm ambiance. I'll definitely return to get more Renya Arepa and try other food items. If you're craving Venezuelan foods or trying it for the first time, this place is for you!

I am guessing it's tough to have the food ready quickly when it's slow and they are unsure how many…read morecustomers they will have in a day. This was lunch time on a week day, so i'll attribute it to that. I am used the empanada spot down the street from us that has a long line, and they crank out the food. It was a full 18 mins from order to food ready, and it was a small order with only two other customers already seated. That felt like longer than ideal, and took my focus off the food and on to how long it was taking. The benefit of the longer time was that everything was freshly fried. So I can't have it both ways! With 5 stars average I expected it to be amazing, but was just ok for me. Glad others feel it's a 5 as the folks running it seem to be dedicated.

HOW THEY FIX MISTAKES AND MADE THINGS RIGHT…read more I eat here from time to time and the food is excellent as well as the customer service which is second to none. I ordered the garlic chicken to go. However, when I got to work I realized they accidently have me two boxes of rice and and beans. I gave them a call, told them about it, and it was no big deal. I totally understand the lunch rush and all the boxes look the same. We're all human. This isn't the zombie apocalypse. I'll survive . That being said it was it was really how well they handled the situation. I returned there after work and we had a good laugh about it. Not only did they gave me the full correct order but also realized I like that lemony flavor of Cuba, but they also have a me a really nice dinner to go for me evening. And yes the lemony pork was absolutely delicious. There was no hesitation, no dispute, just all smiles acne appreciation from both of us. So to sum it up it really wasn't the mistake. It was HOW THEY MAKE YOU FEEL and how they take care of you as a customer. a now loyal custom for years to come.

Let me tell you - the service is great. We were celebrating a birthday and while we were singing happy birthday they played a happy birthday song on the speaker which was such a nice touch. The food is so delicious! We all ended up getting pupusas and I'm always left wanting more so definitely get some to go! I will say it takes a while to get the food so order as soon as you get there but I take that as a positive because you know your food is fresh. I love the accompaniments like the curtido (fermented cabbage) and the salsa roja - most of the time when I eat pupusas the curtido isn't good but we had 3 jars of it at our table and we pretty much demolished it all. The only negative was that it was pretty hot in there. They do have fans going but I feel like it really didn't do much. Either way - this is the main meet up spot for them so I'm sure I'll definitely be back.

To me, shredded chicken has a tendency to have a rubbery texture and I'm happy to report that isn't the case with the Red Queen! Full of flavor and extra delicious paired with the Arepa Stand's hot sauce. It's difficult to choose a favorite between the two arepas I ordered, but I'm leaning my preference towards The 405 simply because I believe every dish with platanos and black beans is perfect. Obviously this was delicious and I can't wait to have it again! I will note that this is a very messy meal! Be prepared for a lot of spillage, but just know it's worth it. The Arepa Stand pops up at a few locations - enjoyed mine at The Hollywood Farmer's Market (every Sunday).
