A random showing on my Instagram algorithm tipped me to this place and I have been curious about…read moreVenezuelan and Colombian cuisine so I made the trip to this location. Off the bat, the exterior seems kinda plain but the inside the area is themed just like how it would be coming into a brick and mortar South American restaurant. Latin music, treats and snacks from their country. Service was swift, steady and courteous as it took no longer than 5 minutes for my food to reach my table. My lunch for the day was the Grilled Chicken Pabellon Lunch Special, Chicken Empanada, Tequequava and Tamarind juice. When the pabellon got to my table I thought it was a little on the small side but it was surprisingly filling. The Grilled chicken, a bit on the salty side still had taste to it and it was a good mix to go with the rice and beans. I loved the texture of the Empanada I had and the Tequequava (Cheeze & Guava stick) was actually superb. Never thought Mozzarella cheese could mix well with Guava fruit, but it was a solid blend. The Tamarind juice was sweet and savory. That was quite a meal I've ordered yet came just under $30 so everything was reasonably priced. The place is on a seemingly sketchy area of Cypress Hills but it's worth a second visit because the food is good and the menu has a bevy of choices there.

Just watching them assemble this layer by layer with generous portions of each ingredient, sandwiched in between two deep fried large plantains, was enough of an experience to make me want to get it.

We ordered the bistec( sirloin steak that came with rice and beans, salad and sautéed onions), salmon came with roasted potatoes and salad and the pork chop. All delicious.

Thankfully, my visit to El Budare Café was a delight. The wait was a bit long, but given the occasion--and the Venezuelan parade taking place outside--I'll give them a pass. The $11 beef arepa tasted like it was made from scratch, and every bite showed it. Toasty, savory, juicy, crunchy, and generously sized, it definitely hit the spot. The place certainly is built to enjoy with a huge group. It is not loud and packed with dancers, but I am sure there are dancing on other occasions.

Both were so flavorful, especially the chicken, and the plantains and cheese on the veg were the perfect combo. The empanadas were so fluffy and the cazón I got worked really well inside, the spices they added to the fish married it well with the dough. And the sauces!! Total must, particularly the creamy green sauce, but also the others ruled. And the prices were reasonable, I was very full after a $6 empanada and $13.50 arepa, for a lighter meal could probably just have the latter. Awesome spot in Bushwick for sit-down arepas.
