Located at the Krate. Greeted upon entering by the most friendly lady. We were handed menus and everything looked so good that it was such a hard decision. Hubs and I both got the sampler so that we could try a bit of everything. It's a lot of food!! They have some seating inside as well as tables outside. The food is made fresh. Food was good. The chicken was the only thing I think needed some extra flavor. My favorite was the arepa and empanada (beef). read more

We had the tequeños, empanada de pollo y jamon y queso, cachapa, and desayuno criollo. The food was so good we didn't even get a chance to take pictures. We are Venezuelan natives and felt this was authentic and delicious. The service was good and the space is very homey! Would highly recommend :) read more

Just visited Chamo Bites today. They specialize with Venezuelan street food including arepas, cachapas, tostones, empanadas, patacones, & tequenos. I do love this food so it is a nice welcome to the Krates at the Grove. Ordering can be a challenge due to language barrier. One male was there who couldn't speak any English except to go or for here. Soon after a female who spoke English was there who was very nice and helpful. This is not fair if the person doesn't understand our order. I think it be helpful if someone working the front was bilingual. That would really make the customer service much better. Saying hello is a pretty simple cordial detail too. I ordered a patacones which is basically a plantain sandwich with ropa vieja (shredded beef), ham, Cole slaw, cheese, & and tons of sauce. This was good, but the sauce on here was overkill. It was way too much. It basically tasted like a messy Mayo amongst other flavors. I think if I ordered it next time I'd say sauces on the side. Food here takes a very long time. Luckily they have good a/c, but it does get smoky like the ventilation should be better. I have had Venezuelan food a lot of other places. I'm happy for another variety especially in the Krates where there is different types of food. read more

Having lived in Venezuela as a kid and having Venezuelan parents, I've been looking for a place that makes good, true Venezuelan food nearby and guys- that place is finally here. I took my family here on a Sunday Funday adventure to the Krates in Wesley Chapel and couldn't have been happier with our experience. We ordered a Chamo Bites Platter to share and my dad wanted a ham and cheese empanada, and they were delicious and extremely fresh. We also got some Frescolita, chicha and jugo de parchita (Passionfruit juice) and I instantly got transported back to my years living in Venezuela. Top things I would recommend getting if you're trying out Venezuelan good for the first time or just wanting to try something new: Chicha- literally the best thing we had and everyone needs to try it. It was delicious! Tequeños- cooked to perfection! Mini arepas/arepas in general- we got two mini arepas in our Chamo Bites Platter. One was reina pepiada and the other was pabellón, which are traditional Venezuelan arepas. I also got one (not pictured) with cheese, ham and plantains and it was also great. read more

Only ordered a Cacharra with cheese. A corn tortilla like a pancake. It was great. A quick way to order but we had to wait 15 minutes for it. You can just walk around the area and come back. read more

I don't know about authenticity of the food but I loooove chamo bites. Lol. The cachapa and empanadas are soooo good. The cachapa is Made from corn flour and have pieces of corn in it. The plain cheese is my fave. I could eat these every week. They have some seating inside and out. But like all krates it's limited. Unlike other reviews, I had no trouble communicating with the cashier. Not sure if this got better since those reviews. The orders do take some time to come out but their ALWAYS PIPING hot and delicious. read more

I've been here a couple of times. It is a Small space, you could eat in and there is sitting on the sidewalk as well. Spanish music was playing in the background. they do not accept cash. Regardless of what time of the day or how busy are they, food seems to take about 10 minute or more. Food taste authentic and fresh, except for fries which were super oily and deep fried. read more

What a wonderful place! We stopped at KRATE for lunch on a Friday and decided to try this gem! All of the food looked good, and the owner suggested we do the sampler platter. It was a ton of food, so we were happy we split it. But we couldn't decide what we liked best because it was all outstanding! The owner was also super nice, and their inside space was cool and nicely decorated. We'll be back soon for dessert. read more

Ordered the Empanada Trio and no complaints! Super fresh, great portion sizes and the prices can't be beat!! Will definitely come again. The customer service was fantastic. read more

Great place to grab a cachapa, which is a sweet corn pancake filled with deliciously stretchy cheese! Definitely big enough for sharing. Add it to your list of places to stop at Krate and do a whole "tasting crawl." I do wish the space was a little more inviting, but get yours to go and sit in one of the many delightful outdoor seating areas. read more

Taste of food is not worth the wait time for food.I ordered the same exact food as a friend,there's was ready in 10 minutes and it took 30 additional minutes for my food to be ready.When I went to check in on my food the hostess said mine would take longer because the orders were different...it was exactly the same read more

He comido varias veces en Chamo Bites: 1.Lamentablemente los almuerzos NO son buenos, el pabellón criollo es muy malo, la "carne mechada" estaba súper salada y en mi opinión casi descompuesta, sabía y olía malísimo. 2.La comida de desayuno (arepas - empanadas - cachapas - etc) es muy buena y la comida rápida tipo las hamburguesas también. 3.Los jugos naturales son buenos. 4.La atención es buena. Espero que puedan mejorar la calidad de la comida porque hacen algunos platos bien pero después de probar ese almuerzo (pabellón criollo) no se si volvería. I have eaten several times at Chamo Bites: 1.Unfortunately the lunches are NOT good, the 'pabellón criollo" is very bad, the "carne mechada" was super salty and in my opinion almost decomposed, it tasted and smelled terrible. 2. The breakfast food (arepas - empanadas - cachapas - etc) is very good and fast food like hamburgers too. 3.Natural juices are good. 4. The attention is good. I hope they can improve the quality of the food because they do some dishes well but after trying that lunch (Pabellón Criollo) I don't know if I would go back. read more

This salchipapa was very mid. Especially for the price. The food was okay and the service is eh. Only thing going good for it is the ambiance since it is located at the Krates. read more

Great food but kind of pricey. We got the sampler and shared it to try and keep the cost down. The cachapas were to die for. Corn and cheese combos in any form is great. The arepas were good but a little messy and hard to eat. Overall was very pleased and have gone back specifically for cachapas but this is not a place for a budget meal. read more

What a lovely little spot with very friendly staff. It was my first time at The Krates inside The Grove Mall and I wanted a small bite and found this restaurant and I'm glad the food did not disappoint. We got the tequeños and chicken empanadas and they were piping hot. The empanadas were crunchy on the outside but super soft on the inside. The passion fruit juice was very good. The green and the pink sauce were so good that I was drenching everything in it. Definitely recommend and coming back when I'm in town again. read more

Very nice lady at the counter provided great service, and was helpful as it was our first time there. We stopped in later afternoon on a weekday. We got the sampler & it was great. We loved everything including all the sauces. We wanted to order more, but we already had committed to dinner plans. Highly recommend, & we would definitely return. read more

To say that Tampa doesn't have many good Venezuelan places is an understatement so I was praying I'd like this place. I tried the cachapa with cheese and it checked the boxes for me so I'm a happy camper! Hopefully will come back to try more items. Thank you for bringing Venezuelan food here!! read more

This restaurant is a poor representation of a Venezuela and Venezuelan food I order an empana an after 10 minutes waiting they call me and say sir we are sorry we have no empanadas, are you serios a Friday at 1:00pm just starting the weekend? Ok and if you are lucky you can get tequeños which most of the times comes with more oil that is impossible to eat and if you finish will be a stomachache for sure. Sorry but no more. read more

Food is so good here but the service could use some work. The girl attending the cashier wasn't the friendliest, we had to wait for her to look up from her phone to get helped and while we were eating she was cursing out loud. Besides that the food and place are great. La comida es divina pero el servicio puede mejorar. La chica que estaba atendiendo la registradora no era muy agradable y tuvimos que esperar a que terminara de usar su teléfono para tener su atención y mie tras comíamos la podía escuchar diciendo groserías. Aparte de eso el lugar es muy bueno al igual que la comida. read more

This has to be the driest , no flavor Venezuelan food I've even had. Gave it two stars bc at least it was hot.

0/10 very unsatisfied food was not what I was expecting tasted like something you can get in a hospital cafeteria not to mention waited about 30+ minutes for my food to have no flavor, the pork to be hard as a rock and rice to be dry. prices did not match the plate will not be returning!!!!!!!! if I could give them 0 stars I would but yelp doesn't let me read more

The food is absolutely incredible!!!!! I highly recommend everyone try it. You won't regret it. read more

The arepas were so good! The tequeños are spot on so is the rice pudding. Service was quick!

Best Venezuelan food in Wesley chapel, arepas, tequeños and chicha 9/10 I really recommend it!

I had the Patacón. It was delicious! It left me wanting more. Cashier up front was very helpful and informative of the food and everything that went in it. They were busy, but kept trucking on! Outdoor seating was convenient since we took our dog. read more

The food was delicious & I would definitely go back. The cashier was super friendly and prices were reasonable. We ate outside & were thankful to have covered / umbrella seating. read more

Buenísimo!!! Excellent cachapas, verdaderamente Venezolanas! La carne mechada también deliciosa!

Currently me and my family are eating here, and the salchipapas was a complete disaster. So we are leaving and without barely even touching the food. Won't even bother to ask for a refund. read more

Went to Krate for the first time today ... in hopes of having my very first arepas. We found those arepas at Chamo Bites. My husband and I split the Super 4--which are four fried mini arepas with four different fillings. They may be described as "mini", but my husband and I could barely finish them--they are very generously sized. The arepas were pillowy soft on the inside with a delicately fried outside. The fillings were all different, and all absolutely delicious mixtures of meats, and cheeses. We also enjoyed the three sauces that were served with our meal. The menu is very inviting. We are looking forward to a return visit to sample some of the other offerings. read more

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Very pricey for small portions of food, also the cashier wasn't attentive to anything/anyone. Me and my group of friends felt very uncomfortable, aside from the fact that this location took 40 minutes to serve us our food. (We only ordered 3 smaller items) We entered before numerous individuals, who ended up getting their food before we did. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

First time we went , food was great and ordering was a breeze. Second time we went the food was still good but not as good as the first time. The ordering was very hard due to the language barrier. Order was entered wrong, notice me it and had them correct it and it still came out wrong. read more
