Finally got to try this place and it was delicious! We ordered the taquenos and patacon and both were delicious. We loved the sauce the taquenos came with.
This place was perfect! The food was wonderful! Hot and fresh. We got the sampler platter so we tried several different things and they were all delicious. The staff was super nice and helpful. Authentic. One of our favorites at the Krate.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The patacon with shredded beef was to die for. So highly recommended. We are definitely coming back here
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.
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.
Out of all the eateries at the Krates this is by far my favorite. The staff is always friendly and these are some of the best arepas I have ever had. Get the sampler platter to try a bit of everything.
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.

So about the 3rd or so time we came to Krate my mother got Chamo and omg was amazing! She got just cheese though beacuase she's vegetarian. So me and my sister ordered the sampler. Expecting to get that goodness again right? WRONG!! We got the arepas with meat and cheese... NO CHEESE. No wait wait, upon closer inspection with a MAGNIFYING GLASS like literally a drop. Now maybe that's logical for such a small sandwich and maybe we should've gotten more cheese to taste BUT I for one wanted the experience I had that day. I am SO disappointed it RUINED my whole appetite. Since that day I had been waiting to have it again and was finally going to have it only to be SEVERELY disappointed. Apparently unless you select ALL CHEESE you are hardly going to get ANY cheese. Oh AND on top of THAT it all took FOREVER to get here! DO BETTER CHAMO!! 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

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
