It was exactly what I craved. I ordered and couldn't wait to get home and share with my family. Took attached pictures at restaurant as fearing not having the mind set to remember to do it at home. Jeje I ordered a little of three categories. I bought empanadas, patecone and a sampler of patecone. They were all so delicious. We vow to sit and eat there soon. Highly recommend to stop by for made to order food with the freshest ingredients.

I'm no Venezuelan arepa connoisseur -- let's make that clear before anyone comes for me -- but I've…read morehad my fair share in different cities, and this place... does the job. It may not be the best I've ever had, but when that arepa craving hits, this place steps up like a reliable friend who may not have it all together but still shows up with snacks. The fillings are tasty, the textures hit close enough to the mark, and honestly, it scratches that very specific itch only a warm, messy, cheesy arepa can. It's the kind of meal that makes you say, "Yeah, I could've had better... but I'm still very happy right now." So no, it won't change your life -- but it'll absolutely save your day.

I came here with a co-worker late at night and this place was still busy! After having one dish I…read morecan see why. The family operated restaurant has some great authentic dishes and the flavors are spot on. The staff is super friendly and they speak Spanish. I had the Shredded beef rice bowl with beans and sweat plantains. They asked me if I wanted cheese on my dish, but because I'm Puerto Rican and you never put cheese on Rice and Beans I said no thanks. But I will say that as a Latino this place took me home in a bowl. The beans were just like my wife makes, accept it's a different bean. The shredded beef had some much of that hispanic flavor I love so much. The beef was super tender and the plantains were fried to perfection. Now I know this is an Arepa bar and I should have had an Arepa but I am not a fan of Arepa's. It's a texture thing for me, but I love the items that go inside of them. As for my co-worker, He had two Arepas and a sugarcane lemonade drink and a cheese stick. He loved every bite! So Arepas are a must buy here along with a rice bowl like I had. Side note: you got to try their sauces! Their hot sauce is called Picante and is made with Habanero peppers. Look out for that one it's super hot! The garlic Sauce and the cilantro sauce taste great but the colors will confuse you. I bet when you see the sauces you'll guess the wrong color with the flavor. So to end this long review, I say yes you should stop by the place and have a meal. It's small and there is only one table so you might want to get your order to go.

I ordered the pabellón empanada, who was very tasty, the meat was delicious and the masa was very good. I also ordered tequenos but I wish they were not in a plastic container since they are fried. The side sauce was ok but edible.

The reviews for this place were all over the place so I was hesitant to go now that they are more…read moreof a Venezuelan restaurant. I was honestly really shocked to walk inside and have it look more like a hole in the wall bar than a restaurant, plus the giant tv screen with security were pretty off-putting. We decided to not be so judgey on the dark decor and instead test out some plates from their extensive menu. Hubby ordered a shrimp arepa and a chicken arepa. He preferred the shrimp arepa, I liked the chicken better. I ordered a Patacon con todo (a large plantain fried and filled like a sandwich with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and pink sauce). The sandwich was good, but had way too much sauce. My son had the steak with rice and beans, and the steak was awful. It was chewy, overcooked and full of fat. The beans were also not that great. Overall, I didn't feel like the customer service was great here (our server was fine, but nothing to really note), the place is super dark and gloomy (the music was not even good), combined with the giant security cameras...it's a miss for me. If you are single and looking for a place to grab a drink and some real food, I think this would be the place for you.

I also think that the decor is gorgeous and the music is always amazing! The reality is that they don't go above and beyond and honestly no one's mad. Sometimes they forget a sauce that I know I got from a previous order or they give me guac that's too brown for my liking to eat. BUT I enjoy the food so much that none of those things are factors! Things are always fried to perfection, flavors are always hitting and I always love waking through those doors!
