I was exited about a Venezuelan place in the area, the reviews at this point were not good but I still decided to give it a try. I lived in Venezuela so I know about the food there. On the positive side, the Tequeños and the Empanada were very good. They also prepared my food really quick. Not so positive: I also ordered a Cachapa, which is a typical Venezuelan dish... well, I couldn't eat. Despite the "not appetizing" look of the dish (see picture) I took a few bites. The flavor of both, the Cachapa and the cheese was not right. Cachapas and Arepas need to be prepared in the moment, this one seems to be heated in a microwave. I don't have plans to eat here again. read more

Coromoto Restaurant - Cachapa - Venezuelan Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

I tried my first cachapa from Coromoto Restaurant and I was not disappointed. Cachapas are Venezuelan sweet corn cakes, typically stuffed with cheese and meat. I got mine with shredded chicken. The cheese was delicious and gooey but it was a little too rich at times with the sweetness of the corn cake. I would've preferred slightly more understated sweetness. My husband ordered a pepito which is a traditional Venezuelan sandwich with meat cheese and fried potato shreds. It came with fries which were very greasy but very crispy (looks like they coat them in some kind of starch). Overall, it was a heavy meal but very tasty. read more

Coromoto ha bajado muchísimo su calidad y por el contrario sus precios han subido. Ordené un Salteado de Carne, en vez de papa fritas me dieron arroz (cuando se supone que viene con papas y claramente no es el mismo precio) La carne la emplataron con tanto líquido que se estaba haciendo uno de desastre dentro de la bolsa Pedí un side de chimichurri me dieron salsa de ajo read more

It was a great experience! I loved the food and the drinks. My wife and I came here to watch the COPA CUP and was met with Evelyn, the bartender, who was super nice, and her drinks were excellent! Food tasted great, and we were happy. EVELYN, thank you for everything, and we appreciate your hospitality. read more

Coromoto... what in the world are you thinking?!?! I excited to try a neighborhood local spot and it was a complete waste. Restaurants fail on daily basis over dumb mistakes and your place is def on its way. It takes two minutes for staff to introduce themselves and explain Venezuelan cuisine to those that have never tried and lastly a smile goes a long way... by the way The food was GROSS Now let's talk about to-go containers? At coromoto they literally give you a doggie bag. No respect for their customers food. Per picture they really just threw my leftover in a bag ... gross. Yo they really just threw my food in a bag .. smh read more

Food, service, and ambiance, were a 10/10 for me. I love how I was able to live through Venezuelan culture and feel transported throughout the experience. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly and the chef even came out to ask how we liked our meals. Recently renovated and looks stunning. Very fresh and a very clean and modern look. Definitely recommend ! read more

Had a great time here foods great drinks wonderful customer service will be coming again

El staff es súper amable, la comida es rica, y el ambiente super bueno. La verdad es lo mejor que he conseguido en mucho tiempo. Sigan así

DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE! I was scammed by this guys selling low quality food, dealing with a waitress that had no clue what her job was. The food didn't come out the way it was ordered, cold and not tasty at all. Bad smell, etc. On top of that THEY GET UPSET AND RUDE IF YOU COMPLAIN, and still want to charge you for what you didn't like. They should realize their food and service is just crap. If you want Venezuelan food, DON'T GO THERE. Horrible experience. Waste of money. Sick stomach afterwards. read more

The food it's good but the service is terrible! As a business owner the most important thing will be always the customer! They made me a bad coffee and the lady never apologized, she did not offer make another coffee, I just left the coffee there! Im never coming back again! Ovoid this place if you don't want a bad time! Thank me later! read more

For a new place your really not starting right. First off please advertise a phone number so you can be contacted. Also please check your orders before sending them out. You failed to put the pork chops in the meal all I got was potatoes. Also if you say something comes with something make sure it's there. One of the meals came with garlic bread and no garlic bread was delivered. It's Valentine's Day and I wanted to order in for my family and this was disappointing. Also make sure to read notes . Hopefully you guys can get your act together. read more

IF YOU WANT REALLY GOOD VENEZUELAN FOOD DON'T GO HERE. GO TO LA GRAN SABANA IN WEST NEW YORK, their service is great and their food is awesome. This place is not good, a whole JOKE, their prices in the menus are not aligned with what they have in the system so they end up charging way more than your expecting, plus they charge 20% tip right away without even saying anything so you end up tipping twice at the end and they're not willing to back up the transaction or at least give you the money back. Also, their servers are awful they don't even have good customer service skills, they're very entitle and they're not willing to help the customer. read more

I've been eating here for a while already. I always order food through Uber Eats or Grubhub and im so upset. Every time I order they forget my drinks, they are use to it already. 4 out of 5 times, FOOD WITHOUT DRINKS. They should work on that, is not that hard. Awful! read more

Venezuelan? I didn't know what I was walking into when I made my decision to open that door and to say the least, it was one of my best decisions. The dinning room checks your vibe, the food fills your apatite, and the spices serve to please your pallet. I Ordered an open face steak sandwich and and arepa with fries and GREAT margarita. read more

In my opinion This restaurant is the worst in customer service After waiting for 30 mins for the food we decided to ask how much longer the food would take and the waitress came back and said there was some sort of "error" and to wait an extra couple mins. When the food came out it was a cold cachapa of pernil with cold cheese. The original waitress who took our orders came back from I assume her lunch break unapologetic and even laughed with the training waitress. read more

So we were hesitant on coming here because of the reviews but we live so close we said we have to at least once. So we opted to keep it light. We got the plátanos with pulled pork and chicken empanada. Very yummy. Beer was super cold. Obviously I can't speak to the whole menu, but this place reminded me of an awesome late night delicious food truck type of craving stop. It would be great if they were open that late. read more

We had cancelled our order because of the terrible customer service. The staff took forever to take our order, then was annoyed by our questions about the menu, how arrogant. Previous reviews were right. Be careful when ordering here. read more

I've eaten here a few times since I moved to the neighborhood two months ago. The arepas are great and some of the other dishes we tried are good. The issue I have is that they placed a "service fee" on my bill because the total was over $50. I've never heard of that as a reason for including gratuity, and as a matter of fact we ate there last month and spent over $50 and didn't have that charge. No where on the menu did it mention that type of charge. They do mention 3.5% for credit card transactions on the front door (which is kind of shady in its own right, because it means they're making money on every card transaction), but there's no mention anywhere of any other included fees. I was in a hurry to get out so I didn't look at the bill and quickly added a tip when I signed. Despite having had a mixup with our order (we were brought the wrong food), dear reader, I still gave a 20% tip. It was only when I got home that I questioned the total cost. $101.95 did seem steep for 4 arepas and a sangria pitcher. When I looked at the online menu, and I did some quick math, I realized that even if they had charged me for the food they mistakenly brought out, the total should have been lower. That is when I called and found out about this random service fee, which apparently doesn't even go to the servers. I very politely asked to have the additional tip returned to me, and we could call it even. I was told a supervisor would call me back, but I didn't receive the call. They also said that they couldn't undo the charge because they already ran my card, but typically restaurants process tips at the end of the week, so that didn't make sense either (sure enough the charge went from $84 a few nights ago to $101 today). So, unfortunately I have to agree with the other reviewers here. The food is good, the customer service is questionable. I hope those extra $40 make up for a customer who was spending on average $100 a month in the short time he has lived in the area. I was really hoping they'd give me at least a discount next time I came in, but now there won't be a next time. read more
