Awesome little Venezuelan hole-in-the-wall! Super friendly service and great food. Roasted pork patacones and ground beef pastelitos are excellent, but we haven't really had anything we didn't like. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. Service with a smile and definitely eat in so you can partake in all the salsas.

We eat here at least once a month. Being foodies, we love flavor and this place has lots of flavors. The owner is always there with a smile and good foods for his customers. The wait staff is the consistent crew so that speaks volumes. While the ambiance is not fancy or large, it is clean, cosy, and family friendly. If you love flavors, give Dona Maria a try. read more

Came in with my husband who raves about this place. It was located in the back of a strip mall and you would never see it from the street. The owner welcomed us in and explained all the food he had available. I got shredded beef with white rice, beans and sweet plantains. I also ordered an arepa filled with cheese. The food was authentic and delicious, my belly was so full but I kept eating because it was so delicious! Will definitely be back. Delicious read more

I'm humbled. I've been spending the last two years complaining there's nothing to eat here in Humble. I was so wrong. It was amazing. It's feels like winning a scratch off ticket when you find a good small hard to find restaurant. Apparently they don't take phone orders, must have been scammed a few times. read more

As good as the other reviews have said. We were in the Humble area yesterday, and this restaurant came up as a suggestion. I like other South American food, so we said "Let's go." I had the shredded beef with rice and black beans, which came with a fried arepa and plantains. Everything was so good! I also had a bite of my mate's Cuban sandwich, which I think I will have next time. The owners are friendly and welcome, even to gringos who aren't sure what they want to eat. Try this place out immediately, and put it on your list of repeat shops. read more

We the Reina pepiada arepa, a plate with fried rice, pork, beans and plantains, food was delicious. Good and friendly service, small, clean and nice place to eat. We definitely come back and try something different. read more

This place is a local gem!! If you want authentic Venezuela food you have to come eat here, feels like you are eating at home. The owners are so friendly. The arepas are so tasty and delicious.

Best place in Houston for Venezuelan food. The service is amazing. The food is delicious. Everything I've eaten is so good and fresh. I will recommend the Toston, pepito, cachazas and all the arepas are good. If you go on Saturdays they have specials such as cachitos (Venezuelan kolaches). I love this place and recommend 100% . This place never disappoints. I love the food and the service I get from the owner Richard Palma. I had breakfast with my mom and son. I ordered cachapa (corn patty) with cheese and ham and beef pastelito. My son had tequenos. He loves tequenos. My mom had beef pastelito and arepa with pork and cheese. Everything was delicious!!! read more

They have a great variety of Venezuelan and Mexican food. The arepas were the best I've ever had. They also have four sauces they bring to the table. read more

I loved this place! I stopped here when I flew in to Houston and I enjoyed it so much that I ate here on my way out too. Between the two visits I had an arepa, cachapa, empanada, and chicha. I have not had chicha in years. It was so good and brought back so many memories of being in Venezuela. They also have Malta polar! A saltier cheese would have been preferred in the empanada but other than that it was so good! If you are looking for authentic Venezuelan food, this is the place to go in Houston! read more

my first time visiting this site. They ordered 2 arepas, shredded meat and pavilion. The taste is good, but I can't. The very small stalls had almost no meat as you could see in the photo. It should be nicer with the filling. It is not a Venezuelan custom for an arepa to come with so little filling. I hope they manage to improve. read more

Fresh, savory food We ordered the Pabellón with stewed beef, rice, black beans, fried sweet plantains and arepas (fried bread). This small cafeteria offers quality, freshness and great service. read more

Great Home cooked Venezuelan food. Pollo asado falls off the bone. Their cachapas with cheese accompanied by fried pork chunks are great! Their hallacas truly have a great flavor! Try it all! They really look after their customers and are always willing to explain menu items to guests that may not know about certain dishes. It has a cafeteria vibe always with people stopping in on their work lunch break or in the mornings to get some pasteles or empanadas. read more

Food is always great and tasty. Love their lunch plates, tequeños, Venezuelan burgers, everything is excellent! 100% recommend.

When it comes to finding those nice small hole in the wall places with great quality, this place is it. Super authentic food, always busy so you know that's a good thing. The owner is the cook and he is great at what he does, I like going back for more, and will do so. read more

I've tried this place a handful of times, this place is wonderful!! The food is amazing to say the least. This place always has good music as well. Highly recommend! read more

Very small business sign so hard to find at first but worth the hunt. The owners are wonderful and guided us to a delicious lunch. Definitely recommend the fresh pineapple juice as well. Very clean and great music. read more

Small place that serves all of the Venezuelan specialties including arepas, cachapas, tequenos, pepitos, patacones, etc. There is a line you order from which can be long and you can either get your food to go, or sit at one of the 7 tables. Either way, you will incur a 5-10 minute wait, at the minimum. If you happen to order something at the steam table, you can usually get in and out quickly. Breakfast is from 8-11am, and entrees range from $7-9. Lunch specials are from 11-230. They even have a kids menu. Paella only on fridays. If you're not in the mood for Venezuelan food, they also serve mexican foods such as tacos, quesadillas, tortas and burritos. I ordered a cachapa with shredded beef and Venezuelan cheese and a sugar cane drink. It was very delicious, and tasted even better with their green and red hot sauces poured all over it. The green seemed spicier, while the red was more sour. read more

My goodness this place is out of this world! I had to get my car fixed at Fred's, so I decided to get me something to eat. I wish they were not 20 miles away or I'll be there several times a week. Their empanadas with the garlic sauce is to die for! Will most certainly be back! read more

This place is hidden gem, food is incredible Definitely a nice change from the run of the mill Tex/Mex that's so prevalent. The arepa's are excellent, fresh as can be, absolutely stuffed with fillings pabellon was absolutely amazing. But I can't stop raving about the pepito, it was so freaking good tons of meat, shoestring fries, cabbage, with their garlic and red salsa it was nothing short of a sandwich epiphany. This place rocks, it's moderately priced, service was good too. Take some time to experience Venezuelan cooking, you won't regret it. 5 well earned stars, highly recommended. read more

A hidden jewel !!!! From the food to environment.. This place is so amazing it took me to Venezuela. My dish was a patacon ,DELiCiOUS, very savory it doesn't need sauce. The sampler platter is highly recommended if you are new to Venezuelan food. There is a variety of sauces to choose from. The avocado one is my favorite. Owner is well involved with the business and customer service. Will be coming back to try new things on the menu. read more

Very clean, great customer service, and the food was excellent. I tried the empanada, the postelina (I misspelled it, but you'll know) and the tostenoes very good! read more

Described to me as the "gem of Humble", I readily went to check it out. Definitely did not disappoint There's a steam table upfront where you order. You have the option to select your meal from the menu on the wall to your left/menu items featured on signs hanging from the ceiling, or just look at the options on the steam table. The staff was extremely helpful in walking you through what exactly everything is and how it's prepared. Food I had the roast pork plate. Seasoned perfectly accompanied by rice and platano frito. (Fried banana) The sauces they bring out with the meal are ALL tasty as heck. Try them all, you'll love the flavors. Nothing too crazy here....actually simple....but executed beautifully. I'm planning my next visit as I write this review because I didn't get any arepas this time . read more

Had no idea this place was here. Came across it on DoorDash early this week. It's so yummy I had their food 3 times this week for lunch and dragged my big group of coworkers over today. They loved it too. Our Venezuelan coworker certified it's authentic and very good. I personally love the shredded meats (chicken and beef). Beef stew is like grandma made it. Black beans are super yummy, as are the plantains and arepas. Not to mention the Friday special Paella. Everything I've had so far is super tasty, seasoned just right. I'm gonna try a lot more here in the future. This place is definitely in our regular Friday lunch rotation now. People are super nice and I'm looking forward giving them more business. Keep up the great food and service! read more

Service: outstanding Atmosphere: authentic Price: righteous Garlic sauce: delectable Pork: succulent Patacon - fried plantain sandwich: slightly disappointing... :( I was really looking forward to my patacon because I didn't realize there was a venezuelan restaurant near my work. read more

Small family business where the owners are attentive and ready to do business. The first thing you see is a the glass enclosed serving line of a good variety or hot piping goodness. I've not had much food from Venezuela, but it tasted great and plenty of food served. read more

What a hidden little gem. We went based on the reviews. I love hole in the wall places and this was an awesome find! We did a sampler platter and several dishes. Cuban sandwich, tostones, plantains, then had tostadas, cinnamon rolls, yucca, plantains, cheese rolls and black beans. Such a wide variety and such an amazing staff. Everyone was thoughtful and kind. They made our first visit welcoming by answering every question patiently and joyfully. I really enjoyed our time there. We will be back. read more

This is a go to place when I visit my family. The owners are so sweet. The food is authentic. If you want small mom and pop and authentic vibe, go here. Eat cheese pastalitos, pabellon, or the breakfast#3. I've never had a dish that wasn't great. The ropa vieja or shredded beef so flavorful. Sorry no pics this time. Go you won't be disappointed. read more
