This place had the best Venezuelan food to offer while I stayed in Argentina for 3 months. My…read moregirlfriend and I first tried this place because it was down the street from where we lived. The owner was very helpful with the menu. Our spanish wasn't good so he guided us through the selection of food. They definitely have a lot of patience there, that's for sure. We ended up going with the arepas. My girlfriend fell in love after the first bite! We had tried arepas once, but it was a colombian/korean fusion style that was good, but just didn't compare to the one at la cabonera. The owner had mentioned that on saturday afternoon was empanada day. I have a great love for empanadas, so we were there! I am so happy that we found out about empanada day. It is something very special. I don't know if a lot of people know it but, each and every empanada is made to order. That is as fresh as it can get!! The wife owner sits in the back the whole time flattening the masa, filling it up, and folding it, all by hand! There's a lot of love put into these empanadas. The moment you bite into it, angels come down from the heavens and sing to you. It's totally different from an argentine empanada because it's corn instead of the flour and i love that. It is the crunchiest empanada i've ever bitten into. I love the mechada, which is the shredded beef. The meat stays super tender and juicy inside it's masa house. Pair it with their papelon and that's it! Amazing

The staff is so kind and hard working and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. I have some dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy and egg) and they were very thorough to make sure I wasn't going to have any issues. I had the pabellion criollo and my hubby had an arepa. Both were so delicious! We even ordered one more to go so we could have it for breakfast tomorrow since we have a super early morning. Be sure to stop in and check this place out if you haven't yet, you won't regret it!

Nothing else but it is possible to add some salsa ln the side. The meat is not bad but the arepa is extremely boring and doesn't look appetizing. Not going back, there are many better places for arepas in the area, miss venezuela around the corner or even epa la arepa up the street.

Happy there are more Venezuelan restaurants popping up around Buenos Aires. I've been here a few…read moretimes and grateful that there was a place near me in Palermo I could get arepas at. I feel like I liked it more the past trip than I did this last time. The La Negra arepa was kinda bland. They have a lot of decent hot sauces there which are greatly appreciated as hot food is hard to find in Argentina, but I really have to rely on the sauces for most of the flavor, so I can't really rate this too highly. The arepas are kinda dry and not that flavorful, and maybe I'm spoiled from my girlfriend's cooking, but it could be better. I'm grateful that Palermo is offering more non-traditional Argentinian food to give some variety of dining options, and with all the salsas they have here you can make yourself a good meal in any case. Still looking for my favorite Venezuelan restaurant in town though...
