    Pepito
    Idrees K.

    First time trying a pepito and it was so filling! The portions are huge, you definitely won't leave hungry at all. The empanadas are also amazing!!!! This restaurant is pretty busy and plays great music! The food takes a little long to arrive but everything seems to be made fresh.

    Tequenos y Queso Frito

    This was our first time and we were pleasantly surprised! We only have pictures of our appetizer's because we were so hungry we dung into our entres but eveything was super yummy and flavorful. Jenifer & Chris were amazing and their service was above and beyond making sure my husband and I were taken care of when they had a pretty full house. My closests friends are Venezuelan and this hit close to home!! Arepa de Caracas was big and full of flavor and I had the miss Venezuela (3 mini arepas) YUMMY great if you want to try a little bit of everything!

    This is a great Venezuelan Restaurant in the area. There is limited seating but there are tables big enough for larger families and they do offer take out as well. If you choose to dine in make sure you have the time though. The service was the biggest downfall of our experience. By the time we got our 3 appetizers and 1 entree we were there for 2 hours. While their food is made to order and is hot and fresh it took a long time in between items to get all the food. And while we wanted to order and try more items we couldn't stay any longer. But the food was absolutely phenomenal and delicious and we loved everything we tried. I would go back to try more but I would definitely do take out next time.

    New Venezuelan restaurant! WOW! Que rico! My cousin who was born in Venezuela showed me this place and now I'm hooked. It's in the same shopping plaza as Alex's Fresh Kitchen & Aladdin Cafe next to Wawa by Red Bug. They've been open since November '23 and have two other locations on the other side of town. The restaurant is decorated very modern and cool. You can either order at the counter to go, or be seated and have a server come take care of you. The food is made fresh to order, so if you're in a hurry I would call in the food ahead of time. We've had the parilla every time! Twice my job ordered the largest size to share and one time my husband and I shared the smallest one. They say the smallest is for one person, but we had plenty to share and leftovers to take home. The parilla comes with chicken, steak, sausage and a side. The meat is delicious and comes with a side of guasacaca! Guasacaca is a traditional Venezuelan avocado and pepper sauce that goes great on the meats. My husband doesn't even like avocados and he was into the guasacaca! They also have garlic sauce, cilantro garlic sauce, salsa rosada (pink sauce), and nata (Venezuelan butter/cream), and a chunky salsa upon request. All the sauces! For sides, we loved the mini arepas dipped in nata and the fried yuca dipped in garlic or pink sauce! Their coleslaw/salad is NOT TO BE MISSED. It looks like a typical coleslaw but the flavor is unique and addicting. They also have tostones (fried plantains) shaped into bowls and filled with meat, cheese and salsa. These are super filling and could be a meal of their own! We got their giant cachapas (corn pancakes) filled with queso de mano (white handmade cheese) and topped with nata with a side of chicharrones (pork cracklings). Definitely could be a meal in itself and expect to take a nap afterwards! Everything is done so traditional, and the flavor is on point! There's so much more I still have yet to try on their menu. They have tacos, arepas, fajitas, patacones, and all the typical desserts. I did get a mango juice and was happy that it was obviously real mango and not just a syrup or flavoring! Overall this is quickly becoming a favorite Latin restaurant and I suggest you run (CÓRRETE!) to El Toque!

    Amazing Amazing Amazing.. me and my wife went and were literally out of words. The food is phenomenal.. phenomenal. Can't wait To come back

    Patacon was amazing! Fresh, crispy, tasty.

    The food is as authentic as they make it. As a Venezuelan that grew up there, this satisfies my cravings for the food I ate for so many years, and the price is just right as well. Their cachapas are my most requested item. Every Venezuelan will tell you cachapas are the one item that sets apart legit restaurants from the rest, and theirs doesn't disappoint. If you really want your mind blown, get some teque-yoyos. It's dangerous to live less than 10 min from this place!!

    Desayuno Llanero

    We love everything in this place. The ambiance layout is an open invitation to have a good time. The food had an authentic Venezuelan flavor. Everything was delicious, sancocho, desayuno llanero, parillita pastelitos, and don't let me start with the chicha, . but the best part of this experience was our server Cris, she went above and beyond, super nice and friendly, knows very well the menu and make good suggestions and recommendations. Thank you, Cris.

    Tequeños

    I had a great time here, had a to go order of tequenos and they were to die for. The lady working was also very sweet. Will be coming back!

It advertises itself to be Latin food,…read moreto appeal to the masses, but upon closer inspection, it has a focus on Venezuelan cuisine, which is super fun. I saw it one day, I was oooh, and I dove into the menu. I ordered three things and split them. Tequenos (Venezuelan cheese sticks). These look like little pastry dough mummies wrapped around a cheesestick, and they are flavorful and lovely. Very crispy and flakey on the outside. Ooey gooey, warm cheese on the inside. If you come, you Have to get these. Tata's Tostones with shredded chicken (3 Tostones with shredded chicken, queso de mano, pico de gallo + green sauce). These were fun, like tostadas, but with a tostone base. A very crispy, strong base, that held up well against all the toppings. The chicken was very well seasoned, and there was a lot of it. The pico was everywhere, and was very welcome, adding some pico to every single bite. And the queso was a slab of cheese that added a cheesy chewiness to each bite. Just lovely. I also got something that I can't place exactly on the online menus. But it was a steak stuffed arepa sandwich with some pico, some shredded cheese, and some crema. It was very good. The arepa shell was a little dry, but when pico and crema are everywhere, it doesn't matter. It all came together in a deliciousness. And the steak, even though it was cut up really small, it wasn't overcooked. It was good. Get this. Just get everything.

Just a heads up, don't let the exterior confuse you, yes, it's attached to like an auto body shop or mechanic shop but you are in the right place. After we figured that out it was easy peasy. We really enjoyed our food, the burger was awesome and the arepas were messy, but yummy too. The arepas were cut all the way through which I previous had eaten them more as like a pita pocket with one end closed so the goodies fell out when I bit into it. The brisket was so flavorful! One thing was that the brisket had a lot of grease, I put a napkin under my arepas so that they wouldn't get soggy and the napkin was soaked. It didn't deter me from enjoying my meal though, it just made it a little messy. I know for next time to immediately put something underneath the arepa. We enjoyed our meal and I'm already thinking about the next time I can go back!

Plus my son's apple juice was four buck for a bottle of hot apple juice. The plate itself was fine. Nothing to write home about the flavors were good the steak was tough but otherwise delicious. Staff pretty much ignored us (there were three tables with customers) while we were there so it was hard to even get a refill on water. I wouldn't go back but I will say if you're in the area at night it looks like a place you could visit for live music and entertainment. Maybe the drinks are better than the food!

The bartender acknowledged us and told us that someone would be with us shortly. We had to wait a few minutes, but we were eventually sat. Our waiter came over right away. He was nice, but he took about 10 minutes explaining the menu going through each category and giving his suggestions. It was just a little bit too much information and a little overwhelming. The glasses on our table were also dirty. Our waiter handled it well and brought us new cups. I ordered an iced latte and our waiter brought me a hot latte, but he was nice enough to change it to iced. For our entrées, we ordered the lemon pancakes, breakfast flatbread, potatoes, breakfast paella and avocado toast. The highlight was the pancakes. The lemon flavor was really present and the blueberries on top added a nice sweet touch. The potatoes were also delicious with the sauce that was on them. The avocado toast was okay. It was really small and not very flavorful. My friends loved the breakfast flatbread but I felt it was a little watery. The paella was underwhelming. Some of the rice was a little hard. It just didn't hit like the other dishes did, but then again I don't really like rice for breakfast. Overall, it was a great experience. There were just a few misses, but I will continue to dine here.

That said, it was super cool to see it lit on fire at the table--such a fun and memorable experience!

I got the Island Snapper -- a large perfectly prepared Snapper fillet served on top of rice seasoned with mango-avocado salsa. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. They kept the iced tea coming up till the end and served the birthday honorees ice cream at the end. I always like Bahama Breeze's tropical vibe. I hope Darden can keep that feel somewhere in their line of restaurants going forward.
