    Venezuelan Sampler
    Oriana C.

    As a venezuelan, loved the vine of the place and all the little trinkets they had which reminded me of home. We went with a group of four and got the mandocas and venezuelan sampler platter. It was the perfect amount of food. The owners came by and talked to us which made us feel heard and cared by. Definitely will recommend this place to any latin food lover

    Arepa Tumbarrancho

    The restaurant has a really vibe-y atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor (under the plaza awning) seating. The waitress served us from outside which was a pleasant surprise, as I thought we'd have to order inside before transiting back out. My partner's arepa looked phenomenal, and my breakfast was also really good. Wasn't a fan of the plantain donut ring things but I love trying new things so it was still a great choice.

    El Venezolano Breakfast and Cachapa with Pabellon

    We really enjoyed breakfast here! Outdoor seating was very nice. Our server was great and who I think was the owner came to ask how we enjoyed everything as well.

    Arepa Reina Pepiada

    Excellent Venezuelan food we had for breakfast. The place is really cozy and the food was amazing with less of options

    Arepa pabellon, PERFECT
    Carlos M.

    My mom is from Venezuela so I grew up with arepas, tequenos and all of that good food. This place is delicious and authentic. I've been here twice so far and have loved the food each time. It's a small business and the owners are awesome. Very friendly folks. I ordered: Tequenos - Some of the best tequenos I've had in a while. (they are kind of like cheese sticks but doughier and more delicious). They came with a garlic cilantro dipping sauce. Arepa pabellon - So GOOD. This arepa has all of the ingredients of the national dish of Venezuela; Shredded beef, black beans, fried sweet plantains and an obscene abundance of grated cheese. Very messy but worth every bite. 10/10. The only downside is the food comes out SCORCHING HOT. I had to let my food cool down for about 10 minutes before I took a bite. No big deal to me, better hot than cold. Would be perfect if the food were not as hot though. They also sell traditional Venezuelan snacks like torontos and cocosettes. These can be difficult to find at most supermarkets so it's nice to see them in stock here. They also have freshly made traditional Venezuelan cheeses. I got a block of palmizulia and it tastes extremely authentic! It's an awesome place overall. I look forward to exploring more of their menu.. I'll try their reina pepiada and cachapas next. Can't wait!

    Arepa w/ Shredded Chicken
    Zoe C.

    3.5 stars. The restaurant has potential, but the food is pretty bland. I got the Arepa with Shredded Chicken -- it lacked flavor until I doused it in hot sauce. Some of the chicken was blue, which was questionable. The arepa itself was good, but I have had better. If I am in the area again, I will go back and try something else.

    The food was wonderful. We order a Reina pepiada, una empanada de pabellón, y arepa de carne mechada. All 3 were delicious. My favorite was the empanada. It exterior was crunchy yet soft. It was the perfect combination of fresh, sweet, crunch, and deliciousness. It taste like a piece of heaven. I also order their coconut lemonade. That alone was to die for. Staff attention was on point. Friendly, funny, charismatic and fast. I don't usually leave glorious reviews but this one deserve it.

    For the price you're better off going to a restaurant with entres. Over priced arepas and overall overpriced for the portions you get.

We were greeted and seated right away. The menu is extensive -- plus you can look at some of the dishes displayed in the cafeteria area. They do a lot of takeout and have numerous lunch specials. Shout out to Yelp elite Lisa H who came here. And caused me to bookmark the location. The restaurant is Latin. It's a mix of country cuisines. Mexican, Cuban, Colombian, Honduran, Salvadoran, et al. My husband wasn't that hungry and decided to just have a small chicken soup. The small soup turned out to be a huge meal! The soup was excellent -- a flavorful broth and packed with all sorts of veggies and chicken with a side of white rice and plantains. He was very happy. I'd been craving a cocktail de camarones after seeing a recent Instagram post. So I searched Yelp and this restaurant showed it on their menu. I was disappointed when we came in to no longer see it on their menu. However, after asking the server about it, the kitchen was happy to make it for me. It was a very big serving -- delicious and refreshing. There were two huge shrimp on the edge of the glass plus a large lettuce leaf. Inside there were chopped shrimp pieces along with chopped tomatoes and onions, all in a red (ketchup) based sauce. It's kind of a mix between gazpacho and ceviche. They served a fresh made tostada along side. And I used some of the taco chips as well. The different daily lunch specials sound wonderful as do their taco specials. Pricing is quite reasonable and portions are large. We'd definitely come back here!

I asked for an itemized receipt, and sure enough, some items had been rung up differently. The person at the counter explained that they recently started using Uber Eats, and the upcharged prices were only meant to be for people ordering from Uber--not in the restaurant. He had to call his manager to fix it, so I waited while they sorted it out. I appreciated that they did correct the issue, but it was a bit confusing. But this part of the experience did feel misleading to customers in general. After paying, the cashier went to the back and didn't return for a while. We weren't offered water or drinks while we waited for the food, and when I tried to get someone's attention from the front desk, no one came. Eventually, someone from the kitchen kindly helped us out--huge thanks to her! The food itself was fantastic, and I'd absolutely come back in hopes that it was just an off day. The space inside felt a little quiet and low-energy, and the young man at the counter didn't seem super enthusiastic--but everyone has those days. All in all, great food with room to grow on the service side. I'll definitely give it another try.
