My husband and I love Venezuelan food so we were excited to try this spot when visiting family in…read morethe area. We ordered arepas, tequeños and yuca frita. Both the yuca frita and traueños were good. Unfortunately the arepas we ordered were a disappointment. Now in their defense we may be completely spoiled as my husband use to work at the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC so we had some of the best food available but with that reference in our mind these were sub par. The arepas themselves were very thin and hard. Sad because the spot is cute and staff was overall friendly so I would've been a repeat customer when we come to town quarterly for a month at a time but unfortunately we won't.

My only complaint is that all the filling was toward the front, so the end was basically just arepa. Still, it wasn't oily despite being fried. The Pabellon Empanada (9/10) was the standout. The crispy shell was perfect, and the combination of shredded beef, black beans, cheese, and sweet plantains worked so well together. The plantain added the perfect sweetness. Both were surprisingly light and not too greasy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving Venezuelan food.

I'm happy to report that when I went recently, we still really enjoyed it. It was my boyfriend's first time and he is now a fan and we both recommended it to our friend who lives in the area. You can also make reservations if you'd like although the times I've been, walking in is also fine. Last time we got the Bienmesabe Sampler, which is enough appetizers to share with four people lol. Our ranking of the items in the sampler were the tostones (soooo good), tequeño (my boyfriend loved), mandioca, and then the empanadas. The empanadas are my least favorite - I'd prob see if I could sub it out for something else in the future. I do like that they provide an assortment of empanadas. Then we got a cachapa with chicken - the cachapa itself was so good although next time we would try a different protein. Lots of delicious cheeses to be found - lactose-intolerant people should prepare accordingly.

Got two pupusas (pork and cheese, chicken and cheese), rice and beans, chicken sandwich, and horchata. Each item was excellent. Pupusas are made fresh and are not oily; chicken sandwich had a great dipping sauce and the total flavor profile is great; horchata is sooo good with the mild peanut flavor. To boot the service is high quality, well kept restaurant, and prices are fair. I'd happily come back. Thank you for a great meal!

The cashier was bilingual and offered to take our order but we opted for the user-friendly kiosk. The open kitchen layout lets us see the cooks and the fresh ingredients being put together! We got some arepas that were marked as favorites: Pabellón, and Llanera, some extra Top Green Sauce, and Tamarind juice. The Pabellón has sweet plantain in it. DELICIOUS BALANCE of sweet and savory. Everything was hot and the arepa was stuffed to nearly bursting. We got this one fried with the white cheese. Llarena had picaña and avocado. We got this one grilled but I would highly recommend getting them fried instead. The avocado was perfectly ripe and the picaña.. girl I would eat that with a fork by itself. Flavorful and juicy 10/10. Tamarindo Juice was yummy, I added ice at home. Each arepa comes with green sauce but I say get an extra cos you're gonna want the flavor boost! I plan to come back and taste a burger or anything else on their extensive menu!

I ordered tequenos with cheese, chicken arepa, cordon bleu with chicken empanada, the trio with beef, cheese, plantain, and sugar cane with lime drink. The service was great. The staff was very kind and attentive. Prices were cheap and food portions were big. The staff knows some English, so better brush off on your Spanish from school. Or you can just point. -tequenos with cheese 5 - very cheesy and addicting. -chicken arepa 5 - way better than the ones I had at Top Arepa in Schaumburg. This arepa does not crumble so easily, it holds everything inside very well. -cordon bleu with chicken empanada 5 - crunchy exterior with loads of chicken inside. -trio with beef, cheese, and plantain empanada 5 - crunchy and very flavorful. This one was my favorite. -sugar cane with lime drink 5 - very tasty drink. I could drink a gallon of this. Not sweet at all.
