    This is still one of the best Venezuelan restaurants in Charlotte!…read more I came back for lunch with other coworkers, and this place still offers a solid menu with a good variety of traditional items. We ordered the empanadas, tequeños and the sugar cane lemonade (papelon con limon) and we absolutely loved it! Los Chamos is still on South Blvd. with its own free parking lot. Staff is still fully bilingual and super friendly. Common areas are spacious and clean. There is still no outside seating. I can't wait to come back and try more menu items.

    Delicious flavors, modern elevated casual ambience and plating. Reasonable portions and…read moreunpretentious service. Good quality and decent value. Unique compared to some of the more general Latin options, as they really do focus on Venezuelan fare. Parking and decor a plus! All of the appetizers were amazing--we got everything except the tacos. The trio and flight options are truly the way to go here, the flavors are all different and you really need to try them all! The chimichurri here is probably my favorite of all time. The rich smoky flavor is so deep and satisfying, I've never had one so robust. I wish I had done an entree that was smothered in it!!! Next time, for sure. Don't pass on desert. The flan is just right and I appreciated the molasses flavor in the syrup, although my dining partner wished for some lime zest to lighten the dish--preferences can differ!

    I've been to this place a couple of times now because I wanted to give it more than one opportunity…read morebefore writing my review. On my first visit, I tried the Venezuelan hot dog without the quail eggs. The bun was nicely toasted, and the hot dog was packed not only with ingredients but also with great flavor. It was definitely a great hot dog, and I highly recommend trying it. The quail eggs weren't something I personally wanted on mine, but others may enjoy that option. I also tried the mini arepas, which came with beans, chicken salad, and pork. I was actually surprised that the bean arepa ended up being my favorite. It was packed with so much flavor. The chicken salad was okay, but I felt like it could have used a little more seasoning. The pork was really good and seasoned to perfection. I also had their cachapas, which came with fried cheese, steak, and a sweet corn pancake. The steak could have used a little more seasoning, but the sweet corn pancake was amazing. I would highly recommend the food, and their drinks are very good as well. It is a small restaurant, so there is not a ton of space, but it has a great vibe inside. Now, as far as the service, my first visit was amazing. The second time, however, the service was not good. We sat on the patio, and the waitress was very short with us and came across as rude. Overall, I would still recommend checking this place out for the food and drinks, but I do hope the service becomes more consistent because the food is definitely worth trying. He visitado este lugar un par de veces porque quería darle más de una oportunidad antes de escribir mi reseña. En mi primera visita, probé el hot dog venezolano sin los huevos de codorniz. El pan estaba bien tostado, y el hot dog estaba cargado no solo de ingredientes, sino también de mucho sabor. Definitivamente fue un muy buen hot dog, y lo recomiendo mucho. Los huevos de codorniz no eran algo que personalmente quisiera en el mío, pero a otras personas les puede gustar esa opción. También probé las mini arepas, que venían con frijoles, ensalada de pollo y cerdo. Me sorprendió que la arepa de frijoles terminó siendo mi favorita. Tenía muchísimo sabor. La de ensalada de pollo estuvo bien, pero sentí que le faltaba un poco más de sazón. La de cerdo estaba muy buena y perfectamente sazonada. También probé sus cachapas, que venían con queso frito, carne y una panqueca dulce de maíz. La carne pudo haber tenido un poco más de sazón, pero la panqueca dulce de maíz estaba increíble. Recomiendo mucho la comida, y sus bebidas también son muy buenas. Es un restaurante pequeño, así que no hay muchísimo espacio, pero tiene un gran ambiente por dentro. En cuanto al servicio, mi primera visita fue excelente. Sin embargo, la segunda vez el servicio no fue bueno. Nos sentamos en el patio, y la mesera fue muy cortante con nosotros y se sintió un poco grosera. En general, todavía recomiendo visitar este lugar por la comida y las bebidas, pero espero que el servicio sea más consistente, porque la comida definitivamente vale la pena probarla.

Cute lit up signs everywhere give it a cool vibe and the food was so so good. The staff were so nice, constantly giving us delicious sauces to enjoy and the food was amazing! The plantains were sweet and crisp and the arepas were HUGE, completely stuffed to the brim! If we are in the area again we will definitely check it out

    I loved Viva Chicken in Ballantyne...but for some reason, I haven't been back in years…read more This time, I tried this Elizabeth location with my husband...and I have to be frank. This location paled in comparison to that at the much larger and nicer Ballantyne location. Of course that was like 6 years ago? First of all, aesthetically, this place just felt a bit off. The walk-up to the counter was very narrow...and the layout felt a bit too narrow and tight. Also, the menu selection seemed much smaller than I remembered it. At the Ballantyne location, I also remember that they had this Sangria drink...but not here. They did have 2 juice flavors...but nothing too exciting. In any case, I had the same item that I enjoyed before...the Peruvian Fried Rice. Again, it looked and tasted a bit weaker than I had remembered it. I did enjoy the 2 sauces that greatly helped the bland flavor of the rice. Also tried their Mini Churros...which were quite good. My husband enjoyed the Rotisserie chicken, and his 2 sides...but he felt the same as me, in that the layout felt tight and awkward. Overall, we thought the foods were good enough to return. We just didn't find the place very comfy.

    Viva Chicken is always a go to favorite. They have options for everyone. Their salads and stuffed…read moreavocados are SO GOOD, and their wraps are also delicious. They have an easy pickup counter if you order online. Consistently a good spot for quick and easy meals!

    Finally made it here. As a lover of Peruvian food I wanted to try this not so chain Peruvian…read morerestaurant out. Located where the former Moes was in the Pineville Matthews shopping center with Bonefish and Panera. The place looked pretty clean although after ordering my food I noticed the sanitation grade was a 91...yikes. Anyways I went ahead and ate there. So let me start by saying the menu is large, so many different items to chose from and not only Peruvian food. I saw some Colombian and Venezuelan items. With that being said I was very shocked at the lack of standard side items. Literally rice and white rice at that, pinto beans and like one other things. All other sides are considered premium sides and those premium sides would be basic sides at like hello chicken or viva chicken. I got the 1/4 chicken, white meat with reg side of white rice and premium side of plantains. For the dipping sauce I was limited to the yellow mild sauce or the spicy hot sauce. They were all out of the green mild sauce. Just for context I arrived at 11:40, they open at 11. Not sure how they ran out so fast but I would have loved to try it because the yellow sauce was just ok and the red was cold and just spicy no real flavor. Thankfully the chicken was flavorful and juicy, the white rice was white rice and the plantains were cooked beautifully. Also the cashier was great and provided excellent service. All in all, I would visit again but no rush to go back again. Viva Chicken still takes the lead for now for me. I would love them to mature their side menu, increase their sanitation grade and have the green sauce available.

    This is a hidden gem, amazing ceviches, anticuchos, lomo saltado and chaufa, the quality of the…read morefood is elite and the chef knows what he is doing, I go there every time to dine in and take out.
