It's one of my go-to spots when I'm at Edgewater Public Market, and I feel like it's one of the longer-standing food stalls. I love the variety of items they have on their menu without being too overwhelming. My favorite thing to get is the Pabellon Arepa, filled to the brim with black beans, shredded beef, fried plaintains, avocado, cheese, and Guasacaca sauce. Deliciously fresh and flavorful. In the future I need to try their Patacon. I love that they have pictures of everything on their menu. Check it out if you haven't already!

As a person who passionately write reviews on Yelp, finding a restaurant many call a hidden gem is…read morea prideful moment. Last Sunday (on the day many were getting ready for their Super Bowl gatherings), I was busy running some errands in Sunnyside neighborhood. All of a sudden, the thought of eating to entertain my 70% empty stomach hit me, I searched for the word "empanada" as I wanted some finger food and this restaurant came up in my search. Upon finding out that it was about 5-10 minutes away from where I was, it was a no brainer to me. This is a Venezuelan restaurant with almost 5-star review. Not knowing much about Venezuelan cuisine, my first thought was that they might have similar dishes as the surrounding South American countries like Columbia do. But most of all, I was so eager to try their empanadas. I've had Argentinian, El Salvadorian, Columbian and Nicaraguan versions of empanadas in the past. I wondered how different Venezuelan ones would be... I was warmly greeted by a young lady upfront upon arrival. This is a small/family style restaurant. The number of tables is very limited but you can sit outside as long as the weather permits. There was a large table of 7-9 people having a birthday party. I think I hit the place during the peak lunch time. Their empanadas are priced at $8 range. This was a bit pricey to me at the first glance but since I didn't know what kind of portion size they'd be made in, I thought I'd give them a try. I got me Reina Pediada, Sweet Domino and Fish. The total came to $27 with some change. Yup, you usually don't pay this much for a few to several empanadas but hey, like I said, I decided not to judge at that point. The young lady who took my order impressed me with some careful attention to detail. I placed my sunglasses at the ordering counter where the space was very limited. She had to move them just a little when she placed the credit card receipt for me to sign it. "I worked in the optics before." is what she said when she gently placed my sunglasses a little to the side in a very careful way. What a kind/considerate gesture that was! This kind of minor and yet incredible care didn't escape my notice. Thank you!!! When my food was ready, the same young lady handed me my bag. It was quite heavy. As soon as I got to my car, I opened it and there they were; my beautiful empanadas were large and dense/heavy!! They appeared to be all deep-fried so I wonder if Venezuelan style empanadas are all that way? Not sure. Anyway, I was on my way to a job duty so I had to eat quickly. I started to take a bite out of each one and ohhh yes, they were dense with a lot of fillings inside. Although I must frankly say that I like the flaky baked kind of empanadas more, these Venezuelan ones were equally impressive. Yes, this was a surprise find. I will definitely stop by here when I'm in the neighborhood for sure.

It's pretty small in here, but there are a few stool tables that can be used if you wanna have your item right away. The place is very clean, which I love. It's the first thing I noticed it is what I appreciated the most. This is definitely family owned or something. You could see the young lady that was there working in real time on many of the baked goods and the young man at the register was very kind and explained everything on the menu. There was a big TV with the Denver playoffs on, so I truly appreciated that while waiting. Oliver items were baked to perfection. The dough is really good almost a salty taste to the bread which I enjoyed. Our Venezuela donut was amazing. Everybody loved it and the custard was luscious delicious, not too sweet and just right and filled to the brim.

I had nothing against Pico Arepa but I've had other arepas from other trucks and found them to be rather disappointing. However, I was too hungry + drinking on an empty stomach severely limited my options. I left my bar stool to see whatever options they had with low expectation and enthusiasm. I got there during a slight lull and didn't have too much time to decide since I was the second in line to order. I asked for a recommendation and they said the best seller was the shredded beef option, the Pabellion with the green sauce and salsa. I also got advised/convinced to get the fries as well since I mentioned I was hungry. They let me know of the wait because of all the people but it wasn't that bad, especially since what I got was for larger and tastier than I expected. The arepa I've had before were like bao size but the ones here is basically a burger size hunk of meat where I didn't need the fries. I mean, I ate the fries of course because they were delicious; the thin, crispy kind that went real well with that green sauce. Definitely the highlight of my visit, not the beer.
