Nice little place to get lunch if you're into arepas, empanadas, and other similar food items…read more Staff are polite but not always friendly. I've gone twice and first time they were meh, second time they were a just bit friendlier. First time I went, I ordered a parchita, arepa pabellon, a mariscos Venezuelan empanada, and a chicken Colombian empanada. The pabellon, chicken empanada, and the parchita were delicious. The mariscos one was just alright in my opinion. The parchita was rather expensive unfortunately and they said it'd be frozen, but wasn't at all, so won't be ordering that again. This second time I ordered one of each Colombian empanada and a reina paisada arepa. The chicken and beef empanadas were fantastic, the cheese one was just alright and oddly liquidy. The reina paisada was disappointing because it tasted like canned chicken.

Let's start with the cachapa, melty, decently flavored chicken and the cachapa itself could be a little sweeter. But my reason for the lack of stars is going more towards the Mr. Baker side. The media noche was not all that. The pork was the driest and most flavorless part and isn't that supposed to be the star of the show?! Ham was just sliced deli ham but i must say the saving grace was that i put croquetas in it and their Ham corqueta was pretty darn good.

We ended up ordering for pickup up because it was a rainy morning and with kids it's just sometimes easier to stay in. We ordered the breakfast combo that comes with black beans, shredded beef, chicken, and pork. Arepa, cheese, and scrambled eggs. Everything tasted good! The portions were rather big, and everything came packed individually, which makes it very convenient to store in the fridge if you don't finish it. I do have to say that the arepas were not as good as mine lol. A bit hard maybe amd the empanada dough is a bit sweet so my husband who wanted empanadas, couldn't eat them because he can't take sugar. They were very nice over the phone and during pickup time!

The play gym area and the dining area around it were very clean. As I sat there for lunch, I saw a couple of different servers come by to clean and sweep after the children. There are a couple of four-top tables around the area, and we were seated at one. Our server, Mariarosa, was so sweet and on top of all we needed. She really made the experience exceed our expectations. The lunch menu was varied and priced fairly for the quality of food provided. I ordered the fish and shrimp ceviche bowl with rice. The patacones served with it were spot on. So crispy and delicious! For a couple of dollars more, one can choose to drink a soda, coffee, and/or dessert. Our whole party was really surprised by the overall quality of the food and service. Coupled with the fact that the children were occupied and were able to play safely while we dined was another spectacular perk.

The menu is a Latin fusion with a nice selection of Venezuelan and Peruvian cuisine. The Bocas Grill Ceviche - a mix of fresh fish, shrimp in a leche de tiger sauce and topped with fried calamari and chips. At the request of our server, we tried the Vuelva la Vida Cups - this is a plantain cup with a little seafood salad inside. This came 3 to the order and it was bursting with flavor. This was a great choice in the area. The food was delicious and we got to watch some soccer too.

I had a chance to check out their Miami Lakes location Saturday to "balance out" after a cocktail tasting event at nearby venue. Their rotisserie chicken - even the half chicken portion - is pretty sizeable and well flavored with a tasty citrusy, tangy flavor, and the tequenos are my favorite side, right up there with the sweet plantains that came with the chicken. My server was really pleasant and attentive, and they even saved my souvenir bag from the cocktail event. The restaurant itself was clean, well maintained, and with plenty of windows to look out over the Miami Lakes street scene. One thing I would improve is with the extra fee for the nata (butter) sauce to dip the tequenos. It comes with a green sauce (cilantro?) that I am just not a fan off. I did ask my server to take it off and substitute it with the, and found out that it is a bit extra. I mean, it is a substitution. It's not like I'm asking an extra sauce.

They have signs stating that pets can't come inside unless they're service animals. Not an issue. I read in the app that somebody's Uber eats driver got sent to a different location, Happened to us, too, but the bad directions took us close enough to see the place, so we just went there when the GPS started to send us into the dog track. We each had arepas (Llanera and Pelua, respectively) and a passionfruit margarita. They were uniformly excellent. The service was first rate - friendly, informative, courteous and attentive. The food was excellent, but it was the great service that made the experience stand out. Hats off to Jetsika, the server. We'll ask for her when we go back. Prices are on the high side for arepas, but not outlandish - We paid roughly $70 for both of us, including tax and tip. With the level of service we received, and the fact that this is not a take-out stand, it's worth the money. Good food, good service, decent prices... all pluses. We don't live anywhere near there, but we'll be back. An easy five stars.
