I'll definitely go back and try the empanadas next time. Oh service was excellent too, very friendly and helpful.

If you're craving authentic Venezuelan food in Utah, Llaneros Restaurant is the place. In my…read moreopinion, it's hands-down the best Venezuelan food in Salt Lake City the kind of spot that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The flavors are real, the portions are generous, and everything tastes like it was made with care and tradition. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable asking questions if you're new to Venezuelan food, and if you are Venezuelan, you'll feel that warm familiarity. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or a comfort-food craving. Kudos for Juan Carlos and Yenny.

I waited for a few minutes before someone took my order: a milo frío and Sancocho. My drink came immediately, but it took a little while for my food. The Sancocho was a decent serving with a good portion of meat and white rice and avocado on the side. A little cold but good flavor. My biggest gripe is this, the service was consistently not good. I noticed that the female owner was going around to tables and introducing herself and talking to customers who looked like they spoke Spanish. That's all good and well, but there were still tables who perhaps didn't speak Spanish and still eating at her restaurant. This includes me. Why weren't we greeted or talk to in the same way? That was reason enough to not return. Yo hablo Español señora y tengo nopal en la frente.

I think this is the first time I've tried Bolivian food and it was very tasty! We tried two kinds…read moreof empanadas: salteno and tucumana. The salteno reminded me of a chicken pot pie. It was juicy, with lots of filling, and a thick, crunchy crust. The tucumana was more like other empanadas I've had. They came with 3 salsas and they were all tasty (spicy, non-spicy, and cilantro). I also tried the Charquekan. It's fried yucca, hominy, cheese, crispy pork, sweet plantains, and crispy lamb jerky. Everything was cooked to perfection. The ingredients are simple, but the variety of textures and flavors keep it interesting and balance each other. Talking with the owner, this is their 2nd location (hence the "2" in the restaurant's name). He is Mexican and she is Bolivian. So they both have a restaurant featuring their cuisine, so cool. The decor is amazing, lots of Bolivian art and tchotchkes showing off the diversity of Bolivian culture. The restaurant is designed to look like you are sitting on a side street in Bolivia. The floor even has a cool design. Really awesome place. Highly recommend you check it out! It's a little bit hidden, but look for it just south of Chinatown between Tous Les Jours and Hot Pot!

The Lomo Saltado and Lomo Montado were both incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned, showing off that rich, traditional Bolivian & Peruvian spice profile.

Of course, you can't visit without trying the Salteñas--they were exceptionally prepared and bursting with flavor. Everything we ate was outstanding and clearly made with care. If you're in SLC and want a meal that really stands out, this is the spot!

Eat to live, not live to eat--but this place may make you fall in love with food!…read moreThe first time I went to El Sentir Zuliano, it was on the recommendation of a friend who said if I'm going to eat Venezuelan food, I had to try arepas (and recommended the patacon). That was several years ago. Since then, it's been stuck in my mind. I had the opportunity to go yesterday - the place has an open, airy, and cheerful feel, right down to the Venezuelan flag draped over the counter. Because I was eating with co-workers, a side note: they have menus in both Spanish and English - so if you look and don't understand, ask. Our waitress was cheery and sweet, and it was hard not to enjoy being there. The portions are HUGE. Be forewarned - I ended up with a box and just finished my leftovers for lunch - and even though I left less than half, I'm still full now. This time around, I got the arepas (well, the Cabimeras). As I was ordering, I was going to get the pulled pork, but the waitress encouraged me that I could mix and match, so I added grilled chicken to the mix. The menu refers to a "mountain" of food or something like that - I didn't get so much of a pyramidic mountain, but more like a wide shield-volcano of flavor and joy. Part of that was the sheer concobulation of proteins: eggs, ham, pork, chicken; and then sauces - ketchup, mayo?, there was lettuce in there with some sort of cheese...possibly other things...I gorged myself yesterday because it was soooo good. Today, even heated leftovers are still SO satisfying. If I get a chance to go back, this place may just become my favorite in the Salt Lake Valley. TL;DR - Too much food makes it worth the brilliant eruption of flavor!
