Fairly basic on the inside with dark wooden tables and not much light. That said it was cozy and we were very comfortable. The meals are very large. My wife ordered Picada Reina Lucero, which had several varieties of meat, white cheese, tartar sauce on top and two sides of other sauces, one a chunky green sauce and a smooth white sauce that mostly tasted like salty butter. The meat was piled on top of fried arepas. My BIL ordered a half chicken and an empanada with pork. The empanada was large and the pork filling was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I ordered the De La Casa Arepones with shredded beef. Ham, cheese and sauce were served along with the delicious shredded beef. This is the only item we ordered that could be considered as a single serving, but even at that it was a lot of food. If I'm in the area I will not hesitate to stop in again and explore more of their menu.

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 patacones are sandwiches that are served on fried plantains and filled with meat, cheese, lettuce and sauce. The variety of flavor just explodes in your mouth. So fresh and tasty. Also the yuca fries are freshly made and served with cheese. There's a variety of beverages available that are traditional Venezuelan and Columbian like papelon con limon or simply choose from Coca-Cola products too. We dined inside and there are several tables available with the inside decor giving a fun Latin flare. Food was served promptly and they even checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything else. I'm looking forward to another visit soon so I can explore some other fun menu options from La Casa. Thank you Chris and team and I wish you a successful journey on this new adventure inside Granatos Itery.

I think their coffee is decent and they have a lot of options for flavored drinks. It's awesome that you can try a full flight with different flavors, but I'm not sure if the value is fantastic for the price, especially for 4 half sized drinks. I might just order 4 drinks and just bring an extra friend to help me finish them. The shop is clean with a fun design, it has a lot of natural elements with out feeling forced and an awesome mural on the wall. The staff is friendly and fast for sending out orders and happy to help with any questions that you have. They do utilize a kiosk or QR code for ordering, which takes some of the personality out of the transaction, but it goes smoothly over all and gives you extra time to choose.

We recently dined at this charming little spot, and while it's a bit out of the way, it's definitely worth the drive. The Venezuelan food here is reasonably priced, and the menu offers a wide variety of delicious options. We started with the tequeños, which were freshly made and generously sized. For our main course, we had the goat in coconut sauce, which was incredibly flavorful and came with a side of rice, potato salad, and tostones. The goat dish was delicious but be prepared to work through some bones to get to the meat. It's not the best choice if you're looking for an easy meal, but it's definitely worth the effort. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Venezuelan cuisine. read more
