One word you all need to learn Spanish: patachones. This is a large sandwich that uses two fried plantains in place of a bun. The single meat version only costs $16, and I think it could feed it two large men. It's incredibly flavorful, and I didn't even have to add sauce. The counter service was kind and easy to talk to. The food came quick, and the inside of the restaurant is worth a shot in a music video. The whole place is an awesome nod to Venezuelan culture. Caracas Sabroso is great for work time lunch or a longer meal. Definitely one of the best places I've been to on the north side of Indianapolis. read more

Caracas Sabroso - Patachones sandwich with chicken - Venezuelan Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Brought a colleague from Caracos... he was very impressed with the food and portions. Crazy good. Patacones are the staple 'sandwich' from VZ with plaintains fried as sandwich top/bottom. The fried rice dish was big enough for 4ppl. Tequenos were stuffed with Blanco Queso cheese. Really fun decor and they accommodate with picture menu. Also they make traditional Sugar Cane beverage that's nutty sweet. So pour to your liking. Very tasty. read more

Now I have been on a Venezuelan food kick. So I went to a new place and I must say it is very cute on the inside. The service was really great the young man at the counter is very nice. Now ai would've gave them a 5 but the meat was not shredded but rather cut into small piece and a little on the dry end. whilel the other places that I previously tried had the meat shredded and it was really juicy. But I would go again if in the area. read more

I went to run an errand and noticed a new place to eat that I wanted to try out for lunch, so I went ahead and checked out Caracas Sabroso. This is a new Venezuelan place in the GreenBriar area that serves very good cuisine and it is very unique. The place was deserted when I walked in,but it was in the middle of the day, and did not expect it to be busy. The ambiance was very eclectic and different, but it stood out in a good way, and was very attractive. The woman behind the counter showed me the lunch menu and explained it to me in full detail. I decided to go with the chicken and Pork Venezuelan rice entree. This was incredible!! It came with two small spring rolls on top which were delicious. The rice had great flavor and consistency to it and the chicken/pork combination made the lunch entree even more enjoyable. The lunch entree was also a good size portion for my money, so I was very happy about that as well. Caracas Sabroso is a wonderful new addition to the Greenbriar area, and I will definitely be back here to try something new because the menu is very different and unique unlike other restaurants and the ambiance is very nice and cozy. It is a breath of fresh air that is needed for Greenbriar!! read more

I'm struggling between a three and four-star review. Quite honestly, if they'd been open a while and I wasn't the first to review, it would probably be three stars, but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt as they have just opened. First, the good: - They've remodeled substantially from the previous dark and bland dining room. It is now vibrant and bright, with a nice counter to see the menu and order. - They have lots of Venezuelan dishes to try. - Staff is friendly and the food comes out reasonably fast. The things that need a little work: - They only have electronic menu boards, no paper menus or QR codes, and the menus change slowly, so you can't see the entire menu as you are trying to order. - I'm not sure if it was a language barrier or an unhelpful attitude, but I couldn't get the cashier to really guide me through the menu or help with my questions. - I'm not sure if she grabbed the wrong empanada or I misunderstood her description, but I asked for the shredded beef empanada and got the ground beef one. While it came with an aioli of some sort, the filling was just beef, fairly flavorless, and very greasy. - The beef we ordered was very dry and wasn't very seasoned. I hope the kitchen can find their footing. The presentation was lovely. - It would be great if they could pivot away from Styrofoam containers for carry out. - I know they are just starting and probably have a lot of start up costs, but the prices relative to what you get is very high. I ordered a small drink that was served with A LOT of ice and it was more than $4. A lunch entree with pretty inexpensive ingredients, a ground beef empanada, and drink was $24. At those prices, we wouldn't be able to go very often. read more

Food is great although the girl in the front desk seems mad all the time. The place is aesthetically pleasing

The service was prompt and the food was delicious. I had the Asado Negro, was amazing the meat, pork roast was tender, marinated exceptionally. Plantain was perfect and potato salad was so delicious.

A Venezuelan friend recommended me to go to this place so you know it is good. Everything inside was in Spanish and we ordered in Spanish. The inside was very bright and well decorated. It was the best empanada I have ever had. Now I'm a patacon fan. The prices are high but everything is very high quality. My only complaint is that the portion size is big and it doesn't seem like there are smaller options. read more

I've been a fan of Ovis Bistro ever since their food truck days on West Rockville Road, where I could always count on delicious Venezuelan food and a satisfying experience. So, when I heard they had opened a new location on 86th Street, I was eager to check it out. The new restaurant has a nice ambiance, and I was excited to return for my favorite dishes. Unfortunately, my experience this time was far from ideal. The Service:The service was where things took a turn. I ordered four chicken pasteles, only to be told that they were out and instead offered chicken empanadas. I agreed to go with the empanadas and also ordered two pizza pasteles to go. The waitress charged me and I patiently waited for my order. However, upon getting to my car, I realized that I had only received 3 empanadas and 2 pasteles, not the 4 empanadas I had paid for. When I went back inside to inform the waitress about the mistake, I was met with an unhelpful and somewhat dismissive attitude. She didn't seem particularly concerned about the error and made it feel like I was causing an inconvenience. The Order:When I finally got home and unpacked my food, I noticed that the empanadas I received weren't even the ones I had ordered. Out of the 4 empanadas, only one was chicken--another was shredded beef, another cheese, and the last was pabellón. To make matters worse, the pasteles I received didn't match my order either. Instead of two pizza pasteles, I got a ham and cheese pastel and one pizza pastel. The Conclusion:While I've always loved the food at Ovis Bistro, the service at this new location left a lot to be desired. It's disappointing when a restaurant with such potential falls short on service and attention to detail. My suggestion to Ovis Bistro: Please invest in training your staff, as it can make all the difference in maintaining the reputation that you've built. The food may be great, but bad service can easily overshadow a good meal, and this experience was a letdown He sido un fan de Ovis Bistro desde sus días de camiones de comida en West Rockville Road, donde siempre pude contar con deliciosa comida venezolana y una experiencia satisfactoria. Así que, cuando me enteré de que habían abierto una nueva ubicación en la calle 86, estaba ansioso por echarle un vistazo. El nuevo restaurante tiene un buen ambiente, y estaba emocionado de volver por mis platos favoritos. Desafortunadamente, mi experiencia esta vez estuvo lejos de ser ideal. El servicio: El servicio fue donde las cosas tomaron un giro. Pedí cuatro pasteles de pollo, solo para que me dijeran que estaban fuera y en su lugar ofrecí empanadas de pollo. Acepté ir con las empanadas y también pedí dos pasteles de pizza para llevar. La camarera me cargó y esperé pacientemente mi pedido. Sin embargo, al llegar a mi coche, me di cuenta de que solo había recibido 3 empanadas y 2 pasteles, no las 4 empanadas que había pagado. Cuando volví a entrar para informar a la camarera sobre el error, me encontré con una actitud inútil y algo desdeñosa. Ella no parecía particularmente preocupada por el error e hizo sentir que yo estaba causando un inconveniente. El orden: Cuando finalmente llegué a casa y desempaqué mi comida, me di cuenta de que las empanadas que recibí ni siquiera eran las que había pedido. De las 4 empanadas, solo una era pollo, otra era carne desmenuzada, otra queso, y la última era pabellón. Para empeorar las cosas, los pasteles que recibí tampoco coincidían con mi pedido. En lugar de dos pasteles de pizza, conseguí un pastel de jamón y queso y un pastel de pizza. La conclusión: Aunque siempre me ha encantado la comida en Ovis Bistro, el servicio en esta nueva ubicación dejó mucho que desear. Es decepcionante cuando un restaurante con tal potencial se queda corto en servicio y atención al detalle. Mi sugerencia para Ovis Bistro: Por favor, invierta en la capacitación de su personal, ya que puede marcar la diferencia en el mantenimiento de la reputación que ha construido. La comida puede ser genial, pero el mal servicio puede eclipsar fácilmente una buena comida, y esta experiencia fue una decepción read more
