Food was good. Music was good. Just not child friendly. The waitress forgot a few things but overall food took long time to come out. It is more of a bar . Would def try take out / delivery again. I loved their Cachapa with queso de Mano, pernil was a bit greasy but tasted pretty good. My son loved the breaded chicken , rice and veggies. The did not give the complementary water. But ended the meal with a stuffed and cooked to perfection churro that was only $1.50. No complaints on how tasty their food was! read more

Casdeluna Restaurant - Half of the Cachapa the rest couldn't make it to the photo - Venezuelan Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

A really good first time experiencing Venezuelan food! I ordered the Chicharron and Guacamole to start because I see this combo a lot online and I must say it's fantastic! Fresh avocado, pico, lime compliments the salty, crunchy chicharron. They give large portions so make sure you have someone to share with. For my lunch I tried the Pabellon Arepas, which also tasted amazing. The shredded beef was tender and flavorful, along with the black beans and sweet plantains. What really carried this dish over the top was the arepa itself though. Hot, super fluffy, light, but able to hold up to all the ingredients. I ordered food to go and it held up to the travel, which is a big thing for me. Overall I'm glad I tried Casdeluna, and was more than satisfied with their food. read more

A hearty desayuno with some good arepas is the first thing I crave whenever I'm back in Queens. Unfortunately I hadn't been able to find any Colombian or Venezuelan places at all in the Trenton area for the longest time, until I found Casdeluna. The restaurant is tucked away in a mostly residential part of Chambersburg. Casdeluna has an all-day breakfast menu with many options, in addition to a extensive lunch/dinner menu. I placed my order online through their website and it was ready in 20 minutes. Note they do not have online payment, it is still in person at pickup (card or cash). The "desayuno especial" was great--fresh, generous portions, and most importantly the arepas were on point. The empanada was pretty good, could've been a little fresher though. For COVID, only the pickup window is open, no indoor dining. read more

I'm not sure if it's because I'm not Hispanic or what but, every time I call them all they say is it's closed. I call at reasonably hours around 10:30 and once 11:20 they told me they were closed. If, you're closed why are you still answering the phone? When, I asked the lady what time do they usually close. She just said, they are closed and hung up on me. How are you guys closed but, online it says 1:30am and they will answer the phone until that time. ALL OF A SUDDEN YALL JUST ALL WAYS CLOSED, I HOPE IT CLOSES FOR GOOD NOW! read more

Chambersburg in Trenton has transformed from one of America's oldest Little Italys to a Latin food oasis - especially Guatemalan. I never was in Chambersburg when it was an Italian enclave, but I have been there in recent years as it very close to the Trenton Transportation Center and the trains to NYC & Philly. This time I wanted to try out a Venezuelan eatery called CasDeLuna because I liked their sign outside stating they made 'The World's Best Arepas.' Service during the pandemic is at their outdoor window and that is where I ordered my meal. I tried three different types of Venezuelan arepas. First I ordered the Pabellon. This was very tasty with its filling of beef, plantains, and cheese. I then ordered the Pelua which again came with shredded beef but this time the cheese was a yellow one. Also on the tasty side but not as flavorful as the Pabellon. My final arepa was the largest one and that was a Cachapa. This is more like a sweet corn pancake rolled and filled with meat & cheese as well as lettuce and tomatoes. I would give this a thumbs up as well. Of course all arrived with the ubiquitous Venezuelan Guasacaca sauce which I gladly put on each of my arepas. This cilantro-based sauce can be addictive. I don't know if CasDeLuna's arepas are truly the best on the planet but I can tell you they are tasty and worthy of a stop when in the Trenton area. Tip - I was slightly overcharged which I discovered after I paid. I didn't say anything but as a result I didn't leave a tip. There are no prices listed on the big outdoor menu board. However while I was waiting for my food, I asked to see a paper menu which they keep behind the counter and there I saw the prices and realized they were slightly lower than what I was charged for each item. I would suggest asking for the paper menu when ordering so you can do the addition at the time of purchase. read more

This is authentic and delicious Venezuelan food. The Cachapa is a sweet corn based pie-pancake type food from Venezuela, just like the arepas that span Colombia and Vemezuela. The Cachapas are huge and only $5 (as of June 2019), and that is absolutely cheap. I'm used to paying over $11 for Cachapas in Miami. My girl had the tostones hamburger and she loved it. We ate outside which was great for the whether read more

This is more like 4.5 stars, the food was incredible (and I know, I'm Venezuelan) - but damn the place inside is dingey inside. I came here thanks to Yelpers who rightfully identified this as a Venezuelan Arepa restaurant/bar versus the Pizzeria it is tagged as. I am SO glad I ventured in because I had some of the best food here and at a great price. Hubby and I came for breakfast so we ordered two arepas - a very boring Perico one (just eggs and cheese) and a chicken and cheese (that was super yummy). At $5 a pop, I thought it was very reasonable, because they were a nice size with good filling. The TRUE SUPERSTARS of our order were the Patacon and Cachapa! The Patacon is a sandwich with your choice of shredded beef or chicken in between two giant tostones (fried green plantains), with lettuce tomato and sauce. Oh my goodness, this was heavenly! Hubby and I nearly fought over the last bite. As for the Cachapa, essentially it is a sweet corn pancake (of for Colombians a thin arepa de chocolo), filled with crumbled cheese. This was a really big size, with lots of cheese inside, I was in heaven. I could have one of these every single morning for breakfast! We got our order to go, and if it was warmer weather, I would've just ordered in their to go window and waited in my car, but instead we walked in to wait. The inside is a dingey bar, smells musty, terribly dark and outdated wallpaper. I really wish it was SLIGHTLY nicer, but even the table clothes looked like they had been here for 30 years. It is definetely more bar inside than restaurant, but they do have a few tables if you want to sit and eat. I would say to not be put off by the inside and please go in and get some delicious Venezuelan food! It is a great addition to the Trenton Latin cuisine, and I will be definitely going back! read more

Another night out with Trenton Eats Local led us to Casadeluna. Apparently, the only Venezuelan Arepas place in town and NJ. Casadeluna is now where Tatonni's Italian restaurant used to be. And the interior has not changed, but we came for the Arepas! 15 different kinds from Pernil, which was delicious, to scrambled eggs...all for$5 each. Casadeluna also serves many other options like fajitas and tostadas. They have a full bar however this is not the place to come to for a cocktail. Most patrons are doing shots or having beers or both. The lovely proprietor really wanted to please and made F her version of a gin and tonic (without tonic. Although she was going to run across the street to try and get some!). I was able to get a vodka martini, made by one of the people in our group, lol! Trenton is one of the coolest, quirkiest places in NJ. Our restaurants, cafes, shops reflect that vibe. A lot of people don't get us and probably need to stay in the sub-urbs. This is another local spot we will be coming to often! read more

Went to the place because it was recommended by a friend who lives near by order steak tacos, ceviche, rice, black beans, mixed fajitas, tostones all in meals... This food was horrible everything was dry the steak in the tacos and fajitas were like shoe leather... tostones over cooked..... spent $68 very disappointed will never go again!!! read more

Donde empezar..Entre y ni si quiera un "Hello buen venidos". Unas de los bartendos nos miro como si somos de otro planeta mientras tanto ella riéndose con un viejo ahi, oh perdon, el dj...Creo que nuestro tiempo ahi sirvió uno o dos tragos a cualquiera. Cuando tu entras un sitio, por lo minimum decirte hola y gracias por venir. Creo que los países de donde viene, se olviden de. Los negocios son nada sin los clientes. No es que ustedes son haciendo el favor a nosotros pero el contrario. Trenton podria ser un ciudad mejor sobre negocios y retsaurantes, etc. Empieza con los dueños y trabajadores. Cambia su manera y ser humano. Lindo citio per engañando con sus empleadas. Buena suerte y ojala cambia sus maneras de tratar todos cuando entra su puerta. Mejor bota a las bartenders que no tienen personalidades a todos que vienen ahi para gastar su dinero que trabajaron duro para gastar. read more

I was working in the area and I couldn't pass up a sign that said best arepas in the world. While I can't review the bar, the arepa was delicious. The inside was very clean and staff was inviting. Don't be discouraged if you are not a Spanish speaker. read more

I placed an order online for pick up at 930am, they are listed to open at 9am but when I arrived they were closed, no one answering the phone. Luckily I chose cash payment instead of using my card so I dont have to worry about a refund. Just wasted 45mins driving to and from a place that is closed but says they are open online :( read more

Love this place. Authentic family restaurant/bar. Waitress is so friendly. Food is delicious. I'm working my way through the whole menu. The price is great--very affordable and makes me want to eat there on the regular. One thing: good is so good and satisfying that I've gone right home after eating and having a beer or two and gone to sleep. Always a sign a good meal, when it knocks you out. read more

Asa venezuelan myself, I'm always curious/skeptical about trying Venezuelan food outside of Venezuela. In fact there are just a handful of places that I've tried here and the USA, and I have to say, that Casadeluna is amongst my favorites so far! The reason I don't give them full 5 stars is due to their coffee, I think they can improve the quality of it!! Arepas and Cachapas are outstanding!! read more

Update 6/17/2008... Annual pilgrimage was renewed tonight and unfortunately, true disappointment was the result. Downgraded from 4 stars to 2 stars. Mirna Castellanos is still the owner, but the restaurant is now more Hispanic food then Italian. The Italian option is still available. The bruschetta was poor (stale/overtoasted bread, too much garlic) The signature salad is still there (sans Melon) with smaller portions and meat. The pasta course was excellent but only red sauce is available (no crab sauce). The chicken Cacciatore was still good, but with smaller portions. They only had 4 Italian entrees total. The wine selection is extremely limited (Ruffino Chianti). None of last year's dessert choices were available. The service was good, and they did give us a nice additional course of the ethic cuisine (a spicy vegetable beef mixture which was great.) I'm truly sorry, but I can no longer recommend this restaurant. Another lost local treasure. read more

Steak arepas are my new true love. Place is a solid corner bar/ dive joint. And like all great dives the food is fantastic.

Great food. Recently in Colombia and these arepas remind my of my trip. They also have chachapas. Great food. Good prices. Great staff. A+

The food is delicious , well cooked and there's a variety of plenty of food from many different places . The service is fine , I like the idea of a Venezuelan restaurant since there's not a lot of them in Nj , would definitely come again read more

This is a Venezuelan restaurant so they serve dishes I've never tried before. The food and the service are outstanding. I have so far tried the arepas and the cachapas and had to bring home more for friends to try. The owner, Mirna speaks good English and the waiter Carlos is a doll. Everyone is very friendly. There are not many tables and the decor is old Chambersburg, so that's why I gave it only 4 stars. I have only been there for lunch, but there is a bar attached to the restaurant, so Casdeluna is a good dinner option as well. They have take out and delivery. I'll be back to try more Venezuelan dishes. read more
