    Tostones, Empanada Clásica, Arepa Blondie, arepa clásica, Classic Plate with chicken
    Lauren B.

    We ordered takeout from Catira and definitely will be coming back. We tried the tostones, empanada clásica, arepa blondie, arepa clásica, and the classic plate with chicken. Everything was so flavorful; it's hard to pick a favorite. I think though mine was the empanada clásica. I also really loved the salsa that came with the tostones. Definitely recommend Catira!

    Please, please get the Cachapa with Beef here!! Do yourself a favor and listen to me! This dish was the bomb! The saltiness of the beef blended perfectly with the sweetness of the Cachapa! You need both to have that flavor bomb!! I would definitely come back just for this dish!

    Monalisa drink - I'm a mezcal gal and love anything guava. It tasted as good as I imagined

    I loved the mini empanadas, you can get multiple to taste different ones and not stuff yourself The tequeños were also delicious. My husband had the Pabellón Criollo and ate it so fast, didn't leave a crumb lol I love mezcal and guava so I had to try the Monalisa cocktail, and it was perfection. The decor is so cute and lovely. The waiters were very prompt with orders and friendly. Really nice place! Too bad I live in downtown Denver or I'd come more often.

    Came here at the tail end of happy hour on a Monday with our infant and friends and had a great time! I made a reservation due to wanting to make sure there was a table to accommodate our stroller but for that day/time it probably wasn't needed. Our server was very sweet, attentive and personable and the decor was fun and unique. They also had outdoor seating available which seemed popular. No food specials for HH but we did take advantage of the 2 catira cocktails for $15 which were refreshing and perfect for a summer evening. I'm a one cocktail kinda gal these days so my second bevvie was passionfruit juice and oh man... delicious. My husband had the el jefe (think old fashioned with rum) which was also quite good. The food really shines here and I'm obsessed. We started with the tequeños and cachapa and were not disappointed. Our party ordered a number of different arepas and empanadas and I heard only good feedback, though if you're hungry and thinking you'll eat 3+, it won't be a cheap meal. Personally I had the clásica arepa with guasacaca (I'm a sucker for plantains) which seemed to be the overall winner and caribeña empanada with cilantro garlic. Everything came out quickly and was hot n' fresh. I have only one complaint about my experience and it's that there were no changing tables in either bathroom. Luckily our little one didn't need to be changed, but I'm not sure what we would've done if there was a need. I feel like this would be a low cost improvement that would make parents exceedingly happy. I'd love to come back, but this will make me hesitate a little given the inconvenience.

    My first time eating Venezuelan. A bunch of their dishes resemble Mexican with a different twist. The restaurant has nice inviting decor. Our server Kenna was super nice and attentive. We ordered the táquenos which tasted like cheese sticks with a different outer texture. We also ordered the chicken arepa which tasted like a Gordita. It was very tasty. Lastly we got the Quesillo for dessert which was like flan. I also got a mango margarita which was pretty strong. Very good food for the price.

    My husband and I were craving Venezuelan food--specifically tequeños and cachapas--so we found a spot about 25 minutes from our house and decided to give it a try. Safe to say, it was an amazing decision. This place is the real deal . I love how they make Venezuelan food feel approachable and shareable. We ordered tequeños, empanadas (the chicken was our favorite), a cachapa, and tostones--and everything was incredible. The tequeños were probably the highlight for me: perfectly crispy with light, fluffy cheese that was bursting with flavor. I'm already planning to go back to try the salads and cocktails. The owners are kind and hardworking, the food is phenomenal, and the whole place gives off tropical beach vibes that instantly reminded me of everything I love about Venezuela.

    I was beyond excited hearing Catira- a Venezuelan restaurant- was coming to the Texh Center. Decor is bright and vivid, music is Bad Bunny, and food is AMAZING!!!! We got tequenos (fried cheese in breading), a blonde arepa (chicken and Gouda cheese) and the corn/cheese pancake. All was sooooo tasty! There's a patio too. This will definitely be a spot to visit in the summer months.

    Wow what an experience! Catira is locations in a busy Greenwood Village shopping center area that has and mainly restaurants and Comedy works. We were greeted and ordered or drinks - I got a Mamacita. It was so good I ordered another about halfway through our meal. I have never been to a Venezuelan restaurant before so I was very unfamiliar with the menu. The waitresses we had were fantastic! They continuously checked in our table and when they weren't the owner, Manuel did. We got: Cachapa to share which was unique, flavorful and downright delish! I got a Blondie empanada and a Clasica empanada both were impressive. They were larger then I expected so I am glad I only order two. My friend got an arepas and she too was impressed with the size and fullness. She tho if it was very good. We didn't feel rushed but rather well attended to. We hadn't seen each other in months so we wanted to sit and chat after our meal. Manuel came over and checked on us and chatted with us. He explained the story behind the restaurant concept and the wall of photos in the hallway to the bathroom (which are of his Venezuelan family). He was a delight to chat with. We needed up being there for over 2 hours. A truly wonderful concept, experience, and perfect location. I can't wait to go back and try a few more dishes that caught my eye!

    Catira is an absolutely gorgeous restaurant with a really nice outdoor seating area. They have something for all food allergies and preferences with fantastic menu labeling. The patacones are perfectly fried and flattened plantains that make the best vessel for all of the sauce options at Catira. I adore the Americana empanada that features impossible meat and makes an incredibly satisfying gluten free vegetarian meal. I recommend ordering the mini empanadas so you can try them all! And don't skip out on the sauces!

    There's a brand new Venezuelan restaurant in Greenwood Village and I was lucky enough to check it out during their opening week! Catira does a fantastic job of bringing Caribbean flavors to the forefront in a welcoming and familiar atmosphere. I got to try a mix of dishes I'd never had before along with a few favorites, and it was fun to compare how they were done here. Let's dig in! What I tried: Taqueños - Venezuelan cheese sticks wrapped in golden dough Mini Empanadas: * Blondie: shredded chicken, Gouda cheese * Clásica: shredded beef, white cheese, sweet plantains, black beans * Caribeña: pulled mahi mahi * Americana: impossible ground beef * Quesuda: white cheese Cachapa - sweet corn pancake folded over thick salty cheese and topped with butter Clásica Arepa - grilled cornmeal pocket stuffed with shredded beef, white cheese, sweet plantains, black beans La Palma Salad - mixed greens, black beans, roasted corn, hearts of palm, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, passion fruit dressing House sauces: guasacaca, cilantro garlic, chipotle honey, chimichurri Nutella Taqueños Tio Kiko cocktail - Diplomatico Planas Rum, Chinola Mango Liqueur, lime juice, ginger beer, mint Best bites: I really enjoyed the taqueños , both classic and Nutella (obviously). The Caribeña empanada was packed with flavor as I haven't had pulled mahi mahi ever but the cachapa completely stole the show. I can't believe I've never had this dish before! That sweet corn pancake with the salty cheese was such a dreamy combo, and when you add that guasacaca sauce? Immediate yes. Such a great addition to Greenwood Village & can't wait to go back soon!

    Veneka arepa, mini empanadas
    Laurie C.

    WOW!! Been anticipating this place for a while and it exceeded all expectations. We walked in around1:30 on a Saturday and while we had no wait to be seated, the place was basically otherwise full. The decor was impeccable and chic and the seating was comfortable. We both ordered the Catira cocktail which was perfectly balanced balanced between all the flavors. Highly recommend. We ordered 5 mini empanadas which had an ideal filling to dough ratio, which can be hard to achieve in a mini version. We got one of each flavor. My husbands favorites were the caribeña , clásica, quesuda. I really enjoyed them all equally. I was extra impressed with the impossible meat one (Americana). We ordered a side of guasacaca. It had a really fresh flavor and I could taste what I think were bell peppers? It was similar to guacamole. We also tried the Veneka arepa which was stacked with a ton of chicken salad filling inside a crispy, buttery arepa. Honestly can't wait to go back and try more food and drinks!! We were too full for dessert.

    Tequeños, sweet plantains, empanadas, tostones and cachapa. (Left to right)
    Maria B.

    I loved everything about this place. I should know because I'm Venezuelan. We had tequeños, little empanadas (blondie, beef/clasico, Americana), cachapa, tostones and a side of sweet plantains. I must admit my favorites were the tequeños, sweet plantains (added garlic sauce on the side) and the clasico empanada. We finished with Nutella tequeños that are incredible! The restaurant has a great vibe, love the decor! and Devon, our server, was the best! very personable sharing our enthusiasm for the food. We also talked to another young woman who shared the story behind the restaurant. It made me tear up... but I'm not going to spoil it for you, so you can come and hear it while you're here. This is a restaurant I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to! To the owners: Que Rico!!! Gracias!!! El restaurante está súper chévere!!! Todo estaba delicioso!!! Esta cena me trajo tantos lindos recuerdos!!!

    We had reservations and we were seated promptly and offered the menu and drinks. We were explained in details everything the service was excellent and the ambience is excellent! And very rhythmic we enjoyed every moment we spent there the waiters and waitresses or very attentive to our needs. You love this Venezuela restaurant. It is a great experience without having to be in Venezuela

I absolutely love arepas and the second I saw this place in the Avanti food court I knew I had to get it because I've been craving good Venezuelan arepas rellenas for so long. I'm vegetarian which they had multiple options for and I decided on the 'La Original' arepa with black beans, plantains, and avocado, and I requested for cheese on it as well which they added free of charge. The arepa was everything I could've ever wanted and it didn't fall apart while eating it even though it was super full which was good because that does happen often with poorly made arepas. I also got the sweet fried plantains which had cheese and their special sauce and were so so good. The employees were kind and attentive and the food came out in about 5 minutes because there was pretty much no line. I loved this place and wish I lived in Boulder so I could get it more often. Si te hace falta una buena arepa venezolana, te juro que este lugar no te decepcionará, ni en su calidad, servicio al cliente, ni su autenticidad. Lo recomiendo con todo mi corazón y te juro que saldrás lleno y contento.
