This is a no brainer!!! You gotta stop in if you're anywhere remotely close or in the area!…read more This is tucked away between a major highway and a Costco shopping area. Very simple to get to and quite a decent amount of parking. I went on a Saturday Afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all, but it should be with how amazing the food is! Vibes were pretty dope. Lots of outdoor seating and some music playing. Ordered the Pernil Arepa, Chicken Rice Bowl, and Pulled Pork Rice Bowl. If you're afraid of flavor, this is not for you, because the flavors were amazing! And you can customize your bowls with add one to your liking such as roasted corn, avocado, cheese, plantains and more! Loved it and will definitely make it part of my itinerary whenever I'm in the area.

The last time we had arepas was during a Mexico vacation a million years ago. They were delicious…read more When my love shared the Yelp link for Que Rica's and said, "Shall I bring home dinner from here?", my response was, "Does Pinocchio have wooden balls?!?" -- Yuca Fries - perfectly fried and seasoned -- Esquite - street corn in a cup. What? Are you kidding me? So good but RICH. Your cholesterol will soar -- Westmont Arepa - shredded beef and fried cheese. Delicious! -- Black Betty Arepa - house-made black bean burger and plantains. Yes, please! -- Empanada - we were too stuffed to try it but looking forward to lunch tomorrow This was the cure for what ailed us on a rainy Thursday evening. We opened a bottle of Cabernet and enjoyed every minute of our dinner. Good stuff!

I came here with a co-worker late at night and this place was still busy! After having one dish I…read morecan see why. The family operated restaurant has some great authentic dishes and the flavors are spot on. The staff is super friendly and they speak Spanish. I had the Shredded beef rice bowl with beans and sweat plantains. They asked me if I wanted cheese on my dish, but because I'm Puerto Rican and you never put cheese on Rice and Beans I said no thanks. But I will say that as a Latino this place took me home in a bowl. The beans were just like my wife makes, accept it's a different bean. The shredded beef had some much of that hispanic flavor I love so much. The beef was super tender and the plantains were fried to perfection. Now I know this is an Arepa bar and I should have had an Arepa but I am not a fan of Arepa's. It's a texture thing for me, but I love the items that go inside of them. As for my co-worker, He had two Arepas and a sugarcane lemonade drink and a cheese stick. He loved every bite! So Arepas are a must buy here along with a rice bowl like I had. Side note: you got to try their sauces! Their hot sauce is called Picante and is made with Habanero peppers. Look out for that one it's super hot! The garlic Sauce and the cilantro sauce taste great but the colors will confuse you. I bet when you see the sauces you'll guess the wrong color with the flavor. So to end this long review, I say yes you should stop by the place and have a meal. It's small and there is only one table so you might want to get your order to go.

I also think that the decor is gorgeous and the music is always amazing! The reality is that they don't go above and beyond and honestly no one's mad. Sometimes they forget a sauce that I know I got from a previous order or they give me guac that's too brown for my liking to eat. BUT I enjoy the food so much that none of those things are factors! Things are always fried to perfection, flavors are always hitting and I always love waking through those doors!

GEM IN WOODBRIDGE! Chamos's is a family run restaurant serving EXCELLENT Venezuelan food! I had…read morethe tequenos and Pabellon empanada as appetizers here. The tequenos were good, and were accompanied with dipping sauces. They are kinda like mozzarella sticks, but they are stuffed with a Venezuelan cheese. The Pabellon empanada was one of the best empanadas ever! It's stuffed with shredded beef, plantains, and beans. For dinners I had the Pabellon and the Asado Negro. Both are two staple dishes in Venezuela. Both were AMAZING! The Pabellon is just like ropa vieja. The meat was so tender, and it had a delicious flavor! It comes with plantains, beans, and rice that were all delicious! The Asado Negro is beef steak made in a sweet sauce which is also excellent! For desserts I had the tres leches and Venezuelan chicha drink. They were both so good! The Venezuelan chicha drink tastes like a cinnamon rice pudding. One dessert I'd like to try is their golfeados which is a cinnamon roll with papelon and topped with cheese. I heard they are great, but they sell out fast! In comparison to Merey which is another Venezuelan restaurant in Highland Park this one was far better! Here the portions are generous, and there though the food was good the portions were so small. They have outdoor seating here, but sometimes they keep their tables inside. You can ask them to put a table out for you. They will as they did that for me. I highly recommend Chamos's in Woodbridge!

Do not sleep on the cocktails! The Lessons In Alliteration will bring me back here, it is so well balanced and goes down a little too easy. The food was incredible. We started with the Tequeños and Patacón Salvaje (the best bite of the night for me!). Then came the Caribe Atómico (a little too salty) and Caribbean Surf & Turf Salpicón. For our entrees we tried the Duck Atollado (the rice in this dish was amazing and so flavorful) and the Pelao Guayanés. Everything was well prepared and so tasty. Dessert was the Vanilla Quesillo and Cacao+, would skip, dessert was our least favorite course.

What can I say... I had a lot of expectations as this place has been open for a while, but I was a…read morebit disappointed. We had to get an early reservation as they were fully booked at dinner time. The food was just okay: the appetizer with the plantain and fried calamari was okay, it lacked a little bit of dimension and was too acid forward (needed more salt to balance it). The main was the "olleta" which is a vegetarian meal; it wasn't exactly memorable. It has an incredible amount of olives and capers and not enough tofu/plaintain/mushrooms. It was also very acid forward and lacked layers/balance to the flavor. Lastly, we tried two desserts: the flan (I believe it was called quesillo) and the chocolate one. I LOVED the flan with the foam on top, and the chocolate one was towards the bitter side (which was pretty good) but I wouldn't get it again. The desserts were very overpriced for the size of it. The place is well maintained and I love the plants all around. I would like to give it another try as I like to support my fellow Latinos
