I recently visited this restaurant for the first time. When we walked in, we were seated quickly,…read morewhich was a great start. There was also a DJ playing and the music was really good, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind is that they do not have a parking lot, so street parking is the only option. The prices are also on the higher side, but I was still open to seeing if the experience would be worth it. We ordered the picadera Dominicana and the waiter asked if we wanted guacamole. At no point did she mention that it would be an extra charge, so we said yes assuming it was part of the dish. We also ordered a passion fruit sangria pitcher, which was delicious and a good size for sharing. The picadera itself was good and we enjoyed the flavors. Unfortunately, the experience changed when the bill came. Since we were splitting the bill, they charged the appetizer as two separate portions, which ended up costing more. On top of that, we were charged $13 for a very small cup of guacamole, which they labeled on the receipt as "decorative guac" (it was presented as a Dominican flag in the middle). For just an appetizer and a pitcher of sangria, our total came out to $70. What really left a bad impression was when the server brought the bill back and pointed out where the tip section was, as if we didn't know how to read or weren't planning to tip. That felt unnecessary and a bit rude. It's unfortunate because the food and atmosphere had potential, and I likely would have given this place a much better rating if the lack of transparency about the guacamole charge and the comment about the tip hadn't happened.

However, I got the encoca'o mixto de pescado camarón y calamar, and boy was I impressed! That coconut, little bit of peanut, and plantain sauce was bomb, portions are huge, and the tostones were cooked perfectly, right amount of softness/crunchiness. As a little appetizer, I got the cheese empanadas, and they were great, love the shell made from plantain and the Ecuadorian cheese inside, not your typically queso frito, but the one that's a little saltier. I've been here when it was Cena's, and who ever took over and made it Garcia's is doing a better job. Kudos to the new owners and/or management. They are a lot more attentive than before.

Well, now. Finding truly authentic Venezuelan cuisine wasn't on my 2026 bingo card (as the cool…read morekids say), but I'm definitely stamping this square. Dios mio, what a meal! There was not a bad bite to be had. We might've cut the roofs of our mouths with the crisped-to-perfection Patacón, but I don't care--I think all sandwiches should be encased in fried plantain instead of bread. And the succulent pernil filling? Dios mio otra vez! Though, tbf, when is pernil ever a bad choice? Then there was the stuffed-to-the-brim Cachapa filled with carne mechada and Venezuelan cheese. It was enormous. Like, Jesus pulling from the neverending fish basket enormous. It never ended. We had to take it home. But before we did, I practically ate all of the arepa, which was the sweetest, bursting-with-corn-flavor arepa I've ever had outside of South America. It was so good, I practically cried with every bite. Tears of corny joy, mind you. We got an entree of grilled fish (Filete de Pescado a la Plancha), which came with a complimentary side--in our case, arroz amarillo cuz I gotta have my grains. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside, meltingly tender on the inside. As with everything else, it was also way bigger than it had any right to be. Finally, we ended with what we THOUGHT would be a small item--the Arepa Arcoiris Llanero--but we were mistaken. It was stuffed so full of fresh avocado, shredded chicken, and various veggies that it had to be further encased in a paper wrapper for fear of the arepa wrap giving up on its job. We didn't make it more than a few bites before having to regretfully pack it home, but those few bites were chef's kiss. Venezuela has long been on my bucket list (who doesn't want to see Mount Roraima or Angel Falls?), but until I can get there, I'll be more than happy to "settle" for coming to this beautifully modern paradise of culinary delights. Throw in the huge portions and unbelievably low prices, and it's kind of a no-brainer to make the trip.

The octopus and seafood paella were the standout of the night--perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The sangria was also refreshing and paired well with the meal. It was nice that they gave out a shot of drink on the house at the end. Overall, it was a great dining experience with good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Here's how: They're yellow rice is so flavorful. I love their rice. Their encebollado mixto was rich in flavor, soft and easy to chew. The guatita in the Bandera was just made and was silky smooth. The sauce in that dish was mmm and the tripe soft and moist. I try to almost always get seco de chivo when I see it on a menu and that's what I did here but unfortunately it was dry. I get it chivo is tricky to make. Maybe it was made earlier in the day but I'm used to the dish being like a stew. But the seco de chivo wasn't bad! The quaker was the best way to end the meals. The tarrin serves about three 8 oz cups. When I went yesterday they only accepted cash and I don't know how long that'll happen for but bring cash! I paid about $43 for 3 meals and a quart drink. Parking can be tough so you should probably call ahead and pick up your order. There are parking meters which is 30 minutes for a quarter. I am definitely coming back. But wouldn't order the seco de chivo unless I'm craving it.
