You all know I love to support local -- but I'll also be honest when something feels off. This…read moremight've been one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had in El Paso. Hungry and in a hurry: I had just picked up my car from Casa Nissan and wanted something quick before heading out of town. I spotted this Venezuelan place nearby and thought I'd give it a try. The restaurant was completely empty when I walked in. Music was blasting so loud that it was hard to talk. Uncomfortable start: A woman came out from the kitchen who barely spoke English. She looked at me like she didn't really want to be there -- or want me there. It was awkward from the start. Confusing menu: She handed me a single-page menu and I ordered Tequeños (5 for $10) and one Tequeyoyo. She held up three fingers so I thought, okay -- three must come in an order like the Tequeños. Another customer came in after me -- she spoke Spanish -- and suddenly she was handed a multi-page menu with more items and prices I'd never seen. That's when I realized I hadn't been given the full menu. Food quality: When my food arrived, it was a lot -- way more than expected -- and honestly it tasted like something frozen and reheated . Billing mess: When I went to pay, she charged me for three separate Tequeyoyos instead of one. I showed her the price on my menu ($4 each), but she insisted I owed for three. Then another woman came out and showed me that "other" menu again with different prices. The Spanish-speaking customer got full service and a friendly tone -- I got attitude and confusion. I can't lie... it didn't feel fair. How it ended: They finally agreed to honor the original price, but I still paid the difference as a tip because I felt bad about the misunderstanding -- even though it wasn't my fault. They didn't thank me or even acknowledge it. Final thoughts: The whole experience left me feeling gaslighted and discriminated against for not speaking Spanish. I walked out embarrassed, frustrated, and hungry for something better. I love supporting local restaurants -- but respect and clear communication matter just as much as flavor. Hopefully they improve, because no one should feel unwelcome when all they wanted was a quick bite.

I ordered an agua de piña, arepa and an empanada, I'm not from EP and have been trying to find good…read morerestaurants and stumbled upon this one, I ordered delivery. Sadly I think the order got to me super late after they made it so everything was ice cold :( but trying the food : The arepa had no flavor like it tasted like boiled chicken and mashed avocado with no seasoning or salt nothing it was very bland and to top it off I find a sticker inside the arepa I had high hopes, their empanada wasn't so bad sadly I got the wrong one and their agua de piña was good

Venezuelans have been in El Paso news lately, but why not their food? It's delicious! We have a new…read moreplace in the Lower Valley and I finally got to try it out. I went by myself as I had some time, but next time I'll bring a Spanish speaker since Google translate kinda sucks. I don't know much about Venezuelan food but I saw a lot of migrants there so it seemed legit, it was all single males though so a bit unnerving, but hey if you're single, ladies, they're here. Anyhow, back to the food, the breakfast plate was alright, it wasn't anything to write home about, as it came with some white cheese, an arepa, black beans, overcooked eggs and mayo. It reminded me of the meals I had in Costa Rica, hearty, filling, and no spices whatsoever. I couldn't finish it. It was also expensive at $14. The coffee it came with was so delicious though, it almost made up for the whole plate. Similar to the Costa Rican Chorreador style brew, Guayoyo is a coffee sock brewing method. Not sure if they did that here, but the result is a deeply sweet flavor with notably balanced acidity and fruity undertones. It tasted like they added condensed milk and the foam on top was so decadent. I'll go back just for the coffee. Fortunately they have something else that's ridiculously good. Tequeños, or Venezuelan cheese sticks, makes mozzarella sticks seem like children's food. It's basically fried cheese with pastry dough, but the queso Blanco is perfectly salty, the pastry oh so light and buttery and flaky. It's $9 for 6 and worth it. Don't even get me started on the dipping sauce, Guasacaca or avocado salsa, it's a brighter, tangier version of guacamole. This one tasted amazing paired with the Tequeños. I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu, it's definitely exciting to see different cuisines offered in El Paso!
