Here, the "buns" of the arepas are dyed colored coded to go with the specific mix you order. Sifrina = bright magenta pink sandwich pocket. Pretty freaking sweet! Wanted to point out Venezuela has its own unique version of guacamole, affectionately called Guasacaca. El Rincon carries on this tradition, and I'm so glad I was able to experience it. I met the owner, one of the very few workers that spoke English, and he explained the make up of this tasty condiment - onion, cilantro, green pepper, salt, garlic, avocado, a little bit of olive oil, and vinegar. EXCELLENT atop my arepa! The entire sandwich melded perfectly, sweet, salty and savory in every bite. The owner gentleman did a great job checking in, the service was fast and efficient, and I never felt rushed. I was really digging the vibe of this eatery, as it seemed to be a true neighborhood spot. All the locals inside, none of the touristy appeal. I recommend if you like Venezuelan food to give this restaurant a try!

We are from Los Ángeles, CA and are used to having Latin food and spicy food readily available to us. This was the perfect ambiance as well as taste of home. We tried three tacos from the menu and they were all the perfect Mexican flavor with a hint of infusion. Sorry I didn't get any pictures but we quickly scarfed those suckers down. Then we had the arepitas dish which also had a great tasting selection of beef and chicken to stuff them with. Perfectly fresh food and the place is definitely inviting.

As a Venezuelan, I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, it didn't meet our…read moreexpectations. Everything was either great or terrible. A cachapa, some shredded beef, and black beans were all tasty. We were served some old rice and a coffee with milk that was, quite honestly, the worst coffee I've had in the last 2 years (no idea how one could make coffee that terrible). The fried arepas were also not great, as they hadn't been cooked throughout. All in all, there are better Venezuelan places in Barcelona.

First we asked for vermouth as we were told this was a traditional Spanish drink. He told us he didn't have any and when we opened the menu, it was right there. It wasn't very good so I wish we had skipped it. We ordered a burrata salad and it was good but when the seafood paella came it smelled so bad my daughter almost gagged. It was not edible. We both tried it and it tasted like it smelled...rotten seafood. It took forever to get our bill and we clearly did not like it but the two (very nice) older waiters just ignored the fact that we ate nothing. So, 50 Euros later we were still hungry and so disappointed. I normally don't leave bad reviews but I would hate someone else to have the same experience.

We did our usual things by ordering a bunch of arepas (meat or veggie filled pocket style sandwiches) and a couple of appetizers to share around the table. They also have three tableside sauces to choose from...cilantro based, chipotle based and a milder sauce as well. The sandwiches all came with generous portions of meat and it was fun to mix and match sauces to compliment the herbs and spices on the sandwich. The two appetizers were filled with cheese and some fresh avocado adding to the flavors of the meal. Priced right, good food and close to our residence for the week made for a great stop!

I have been at La República twice - once in 2013 and again today. If you are wondering if you…read moreshould go here? It's a definite YES! The restaurant is located in a quiet street close to Port Vell just off Passeig de Colom and easy to miss. Once you enter you are greeted by Latin music and a friendly waitress (which we have not encountered often unless it's the waiters trying to lure you into a restaurant on la rambla). The location is really nice and different with a colander or mini-BBQ functioning as lamp shades. Everything is nice and clean. They offer a variety of original Argentinian food like milanesas or empanadas. We had three different milanesas (La mano de Dios, La favorita de Leo and La Bombamera) which were all really good. We had some questions about the food beforehand and the waitress was really friendly and courteous and answered all of our questions. As drinks you can get a variety of international and Argentinian beers and cocktails. The mojitos get served in preserving jars which is pretty epic. If you come later at night the restaurant turns into a restoclub which is frequented by Argentinians. This means it should be pretty authentic (in my eyes) ;) Positive: + great food + good and very stylish mojitos + attentive and very friendly waitress + good music Negative: + nothing If you ask nicely you might even get the wifi password ;)
