We ordered the mini empanadas (corn) and pastels (flour) with assorted chicken, cheese, and beef filling and all were delicious, my favorite being the beef empanada. They were perfectly fried and crispy and the beef was juicy and seasoned. I had the pabellon arepa which was a great portion, with juicy pulled pork, tasty black beans, plantains, and cheese. We also enjoyed the carne molida (ground beef) bowl, a chicken/sausage/steak platter, and the mixed protein sandwich which was enormous. The ground beef was a touch dry and the juice from the pulled pork made the bottom half of the arepa a bit soggy, but I didn't mind that. Overall everything was delicious and generously portioned! There is limited seating indoors but we were able to get a table at 5pm on a Saturday with no wait. The food took a little while (~20min) but it was well worth the wait! We will definitely return if we're in the area!!

I was never a big fan of arepas.

My friend and I came for a late lunch on Tuesday. There were plenty of seats available, and we were seated close to the entrance. The staff was friendly, and our server in particular was clearly passionate about Venezuelan cuisine and was excited for us try to their dishes. My friend ordered their pulled pork arepa, and I ordered one of their rice plates. The arepa was filled to the brim. It was full of beans, meat, and topped with cheese. My plate was absolutely delicious and its aroma filled the restaurant. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and saucy. The plantains were pan fried to perfection, tender and sweet. The beans were flavorful. I could have just that with rice all day. Writing this review is making my mouth water. Maybe I should return there soon!

Food is delicious, affordable, and good for a filling bite without breaking the bank. I believe they also make their cheese which is delicious and chewy. They also have sugarcane juice and passionfruit juice, and I personally liked the sugarcane one a lot, even though it's been already pressed and is sitting there.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the place has a nice vibe. If you're in a hurry, it's better to call or order online ahead of time and then just pick it up. Totally worth it though -- the empanadas are so yummy and freshly made!

Walking in you head to the lovely display of pastries and order over the counter. I do love their tables/booths. Makes you feel comfortable and elevated at the same time. For coffee, I ordered the cafe con leche which is made with powdered milk. I misheard and thought they said evaporated milk. Not my cup of Joe. Their drip on the other hand was good. For food, I ordered the cachapa. First time was with shredded chicken and it was not good. It was tough and a little bit cold. The second time around, I ordered it sans protein and it was lovely, flaky, and beautiful with the cheese and sauce me. The Pan Jamón, bread itself was a good texture but I felt the olive and raisins weren't in harmony with the piece. The pistachio croissant was a bit over the top. The croissant was nice and flaky but I had to take out the filling. Overall love the customer service, the decor. Still lots on the menu to try so willing to give it another chance!

It was busy but not crowded with people dining and working on their laptops. The fare is Venezuelan and ranges from guacamole toast to croissants. You can order at the counter or find a table and order via the QR code at your table on weekdays. On weekends theres more of a brunch crowd and they have wait service. I tried the ham and cheese croissant which was great but I really love the guacamole toast. Love this place and props for being open on weekdays at 7- not enough places in the area open early.
