Absolutely wonderful food, served piping hot. There was so much to choose from menu-wise and now I will have to return to try some of the other dishes they offer. We love Birria tacos, and while they were cooked to perfection, the sauce that came with it was a bit bland. There were no fountain drinks, the soda ordered came in a bottle with a glass of ice, which is fine but that means there are no refills. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, the food really good. Will definitely return.

I had seen this place around plenty of times but it never really registered on my radar until recently, when a friend had mentioned what a great meal they had had there, and I decided to try it. Damn I should have tried it wayyyyyy before now. This place is fantastic. The food is hands down EXCELLENT - the tortas, the empanadas, the fried quesadillas, the tacos, the chilaquiles. Everything we had have ordered there is just awesome. One standout for me is the chorizo; not sure how they are making it there, but it is the best chorizo I have had in my life! The decor of the place is unassuming but authentic and cool. The food comes out quickly and the staff has always been helpful and laid back. On the whole, definitely work these guys into your restaurant rotation. They are now a solid part of mine!

Got a vegetarian bowl with rice, beans, plantains, lettuce, and avocado slices accompanied by 2 small arepas. The arepas and empanadas seemed to be made from the same dough and it's a good thing because it is extremely mouth-watering - yum! Kudos to the owner.

The pulled pork filling was juicy and barbecue-flavored which I enjoyed. I always love anything plantain, but do wish there was a little more! I think that some flavors are just more filled than others. We were surprised that the empanadas were deep fried! I've only ever had the smaller kind of empanadas with thicker, bread-like outsides but these were thin and crispy. The man working told us it is because they use cornmeal instead of wheat, so they're gluten-free. I loved the light crispiness! They came with some kind of garlic aioli on the side--delicious! Each empanada is also stamped with a number that correlates to filling label on your receipt and I love that extra helpful detail. There is some seating both inside and outside.

!!! NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT ALERT!!!…read more Wow. This is legitimately the closest I have been to tearing up at a meal. My husband discovered this place when he was perusing on Google Maps looking for something else. This was the happiest accident and I could not be happier we visited. I am from Venezuela and this is place is legit. They have foods that other Venezuelan places in the area don't offer, and varieties that are authentic and far better (the empanadas!!). I got the mandocas (plantain and corn horseshoe-shaped fritters), cheese and potato pastelito (like a cross between a pizza pocket and a pierogi, but better in every way), arepa pabellon, and a beef empanada. Everything was sublime. These empanadas are different than ones you may be used to, since they are corn based instead of wheat based, making them many levels better than you can imagine. It was very nostalgic experience. Even without the nostalgia, the food is that good, and so worthwhile heading over here. There's so much more on the menu I wanted to try. Guess I'll have to come back! The staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere inside was joyful, with beautiful murals. Highly, highly, highly recommend!
