    I used to enjoy the food here MANY years ago and recently had the opportunity to come back to give…read moretheir food another try. They have an online ordering system now that is very convenient and works well, and my food was ready on time without any mistakes. The interior is on the smaller side, but apart from that I can't comment much on the ambiance as I've never really dined in even in the past. I was pleasantly surprised to find my favorite items were still on the menu, and just as delicious as I remembered. My family and I ordered: - Pollo Patacon (Fried Plantain Sandwich w/ chicken): I'm a huge plantain lover. Ingredients are fresh, chicken is a smidge dry but flavorful, and messy to eat - Queso de Mano Cachapas (Sweet Corn Pancakes w/ Venezuelan cheese): mildly sweet and savory, and reminds me a little bit of Filipino bibingka - Carne Mechada Empanadas (Empanadas w/ shredded beef): great texture fresh and leftovers reheat well in the airfryer Can't believe it's taken me this long to make my way back here. This is a great small business that needs more appreciation.

    We have been going here for many years and the food is,consistently excellent. It's a small…read morestorefront shop with a few tables, counter service and a nice friendly ambiance. They also now have a very good online order facility for takeout. If you're not familiar with Venezuelan cusine, I highly recommend the sampler,that gives you a small portion of a number of their specialties and a lot of food for the price. They have some lovely vegetarian arepas for those do inclined. I love vegetarian food but the pork here is just too delicious to avoid.

    I was so happy to find the Venezuelan place inside the market. The ladies were so sweet and…read morewelcoming. We ordered 12 tequeños and 3 arepas: chicken, carne mechada, and carne molida. All 3 were fried perfectly and were delicious. The green sauce was also a perfect compliment. My favorite was the carne mechada one. The tequeños were also cooked perfectly and they were cheesy and delicious. My kids were really pleased with them. I would definitely come back here for my empanada fix and to try other items on their menu. I also ordered a cafe con leche and was so happy to see Cuban coladas on the menu. There is a lot of room to sit down and eat, but we chose to take ours to go due to COVID. I love to support Latino-owned businesses, and I would definitely recommend this place. We'll definitely be back.

I stopped in the other day for lunch while shopping and had an empanada, an arepa, and a passionfruit drink. The empanada was a Mechada, filled with shredded beef. It was deep fat fried and pretty greasy, with a hard shell. Now, I don't mind grease at all--that puddle at the bottom of the container is a sign of good things to come. I very much enjoyed my empanada, the beef was tender and flavorful and I love a crunchy shell. But some may be put off. For the arepa I chose the Venezuelan Queen. An arepa on its own is a corn pancake. These arepas are split and filled, making a sandwich, and it's kind of like eating a sandwich on an english muffin. The Venezuelan Queen is a chicken avocado salad arepa. It was generously filled with a smooth and tasty filling. Not super flavorful but just fine. Either of those items would make a good meal. I washed them down with the passionfruit drink, which was sweet and refreshing. I tried the sugar cane lemonade and don't recommend it unless you specifically know and like sugar cane drinks. Yelp needs a new category for restaurants. This is South American food, and I couldn't find a good category for it. We will see more of it as refugees from South American start businesses here.
