Nice little place to get lunch if you're into arepas, empanadas, and other similar food items…read more Staff are polite but not always friendly. I've gone twice and first time they were meh, second time they were a just bit friendlier. First time I went, I ordered a parchita, arepa pabellon, a mariscos Venezuelan empanada, and a chicken Colombian empanada. The pabellon, chicken empanada, and the parchita were delicious. The mariscos one was just alright in my opinion. The parchita was rather expensive unfortunately and they said it'd be frozen, but wasn't at all, so won't be ordering that again. This second time I ordered one of each Colombian empanada and a reina paisada arepa. The chicken and beef empanadas were fantastic, the cheese one was just alright and oddly liquidy. The reina paisada was disappointing because it tasted like canned chicken.

Let's start with the cachapa, melty, decently flavored chicken and the cachapa itself could be a little sweeter. But my reason for the lack of stars is going more towards the Mr. Baker side. The media noche was not all that. The pork was the driest and most flavorless part and isn't that supposed to be the star of the show?! Ham was just sliced deli ham but i must say the saving grace was that i put croquetas in it and their Ham corqueta was pretty darn good.

We ended up ordering for pickup up because it was a rainy morning and with kids it's just sometimes easier to stay in. We ordered the breakfast combo that comes with black beans, shredded beef, chicken, and pork. Arepa, cheese, and scrambled eggs. Everything tasted good! The portions were rather big, and everything came packed individually, which makes it very convenient to store in the fridge if you don't finish it. I do have to say that the arepas were not as good as mine lol. A bit hard maybe amd the empanada dough is a bit sweet so my husband who wanted empanadas, couldn't eat them because he can't take sugar. They were very nice over the phone and during pickup time!

The food was really good too. The carne mechada was flavorful and tender, and the arepas tasted fresh and perfectly made... simple but done right. My favorite part though is that they have a kids' playground area. It makes the whole meal so much more enjoyable because the kids stay entertained while the adults can actually relax and eat in peace. If you have a family, you'll appreciate this immediately. Overall, great portions, tasty food, and a very family-friendly atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

The ambience feels bold and modern with some Venezuelan/Colombia flare. Highly recommend to anyone to check them out!
