I ordered a bean and cheese pupusa as well as yuca with chicharron. It was filling and hit the spot before my flight home. The yuca was crispy, which I love, with crispy chicharron. I love a good crunch. The pupusa with the pickled Slaw (I don't know the proper name.) was a great traditional pairing. I want to go back when I come back to Houston.

They had 2 hand sanitizer bottles out, but no soap. It is a small issue, but an easy fix. I ordered the Small Bandeja Paisa. It turned out to be a very popular item, because I saw 3 other people order it after I arrived. It is a great, simple meal, with quality ingredients. The only thing I regret is not telling them how to prepare the egg. My egg came out well done, but I prefer over-easy. I especially enjoyed the unexpected complimentary appetizer of a cup of stewed lentils. I will be back! :-)

The food here is mediocre and portions are on the smaller side. The real issue and reason for this review are the prices. If you visit the restaurant, plan on spending about $25 per persons.

In the…read morelast couple of years since moving from NYI, I haven't found many legit Venezuelan options until recently here at Sabor Venezolano. I'm pleased to report that the food lives up to the name and most everything was quite sabroso and very Venezuelan. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside, but seating is really limited to solo diners and small groups. There are counter seats toward the back and small cafe tables in the front. There are some refrigerated items for grab and go while ordering is done at the counter. I'd recommend calling ahead of time for faster pickup. If you're able to order in Spanish, do it. The food gets a thumbs up. Much of the menu is Venezuelan specific which includes cachapas, arepas, tumbarachos, patacondes, and tequeños. While they have a "menú Mexicano" that features quesadillas, tacos, burritos, and tortas, I'd avoid it if at all possible. The arepas might appear to be smaller, but they're packed. I personally loved their jamón y queso guayanés, in which the latter is a thick slab of gooey cheese. A similar arepa is their mechada y queso guayanés, which is equally tasty and I appreciate that they have cazón (#1) as an option. The pelua (beef + cheese) and reina (shredded chicken with avocado) will be my perpetual favorites and the cachapas with tequeños are also particularly hearty. The food is a bit pricier than most Venezuelan fare I've had previously, foodflation never surprises me anymore. Given how often I'm in the neighborhood, I already know that I'll be here more often than not. __________ (#1) Nothing like a little shark to get your day started.
