    Ceviche
    Stephon M.

    Overall i would definitely go back and try even more items on the menu! Ambiance was fine. Service was awkward and a bit on the slower side so 4/5 Beer flight was nice touch but a bit on the warm side Scallops(5/5) Steak(5/5) Ceviche (5/5) Tacos (3/5) fish was amazing but shells were dry Wings (3/5) cooked well and juicy but missing flavor even though they looked very flavorful Pudding dessert (4/5) Plantain dessert (3/5)

    Chicken dish

    I was looking for a place in JP with gluten-free options and Vee Vee more than delivered. The inside seemed cozy but we went with a table in their "secret" patio, which is right around the corner and nicely decked out (I applaud restaurants' efforts to convert parking lots into feasible outdoor options at the height of the pandemic). Advise making reservations on the weekend and Thursday-Friday. The menu's pretty limited but that's not a ding in my book if the restaurant can ace the handful of dishes offered (better than a wide spread of mediocre options). I went with the chicken dish. Chicken breast, whenever I cook it at home, always turns into a dry, tough slab, so as it happens, that's usually a restaurant dish that catches my eye. This one was cooked beautifully, with a nice, crispy skin, and I loved the potato gnocchi as a side. Was it mind-blowing, though? I will say, for a chicken dish, the price tag of $31 was fancy steakhouse-level steep. Everyone's reeling from inflation these days but my wallet definitely felt a pinch. That said, the dish was cooked with attention and care. Our waiter made sure to offer suggestions and refill our water glasses. For parking, there's a municipal lot right behind the row of restaurants with lots of 2-hour spaces and free after 6pm.

    Had to come back to add an updated review for the new Black Cat menu at Vee Vee. Same great patio and service, even more amazing food! Everything we tried was delicious, but highlight was the red snapper curry

    Sirloin steak with crispy potatoes. So good!!

    Love Vee Vee! Such a great spot. Their new menu is super good. Flavors are unreal. The patio is such a nice vibe too. Highly recommend!

    Beef empanada
    Youyang Y.

    I recently came here after a menu revamp, for Black Cat @ Vee Vee. EXCELLENT meal. My friend and I split several dishes: red snapper crudo, wingz (with the red stripe and magnum bbq sauce), the fried rice, the beef empanada, and two tacos (al pastor and pollo). The tacos were pretty good (flavorful and lots of filling nestled in a double tortilla), but everything else was outstanding. I think our favorite might have been the fried rice, which is saying a lot coming from two Chinese girls. The bbq sauce on the wingz was addictive, and the crudo was fresh and just the right amount of heat from the pepper. The empanada was crisp and light on the inside with juicy beef on the inside and the two sauces it came with were perfect. We couldn't decide between two of the desserts so we got both. The soursop ice cream was so creamy and not too sweet, but the bruñuelo was (to me) the star of the meal. I thought it would be dense since I think it's made of plantains but it was sooooo airy and crispy and the sauce on top was *chefs kiss*. I am literally planning my next visit to try the other half of the menu, including more of their vegetarian options!

    I've been eyeing this place on my delivery app for a while and I finally ordered last night. The…read moremenu has so many tasty sounding dishes that it was hard to decide what to order, but I eventually decided on the ham and cheese sandwich, fried chicken and sweet plantains, beef/onions and rice with pigeon peas, and alcapurria. They offer different sizes for the meals so I chose small portions of each to try a few different options, but each helping was still quite large! The total for all of this food ended up being around $25 also so it was an amazing deal. The food itself was AMAZING: Ham and cheese sandwich - with lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo, this sounds basic but it was SO GOOD. The bread was pressed down and nice and toasty, and the proportions of the ingredients were just spot on. A really great and affordable hot sandwich! Fried chicken and sweet plantains - the chicken was a little older since I ordered at the end of the day, but there was still enough moisture in it that it wasn't dry. The batter was also really well seasoned with different herbs and spices - it had a really nice rounded flavor rather than just being salty. The plantains were also nice and caramelized - a perfect sweet bite! Beef/onions and rice with pigeon peas - The beef was a little bit dry but still full of flavor and felt like it had been cooking in the sauce for a while so it was pretty tender. The rice and pigeon peas were really really good though - I will likely choose this as my side moving forward. Not sure how to describe it but it was really flavored with spices but not overly powerful in any direction. Really delicious rice. Alcapurria - My favorite! I had these in Puerto Rico and this version was nicely crisped with a ton of flavored minced meat in the center. The texture was spot on and just so savory and memorable. I want to go back to try the chicharrons, the tres leches cake, the chicken stew, the empanadas, and so many more things on this menu. It's really a gold mine for dishes and so so so delicious!

Doesn't have that rough Spanish restaurant vibe you sometimes get in Chelsea or East Boston. Much more upscale. People like that. The servers were very nice. Helpful, attentive, really great. Now, the runner who brought the food didn't seem to be in the best mood. That's alright. It happens. Prices were decent. The menu offers a lot, from full Colombian appetizers to full meals. Even has a kids section. My son ordered chicken wings and French fries. The chicken wings were delicious, juicy, perfectly done. For appetizers we had fried cheese with pineapple sauce and fried plantain with shrimp in a criollo sauce. Delicious, really fantastic. My wife ordered the sancocho de res, and she totally enjoyed it. I ordered a mixed plate with white rice, beans, tostones, onions, peppers, beef, and shrimp. Absolutely incredible. The tres leches was also terrific. Very well done. But then a group of six rowdy individuals came in. Completely destroyed the nice, chill mood. Total disaster. They were animals, folks. Total animals. Loud, obnoxious, so bad that a table of people actually decided to move completely outside just to get away from them. That's how disruptive they were. At that point, an employee should have stepped in and said, "We're glad you're enjoying yourselves, but there are others here trying to enjoy their meals too." It was out of control. Overall, a strong 4.6 stars.

I got the pelua arepa to go with spicy beef and cheese, they also included some sauces on the side which was nice so it didn't get soggy on the way back.

Their menu is large and they have many arepas, I would like to try other kinds. Plus they have other venezuelan dishes too. This place is very inviting and everyone inside was friendly.
