¡Delicioso! I had two arepas Reina Pepiada and yuca frita. So good, very affordable, and super filling. I couldn't finish it all!

First time here
Friendly staff and great local gem
Seems I’m not a fan of Arepas but overall they seemed good
Trio of empanadas loved the one with the meat best
Lamb chops were delicious
And ribs were absolutely the best
Delicious red wine

Orinoco, located in the charming South End of Boston, captures the essence of Latin American cuisine in a small, cozy setting. We arrived towards the end of the night, so we were unable to order the coveted arepas, the stars of the show. Nevertheless, the restaurant exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere, luring us in with its good vibes.
For our appetizers, we ventured into the realm of Pepito Costillitas, tender and boneless baby-back ribs. Each succulent bite transported us to a heaven - 5 out of 5 on the flavor scale. The Tequeños, delicate parcels of Guayanes cheese nestled within a crisp fried pastry dough, were delicious - 4 out of 5.
Moving on to the mains, I embarked on a culinary adventure with the Lamb Chops, which was so succulent and seasoned to perfection. It was definitely the showstopper of our meal. 5 out of 5.
The service provided by our waiter was exceptional. He made us feel welcomed and promptly accommodated our request to relocate from an outdoor table to the cozy interior.
Although we missed out on the renowned arepas, we couldn't have been happier with our dining experience.

Very tasty food in a fun setting. Tables are tight but that's the norm locally. Fun night at a very reasonable price. $66 for 2 eating tapas styy until we got full and included a couple glasses of sangria. Can beat that.

Food was incredible.
Service was fast.
All good was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Drinks were on point and our server was so kind and hospitable. Bonus- gluten free!
Best meal I have had in a long time and a must stop if I’m the area or staying at the Collonade Boston!

Terrific neighborhood restaurant with a tasty, different menu of delicious small plates. The arepas, BBQ ribs and sangria 🍷 were outstanding!

Excellent service! Really tasty and very good portions of the dishes! Very friendly and cozy. A good place to visit with friends or just to have a nice dinner.

Absolutely fantastic. I'll be honest that I don't remember names for our dishes, but they were all delicious. The pork ribs were tender. My combination meat sampler with steak, sausage, and chicken was delicious. We also ordered the sangria. It was one of the best I've had. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful evening. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Love the food here! Everything we ordered was delicious. The creamed quinoa was my least favorite of all we ordered, but it was still very good. They only have two deserts on the menu, but they are both excellent. The molten fudge cake is probably the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place.

Great little Venezuelan place!
Atmosphere - very nice - couple of cozy booths, couple of tables inside and outside.
Service - friendly and quick. We had to change tables cause outside was too cold and they were quick to accommodate.
Food - very very good! Very generous portions for mains; appetizers were delicious! Fried plantain with cheese inside - simply amazing, and bacon wrapped almond filled date - seems like the best chaise for a drink.
Definitely a place worth checking out!
Note - no reservations possible. First come first serve.
