This was my first time at this place. And OMG, I am so happy. The food was amazing, the drinks were just as good, and the lady that was serving us was just a wonderful person.
I will definitely be coming back to this place.

The best empanadas ever. Me and my girlfriend share the sampler empanadas and get a side of rice and beans, never had a bad experience.

Big fan of their arepas - high quality and great value for the amount of meat, but would prefer more of the tasty sauce. Also got the plantains, which were also tasty but not a great value in my opinion. Looking forward to trying most everything on the menu!

Delicious arepas and empanadas. A very clean and cozy restaurant. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The frescolitas were ice cold. Delicious sauces and rice cooked perfectly.

Lovely lady and service. Huge empanadas, delicious passion fruit juice, good arepa. My only gripe were the Tequeños. They were not Tequeños, but cheese sticks.

Love this place, great food and service, ever miss when we visit. I miss the super friendly women that had served us for years, but the food is still so yummy! Also, my son loves being able to buy Venezuelan Soda and Candy that he misses here in the states. Love the arepas, plantains, yucca, fried style empanadas, and my dad loves that they have a vegetarian options.

I love this spot! Went on a girls date with Peanut (a dog I hang out with lol) here and we had such a wholesome time. Service is amazing. Food is incredible. I like to get the Mini Empanaditas sampler appetizer. $20 for 12 empanaditas. These fill you up and are super nutritious! This lasts me a few days if I don’t share. The patio area is really nice to take the sun and people-watch while you eat.

6 stares would be more accurate. The food is a total hit for starters, I loved the traditional Venezuelan dinner plate , and the chicken salad empanada is incredible! Make sure to get the stuffed sopapilla for desert.
The team is the most kind and welcoming and it’s a cozy spot to eat outside and enjoy the energy passing by.
Will return often. Highly recommend:

I stopped by for lunch and ordered one empanada. Just one was satisfying and enough for me. I got the chicken salad with avocado empanada. It came with two sauces and both were good.
Small place. Had outside seating too and easy street parking.

Wow talk about bringing back childhood memories, these are the most authentic empanadas I have ever found in the United States, I lived 3 years in Judibana, Venezuela 🇻🇪 as a kid when I was young from 1979-1981 and attended Escuela Simon Bolivar. My dad was an engineer and worked for Flour at the Exxon Refinery, we used to go and buy a bunch of empanadas for $5 bolivars and then buy frescolitas which was there sodas. The people saying that this food is not authentic have obviously never eaten true authentic Venezuelan cuisine, I can say this place is a must try if you want real authentic empanadas and Venezuelan cuisine. This brought back great memories.
