Customer Reviews

Delicious! Great service, food, ambiance. The place was full at 9 pm on a Sunday. Highly recommend. We tried the salchiqueso and the cheese on the hot dog was incredible. Also the double crispy burger (pictured) and replaced one of the two Chicken Milanese with meat, it was spectacular. The patty of fried cheese on the burger was a game changer.

I really love coming here. It's my favorite Venezuelan restaurant. Even though it's far from my place, it's worth it every time. The cachapa, the pizza pastelitos, the pepito, and the caraquena burger are my favorites.

First time at this place. the empanadas were the best i have ever had. Great mix of meat, black beans and fried banana. Also got a patacon and also very delicious with great tasting grilled chicken, grilled steak and ham among other items but those really stood out inside the fried banana. Definitely want to come back and try more of their menu
