Experience Through Their Eyes

Brand new place -- AMAZING! Incredibly delicious Venezuelan food. Cozy, casual restaurant with places to sit if you want to eat in but perfect for take out too. Loved every single thing we got and btw the burger is HUGE. So far it is just the one woman running the show. She's super friendly and does it all! They also are kid friendly and have a few books + Venezuelan candy bars

A cute, local business with excellent food! I went with my family, including kids (ages 2 and 4). There's a little book basket to help keep little ones entertained while you wait for your food. My husband and I both got arepas (reina pepiada & pabellon). My kids ate the chicken empanada and pizza pastelito. Every single bite of food was amazing!

Pretty tasty! Their arepas are definitely authentic. I tried the Pelua' arepa and I'm happy with my choice. So happy to have a new small business in the area. The service is super friendly too!

Happy to have a new small business in the neighborhood! The beef empanada, cheese pastellito, and sweet plantains were my favorite. Food cooked fresh to order and service was great, looking forward to coming back soon!

We decided to try something new and ended up at this restaurant. We ordered the "Reina Pepiada arepa" and the "Pelua arepa". Both were delicious and came with an amazing cilantro sauce. The owners are very kind. It's great to finally have good Latin food in the neighborhood. We will definitely be back.
