“Casual place with excellent Venezuelan-style food and a family atmosphere. I tried the arepas, scrambled eggs, empanadas de cazón, cachapas, and the papelon con limón. Everything was fresh and great tasting. I recommend this place 100%. Photo of the scrambled eggs with beans and arepas.”

“The empanadas are amazing!! I can never bring myself to try anything else on the menu because the empanadas are so delicious - I always get the chicken empanadas (with the delicious dipping sauce) and the Nutella ones for dessert.
