As a Venezuelan I approve! They have all my nostalgic foods and it had been a while since I had a real Venezuelan burguer. It has everything! Tequeños are always a must to have. The Patacon was good too and they have Polar (Venezuelan beer) great place by the water.

Very lovely Venezuelan place on a quiet street. The owner was very happy to speak to us in Spanish and serve us delicious arepas and empanadas. Their empanadas were some of the best I’ve had (it comes with one cheese, one chicken, and one beef). We would definitely come back!
