Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Best place for authentic Venezuelan food! On Sundays they serve a delicious and cozy soup, it’s a hug on your belly! Love this place! Bonus: Coffee Lemonade is freaking awesome!
I don't remember which Arepa I had but it was: 1. VEGAN (I simply asked for them to withhold the cheeses) 2. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! 😋 I also tasted some of my friend's plantains (Platanos maduros) and they were cooked to perfection. I can be VERY picky about where I eat plantains but I'm definitely coming back to order my own. (Along with the coffee lemonade that I keep hearing about!) The restaurant was nice and clean inside, and we didn't wait long. Although, when we arrived, we were the only 3 customers so they weren't busy. The only reason I can't give 5 Stars is because everyone working just kind of stared at us when we walked in. No one said hello. And when I approached the counter to order, the guy at the register just looked at me until I spoke. It wasn't necessarily rude. Just ... Extremely Awkward. Maybe they were having an off day. I'm going to give them another try though!

I am so glad we found this spot. Everything we ordered was seasoned to perfection and tasted truly authentic. The sauces are the absolute standout—I could put them on everything! Unlike the overpriced chains nearby, the prices here are fair and the quality is much higher. Highly recommend if you actually care about flavor.
