Stopped in at this cozy restaurant after watching roller derby at the nearby skating rink. This was a fantastic find + bonus find, if you or someone in your party needs gluten-free options. The head chef/owner is a registered dietitian, which is awesome and she takes care in food preparation, including having a separate fryer for those of us who are celiac and/or need the safety of gluten-free prep. The only food item that has gluten is the empanada, everything else is gluten-free. Do let them know if you have celiac and/or need the separate fryer. There were 3 in our dining party and we all ordered 3 drinks, 2 appetizers, and 3 entrees. Total with tip was $150 - the food was excellent and filling, I can’t wait to go back.

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.

If you want authentic South American delicious cuisine, this is the place! I had the Criolla soup with beef. It was savory, hearty and delicious! It warmed my soul. Everything is made fresh to order. In the past I had their yucca fries which are deliciously crunchy! The owner of the restaurant was enthusiastic and kindly welcoming!

Super tasty Venezuelan cuisine. Have seen the restaurant for some time and finally tried it. It doesn’t have seating area for big groups, just go with your partner or your friend… or maybe order for takeout. We tried the chicken mechada and the rice bowl, both were delicious. The chef heard us saying that we were thinking about yuca fries but we didn’t order them and he brought us 2 so we could try them. Next time I will order the yuca fries! 10/10 will come again.
