Order the salmon special.I've been a dozen times & it's always been on there -I've never been disappointed. It's an amazing blend of flavors.The guava flatbread & the corn appetizer special are great

Argelys Oriach

Small and intimate , so it gets busy during prime dinner hours.Delicious fresh passionfruit juice and margaritas . The empanadas were authentic and tasted very good. Great value .

This casual Venezuelan restaurant serves old-family recipes that blend dishes indigenous to the Andes & Caribbean. Don’t leave without trying the torta fluida, a Venezuelan molten dark chocolate cake . Read more

I have yet to try a dish I don't like, everything is amazing. I'm a vegetarian and both my meat eating friends and I always leave with happily full bellies.

Enrico Manalo

Great empanadas , including the verde. I tried the arepa pernil too. Really good, really affordable (and filling) antojitos. Will return for entrees.

Amazing arepas , along with delicious casual Venezuelan food of all kinds. Get the sangria and try to sit on the patio .

The stuffed corn cakes known as arepas and the palmito salad (greens, hearts of palm, jicama, and bacon-wrapped dates) are musts. Read more

Great brunch . Unlike the Brookline Village location, the South End location doesn't have a full bar , but the food is always so good!

Their portions are slightly small but everything we tasted was delicious! I'd revisit in a heartbeat.

Every week is restaurant week! Appetizer, glass of wine/or beer and main entree for $30, every day! Delicious, flavorful authentic Venezuelan/Nuevo Latino cuisine, nothing compares!

Great drinks and service, but my beef tenderloin was VERY fatty and difficult to eat.

The garlic sauce that comes with many dishes is extremely addictive. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts

Patricia Sirera

Order Arepa Reina Pepiada !! to die for

Chandra Ghosal

The rib sandwich was unbelievable.

Nicholas

Fantastic Venezuelan food near home.

Sarah Cochran

Whatever the dish is with the steak , chicken and sausage -- get it.

Lin

Go for apps and wine ONLY. Entrees and dessert took a ridiculous amount of time to be served. Had to double check about both just to make sure we were not forgotten after the third bottle of wine !

Andreas Kanakis

They don't update their schedules online. Walked a mile to get there and it was close. Online schedules don't coincide with reality. Beware!!!

Angelica Young

The tostones are like crack

Nathan P.

Apps, salas, and arepas are good deals . Skip the entrees.

Elizabeth Otaola

This was the best of the restaurants that I visited while in town. My recommendation: open up the meal with either rellenos de papa or tostones. For your entrée go for the Trifongo. Then, tres leches. - M3t47 G34r

The restaurant is committed to using organic, all natural, locally raised & grown ingredients whenever possible. You can’t go wrong with a chocolate-dipped macaroon or a strawberries & cream cupcake. - BU Today
