This is an East Valley diamond in the rough and the owner/chef, la mejor Venezolana, is solid gold. In a seemingly endless market of ‘meh’ taco shops, legit Venezuelan food is something you must try. Eat there, experience culinary bliss.
Btw - another reviewer criticized that the menu wasn’t approachable for white Americans, so I’ve uploaded some gringo friendly menus courtesy of ChatGPT.

Incredible food & service! Stumbled across this local Venezuelan restaurant and was not disappointed! 🙌 This sampler platter was enough for 4-6 people and was made fresh to order so everything came out hot and delicious. Highly recommend!

I Went to look for a Cuban sandwich; Google sent me here, and they don't do Cuban! So much for the search. It's Venezuela, baby! So I ordered a Venezuelan sandwich, and I'm looking forward to getting it home. Something different; the place is strip mall quaint. Love it! I'm gonna open this at home and see what it looks like.

Great unassuming Venezuelan restaurant on Ray Rd. My family and I got cachapas, tequen~os, pastelitos and arepas. They were delicious and plentiful. The staff was courteous and helpful. A good place for Venezuelan food, recommended. Definitively going back in the near future.

The dish I ordered was delicious. This is my first time eating Venezuelan food. My girl is from Venezuela so I wanted to try Venezuelan dishes. I highly recommend this place.
I loved the spacing between tables, reminded me of New jersey. The food was good and the appetizers delicious. The rice was a tad bit undercooked, but that was it, everything else was great.

Great food. Can't tell you what we ordered, but all had great flavor profiles. Will be back to try more. Great shout out to the lovely lady who helped us!

First time trying Venezuelan cuisine and it was beautiful. The lady at the front I believe owns the place and shes super warm and welcoming. I wasn’t sure what to order and she was super helpful. The food was out of this world, I ordered “pabellon” which is shredded meat with rice and beans. It comes with plantains as well. Must try if in the area!
