Venezuelan Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

“Very friendly with excellent service 💯💯“

“Best empanadas and pet friendly“

“Food was great. Enjoyed everything
Service was great. The cashier was very welcoming and friendly.

Atmosphere is not very friendly. Other customers are kind annoyed if you’re not Venezuelan. I came to eat for lunch. Wanted to try something new. The other customers eating at the table beside me were giving fuchi face. Like why are you here.

They chatted up a storm with the lady behind the counter. That lady was nice. But the customers eating there were not friendly to other nationalities.

Hoping this was just a random 1 time thing. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and I’ll try them again another time.

But for my first time here I didn’t feel welcome.“

“I wanted to write a review of the arepa I had!It appears to be that there is no set location for this food vendor, but their business is registered at the Monrovia City Hall because they sell at the Farmer's Market on Friday evenings.Firstly, really delicious!My arepa had shredded beef, with panela cheese, mixed veggies, and maduros (fried banana).Soooo good!Real authentic arepa.The shredded beef was seasoned perfectly, warm and juicy, but not overwhelming nor drenching. The panela had a good al dente rubber feeling to it, which was not hard and not too soft. Alongside the fresh spinach and lettuce and warm starchy fried banana slices. Everything within a warm maize dough bread.It's all sooo good!5/5“

“I don't understand why lately among Venezuelans we throw each other around! I don't see any other reason for the bad reviews, it's a real shame because I've been there twice and I love the empanadas. Even my husband, who is super picky, loved them. They are well made and have a good size and I usually eat enough and I'm satisfied with 2. super crowded and so is my husband, and the owner has always treated me very kindly and both times I went with different people and we received the same treatment, the area is in a good location and has variety, it is the only restaurant of its kind Closer to Los Angeles, it seems to me that it should receive more support because from what they tell me, they have stopped making many things because they are not selling. In conclusion I give it 5 stars out of 5. We visited Sunday July 2, 2023“
