Had Cameron arepa, friends had arepas and burrito. Also had tajadas con queso (plantains with cheese). It was delicious! Loved trying the different sauces with it too.

Friendly people and amazing food. The only bad part was limiting ourselves to only a few items! Yum!

an hour to get food, my wife is Colombian. I'm glad I didn't bring it. She would have been very angry.

We ate lunch here today and it was wonderful! I had the carne asada smothered burrito and it was wonderful and spicy. My friend had the nachos and she said they were the best nachos she’s ever had! We will definitely be coming back here!

You can't get more authentic than this with both Mexican and Venezuelan. Check out both menus and try them both at different times.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on street level but no curb issues.

Stop sleeping on the south side food scene. This spot is incredible. Lead chef came out took our orders and gave us free apps. It feels like a nice family spot. The kind of place you bust out the cards and stay a while... Empanadas and Arepas are INCREDIBLE and the meal isn't complete without their fresh juicesI wouldn't change a thing but the location, they need a line wrapped around their building

they show online the menu with pictures which they're not the one. Would you order need to correct your menus online and won't fix the issue bad service

I'm sure the food is good I just never got to have mine...put in a delivery order with an estimate of 25-40 mins for delivery. After an hour and a half and no sign of any progress on the order I decided to cancel.Seems like the service is quick when you dine in person but I would highly recommend not ordering delivery here.

We ate here a few weeks ago and had a pretty good experience.The parking is shared with some other businesses, but seems to be adequate and the restaurant, itself, is quite small, but clean and pretty well kept. In our case, the service was quite poor - one lady was doing everything, so it's possible that this was an isolated incident and they were short on people... but we did have to ask for drinks and other things multiple times. It also took a very long time to get food ordered and to receive it. The biggest issue, though, was that my wife is 8 months pregnant, so the bathroom is particularly important to her and the women's bathroom got unintentionally locked right before she entered and stayed locked the whole time we were there (after my wife mentioned it to the staff early-on, nothing changed - she ended up using the men's bathroom twice).The food, on the other hand, was quite good and we definitely enjoyed it...and that's the most important thing. I feel that the prices are pretty on-point to where they should be: not super cheap, but reasonable. I would say that we will surely be visiting again and trying out more of their menu!

I ordered food from grubhub. Not only was my order wrong, it was $71 dollars for two burritos, a tiny side of beans, a churro and a tiny container of flan, which was suppose to be fried ice cream. The food was cold and made my family and I sick. I was over charged for terrible sub par food. I don't recommend ever eating here.

Some of the best latino food in the city, mostly Venezuelan and Mexican food.Good arepas (yeah probably the pre-made stuff but still prepared very well), good tacos, good breakfast. Everything is fresh, and most things seem to be made from scratch.I really recommend you order one of the daily drinks, whatever they may be.The ambiance is just a basic cafeteria with music playing; there is no hiding the food behind a painted veil. And the food speaks for itself very well.Vegetarian options: There are a number of vegetarian options, and one could even eat vegan here and enjoy himself.
