Excellent food and excellent service. The empanadas were cooked to perfection, and the menu offers a great variety. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved this place! The empanadas were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crispy. The staff was super welcoming and made great recommendations. If you're looking for a quick bite that tastes homemade, this spot is a must-try! Short & PunchyDelicious empanadas and fast, friendly service. Can't wait to come back!

It is very difficult for me to do this review. But I ordered 1 meat empanada, 1 queen pepiada arepa and a malta. $23.85....although the meat was very tasty, the prices are excessively high. I travel all over the United States because I am a truck driver, and by far it is the Venezuelan restaurant with the highest prices. They have good flavor but they must be honest with the prices.
