This is a sweet little spot just off of Tennyson with amazing Venezuelan arepas and empanadas!! Please support this local biz, with an incredibly friendly staff, quick service, and delicious menu full of special eats. It’s been a long time since I had tequeños and I could not be more pleased they are back in my rotation!

This little local Gem just off of Tennyson Street has the best Arepas and empanadas that I I’ve ever had. I like the PABELLON which has a Generous amount of Delicious shredded beef and plantains in it. It comes with several sauces, which are all Unique and wonderful and are definitely the secret sauce that makes them so so delicious. You MUST try it out! You will be addicted like I am! And the people are very friendly with good service.

We ordered the traditional Venezuelan dinner, traditional Venezuelan criollo, empanadas, arepas, and other dishes, all of which were fantastic. The juices were fresh and flavorful. We also had the sopapilla rellena which was the best dessert I have had in all my life. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Denver!
