Venezuelan Restaurants near Pompano Beach, FL

“We were visiting from Georgia and this just so happened to be the closest coffee shop. We ended up going 3 times in less than 24 hours..Best cup of coffee I have ever had!! Cannot recommend the cafe con leche w/ coconut and the white chocolate mocha enough!! The egg, ham, & cheese croissant was also delicious and the shop itself is adorable!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely incredible Venezuelan food! This food truck is a hidden gem that delivers authentic flavors, generous portions, and amazing quality every single time. The arepas are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, packed with flavorful, tender fillings that taste like they were made straight from home. The empanadas are golden, crunchy, and full of rich, savory goodness, and the sauces take everything to the next level.

You can truly feel the passion and love put into every dish. The food is fresh, comforting, and bursting with traditional Venezuelan flavors. On top of that, the service is warm, friendly, and welcoming—you’re treated like family from the moment you order.

If you’re looking for authentic Venezuelan food that will leave you craving more, this food truck is a must-try. Easily one of the best food experiences around. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again! 🇻🇪🔥“

“Venezuelan burgers at Trino — trust me, ignore the outside and go in.

This Coral Springs location has only been open about a month. It used to be a Peruvian restaurant called Italo (same owner), and honestly the exterior still carries that awkward in-between energy. Blacked-out glass, neon, very much “is this a vape shop or an adult bookstore?” vibes.

Then you walk inside — and it’s a complete personality shift.

The interior is a full-on nerd shrine: Star Wars posters, Marvel art, retro signs, guitars on the wall, framed pop culture everywhere. Clean, bright, casual, and clearly meant to be fun. It feels intentional, not kitschy.

The food absolutely backs it up.

These are Venezuelan-style smash burgers — double patties, aggressively juicy, stacked with white cheese, Munster, bacon, potato stix, and a soft toasted bun that somehow holds together despite the chaos. You can see it in the cross-section: no dry beef, no filler, just meat, fat, cheese, and crunch.

But the real differentiator here is the sauce situation.

They bring out squeeze bottles like you’re about to conduct a science experiment:

• Ajo (garlic)
• Blue cheese (excellent)
• Bacon (ridiculous)
• Sweet corn (unexpectedly great)
• Trino sauce (tangy ranch-style)

Get fries for the table and just start mixing. This place understands that sauces are not a garnish — they’re the point.

Beyond burgers, the menu goes full Venezuelan and Colombian: perros (loaded hot dogs), cachapas (sweet corn pancake sandwiches), empanadas, patacones. This isn’t a burger place pretending to do Latin food — it’s Latin street food that happens to do burgers extremely well.

Bottom line:

The outside may make you hesitate. Don’t. Inside is fun, the burgers are legit, and the sauce game alone earns the visit.

A genuinely solid addition to Coral Springs — and one I’ll be going back to.“

“I stopped in at this restaurant just to use the bathroom and thought I would buy something to be fair. I grabbed a few containers of soup, and it turns out that the soups are amazing! I have so many stashed in my freezer now! You must try their chicken soup and their lentil soup is so good, five star flavor!“

“Five Stars from a Gringo Who Fell in Love with Venezuelan Comfort Food

This place isn’t just my wife’s favorite Venezuelan restaurant—it’s her comfort zone. Every time we walk in, it’s like someone opened a door to her childhood. The smells, the music, the way the staff greets her like she’s family—it’s beautiful to watch. And honestly, that alone would earn this place five stars.

But here’s the part that really matters to me: I’m not Venezuelan. I’m the cringo in the corner trying to pronounce “cachapa” without sounding like I’m ordering a Pokémon. And yet, they never make me feel out of place. The staff is kind, patient, and genuinely excited to share their culture. They walk you through the menu like they’re inviting you into their home kitchen.

I’ve learned to love the food, sure—but I’ve also learned to love how this place makes people feel. Whether you grew up eating arepas or you’re just curious and hungry, they make you feel welcome. And that’s rare.

So yeah, five stars. Not just for the food, but for the feeling.“

“We enjoyed a lovely brunch sitting outside, savoring well-prepared food, the sun, and a refreshing breeze. This Venezuelan and Argentine bakery offers delicious pastries, flaky croissant sandwiches, a variety of empanadas like cheese, beef with raisins, and spinach & cheese, along with specialty coffees. You order from a large menu inside, and the staff brings it to your table. While there are some indoor tables, we preferred dining al fresco. The mousse served in its own chocolate cup was both creative and heavenly! The service was friendly and accommodating, the space is clean and bright, and it’s clear this spot is a local favorite. With plenty of free parking and a view of the charming fountain, Crocante at “The Walk” in Coral Springs is perfect for lunch while shopping or a relaxed meet-up with friends.“

“It’s an amazing place with truly exquisite service. My family and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving there. They were open on Thanksgiving Day, and thank goodness for that — it’s not easy to find a great place for a holiday dinner, but they absolutely delivered.“

“Excellent service added to the quality of their dishes... I can highlight the loin... it was delicious and the snack service composed of mini tequeños, mini empanaditas, not to mention... all very delicious 100% recommended... I am going to attach 2 photos that I took of my plate and the snack service... I was delighted ?“

“We got the tequenos,empanadas,cachapa and a few more items,it was all very good and the service was good,the food came out fresh and quickly,we came as soon as they opened this time and they set up quickly and served us,this isn't the first or the last time we'll come!“
