Orinoco Harvard Square

I got the Pabellon Criollo and it was great, but what they did with the rice is the most amazing thing, it has a nice depth of flavor. I highly recommend the plantains!

I didn't have the chance to try their food, but I saw a few dishes come out of the kitchen and they looked delicious.
The atmosphere is very pleasant and the attention is wonderful.
Today we had the pleasure of having two delicious papelon with lemon courtesy of the house. Grateful?????

Best Venezuelan food in Boston. The tequenos are to die for, better than the ones I had in Venezuela.

The lamb was great, tasty and pairing sauce was great. The portion does feel a little too small. Sangria was also nice but does feel a little overly-diluted. Will come back to try the arepa next time.

Food was tasty, but the service was not great. They brought it late, although I mentioned before ordering that I had to leave at a certain time and they said the food would be ready in time, which wasn’t the case. Also, when I asked if I could use the WiFi, the lady answered “we have WiFi but don’t share the password”…

First time eating Venezuelan food. At lunch, the service was a little slow. It took 25 mins to have our food but everything was delicious and flavorful. Trio De Empanadas, each dumplings have different flavors as shredded pork, cheese and black bean paste. Not many options on the lunch menu so I want to try their dinner menu next time.

Stumbled upon this place last night while trying to find somewhere good to eat for a late bday celebration. Our server was amazing- gave so many good recommendations and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The sangria is a must try and the beef and cheese arepa was out of this world. We also tried the chicken and pork arepas, and the chicken and steak plate, and mini ribs. It was so delicious. Our server gave 10/10 service, including bringing us out free dessert and allowed us to sample drinks before ordering. For all that food and drinks for 3 people we only paid $160 after tip. A hidden gem and a must try :)

Everything ordered was good. Small and quaint. It’s in Harvard Square so keep in mind street parking is not the easiest. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because they don’t have chicha on the menu :-). It’s like not having horchata at a Mexican restaurant.
