Spotted by this place for lunch while returning from an estate sale on a rainy day and the restaurant was still packed. The service was impeccable, our server was so sweet and kind, despite dealing with hangry masses in a small space. We got the arepas tasting platter and the sweet corn pancakes. Both were delicious. The Reina arepas stood out with their avocado chicken filling. We also got the sugarcane lemon drink which was very refreshing. I will be returning here to try their all day Venezuelan brunch menu next!

The best Venezuelan restaurant in Queens, NY. The cachapa with ham and cheese is the traditional and my top 1 on the menu. They offer a variety of arepas, tons of fillings and flavors. They also have main traditional dishes like pabellón criollo (highly recommended) and much more! Family friendly place.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad I did. It was busier than I expected on a Wednesday night but we were seated quickly. I tried both of the vegan arepas, the hongos and the veggie. The hongos were very flavorful, in a white wine and garlic sauce, and it's all hongos, which made it a little messy but still very tasty. However, I though the veggie was truly the star. Flavorful black beans, sliced avocado and delicious sweet plantains. Added a little hot sauce and it was perfect!

Everything here is spectacular ?. Undisputed theFlavor of each dish is glorious. Affordable prices and good atmosphere. The place is small but it's worth the wait. Fully recommended!
The cozy atmosphere and friendly customer service created a welcoming experience. The highlight, however, was the delicious flavor-packed arepas that made my taste buds dance with joy. I had the beef arepa and it was so good. A must-try for those seeking a delightful culinary adventure!

Large group of us ate here. Amazing service and the food was delicious. The space is a bit small, but it is queens. I had the pulled pork arepa and it was delicious.
I always end up here with my family. The kids love their green sauce called guasacaca and make us come here just for a taste of it! They also love the bubble gum soda from Venezuela. I like the cachapa arepa made out of sweet corn with Ricardo’s tuna fish and avocado. Sounds weird but it’s tasty. The other popular choices in my group are pabellón and domino. The appetizer platter disappears as soon as it’s placed on the table. I’m also a fan of the pineapple hot sauce. The white and red sangria’s are also pleasant.

Delicious food, awesome service, cozy place. Stop by whenever you feel like tasting the chamos
The food was amazing. Very authentic! We had the mixed empanadas as a starter, then the pabellón and the arepa Catira as entrees and the tres leches as a dessert. I would recommend everything! As I'm Colombian, I still prefer the bandeja paisa instead of the pabellón, but it was still worth the try. I can recommend this place enough. The best price/taste/portion size ratio! (And I eat a lot btw)
