Amazing food and service at great prices! The atmosphere is casual and simple but nice. The empanadas could be better but everything else is SO GOOD!

I visited this Venezuelan restaurant for the first time today with a friend, and I absolutely loved it! The food was delicious — full of authentic flavors and made with care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal.
A special shout-out to Alexa for her amazing service — she was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It’s not easy to find places where both the food and the service stand out like this.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to enjoy real Venezuelan food and a great dining experience!

I just ordered food to go from this restaurant through Uber Eats, and I have to say — wow! It was my first time ordering from here, and this was honestly one of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time using Uber Eats. The portion size was just right, the salmon was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the maduros were spot on. Everything in this order was simply excellent. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try — you won’t be disappointed!

White Maize is one of our go to spots to order from. I will say however that it is pricey for the amount of food you receive. I wish they gave a tad more in your order to remedy that, fingers crossed.
With that being said, it really is deciduous. As a celiac, it feels great being able to be confident in the food I am eating.

Used to go here more often, but between the staff just screaming at each other for no reason and the inflated cost for smaller portions there are other restaurants in the city I’d rather go to when I want to grab some Venezuelan food.
$10 for 3 tostones was really the bum deal that sealed that I don’t need to stop here anymore.

Totally disregards notes. WAY overpriced. I used to order from here all the time but stopped because the accuracy of delivery was so bad. I spent $80 on food and it was missing all the sauces and drinks. When you call the restaurant they don't pick up and hang up after one ring. Not sure what it's like in person but for delivery, it's a hard NO. Not worth the $$ for dry arepas especially when they forget the sauces and sodas.
Follow up. The owner Kathyana texted me, thanked me for my feedback and personally apologized and said she'd like to win my trust and business back by delivering my order again at my convenience. She said there was someone new running the orders that night and mistakes were made. However, when I texted her back to set up the delivery, I never heard back. If you read the reviews I am not the only person to have the issue of them not following notes, mistakes on delivery, not being able to contact the restaurant via phone etc. I appreciated the text but why send if you're not going to follow up. Feels very hollow and superficial. They've lost a former loyal customer permanently.

Absolutely amazing!!!! The arepa with shredded beef, platanos, black beans with rice and cheese and tostones with shrimp are simply amazing. Love this spot!

Asked them to accommodate an error to the order and they said no and stated “thats not our fault”. Understandably so, but it’s the principle of the matter. Didn’t end up getting my order.

I had the pulled pork arepas and it was so amazing. the portions look small but they’re very filling, almost couldn’t finish it. I told the staff about my gluten allergy (celiac) and they gave me details on what i could and couldn’t have. Very kind staff with awareness. Very nice spacious eating area.

I have to say, this place has really dipped in quality, even as their prices have increased. It's just no longer good. $70 for three people, no alcohol.

Pulled chicken bowl tasty. Only complaint was the plantains tasted like they’d been out for awhile
I order from here often and yesterday I ordered the tostones; 2 Reina, 1 pulled chicken.
I received 1 Reina, 1 pork, and 1 chicken.
I am DEADLY ALLERGIC TO PORK I HAVE ALPHA GAL ALLERGY.
I am extremely disappointed and upset that this oversight that could have KILLED me was made and will not be ordering from here again.
Their food is delicious and always fresh though.
