I had such a great experience at the El Budare Cafe Stephanie was so friendly and attentive. I came for The Venezuelan Hallaca but actually all the food on the Christmas plate was delicious. I recommend the tequeños too are the best. Thank you I will back soon.

First stop on our South American food tour of Jackson Heights, Queens. Start with Ponche Crema cocktail. Like eggnog with rum. We ordered large appetizer platter and arepas. Two locations. Highly recommend.

The unfounded concerns that kept me from this place seem silly now. Each plate had perfect doneness. The restaurant delivers memorable experiences. The service people provided outstanding attention! Exceptionally flavorful dishes everywhere!
