Hidden Gem AlertIf you are looking for South American flavors with a Venezuela spin, this is the place.Family ran, which makes it even better.A Tres Leachs Cake that is worth the calories and larger waistline.Always ask for the specials.DORA approved for a drinks; and the Rum Punch is top-notch. The only thing is which flavor you're picking.Empanadas are delicious and will keep you coming back.The Tacos are good and my favorite item, but nothing too fancy about them, which I like and feel comfortable ordering!We also ordered a special of the day tacos, which were fish; OMG - it was so good.Partner is very adventurous regarding food and ordered the ceviche and loved it. I tried it, and I have to say it was different in a good way.

Man oh man. The Hallaca brought me so much happiness. It’s like a tamale but BETTER. The flavors were subtle but not too subtle. You can taste the love put into this dish. It was absolutely beautiful, my only regret was not taking a picture before I took my first bite. The garnish on top brought just enough acid to level with the delicious pork. I will be coming back for more.I asked the waitress for an arepa with whatever they recommended. I was given pork. WOWOWOWOW WHOA! The ooey gooey cheese. The tender FLAVOR PACKED PORK. the perfectly toasted arepa. It was genius. I couldn’t help but keep repeating how good it was. Clark county is so lucky to have this gem.It’s rare for a place to be open on a Sunday, but I’m so glad they were open. My friend and I will be bringing our families back.This place is such a refreshing change from the typical texmex in town. A diamond in the rough.
