We had lunch and ate at a table in the bar.The menu is varied with choices for just about any dietary restrictionsThe cuisine is Venisulan, and cooked to perfection.

My first review of any restaurant but I had to! The perfect find, my boyfriend and I happened upon it on the way home from a fun day out. We consider ourselves lucky in finding special unique spots but this place is not like any other, it truly transports you through its food and its ambience. The service is incredible and personable, you feel so welcome and it feels like home and family. You can truly feel the pride they have in their food through the service and the flavors. I always love the familiar tastes of food I’ve had time and time again, but this was all new and provided comfort in its flavors while expanding your understanding of authentic Venezuelan food. We tried the beef, chicken, and pork arepas, as well as one of the plates where you build your own arepa. It is delicious meat and beans and cheese and sauce and avocado, anything you select, sandwiched within delicious corn pancakes. We never indulge in dessert out but we even had to take a coconut flan to go. Everything down to the drinks and sodas are authentic, I often find that a drink is the same most places you go but here the “Auyantepui” surprises with flavors of tamarind within spiced rum. This isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. If you want to try something new, this is the place for you. You will feel wrapped up in its warmth instantaneously.

The best experience in Venezuelan food. Being Venezuelan and knowing how to make arepas and cachapas at home, I always go to the arepa for my parties and family gatherings. Orders for more than 25 people, always on time and freshly made. Fresh food. Affordable prices. Top quality. The place is extremely clean. 100% recommended for your parties

Unfortunely, I didn't get to take photos of the food. Next time I go, I will. Despite having a second to be sat, it was a wonderful name. I also can't remember the man who was serving us either, but they seem super personable and kind. They had a great attitude towards their work and the company. The young man spoke SPANISH and ENGLISH to my friend and I. He beautifully translated the menu, the questions and basically everything to us, transitioning in point tbh. Anyways, the food fantastic, large portions worth the price, I'm surprised to even see the prices that low for such presentation and portion. The passion fruit drink as well waa fantastic. Large menu, fantastic music and staff.

Nothing to do with Venezuelan food, bad seasoning, horrible cachapa and bad taste, horrible meat and empanadas, that cheese tastes terrible and the pavilion is disgusting and super expensive. I'm stuck in my stomach for hours, close it?? that's what I'm left with is the Venezuelan cart that's on Broad St. I bought it and the cachapas are super delicious and the way they are...

Fresh arepas filled with your meat of choice. I always go with the reina pepiada, but the pork one is great as well.
