One of the best meals we’ve ever had. The garlic bread they serve you for free was perrrfect! Chips and cheese dip was great. And the arepas, oooh, them was superb. Chicken were cooked really good. And the side of fries was perfectly done too. Not too salty, not too greasy. The ingredients tasted fffresh. We were the only one in the place when we ate and we enjoyed that. The service was on point. We will definitely be back and recommend it to our friends and family.

If I could give this place a lower rating I would the food is bland unseasonably and tasteless my son wife and me went in there and it was just us in there and it took over an hour to get our food and my son order Mac and cheese as one of his sides and the literaly brought out bowl of soupy easy Mac you know the microwavable Mac and cheese that you add water to .left utterly disgusted will not be back

Very good restaurant, I recommend it 100% to eat with the family. Very delicious typical dishes of Venezuela and a spectacular coffee. I will return many times to eat my Patacon and have a delicious coffee. Thanks

Delicious. Exceptionally clean w great service! We had fried sweet plantains, lentil and potato soup (potato was the fav), and patacones ( chicken and beef). Great South American cuisine- family owned - living the American dream!

Great local find!! Very attentive waitress who recommended their authentic Arepas. We ordered pork and split them as an appetizer. Very flavorful meat and hot , crisp Arepas. Crema they came with was great. Complimentary garlic bread was a nice surprise. My friend ordered the chicken salad and he enjoyed it. Lots of flavorful shredded chicken on top of a lettuce bed, then topped with corn and surrounded by nacho chips. I had the fajitas. The side rice & beans were piping hot, seasoned mildly. The fajitas had great chicken chunks flavored well but it was very light on the onions, peppers. I added hot sauce to it all to ramp it up. I would go back.

Delicious! We were looking for something filling after a full day of hiking. The Latin American flare drew us in and we tried the Arepas and Patacones. They were so good, the creamy cilantro sauce and coleslaw went perfectly with the shredded beef and chicken. Give this restaurant a try!
Service was very good and the food was great! There was no one else in there when I ate here for lunch, but that does not seem to change the service or food quality. I would recommend and will be back.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had Venezuelan food. It was excellent! Fair pricing, good portions and well seasoned. With the exception of arepas, Venezuelan food is less heavy than you might get a typical Mexican American Restaurant. Arepas are grilled or fried corn meal then stuffed with meat or veggies. Think of arepas like the chunky baby of southern corn bread and a Mexican soft taco. Try the Reina pepiada (shredded chicken and avocado). It’s simple and maker of happy mouths. The Pabellon was on point. The plantains were cooked to perfection. Thank you for a very satisfying meal.

Although this place only opened a few months ago (just prior to the Covid-19 shutdown), we have made it one of our regular dining out / carry out options. The food is a blend of Venezuelan & Italian. Our groups have tried various meals and they have all been excellent, but my personal favorite are the Arepas. Being gluten free, I don't often get to eat a good sandwich, but since the bread is made from 100% corn flour, i can happily indulge. The owner / chef is very nice and happy to tell you about the various dishes which are not our normal fare here in Cookeville, TN. I am happy to have this as a wonderful dining option!
