I came today and found the restaurant closed. It appears OPEN on Google Maps. Apparently, they are closed for a week.
Fortunately, I found another new Venezuelan restaurant in this area and I highly recommend it. It's called Dukes.

I’ve been visiting this restaurant since I moved to Houston three years ago. All I can say is that it has seen better days. The food used to be really decent, but over time it has gotten really bad and has nothing to do with authentic Venezuelan food. As a frequent customer, I recommend bringing the Venezuelan vibe back... improve the food, bring Oriana to the front, and add some Venezuelan decor and soft music in the background. I was there on 12/30, and it felt soulless.

This is a small, but nice, and clean place. Food and prices are OK. Family own and operated so we are adding an extra star for that. For a better experience try a late breakfast or an early lunch. Since the place is small it gets full easily and there is no 'elbow space.' Or order to go. Limited, but free parking in the back. It has some unusual and tasty dishes to try like arepa with eggplant and sandwiches made with plantains instead of bread! Coffee is good. We dined in, but ordered something to go and they wrote a little message on the box. We though that was a nice touch :)

I walked in after a long day, and was greeted by the sweetest man. The food was amazing and extremely authentic. I had the pabellón cachapa, absolute 1000/10 I will def go back because it is worth the 40 min drive

Such good food! The rice orchata is the best I've had. Many gluten-free options, more than I see elsewhere.

Every time I’m downtown, I have to make a stop here! The location is super convenient and easy to get to, though parking behind the building can be a bit tricky. The Venezuelan/Mediterranean food is delicious, which keeps me coming back!

This place has set a standard for my expectations of Venezuelan food I try different Venezuelan or places who try to make Venezuelan fusion places and I still reminisce of this place instead!
