Found this as a GF person. The server was knowledgeable about the menu. Almost everything was GF. Several options and the Veggie arepa was very good (even if a little messy).

Tastes like my abuela made!

We ate outside and they brought water for our dog. Everything was delicious.

Glad to see this place is still in business. It was delicious when they first opened and they’ve only honed their craft since. We had the cod fish and beef & cheese empanadas to start. They were pretty decently sized with more filling than breading and a perfect golden brown exterior. We each had the grilled arepas: one pabellon and one llanera. This was the perfect amount of flavor, portion, and satisfaction. Will be coming back many times in the future.

If you have never visited Venezuela, Pa'l Carajo will take you there. The flavors and the ambiance transported us to a place we've never been but would now love to go. We had arepas (shredded pork and chicken), empanadas (chicken and shredded beef), plantains with cheese, and a few drinks. Nothing disappointed. Fast service and a perfect atmosphere. Corre, no camines. ¡Nosotras volveremos pronto!

Always looked like a fun place when I drove by and finally went a few weeks ago with friends for dinner. It was amazing. Our waitress, Brenda, was incredibly kind and helpful. She talked us through the menu and made great recommendations. We all ended up getting the grilled arepa llanera- a delicious combo of avocado, steak and cheese with a sauce. We also tried different sides- I had the tequenos which were sooo good. For beverages - they had a great happy hour and we got $7 blackberry sangria that was a perfect addition. I think we all enjoyed it. But I will say our overall favorite was their green garlic sauce. They need to bottle it- its that good! Also- almost EVERYTHING was gluten free!
Overall it was a great experience. Will definitely go again!

They don't care about their customers. Literally standing around and doing nothing and my order from Door Dash was so late because of it. The Dasher literally shared with me what they were doing and it was nothing. And it wasnt even busy and the Dasher still had to wait over 20 mins

The service and the food here is amazing! I dined here with a friend and we had a great experience. Our server was very polite, attentive, and brought our food out in a timely manner. I ordered the Arepas Catira with yuca fries and my friend ordered the cachapas queso de mano and an empanada. Everything tasted great and I had no issues or complaints! The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you receive as well. I look forward to dining here again and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Food is ok. I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. They charge for any type of sauce to go with your meal which are just regular condiments but always check your order. They charged me an extra $2 for sauce I never received and had no way to refund me. 😐
