I have been doing take out from La Taguara for years : these guys just never disappoint. I was surprised to realize I had never left a review .
La Taguara on East Wash has been my go to lunch spot for so many years that I have tried almost every thing on the menu . However my Main two favorites for lunch are consistently either the empanadas or the pastelitos. This week I got the pastelito with beef and a side of fries . The pastelito is a cousin of the empanada : but it’s made with wheat flour instead of corn . Filling of beef ( or any others like chicken or basic cheese) are spot on. Not too heavy but just enough to give a good fill for lunch. The sauces they make here are awesome especially the green guasacaca sauce of theirs is bursting with flavor and pairs with both the pastelito and also with the empanadas.

La Taguara on East Washington is a gem. They serve absolutely delicious Venezuelan food, prepared with care and full of flavor. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming that it feels like you’re among friends the moment you walk in.
As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how easy it is for me to find plenty of options—almost everything I’d like to eat, they can accommodate. The arepas are wonderful and oh-so-filling, the yucca fries and plantains are unbeatable, and their fantastic sauces tie it all together perfectly.
Everything about this place is fantastic… well, except that they sell Pepsi-but that’s easy to forgive when the food and service are this good. Highly recommended! Please go. I only wish I could go more often.

La Taguara in Madison, Wisconsin, is an absolute gem that truly deserves a five-star rating! I was initially hoping to try the passion fruit, but since it wasn't available, I opted for the sugarcane lemonade, and I'm so glad I did! It was incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced, a delightful surprise. For our meal, we enjoyed the delicious empanadas—two savory chicken and one perfectly seasoned ground beef. I also ordered the Pabellón a Caballo, which was fantastic. The tender shredded beef, black beans, and plantains topped with an egg were all incredibly flavorful. My partner raved about their Cubano sandwich, which was also fantastic. Every dish was prepared with care and bursting with authentic flavor. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was excellent. We had a truly memorable dining experience and can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend La Taguara for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Latin cuisine.

We had breakfast here Saturday morning and it was phenomenal. Both my partner and I are vegetarian and they had veggie substitutes for most menu items. The food and kind service were excellent!
Very flavorful food with a huge portion size! Enough to take some home for leftovers

La Taguara delivers beyond expectations! The food is simply amazing, with every bite bursting in vibrant Venezuelan flavor. Their Green Sauce deserves a special mention—it’s perfectly creamy, refreshingly tangy, and just the right level of zing to elevate every dish. Whether you're digging into arepas or sampling a hearty platter, that green sauce transforms the experience into something unforgettable. Friendly service, a warm atmosphere, and authentic Latin American cuisine make this place a must-visit. Highly recommended!
