This little Venezuelan cafe is a gem. The outdoor seating in the garden is quaint & it feels private even being in the bustling/touristy Old Town area. This was our favorite food in San Diego, and honestly, a highlight of the trip. We were in town for a long weekend & ate there twice. The staff was the most welcoming & friendly! Special shout out to Victor who seems like such a genuinely kind person. We wanted to chat with him all day, but of course he was busy! Really, the people make the cafe a whole experience. And for the food! The salmon arepa with tomato & avocado was delicious & filling (bonus that the arepas are gluten-free). The alma llanera (carnitas, eggs, avocado, plantain, arepa) was a main plate which was such a mouth-watering array of flavors. We also tried one of the sweet corn pancakes with black beans, beef, and plantain (el vainero) which was a nice combo of savory & sweet. My husband loved the Venezuelan cheese. Combine all that with a Mexican mocha=perfection. Everything was fresh & carefully prepared as well as filling, so it is very worth the price. Food sensitivities/allergies are accommodated easily. Overall, such a lovely cafe & a pleasant experience. Pro-tip: Go right at 8am.
