Delicious arepas, empanadas, and tostones. Bonus points for them being gluten free. Garlic sauce so tasty. Warm place to eat at the little brewery room.

We love this place, my partner and I eat here all the time. Jose helped us last time we were in and was a sweetheart with great service. Plus great gluten free food!!

I’ve been a few times already and I have not had a bad experience at all so I decided to take some time to write a review. The service is always good and honest, last time I went I was told it was going to take about 40 minutes and decided I could go run some errands before going back and getting my order. The other times were a short wait. I can see how it can be a very busy place since the quality and flavor of the food is excellent and made to order. This time I was wondering about their food being gluten free since I had my non-latina mother-in-law visiting and wanted to make sure the food will be good for her. Alessandro, the cook on duty, was very knowledgeable and describe to my wife what has gluten and what doesn’t. I would say 99% of their food is gluten free. We ordered 4 arepas, 1 passion food drink and a quesillo. The pabellón arepa was flavorful and I truly enjoyed how the ingredients go well together. My wife ordered the fish one and she has never had such a good arepa before. The other two were cheese and meat which were enjoyed by my mother-in-law and my niece, they both loved them and it was the first time my niece tried Venezuelan food. The passion fruit juice was great and I forgot we even had a desert since it just vanished because it was that good. Overall, a great experience with great food and service. I want to thank Alessandro for making our amazing food and for the great customer service provided. We will be back soon.
