“ Fantastic Venezuelan inspired food. Empanadas. Yucca fries. Delicious, filling and Flavorful food. Cerveza Fría. This place gets packed because it’s a known excellent spot. If you are in the area and you don’t go here you made a mistake. I would go back to Miami just to visit again. Cilantro sauce is the very best ”

“ Was by midtown after ing a few hours in S. Beach without breakfast. It's Venezuelan. I needed protein and carbs. Ordered the Pork and I was shocked how nice and fast they food came put. Got portion and not greasy. Definitely a great place to get a good meal fast and clean. ”
“ Delicious Venezuelan food! One of my favorite in Miami. The first couple of times, it was phenomenal; everything was on point, full of flavor, juicy, and crispy. Arepas are everything they need to be, really good stuff! No complaints at all; however, last time (a week ago), it toned down. It was missing flavor and attention to detail, but still better than 75% of Venezuelan restaurants in Miami. I hope it was just a bad day. I am coming back for more! ”
