Great food and drinks! I highly recommend dining here very consistent in quality and service.... you may have to wait just a bit....but so worth the wait! I live in the neighborhood and it's definitely one of my go to places to eat. I am a manager for Hilton Hotels and send my guests here for a great Columbian/Venezuelan dining experience! Calvin C.

Small space. Not a lot table space. Efficient but not overly friendly service. Good drinks. Food is tasty but heavily salted.

Delicious arepas and drinks. A small place by the food is good. A bit pricey, but still good.

Francisco Verón Ferreira

Delicious, huge portions. Hits the spot if you are looking for Latin food.

The food got greasy and the lack of taste was down too. The empanadas were so oily. I love they made them in-house but they need to change the oil and raise the temp.

Food is good but unfortunately the waitress aren't as attentive since the first couple of times I been there. You have to keep getting thier attention if you need something. I guess go around night time if you want better service

Don't come to this place for Venezuelan arepas. They were not fresh, probably bought at a supermarket frozen, and the filling was not good either. I got a passion fruit juice that had too much water and little fruit flavor. Disappointing. No luck today. But I don't think I'll be back.

I’m really disappointed with my experience. Delivery took almost two hours, and when the food finally arrived it was cold. My order was missing the rice, the soup had very little flavor, the steak was tough and not good, and the beans were completely bland with no salt. For the time and money spent, this was extremely frustrating. I was expecting much better quality.

I'm so disappointed, I went last Saturday and suffered food poisoning 😫, at soon as I got there, I had the impression the place wasn't clean and was smelly but didn't follow my instincts. My food was disgusting the [Terra and mar dish..] The meat looked like it was 100 years saved in the fridge. I wasn't able even to cut the meat with the snife...super hard, I just ate half of the portion but was enough to keep me in the bathroom the whole night..plus one of the girl waitresses was super mean not polite, the whole time she was acting mean towards us, with some nasty attitude, like we were eating there for free.. I will definitely never go back there and not recommend it..

Coming from a hispanic background I was very excited to try this place. Bad experience overall. I ordered arepas venezolanas to go. The arepa was very dried and hard. The refried beans were very salty and even had a hair on my food. Presentation was grotesque and messy. Reina pepiada lacked flavor. Hopefully they improve after my review.
