We really enjoyed our meal here. The atmosphere is bright and fun, the people working there were all friendly and welcoming, and the food is great.

We had the fried yucca (with some great sauces), a chicken empanada, and an arepa. The chicken in the empanada has such great flavor. The arepa was much lighter and less greasy than some we've had in the past (in a good way) but not to say it wasn't huge and absolutely filling. We got the one with the fried pork, avocado and tomato and it was absolutely smothered in garlic sauce, which we loved.

If you haven't been here, then come. Most definitely worth it.

Edit: ordered today 7/14/24 and they got my to-go order wrong.

Hope they can refund me since I ordered 4 pabellones.. but only had beef and nothing else

I would say this place is expensive, but good taste. Ordered a plate for my wife and I, two appetizers and one drink = 60$

At a lower price point, I would come more often. At current price point, it's a special occasion place for me.

This place is fantastic. The chicha alone makes it worth coming here. Probably one of the best chicha drinks I've had in my life. I highly recommend the tequeños, empanadas and their pabellón criollo. There's street parking in the area. The decor is fantastic too and the staff is nice and friendly. The food does take a bit to come out but it comes out fresh and it's worth the wait. The prices are reasonable for what it is, and the fried plantains in the pabellón were cooked to perfection.

Very quaint restaurant! Beautiful, vibrant colors and decor. The food was tasty, and fresh. Venezuelan food has a unique overall selection; with some shared elements with other central/South American cuisines. The staff here is very nice, and attentive. Food was freshly made, and very fast. Each dish had a great taste profile. There is a parking lot for customers south of the restaurant/street front. Plenty of spot there! The chicken breast dish was tasty, and simple (in a good way!). The yucca fries were different and nice! Overall everyone enjoyed their dishes! I would not say the fusible has a very strong/rich taste (like Thai/Indian food might…but it is still nice!). Plenty of seating indoors, and a few outdoor spots under a covered tarp. Wishing this place well!

Walked in here 8 months pregnant with my toddler and ordered an empanada and they made up a little plate of rice, beans, chicken, and avocado for my little one (for free!). Very very kind folks and fresh food. Highly recommend.

Great option to get away from the typical fast casual dining chains. Only Venezuelan food I know of in the area, and it's a nice variety of the typical places around South Lake.

Ordered the Domino Arepa, fried yuca, plantians, and vegetarian plate. Highly recommend the Arepa, yuca, and plantains, and the Arepa kept in the refrigerator overnight and reheated in the microwave without issue. The Arepa itself is very large, similar to a large, heavy sandwich or a burger. The vegetarian plate came with rice and plantains, which were both very good, but also a variety of raw veggies, tomato, and avocado, which were just a little bland and weren't a true dish in itself. Even with that, the food is excellent and the veggie plate is also recommended.
