Small restaurant with big flavor. Got the Yuka appetizer and it came with two sauces that went well together. The K-Rod was so good, beef flavorful and the sauces!
A real neighborhood gem. I stopped in during the Sunday lunch rush and enjoyed a Venezuelan coffee and a juice snd a postre while waiting for my order. If you don't speak Spanish, don't worry, they will be patient with you, and if you're lucky like me, one of the owners (a father-son team) will sit to have a chat. The friendly service really brightened my day. I ordered a few arepas to go for "mi jevo" (learned this from the Venezuelan vocab words on the wall) and enjoyed my coffee and pineapple cake as I waited. We loved the Reina arepa in particular. We put the green sauce on everything. Can't wait to try more of the menu. What great neighbors! See you again soon.
So amazing!! My mother & I got some empanadas, definitely didn’t disappoint. Perfect size for the price and it was STUFFED.
