Food is flavorful and made with fresh ingredients. True to the original and authentic flavors of home cooking in your grandmother's kitchen. Customer service is excellent, will answer as many questions and extremely friendly. Must try!! You will not be disappointed.
Delicioso! I was craving Venezuelan food this afternoon, so I ordered from here for the first time with my family via UberEats. As I always say when I write my reviews when I order to go: I can't speak on ambiance. Regarding service, they packed up our order pretty quick and it was delivered earlier than the estimated time which was nice. I got us a few things to share: TEQUEÑOS (order of 5 minis), CACHAPA DE QUESO, AREPA PELUA (FRIED/FRITA), AREPA DOMINO (GRILLED/ASADA) + sauces: CILANTRO & GARLIC/AJO Y CILANTRO, PINK SAUCE l/SALSA ROSADA, CHIPOTLE HOT SAUCE/PICANTE. Everything was delicious! We always love tequeños. I wish more restaurants served the bigger ones, but the minis are still yummy. The cachapa had the perfect sweet-salty balance. My favorite item today was the arepa pelua. We ordered it fried, so it was nice and crispy on the outside and stuffed with flavorful meat and cheese. The arepa domino was also delicious. The black beans could have had a bit more seasoning, but it still hit the spot. All 3 sauces we ordered were great. My mom, my sister, and I each picked a different favorite! Mine today was the cilantro garlic, my mom's was the chipotle hot sauce (while not actually spicy, it had great flavor), and my sister's was the pink sauce. As for prices, it's pretty expensive, but I find most Venezuelan restaurants I've ordered from to be! We look forward to ordering more from here soon!
This location has a great selection of food, wonderful staff, and such a beautiful sit down area. It can be a little tight with seating, but it is definitely worth it to eat the food if your party doesn't mind sitting close together. Fresh food and great taste!
If you love arepas, you are going to love this place. Wonder Arepa does some of the best Venezuelan food around. I highly recommend their pollo and avocado arepa. They also have an excellent steak version as well. One of the best parts is just the giant glob of delicious cheese that is on top of each of the sandwiches. The maize (corn) that makes up the "bread" is incredible. So soft and seasoned well. If I had any complaints, it would just be that I wish they had some type of sauce or a hot sauce to go with the dish. Not that it is overly dry, but it definitely could use some liquid to make it a little more moist. a hot sauce specifically would be excellent to give a little variety and acidity to the savory dish.
Good food! Good service! I personally love the empanadas they have! They are very tasty! I recommend this place!
