What can I say, the place itself is beautiful with a large spacious area for seating, big windows with views to the street. The food is made in a timely manner & it tastes excellent, from the arepas to the empanadas y certainly is worth it.

This charming restaurant has been a Plateau mainstay since 2011, specializing in arepas, empanadas, & all things Venezuelan. 🇻🇪

The brunch is a delightful addition! The dishes were not only gluten-free but also bursting with authentic flavors.

We started with an order of empanadas; each one was perfectly crafted & filled with delicious ingredients, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
We followed that with the Plato Criollo, a giant plate of Perico eggs, fresh avocado, fried plantains, stewed beans, arepas, Andean cheese, & chicharrón (pork belly). All of this was not only delicious but extremely filling. We couldn't finish half of it 😅-the portion was very generous.

A big thank you to the team for their warm hospitality during brunch; it was evident that they take pride in their food & service. ☀?

Delicious, crispy & tender arepas. Perfectly fried plantains. Added plus of gluten free empanadas that were highly delicious. Ooh & the cocktails & house-made juices were super yummy. Highly highly recommend for lovers of arepas & anyone avoiding gluten!

Great arepas, empanadas, plantain & cassava chips. Pretty sure it's gotten 50% more expensive since I last went in 2019 though.
