Gabriella was extremely helpful!

Honestly, with how busy it was, I wonder if more Venezuelans or celiac people eat here.

Bought take out for 4 people, 1 of who is celiac & they love this place as it is always safe to eat any/all food.

Really delicious & generous sauce portions. I had slightly high expectations for the empanadas, but that's just because I am Venezuelan.

I would definitely eat here again!

Délicieux, sandwichs avec des Areperas Vénézuéliens. À ne pas confondre avec ceux de Colombie, comme on en trouve à New Haven.

It was very nice for my wife to find a totally gluten free restaurant. Had to park a few blocks away but it was will worth it for the friendly service & tasty arepas. Several vegan options as well.

Absolutely delicious food! The trio of empanadas with cheese & chicken was my personal favourite perfectly crispy, flavorful, & paired with amazing sauces. The place also offers great vegetarian options, which is always a big plus. The staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming. Just thinking about this place again makes my mouth water, so delicious 🤤
