Vegetarian options feature prominently, utilizing fresh ingredients like plantains, avocado, and hearty legumes to create substantial meals.

This is my new favourite restaurant. Amazing vegan options which is hard to find when you're also gluten free. I come here once a week because I can't stop thinking about how good the food is.

Our first time trying Venezuelan food & this place was amazing! The cheese empanadas were so delicious, & the Reina Pepiada was excellent. Everything was fresh & full of flavor; highly recommend!

We dropped by for takeout on a cold rainy Montreal evening. We had our order taken quickly & about 15 minutes later were on our way back to the AirBnB. We had the Empanadas (3) & the Pollo platter. Delicious! We didn't have to worry about taking a gluten-ease pill either.

Pésima atención, empanadas quemadas, otras crudas. El servicio es lo peor, un restaurante latino con una persona que no habla espanol. No vuelvo!!

Que mala atención de parte de la chica que nos atendió, un restaurante venezolano donde el servicio es pésimo. La bolsa con el pedido para llevar casi que no las tira en la cara. Maleducada, grosera!
