First time trying Venezuelan Food. Loved it. Everything we tried was really good. Highly recommend it. We had the Arepitas, Tequenos, and PABELLON BOWL. Delicious!
The atmosphere, service, and flavours are spot on. You forget you’re in Edmonton and feel transported to Venezuela :) definitely will be back and highly recommend for vegetarian and meat eater folks. Oh and Abuelita's quesillo is a must!
Good food! Not a cuisine I've tried before but I certainly enjoyed it. Not very expensive either.
What a find! I was looking for something new around Whyte Ave. I haven't been there for quite a while and hence I am not aware of the new changes. I came across this Venezuelan restaurant on the map. I love south american food and I didn't think twice before deciding on this. I went there with two of my friends and none of them have had south american food before. The place looked quite decent and homely. It felt like a family run business. To be honest I am not sure if it is. The gentleman who took the orders was extremely friendly. He patiently explained to us what is what and answered all our questions. The food arrived on time and was simply delicious. I loved every bit of it. Even my friends who haven't had south american food before loved the food. They even told me that now they have a new place to get food from. They live close by. I highly recommend this place and I will be back here soon.
The food was great! I had beef empanadas and the other people ppl in my party had the mishroom arepa and the Trinidad (which was a beautiful beef arepa). When I go again I will get the beef arepa. Amazing flavour, so good. It was my 1st time trying Venezuelan food and I loved it. 10/10. My friend also got a coconut drink and it was really good! Fresh coconut for sure.
Had a blast in this restaurant earlier when my business team and I came in for a nice lunch. One of my business partners is Colombian and he was craving some home food since arriving to Edmonton. It was all our first time at a Venezuelan cuisine establishment and all of us unanimously loved everything we ordered! The minute you enter this store you can pick up on the very family oriented vibe, it feels like you are eating in their dinning room which is an excellent experience and something I personally love about this place! The owners are so friendly and polite everyone provided us with the highest customer experience possible for the duration of the stay. From all the scrumptious appetizers we ordered which was all eaten up almost immediately by my whole group, we absolutely enjoyed the great sauces that came with it. The actually Arepa lived up to all the hype and reviews we saw about this restaurant before coming in. My personally favourite was the deep fried pork and the an pinatas a absolute must try apart from the wide selection of Arepas they have to offer! We all will be back absolutely in the future. Thanks to the family and restaurant for an amazing time one again!
I never leave reviews but I’d cry if this place every closed. It is So so so good please give this place a try the arepas are home made and everything was amazing. These are the kind of businesses that need to stay open.
Customer WiFi: yes Washrooms: yes Power outlets: yes Pet friendly: no Parking: Street Food/Drinks: fantastic food! Loved it! Most unique food I've tasted in a while. The cheese/mozzarella stick things taste really fresh not like they are frozen or anything before they fry it. The pulled pork and black bean arepas weighed like a pound! And super tasty and worth it. Coleslaw pairs really well with any dish it comes with. Service: a little confusing at first when you first walk in because you don't know to sit down or order at the counter. We ended up sitting down. Food also takes a while to get out to you but I think it's worth the wait. Atmosphere: feels like you are on the street but in a good way very unique feel and removes you from your surroundings
