Stopped by with a guest to try the cuisine for the first time.
Service was good and the atmosphere was inviting.
The food on the other hand was a bit below par. We started with the mini empanadas; it came with 2 ground beef, 2 shredded chicken, 1 cheese.
The Ground beef had a distinct flavor, we couldn't quite figured out the seasoning and the flavor didn't quite hit the mark.
The chicken were on the bland side.
The cheese was just mozzarella cheese.
The empanada dough did have good flavor. We tried two of their stuffed arepas; shredded chicken and Reina Pepiada.
The chicken was bland and the Reina Pepiada was too mayonnaise heavy.
The arepas themselves were too dense and the texture was unappealing. My guest and I ordered the Pabellón Criollo: I ordered it with shredded beef and my guest ordered it with a steak.
We both ordered it with the egg over easy and the steak medium rare.
The eggs both came out over hard and the steak came out well done.
The rice was good, the beans tasted like they came out of a can and only the cheese gave it flavor.
The shredded beef did have good flavor but the plantains weren't sweet as they were still a bit green.
The arepita was deep fried and was as dense as the stuffed arepas; it wasn't good.
I ordered the house aji and it was just canned pickled jalapeños and carrots blended up. They've been opened for 3yrs but I don't think we'll be returning any time soon.
The food was lacking in flavor; very little effort is being put into the food.

Maracaibos is the legit real deal Venezuelan restaurant.
The food is so delicious that its absurd.
The folks that work there will take care of you and speak both Spanish and English.
They were super sweet.
Highly recommended!

First time here, the food was delicious.
The hostess was great.
It has a home feeling atmosphere!!
