Friendly staff and food was good overall. Chorizo- savory, juicy, and a little bit of spice 4/5 Lamb chops- a little overcooked but good flavor with the pistachios 4/5 Ribs- overcooked and pretty chewy The sauce was overly sweet too and tasted generic 2/5 Overall the food was good tasting, besides the ribs, but tendes to be overcooked. Overall a 3.5 but .I plan to come here again and try some of the more authentic plates and hope there is a bit more attention kept on the cooking times, which would make a huge difference

It was my first time dining at Orinoco and it was an excellent experience.
The atmosphere is inviting and distinctive, felt inviting after a long day.
I got an Empanada Verde and Orinoco Mojito to start, a mixed salad and Parrilla Caraqueña for my main, and Quesillo for dessert.
I stray away from mojitos because of sweetness but I figured to give it a chance and I wasn’t disappointed.
It had the right balance and one of my favorite mojitos I’ve ever had.
The empanada had me wishing I ordered more.
The main entree was excellent, hats off to the kitchen staff.
The chicken, steak, chorizo, and yuca fries cooked to perfection.
The flavor/seasonings were balanced, and didn’t beg of anything else (sauces, etc.).
I usually don’t go for dessert but I’d say the quesillo would be a dessert to treat yourself to.
Lastly, the service was incredible.
Very warm, attentive, and informative, Philip and Daniel are what made the experience for me, and are the reason I will return.
Highly recommend, you won’t regret giving Orinoco a try.
I’m looking forward to trying out more of their menu.

Thank you for visiting, Josiah!

Pretty funky place we stopped in after the Northeastern graduation.
The waitress made sure we ordered enough food and she was right on the money. We ordered Trio de Empanadas, Costillita/short ribs, Arepa Domino, and beverages. We were so hungry and the food was so good, we realized everything was gone and we hadn't taken a single picture.
Bummer.
The decor was cool, so we took several photos of that.
