Reviews

On a short visit to Chicago from our home in Nashville, we passed by to grab a quick meal.
The food was fresh and hot, and the flavors were to die for.
It's definitely hard coming by and buying authentic Venezuelan food, but the dishes here are the best you'll find outside of Venezuela itself.


Got two tequeños order and did not enjoy them at all, the only flavor we got was the one for an overused frying oil.
My husband and I agreed on that.
Horrible taste.
