Food was absolutely delicious, my wife created her own bowl and it was very fulfilling. I ordered a double cheeseburger combo and the burger was fresh as well as the fries. When ordering at the counter the service was simple and quick. There is bar like seating inside against the walls and a few tables on the outside. Just a heads up if you eat outside it’s on a fairly busy street, so you’ll get the sounds of cars and whatever music they’re listening too! Restaurant is kept very clean and the music is kept at a good volume. We will be returning for the milkshakes for sure!
Me and my partner recently went and all I can say is that the customer service was Amazing. The guy who helped me was great and very kind. The food is a great amount that will make you full. The price is reasonable. I will be going back!!
Ordered on Uber Eats. I enjoyed all the food. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Well seasoned, the bun was fluffy, well balanced ratio of meat, not overly salty but not bland. The fries are seasoned nicely on the outside, crispy, delicious, warm and fluffy on the inside. Very good. I will order from here again.
I absolutely love this spot. You can tell the food is made with love and passion. The portions are very big and filling as well. I definitely recommend. I’ve never tried their milkshakes but the presentation is gorgeous and their fries are amazing.
Wow, what an amazing Venezuelan restaurant! We ordered takeout, and our food was ready on time. The staff was incredibly kind, and the food was both delicious and affordable. So much better than chipotle. We’ll definitely be coming back! The yuca fries were to die for!
Workers were so nice, food presentation was spot on and lots of options/ food variety. Prices were reasonable. The restaurant is in my neighborhood. Had the VenezuelaN burger was juicy and flavorful. Would definitely come again.
Super yummy and affordable! I got a delicious burger It was well seasoned and juicy even though it was cooked through. It tasted homemade The fries were super crispy and fluffy on the inside
Build your own bowl was stunning. So flavoursome and a massive portion. The ration between veg, meat and rice was perfect. And the cilantro sauce is to die for. Great place, would 100% recommend.
