“ I absolutely love this restaurant. I have been here several times. Let me point out that I am not a Venezuelan. But I have friends that are and they recommended this restaurant. I am a foodie so I love all different kinds of food. I think the owner is la mora...you should check out her tik toks. But I drive all the way from San Antonio to come eat here. I have had several different plates and they have ALL been delicious!! This is one of my favorite places to eat when I come to Houston. I love the arepa fries. The parrilla plate is full of meat and cheese and yuca fries with a great chimichurri sauce...it a great plate to share with friends and family. If you want to try Venezuela food this is the place to try and get hooked on!! ”
