Menu

A complete menu of Cariaco from Glendale featuring all 34 meals and drinks can be found here on the menu.

A compact Venezuelan spot delivers consistently fresh, deeply flavorful arepas, empanadas, tequeños and hearty pabellón criollo, plus vegetarian-friendly choices and a small market selling cheese. Portions are satisfying though prices lean high; seating is limited, making takeout and delivery popular. Service ranges from warmly attentive to brusque and drink prep can be inconsistent, but many praise the authentic flavors and repeat-worthiness. Ideal for first-timers and food lovers seeking bold, homey Venezuelan fare in the Los Angeles area.

What Łîzz P dislikes about Cariaco:
About three weeks ago, I ordered a hot cocoa, and they served me half a cup of some strange chocolate that wasn't hot enough. The taste was terrible. Don’t they know how to make hot chocolate? View all feedback.

The empanada had a delightful blend of sweetness and crispiness that was just perfect. Normally, I lean more towards spicy dishes, but this was a great balance of both (it might not be spicy enough for my fellow Latinx and Black friends, but for you white folks, it might bring the heat!). Both times, the food was served hot and fresh. I would definitely rate it a perfect 10/10!

Best Arepas! The pabellon is my favorite dish! I always call ahead for ten minutes, and it's ready by the time I arrive.
