Visiting for the first time, with their partnering under Summerlicious- it was a decent introduction to another space in the Roncesvalles area. The prix-fixe served some classics from the family's home country, as well as introducing a different way to some familiarly named foods.

Both were absolutely amazing—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The yucca fries were a standout: crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. And the dipping sauces? Out of this world. Everything was so tasty. Highly recommend!

Price/Value: ????? Atmosphere: ????? Service: ????? All I can say is WOW was this place a surprise. Came here for the first time and was delighted by the overall atmosphere/ambiance with the Latin music played throughout therestaurant really setting the mood. The staff were great as they immediately greeted and seated us while giving us some time toorder. 2 glasses with a jug of water was quickly served and after spending 5-10 minutes trying to figure out what to get due towhat felt like an overwhelming amount of options, our kind waitress suggested we try the Arepa Combo For Two for $36 to whichwe agreed to try with the following selections: 1. Empanadas: 1 Beef 1 Chicken. 2. Arepas: 2 Pabellon. 3. Sauces: Chipotle Wasacaca. The food was prepared very quickly, almost within 10-15 mins and when brought to our table, was extremelytantalizing. The yuca fries were some of the best if not the best fries I 've ever tasted while the empanada and arepa weredelicious! Almost ended up going to heaven half way through the meal haha. Our waitress kindly checked on us a few times to fillour jug and to make sure the food was to our liking. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this restaurant out andspecifically the Arepa Combo For Two as I feel it is worth the money for the amount of food you get. Will definitely be backto try more items from their menu!

We are vegetarian so we ordered the vegetarian arepa and one mushrooms and cheese and one spinach andbechamel empanadas. Also one of each deserts and two papelon. It took long time for the waitress to take our order and then tobe ready another while. However she was kind and asked us if everything was going well couple of times. Papelon wasdisappointing. Small portion and wired after taste. Not sweet or lemony. It supposed to be melted panela (pure cane sugar) withlemon. Usually makes me smile this drink because it reminds me Venezuela. But not this time. Arepa is in the small side and onlywith a small tajada (fried sweet plantain on top) beans were seasoned with sugar (as expected) and cheese was ok. The dippingsauce taste just like in Venezuela ????????. Yuca fries were the best. And the open Argentinian empanadas were delicious. Alsoin the small side though. Deserts not that good. The fried donut are tasteless and dense even with the dulce de leche sauce. Andthe alfajor was ok. I had high expectations, since I don’t get to eat often Venezuelan food and I miss it quite a lot. And Iwas a bit disappointed. Overall was ok.
