Description

Perched on the ocean in Shelter Cove, this family-run Venezuelan spot serves authentic empanadas, fresh fish and standout sangria alongside bright, fresh‑squeezed cocktails. Sheltered indoor seating with glass walls and expansive outdoor/upper-level views make sunsets and live violin especially memorable. Service is warm and attentive and plates generally arrive quickly, though busy nights can slow things down. Prices are moderate and parking is free—note the remote location can mean weak cell reception and no guest Wi‑Fi.

Delicious food, nice outside seating and great desserts. Rice bowel with chicken was excellent. Service was great.

Maria and her two sisters-in-law are the best ever! This place is sooo soooo good is 100% Venezuelan with authentic Venezuelan cooks and Venezuelan delicious food! It's a hidden gem in the north of California! Thank you for being one of the best experiences on my trip to the north of the USA! I loved meeting the girls from Cumaná and the delicious empanadas that reminded me of Puerto la Cruz and when I ate empanadas at the U.D.O!!!! :

The food was pretty good! Not my favorite, but it was decent food. Went there on a pretty busy day with a party of 4 and it took very long to get our food or to have a waitress check up on us. Not their fault though, the place was pretty much fully packed, but it was still a little disappointing. If you plan on coming here, coming when it's a little less full would probably improve your experience. : Food: 4

Bay Area restaurant quality cuisine, in the hidden gem that is Shelter Cove. The food is delicious, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is friendly, for kids too. You must try the empanadas!
