The most authentic Venezuelan food I’ve had in Pittsburgh! Super high quality meats and ingredients. Definitely recommend the patacones, arepas, and pepitos.

We’d walked past this place all week and never during their open hours. Finally lucked out about 30 minutes before they closed and ordered the pork and Gouda arepa to go. Y’all. It was the best thing I ate in Pittsburgh. The pork was moist and flavorful and the cheese was piled on thick and the arepa cornmeal was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside and Y’ALL, the green sauce that came with it — it was GARLICY.

It was absolutely delicious!! One of our favorite South American dish! Will definitely go there again! Especially before going to Riverhound soccer game. It’s right down your alley!

Food is okay, service is poor. 20 minute wait time online while I order, but when I show up to pick up my food I wait for 40 additional minutes. The $5 “street corn” is just corn on the cob dunked in mayo. The arepa‘s are solid.

BUEN PROVECHO! A foodie’s gem. AMONG THE BEST VENEZOLANO restaurants I’ve ever visited in my GLOBAL travels. Pittsburgh has the chance to enjoy AUTHENTIC gustatory and cultural delight. (Oh if you like empanadas, this is best place to savor an authentic one from South America).

Really good food and great service. You can even pick up some items you don’t typically see at a regular grocery store. I grabbed a bag of plantain chips that were really good. Stop here for something new and different!

I have never tried Venezuelan food, and the last time I tried Latin American food, I was disappointed. So I was skeptical when I ordered from Uber Eats. However, when I tried my food, I was blown away. I had 2 shredded beef empanadas, 2 bacon and Gouda cheese empanadas, cachapa, and quesillo.

Amazing food and super kind staff. We first had the yuca fries at a food truck event a few years ago and knew we had to find them again. So glad they were easy to find! I highly recommend visiting this restaurant and trying a bit of everything! We got a few dishes to try (a bit too much for both of us but hey that means leftovers) and loved everything!

Small place with some local charm. Parking was easy on this part of E. Carson Street as there is on street parking with payment. The restaurant looked clean and we were the only ones there. Ordered at counter and was told that it would be 15 minutes to get our food. Way too long as we were the only ones there. But apparently pick up orders get priority.
