Very quaint restaurant! Beautiful, vibrant colors and decor. The food was tasty, and fresh. Venezuelan food has a unique overall selection; with some shared elements with other central/South American cuisines. The staff here is very nice, and attentive. Food was freshly made, and very fast. Each dish had a great taste profile. There is a parking lot for customers south of the restaurant/street front. Plenty of spot there! The chicken breast dish was tasty, and simple (in a good way!). The yucca fries were different and nice! Overall everyone enjoyed their dishes! I would not say the fusible has a very strong/rich taste (like Thai/Indian food might…but it is still nice!). Plenty of seating indoors, and a few outdoor spots under a covered tarp. Wishing this place well!

My first time trying Venezuelan food was here and it was very good. They sadly don’t serve patacón so instead I ordered arepas and they were incredible. I highly recommend going !!

I was attended by Daniel and he was very nice during the transaction. I ordered the pabellón arepa and agua de panela which although it was a bit pricey. It’s worth for the quality of the arepa. Perfectly shedded cheese with shredded beef. The beans were superb and the agua de panela is wonderful drink to conclude the meal. He even asked how my meal which was courteous of him. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re in Pasadena or in LA.

First time trying this place and I’m coming back. Friendly service and great tasty food. We ordered the conchino frito arepa and the tequeno de queso, both had so much flavor that you don’t even need to dip it in the sauce. The sauce was the extra cherry on the top, the garlic was my favorite. The spicy sauce wasn’t too spicy/hot if you are concerned with it being too hot.

We chose this Venezuelan restaurant for his high rate. We didn’t feel it was amazing. Food was definitely fresh and made upon order. They offer some vegan/vegetarian options. Arepas don’t have much flavors even though they gave us some sauces. We tried two kinds. Drinks are not homemade but with powder. The lady was not great because my friend talked to her in Spanish and answered her in English. I think it was not respectful at all. Locals eat there as we could have seen. Definitely not our place but maybe yours. Price is a bit high for the food and drinks served.

My husband and I came up from San Diego to try this place based on the recommendation from some friends. We were not disappointed at all! We kept ordering different dishes to try as much as we could. The flavors are rich and so delicious. The service was awesome with very friendly staff. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting to try some incredible Venezuelan cuisine!

This is the only place that satisfied my Arepa cravings. Amazing service very accommodating. Felt at home. Accidentally ordered the wrong drink and they were nice enough to let me have another for free. Last time I had an arepa this genuine was in Washington or at a Venezuelan home. I waited many years and tried numerous locations. Chamo is it. Chamo is the spot!!! Come support!
