  “Came here yesterday with a friend for a little dinner date. We was greeted with immaculate service and great food. On arrival we was told service was a little slow as there was only one person on the floor and one chef in the kitchen, yet food was still on our table within 30 minutes, piping hot fresh and absolutely delicious. I would highly highly recommend”

  “The food was way beyond any expectations I had!!! 5 STARS As I walked past the mouth watering smell is what drew us into this fine establishment. The sugar cane lemonade is everything to write home about, the starters were soo flavourful, the mains were amazing, tender meat, flavourful sauces and literal silence with every bite. Couldn't have found a nicer place to spend my evening with friends. 10/10. 100% recommended”

  “Came on a drizzley June Saturday after a workout and got a table no problem but there was still a good spill of people. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Dine in order: Cheese pastries with guava - 7.5/10 Arepa with chicken & yucca fries - 8.5/10 I’ve not really had Venezuelan food but this was delicious! I want to come back and try more. The cheese pastries taste like American pilsbury crescent rolls wrapped around a soft block of sweet soft cheese (nothing like what you buy in the market for bagels but real cheese). The guava sauce is amazing I would’ve wanted more! Good to share so you can have 1-1.5. Would recommend! The chicken arepa was so bright but also so simple. The chicken is like a shredded chicken mayo salad, the mashed avocado adds a lot of comfort, the melted cheese adds some good flavor and a little oil, and the fried plantain is just to die for - it’s so hot and crispy! And the arepa breading itself is so light and simple. Amazing! The yuca fries are a lot of fun as well though I probably didn’t need them (I prefer thin crispy fries va thicker chips), however they were fried perfectly and crisp and the dipping sauce was a nice touch. Would recommend!”

  “Unexpected nice... food, service and atmosphere! All freshly prepared, hot, tasty. The beef is juucy. It goes very well with fried banana. The corn bread is crispy and full of favour. The lemonade is not to miss. It is home made!”

  “I recently visited this restaurant and, unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations. First, there is quite a lot to improve regarding the interior. The space feels messy and not very cohesive, which takes away from the overall dining experience. Given that the food concept is different and may not be familiar to everyone, I would strongly suggest a more welcoming approach from staff, including offering a brief explanation of the menu if needed. That small gesture could really enhance the customer experience. There also seems to be a mismatch between what is advertised on the website and what is actually available in the restaurant. In particular, there is very limited drink variety compared to what is promoted online. If certain options are no longer available, this should be updated to avoid confusion. The seating is another area for improvement. The stools feel low quality—almost like children’s furniture—which does not match the price point of the restaurant. Speaking of prices, they are quite high compared to other restaurants offering similar food and portion sizes. For the value received, it feels overpriced. I would also not recommend ordering through Deliveroo based on my personal experience. I tried twice, and both times the delivery took hours. I won’t go into further details, but it was disappointing enough that I would not repeat it. Overall, the atmosphere is very different from what you might expect from a Latino restaurant. Personally, I would not return. I would only recommend giving it a try once if you’re curious, but be aware that there are similar options available at better value elsewhere. Total paid: 72£ two people”

  “Phenomenal food and atmosphere! The flavors transported me back to my year as a student abroad in Barquisimeto Venezuela. Adorably modern and warm atmosphere. Smooth Bossa Nova, Salsa, and Bachata music add to the brilliant experience. So many choices made it so easy for everyone in our family to find something delicious that met our dietary needs.”

  “Easy to get a table on a Friday evening. Food comes out quick. Our favourite dish ordered was the teqenuos with cheese and guava sauce. The pastry was amazing. The bunuelos were good with whipped feta but a little heavy. I wished the black bean and cheese arepita needed a sauce or vegetable. We paid £45 for two people, but we ordered quite a bit.”
