A hidden jewel of Venezuelan food in Boston. Everything I recall from my childhood, from the unique flavor of arepas and plátanos fritos, to the warmth of its people. It’s all there. I will return to Boston, if to dream I have returned to the flavors, colors, and passions of the Venezuela of my best memories.

Portions are a bit small for the price but everything tasted really good and it was fun to try different Venezuelan dishes. Datiles and empanadas were my favorites

Best brunch in a long time. Since it’s off the path it also isn’t as busy as the other restaurants in Harvard. You SHOULD go here, it was delicious. Midianoche was fabulous but the cachapa con chicharron was the best. Love love love the empanadas and will definitely be back.

Great Venezuelan food! Definitely recommend the chicken adobo and any of their arepas. Service is quick, and their location in Cambridge has a cool outdoor patio area for you to eat and drink outside, which in Harvard is tough to find. Definitely would visit again!

Very good quality Venezuelan food, good ambience, friendly service. The quantities looked small (thankfully, yay to not serving US portions) but the food was rich. Not overwhelming. They also have an amazing whole bottle of chilli sauce on your table! Prices are surprisingly reasonable.

Venezuela cuisine is very rare. This was a good experience. I don’t remember the name of the dishes, but the potato dish is really good. I love the white sauce on it!!!

Overall I had a great experience! The meats were slightly overcooked/dry but still good nonetheless. Would still recommend.
