Great 6ood at Great Prices

by CSMobileUser

I found this place around Easter just by chance. At first I thought it was Colombian, which I just adore since I lived there. I came in not knowing what to expect. It looks like a tiny hole in the wall from the outside. I shouls mention this place is Venezuelan place, but the first thing I noticed were the immaculately bright colored walls and warm, home-like decor on the walls. I ordered the pabellon arepa, which includes shreaded beef, black beans, mozzarella cheese, and sweet plantains sandwich style. It was excellent and very filling. The other items I recommend are the sangria, both red and white, which is sweet and strong with tons of apples, oranges, and grapes poured into a large glass. The fruit juices and smoothies are awesome. Try the mora, a South American blackberry that is tangy sweet-tart and the pineapple, which is always a winner. You get a bowl of plantain chips (they are fried platains that are cut thinly and dried) that are served with garlic olive oil sauce and taste like Pringle's. I live in the Bronx and I look forward to coming back. Try it!

Best Latin American food ever!

by queenmarcie

As soon as you walk in, the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff puts you at ease. The decor is from Venezuela and Columbia set in an intimate space. The food served is all made with fresh ingredients. The chef is an expert at bring out the flavors and blend them together. Everything I had there was delicious. Plus the prices are no where near what the more trendy places charge yet the food is better than all of them. This place is awesome.

• Pros: cosy decor, intimate feeling, great food, music selections to reflect the mood of the moment, good value
• Cons: Non that I could see.

Excellent Sangria - - Great food

by mtk75

I have been watching this restaurant move along for the past few months and it seems like they are really hitting their stride. They started serving dinner over the summer and most everything I have tried has been great. I tried delivery to my office and it was such a nice change form the normal deli sandwich or pizza i seem to be feeding my face with everyday. Its real small but so far getting a table has not been a problem. Hopefully that will not always be the case because i hope they will be around the neighborhood for a while.

• Pros: Comfortable neighborhood joint
• Cons: Under the bridge
