Located in the Make Ready Market next to Pescado & Eet. Parking is free for the first hour. Street parking from 8th& Alamo all the way to the market. Arrived Friday at 8pm to order, closes at 10. Cashier was great. It's a decent size market that wasnt too crowded with plenty of seating on a Friday night during fiesta!
I was excited to try a new food spot for my solo dinner/reading time! I checked the ig of all the restaurants and chose this Venezuelan restaurant. The food looks delicious! It was quick to come out! I didn't get much of a flavor profile in my opinion. There wasn't spice or flavor besides cheese and avocado tbh. The arepa had a texture, crispy bite but fluffy chew. It had a few sauces (doesn't say what kind on the menu board) mixed in with the cheese that didn't offer variety or anything to boost or enhance the food. The bowl was pretty standard with the only new thing for me being the sweet plantains. Plantains we a potato like texture but again no real flavor. The beans, rice, avocado, pick and sauces didn't expand any flavoring. It was all base taste of the ingredients with nothing to heighten the dish. I never had Venezuelan food and I couldn't tell you at all what it taste like. Spicy? Nope. Savory? I dont know. Sweet? Nah. Basic. Sadly yes. If you're a vegetarian, you won't find much flavor here. Maybe if I got a bowl with meat I would have seen more taste but I mean I did have like four different sauces and none made a flavor appearance.
Passion fruit juice was delicious. Best part of my meal, I ordered another while I ate some fries from another place and read my book!
Maybe i caught them on an off night considering all other reviews. I'll return and re evaluate for a fair shot.
