My husband and I visited this restaurant earlier this month, and we were excited to try the Venezuelan menu. We opted for the Sampler Plate. Personally, I was surprised by the small portion size on this plate; it was almost like an appetizer before the main course! Please don't market this plate as a sharing option for two very hungry adults. When we asked if it was enough to share, the lady confirmed that it would be adequate, but unfortunately, it wasn't true.
We also ordered Mora and Passion Fruit juices, both of which were delicious. We highly recommend them! As an American-Venezuelan, I left the restaurant still hungry and disappointed.
P.S.: If I visit this place again, I'll try individual dishes, and then I'll update my review of this restaurant. For now, this is my current perspective.

Wow! One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. This food was absolutely delicious. If I could give this place a 10 stars I would. I also want to mention the lady at the counter was very friendly. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you much!

This place is the bomb. I *thought* I had the best arepas when I was in Denver. I WAS WRONG! Santarepa is an amazing little gem with remarkably wonderful food. We came in just after a lunch rush & noticed there were a total of 4 employees trying to keep up with the demand of placing orders, making orders and getting orders out to tables. Because of this, we had to wait a bit to have our order taken. When the woman got to us she apologetic about the wait. We also had to wait for them to get food out to the 5-6 tables ahead of us. Understandable and not a big deal! The chicken was cooked perfectly & so were the plantains. Each arepa was stuffed full with goodness. If you are willing to wait for quality food that is damn near life changing, I highly recommend. If you are looking for fast food service for mediocre food, this isn’t the place for you.

Came here on a whim and left beyond pleased. We were in Santa Fe for my Birthday and decided to stop in. Isabel, our host, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The food was fantastic! We will make this a must visit stop whenever we are in town.

We were very happy to find this place during our trip to Santa Fe. There were so many yummy items on the menu that we decided to order the Sampler 1 to get a taste of many of them. We mixed vegetarian and non vegetarian arepas and empanadas, everything was delicious!! The service and hospitality were fantastic; and the final espresso with steam milk was the best in town! We wish we had a place like this back home in Texas!

We tried this little café in Santa Fe NMX just to eat something different. This was our first time trying Venezuelan food so we had the Super Sampler platter for my daughter and myself. The service was a little slow due to all the orders they had. I enjoyed a glass of red wine while I waited and I tell you it was worth the wait. Scrumptious. A must try oh and its super clean.

Tried an arepa (Freddy's favorite) and loved it! Attentive and friendly service, quality ingredients, great presentation, and pleasant outdoor seating at this must-try cafe for tourists and locals alike.
I can't imagine anything on the menu not being tasty, but I do recommend an arepa if you haven't tried one in the past.

“This is the best meal we had all trip”
Went with the Super Sampler. More food than 2 could eat, but a fantastic tour of the cuisine. Hostess was very helpful suggesting combinations and things to try. Everything was delicious. Chimichurri and cream sauces were delicious.
If I went again I’d get a full arepa and plantains. Easy choice.
