“ Very good tasting food.. good place to try Venezuelan food in Madrid ???????? ”
“ Quick, easy, located in the Barcelo market on the top floor. I got it to go so I could eat in the park, but there are chairs and tables around. A little loud as it is a market. So fulfilling. If you need a good arepa, I recommend here. ”
“ Very good place to get some Venezuelan food in Madrid. Everything seems fresh, homemade, and delicious. All the items I tried were flavorful and I’d recommend them all. I got to try their cachapa con queso de mano, empanada de pollo (chicken empanada), empanada de plantano y queso (plantain and cheese empanada), and the salsa ajo y perejil (garlic sauce). Everything was near perfect. The cachapa was a very reasonable price for the portion. It came with a lot of added cheese on top, which was a bit stringy and not the most flavorful. But, the cheese on the inside was delicious. The cachapa corn bits were refreshing and so flavorful. Really enjoyed it. Both of the empanadas were also really good. The chicken empanada was packed with flavorful shredded chicken. It was crispy on the outside and not too bread or too greasy. It was a tad bit too dry on the inside, but the sauce helped make up for that. That sauce is delicious; it’s creamy too. The plantain and cheese empanada was also pretty stellar. I didn’t care too much for the cheese, as it didn’t have that much flavor, but the plantains — those were delicious. Very sweet and tender. Would definitely recommend trying them as a side or in this empanada. All in all, I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The food is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. All the items I had get a thumbs up from me. ”
“ Great small shop with really high quality Venezuelan food. The service was fast and attentive. The dish presentation was beautiful. The chicha and the papelon con limon were also really good. Highly recommend this place. There are limited seating areas in this restaurant. ”
