Overall good but not great

Was super excited to try their vegan menu and I love arepas and empanadas. It was just… okay. I got an Impossible beef empanada and it had so much oil… the oil was going everywhere. There also wasn’t really much of anything mixed in with said beef like in the description, it was like 99.9% impossible beef. On a positive note the empanada exterior was quite good!
Our food took a full hour to be prepared rather than the 20-30 quoted. Last but not least the empanada was $9 which is pretty high considering the quality and size. I don’t think I will dine here again. It was like a 2.5/5 for me.

Not-so-scary Venezuelan experience

This is actually my first experience at Venezuelan food, and I had no idea what to order. I never ate South America cuisine, so I was recommended the Vegan Pabellón Criollo. The meal was actually pretty good, something I could put together at home. I can now say that I’ve tried South America food.

South American Sandwich

Ordering is done digitally on a tablet. The Impossible Vegan Patacón is a sandwich made with two thin crispy slices of fried plantain instead of bread. It's filled with Impossible ground beef, vegan salad supreme, Ched-Shred cheese, pickles, avocado, ketchup, and mustard. The ordering system had no option to omit ingredients, so I wrote "no avocado" in the "Special Requests," but it was overlooked. I liked the plantains, but their hardness caused the fillings to fall out when biting. The ketchup and mustard overpowered the other ingredients. Overall, it was decent, but nothing special, especially for the price.

Pros: vegan menu, reusable dishes, outdoor seating

Cons: overpriced
