Wow!! So glad we opted for this place than the typical restaurants at U District. There are barely any legitimate South American restaurants here in Seattle and this place is... read more a gem! One thing though, their online app to place your orders don’t reflect ALL the food options that’s available in the restaurant, so I would suggest ordering in person! They have way more options and special platters in person. AREPAS: my first time eating it and it won’t be my last!! The sweet plantains were so good and one arepa was sooo filling! I was full for hours!!! The shell was very crunchy and they loaded it UP! Add an extra egg in it! So delicious. We got the #4 - pabellon! COLOMBIAN EMPANADAS: WOW!!! Soo good!! Highly recommend! I don’t know what kind of shell it is in but even after a 2 hour walk back home from the restaurant, the shell was STILL crunchy??? The lid to the box was all closed too. I don’t understand this magic??? The beef one was delicious! TAQUENOS: the guava and cheese one was soo good and such a surprise! The pictures of these online make these items seem more crunchy but the ones we got were more bready, but still good! VENEZUELAN EMPANADAS: these were much bigger and not as crunchy as the Colombian ones and the filling was all cheese. I wasn’t a big fan of this one. SAMPLER PLATE: $14 in all I think and came with plaintains, empanadas (3), tequenos, yuca fries, and one more thing! Can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu!! The meals are pretty pricey though! 3 empanadas were about $11 and 1 arepa is about $13! The sample platter seems like a good deal ($14) for an assortment of treats, but they were sadly out of it that day. Fyi it seems like the prices have jumped up from a year ago - if you look at pics of menu uploaded a year ago, the empanadas and arepas were in the $8 range (more reasonable), and barely a year later, it’s $11-$13. 🙁

Delish! The steak arepa is divine. Inside and patio seating available. Large portions of food. You'll be craving these arepas after you have them! Variety of sauces... read more to choose from, too.

Aside from the food being as close as you can get to authentic venezuelan/colombian (coming from a colombian born and raised) and keeping their menu simple and delicious, they have... read more this sign and its something I’ve never seen in a restaurant. Such a clever way to educate their customers and also make your waste disposal easy and organized. You can tell they are intentional on everything they do. Thank you
