JennaAugust 13, 2014Try the arepa! So DELICIOUS! I like the avocado chicken salad on fried dough. It is also a fun place to eat outdoors. You can also order to takeout since it gets crowded and seating is limited.
Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014They have everything south of the border, including a variety of vegetarian fare. Guy found a taste of every Latin country, including amazing arepas stuffed so big they resemble overflowing clamshells Read more
Tia TurnerJuly 25, 2015I had a chicken sandwich and it was very tasty. No wait at 1pm on a Saturday. Someone noted that it only seats about a dozen but it seats at least 30 inside and there is a patio to add 16 or more
George VFebruary 17, 2013You have to try the Lomo Borracho. It's excellent. We try DDD restaurants all over the country. This one and Dough Pizzeria in San Antonio Texas are so far at the top of my list.
Samantha SmithJuly 7, 2013Absolutely delicious. Don't be in a hurry because the food is worth the wait. The Arepas and yuca frita is to-die-for and everything is fresh!
Anthony MOctober 16, 2011One of the best unknown places around! Featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! Raul is awesome! Go for your birthday too if you can.
John BakerJune 28, 2015Try the tequenos. My wife is Venezuelan and she say they are the closest thing she has had to the real deal
Taylor MaleyJuly 28, 2013Small, quaint, loud music, great food; be specific about what you want or you'll receive a different order.
Adrian FairNovember 12, 2011OMG! Best Latin food in DC Metro area! Must visit. Be sure to have reservations!
Kristin NelsonJanuary 29, 2011Great Saltenas! It's a tiny place that's always packed. Get there early and avoid the tables by the door...so cold!
Alex OrrNovember 13, 2010Very small place. Maybe holds a dozen people. I got there at 7:30 on a Friday night and the expected waitlist time over 90 minutes, so plan accordingly, either with reservations or other options.
Washingtonian MagazineNovember 22, 2011We recommend: Arepa sifrina; JP’s Favorite arepa; diputado; pabellón criollo.
Pat BMay 12, 2012Be ready for a long outing. Took over an hour to get entrees. Food was good though.
