Melissa Ashley • December 3, 2013Unique twist to cultural cuisine. With the dining casual style of Moe's, this Venezuelan grill serves amazing portions of arepas, Guasaca guacamole + salad/bowl options. Added bonus: affordable!

Allicat22 W. • July 20, 2019Beef & bacon sliders are really good, also the sesame tuna. The veggies with the tuna were a wee bit too salty with soy sauce. NY strip was really tasty & tender. Huge bourbon & whiskey choices.
