Such an incredible experience getting our office birthday lunch catered by Hola Café! The staff was terrific and were so kind and inviting. The food was impeccable and was packaged so perfectly. Will, without a doubt, be getting another catering order from them again in the future!

I’ve never eaten Venezuelan food. What an awesome experience. Absolutely delicious and the staff has been wonderful. They’ve helped explain a different types of food and help us order. Thank you so much for such a great experience. I definitely recommend this place

Wanted to try something new. I was shocked to find this delicious restaurant. Haven’t really heard any buzz about it but it is amazing! Came back a second time 2 days later. The food is unbelievable! It is so fresh and so consistently flavourful. We started with Tequeno. Never had them before and I’m addicted. Nice flaky bread wrapped around melted gooey cheese. So decadent. Then we shared a trip it was shredded chicken/avocado, pork, chicken with a corn pancake with cheese. So rich and filling it was heaven. Also tried a Arapes my goodness I love the freshness. Everything is just so fresh out of the oven perfect. The ladies were so nice and helped guide us in picking things out. I highly recommend bringing friends and everyone get a different dish then share. So many wonderful tastes to explore here.
I will be coming back many times in the near future. I probably should up my gym time to offset the calories.

Update: service has changed a lot. The full is still good, but customer service it’s none existent.
Original review:
The place is very well maintained, and enjoyable, they put background music which makes the atmosphere better. We went for lunch time, and the place was empty until about 12:30pm when it become very busy.
We had the sancocho, pabellón, and the cachapas with pork, which three typical Venezuelan plates. The desert they have tres leches and quesillo, which is like an egg pudding. They have natural juices, including mango and passion fruit. The food was extremely healthy and tasty! It can be a bit pricey though.

Food was okay, wasn’t all that flavorful. Definitely authentic service as well, all of our food came at different times.

The waiter was so patienttttt to explain each item including the ingredients even though he struggled, the he pulled out his phone with more pictures of the food. 10/10 for that dedication. Food is great, most are fried, a lil heavy for breakfast but not too bad for a quick snack stop.

First time visiting this Venezuelan cafe, i have a lot of Venezuelan friends so i wanted to try this place. I visited during lunch and they have some sort of lunch special, soup and main dish like grilled chicken, beef stew, shredded chicken (pollo mechado) , shredded beef(carne mechada), all of them are served with a choice of white rice, boiled potatoes, beans, salad.
The arepas were good just like my friends make them. During lunch you picked your food and either seat or take it home(self serve) but some waiters handle you the sodas. Looking forward to a visit after 4pm when they have the a la carte service. They just barely opened. The cashier told me yesterday. The cashier was very kind and answer some of my questions and some of the servers stopped by the table to ask if we need it anything else.
Primera vez visitando este restaurante Venenzolano…Tengo amigos venezolanos y queria probar este lugar. Llegue para el almuerzo y a esta hora solo hay el especial del dia, Pollo a la plancha, Carne guisada, Arepas, servidas con opcion de arroz, papas sancochadas , frejoles, ensalada. El especial del dia incluye el refresco y sopa de vegetales. El especial del dia es 9.99. Espero visitarlos durante la cena que es cuando sirven a la carta. La cajera fue muy amable en contestar mis preguntas. La persona sirviendo los platos tambien muy amable y se tomo el tiempo de explicarme como eran servidos los platos. Las meseras preguntaron un par de veces si nos hacia falta algo. Se que recien abrieron, me dijeron que ayer…espero regresar pronto.

BEST AREPA PLACE AROUND
I have tried various arepa places and I always find myself comparing them to Hola Cafe arepas. I’m Mexican and I am fairly new to the Venezuelan cuisine, but Hola Cafe has cemented my admiration for Arepas. I highly recommend this place.
Only downside… It’s around $10 for a decent sized arepa. Kinda pricey but these are the only ones I don’t mind paying the price for…
Their Pelua Arepa (Beef) is my all time favorite and ask for the spicy red salsa for a kick.

All was going good, until the laddie get upset with us for no reason! When we left we said Gracias and she did a face of who got very angry with us! We consumed $55 and we left $12 tip, so for sure this wasn’t the reason, we guess that was the mojito that she did for us and we didn’t drink half, was with so much sugar that was impossible! Or maybe some faces that we did when we was trying to drink! Anyway, Again I say, services is 50% if you don’t handle your emotions don’t take this position! Food was ok 3 star…. The meat was pre-done, rice taste less…
