This is a very nice restaurant. The food and service were top notch. We sat on the second floor which had really nice views too. Please note: This is in a historic building so handicapped available seating is limited to a couple of downstairs tables.
I would enjoy coming back for another meal here.

My brother and I enjoyed a delicious dinner here before seeing a concert in Troy. The location was perfect as located on the walk from the Courtyard Hotel to the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. The back windows and patio face the riverfront so I want to return in the warmer weather to really enjoy the view as it was freezing this visit. The staff was warm and welcoming and I had a great conversation with the owner. For starters, we enjoyed the Yuka Frita with their four housemade sauces. The flavors were great and it was nice trying a new root vegetable. For the main course, we both selected the Pabellon Criollo which was equally as tasty. A simple dish with meat, white rice and beans with fried egg. I didn’t need to use any sauces as the flavors were satisfying alone. There are so many things that I want to try when I come back. I was visiting from CT, but since there is good hiking and other activities in the area, I plan to be back. This is a great choice to try latin food prepared and served by nice people.

Excellent service
100% Fruit juice loved it!
The cachapa is almost perfect, missing only our soft cheese but I know how hard is to come by that.

Had a light lunch with the ‘Sopa de Pollo’ (chicken soup) and a side of Black Beans. The meal came with four sauces. Tried them on the black beans and they all nicely enhanced the dish. The soup was a little salty for my taste but most people would like it as is.
The service was good. Fortunately, the Venezuelan (I assume based on the stated “Authentic Venezuelan Food” on the menu.) waitress understood and could speak English (I know some French and Italian but no Spanish).
Atmosphere was delightful with both indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor had a Hispanic theme and display. Outdoor was roomy with tables and most having umbrellas.

This little restaurant serves the best arepas I’ve ever had. I had the Reina arepas and a delicious and refreshing tamarind juice. There’s also an outdoor patio overlooking the river. I highly recommend this cute eatery when in Troy.

I was in town for just a few days but when I was looking for places to grab some dinner this place caught my eye.
I’m glad I made the decision to visit. All of the restaurants I visited while I was in town were great, but the food here was able to satisfy a craving that none of the other stops could satisfy.
With so many great restaurants in the area I would suggest adding this one to the list of you are in the area.
The staff was great at suggesting their menu options, the sauces were spot on, and the tres leches was so sweet and moist.

We were very late for our reservation, but but served as quickly and kindly, as we were also late for our event. The food was almost as described in the menu, but good vegetarian options good wine by the glass

We just finished our family brunch and got back to the hotel. With not much to do outside in winter, I thought I’d write a review for the Venezuelan food we just ate. We LOVE the food, my 9-yr daughter who has already developed appetite and criteria for food, commented she could eat there all day long! Everything from the appetizer, to drink, coffee and dessert is delicious! And I wanted to add, all the custom-made sauces are fresh and tasty! The owner was very attentive. Not many customers around at that time, we were able to have a conversation about the food and the place. He showed us the ingredient in its original form and told us how the specific foods are prepared in different ways. My 9-yr old enjoyed it so much. Also, the art pieces created by the family member are so authentic and interesting, adding so much flare to the place.
Thanks for giving us a wonderful food and culture experience on our trip! We’ll be back for more!

I first dined in with a friend who recommended this food. I like a good arepa but these arepas and cachapas are an A+. Every bite is delicious and the service is great. I’ve been back a few times and continue to recommend to all I know. I can’t wait to go again. Please don’t ever close!

Much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Plenty of space but limited service (one wait staff) but service was still good. Took awhile for the food to arrive since we were a large party but It was delicious and filling and left us pretty happy.
