What diners are saying
Diners celebrate this Venezuelan spot for its flavorful Patacones (smashed plantain sandwiches), with the Paisa Patacon featuring steak, chorizo, and avocado being a standout favorite. Guests rave about the crispy yuca fries and the trio of complimentary sauces, though some recommend opting for sweet plantains over green for a softer texture. While the small, intimate space and touch-screen ordering system draw mixed reactions, reviewers consistently praise the generous portions and friendly staff, making it a worthy destination for hearty, messy meals.
