First time eating Venezuelan food. At lunch, the service was a little slow. It took 25 mins to have our food but everything was delicious and flavorful. Trio De Empanadas, each dumplings have different flavors as shredded pork, cheese and black bean paste. Not many options on the lunch menu so I want to try their dinner menu next time.

The lamb was great, tasty and pairing sauce was great. The portion does feel a little too small. Sangria was also nice but does feel a little overly-diluted. Will come back to try the arepa next time.

Venezuelan restaurant with an entertaining selection of bites. I particularly liked the braised beef in the arepas, and the juice drinks. However, i think with having a restaurant in Harvard square that is a bit upscale, something is lost along the way. Small-ish servings, and a vibe that feels it caters more to the parents of Harvard students than to a community. The service was great though. No complaints there.
