  • Empanadas are amazing!!!! Make sure you look at the board before ordering. by Jonathan926 Fri 09/28/2012 12:00 AM Joined Sep 2012 5 Posts 5 Restaurant Visits
  • My boyfriend and I went there around 11:30am on a Sunday on our way back to Long Island. We wanted to grab a quick bite before the drive. It doesn't look like much from the outside but its nice inside. It was packed but luckily a two top just got up so we were able to sit right down. The waitress poured us two glasses of water but was barely paying attention do she ended up pouring water all over the table and only filled up our water halfway. It was almost comical. We wanted to get breakfast but the menu says the only serve it until 11. One of the employees in the restaurant overheard us and said that they will serve breakfast til whenever. So we each ordered a breakfast wrap. It was so good and very filling. We both couldn't finish it. We also ordered an empanada. I personally didn't care for it but my boyfriend loved it. Good place, a little much food for the first meal of the day but all and all, glad we went. by JC1696 Sun 07/01/2012 12:00 AM Joined Jul 2012 1 Posts 1 Restaurant Visits
  • I was traveling back from Bethel CT to the Jersey shore and took a detour to hit Valencia's Luncheria and boy oh boy it was worth the trip. The tiny place with the huge taste and one of the all time best DDD places I have been to. The counter girl was really great, patient and knowledgeable about the menu and she has a true love for her workplace. She helped me decide from the wide variety of items. I had "The Works" Special sampleing the Ceviche, an Enpanada, and an Aripa. (I know I didnt spell them correctly) The dish had some fried plantains and the best rice and black beans you will ever have. The joint is MONEY!!! and the DDD fame has not effected their passion for producing great food. Cheap prices and a great atmosphere for a tiny take out place with only 10 tables. There were lots of specials, home made deserts, and crafted beverages, even a sort of fruit smoothy milk shake. I loved it and will drop in again next week on my way back from another New England work site. Keep this in mind, they posted a sign saying they were moving to a new larger location still on Main street in Hartford not very far from 95 so look them up on the net, program them into your GPS and go there. GO THERE!!! GO THERE!!! I really loved the food and I bought a quart of the Guacaca sauce shown in the DDD episode its an avacado/lime/cilantro pesto sauce that is magnificent on anything. Places this great are few and far between, so take my advise and check this place out!!!

    Get here early, and order arepas, ceviche and the steak al parilla. If you're like me, you can also season liberally with the house chipotle sauce they put on every table.
  • Jeffrey S.
    Nutella and Creamcheese Empanada
  • Morgan J.
    I've yet to find something the Guasacaca sauce wasn't good on.
  • Wil S.
    Cash only. Best arepas and empanadas. Get the Works for a taste festival of South America. Best to go off times due to its popularity and limited seating. Take out may be the best option.
  • Lisa IBB S.
    *Mango & Brie Arepa*La ensalada de Casa*Yuca Fries....blunch of champions...don't forget to dip everything in the Guasacaca
  • Josh F.
    The Breakfast Burritos are delectable.
  • Dana O.
    Arepas, empanadas, burritos so big it looks like there are babies inside.
  • Philip W.
    Try the chocolate plantain empaneda!
  • Skip P.
    Venezuelan beach food that is not to be missed. Bring cash. Great stuff as seen on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (it is actually non of those but that's ok).

    One of the best lunch places in the area, and with a much more spacious new location.
