  Very small place. Maybe holds a dozen people. I got there at 7:30 on a Friday night and the expected waitlist time over 90 minutes, so plan accordingly, either with reservations or other options.

  We recommend: Arepa sifrina; JP?s Favorite arepa; diputado; pabellón criollo.
• Roy S.
  Order the arepas, try them grilled (instead of fried)
• Sirus O.
  Use hotel parking lot. It's ok.
• Laura L.

  One of the best unknown places around! Featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! Raul is awesome! Go for your birthday too if you can.

  Try the Xingu Black Beer from Brazil - yum!
• Kristin N.
  Great Saltenas! It's a tiny place that's always packed. Get there early and avoid the tables by the door...so cold!
• Jason C.
  Great food for a tiny spot.
