Pana is always delicious and also great people. The yucca was crispy and so good with garlic sauce. I tried the arepa with bacon and eggs for the first time and am glad breakfast arepas are part of the repertoire now.

Love this place! Always very filling and the staff are always kind. The price is very fair considering how much food they give you. I like the Pabellón Arepa, but if you want something lighter but still filling I love the Domino too! If you go here and have ever liked salty things, you must try the Tostones (crunchy fried plantains, not to be confused with the soft plantains that are put in the Pabellón- which I also love!). Plantains are basically bananas for those who are wondering. The Tostones are served a size great for two! Love the Papelón drink (limeade essentially).Wish y'all the best!

This place was an amazing experience!! They had wonderfully prepped and prepared the fried plantains and chicken arepas to perfection!! I became gluten intolerant just about a year ago and, as many gluten free eaters know, it’s been hard to find truly tasty and satisfying food! And without the fear of a potential reaction along with it. This place does wonderfully on that front!
It was my first time trying Venezuelan food and I’m very glad that I ate here, due to how good it was! I’ve legitimately never seen better fried plantains in my life (and with all the sauces too 😋 ) and I’m pretty picky! If you get the chance to, come here!! You’ll definitely be left with future cravings to come back again !

Delicious!! I ordered the Pabellón and it was seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten in Santa Cruz. A little sweetness from the plantains with the savory of the beef, cheese and beans, was a perfect mixture of flavor and textures. Don't even get me started on the sauces. Guasacaca and the garlic sauce...Yum! Thank you, I will be back for sure.
