Delicious! Such a wonderful food experience. We had Arepas, Seafood Tostones, an Empanada, and traditional Venezuelan breakfast. Great flavors! And the sauces are to die for. Also had plum juice and avena drinks which were yummy!Food: 5/5
I've never tried Venezuelan food before but this place was great! Heard about them through social media and loved the food here. I had a mamey smoothie and a pabellon cachapa. The food was very different from anything I've eaten before but very delicious. The corn was a little sweet but not super sweet and the meet was very savory and the cheese was perfect. They give you two very thick salsas which are also delicious, but be warned the hot option is VERY hot. Overall a great place to eat that I will return to. Also want to thank the staff, they were so friendly and kind.
I've been coming here for years! Norah and her family are lovely. And the food is delicious. Service may be slow at times, but worth it. Come in with kindness and get treated with kindness and a great meal. Go and enjoy!!Food: 5/5
Amazing little taste of Venezuelan cuisine in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana, CA. Authentic Venezuelan food. Hard to find that. Got the pabellón Cachapa sweet corn pancake w/ beans, shredded beef, and cheese, the pastelitos de carne beef filled pastry, and passion fruit juice. Everything was good, my favorite was the pastelitos. Passion fruit was too sweet for me but I'm not into sweets in general. I see myself frequenting this place whenever I feel like having Venezuelan food. Food 9.5/10 Service 9/10 Ambiance 8/10 Price 8.5/10 Overall 9/10 would recommend.
Very good place to explore the menu! Alfajores are super yummy. The camaron con tostones was very good. I also tried the plum juice and it was super tasty. If I'm ever in the area I have to stop-even if just for one cheese arepa-which that itself is worth the drive. Staff doesn't speak English any time I've been helped but doesn't make a difference we figure it out and everybody has been polite and patient.
Beautifully decorated restaurant, delicious food especially the lentil chicken soup, friendly service and for sure worth trying.Food: 5/5
The food was amazing! Have to try almost everything on the menu. Great place to explore new foods. The place is very vibrant in color. 9/10Food: 5/5
Food taste in arepas fills is average. Cachapas are delicious! Rude staff specially when you have to deal with the older lady. Very rude and careless attention to customers. No A/C when we went. Too hot in July. It takes a while for someone to come and take your order, better if you head directly to the front desk and order there. Food taste on the arepas filling was average. not very tasty. Cachapas were delicious and same with the patacones. The juices were average as well.
We came hungry and left very happy. That's the motto for some other place but it applies here. This was my friend's first time trying Venezuelan food. She ordered an arepa with caprese cheese and a mamey shake. I ordered a fish bowl with plantains and a cachapa con queso y frijoles. Never in my life has a pancake tasted so good. It was so savory and the cheese especially is delicious. My friend agreed that their beans are seasoned very well. All their food is very flavorful. What I especially loved was the customer service. When the waitress first came over, she said "Even if this is your first time trying Venezuelan food, you've already tried pretty much everything on the menu." She then gave the names of comparable Mexican and Latin dishes. Their sauce is available for sale. It was so good, we bought the regular and spicy one. Note: In-person dining is back and I'm so glad. It was such a lovely day. Outdoor seating is also available too.
Nice place with artisanal decor. Authentic Venezuelan food made fresh so getting your order may take some time. My first experience at Mil Jugos was nice. The food was tasty but limited on vegetarian/ vegan options. Their menu offers a variety of dishes including gluten free fare without being overwhelmed by your choices. I definitely recommend this place.
