4.75 stars, really.
The empanadas and plantain dishes took me back in time to my grandmother's kitchen in Caracas. Nowhere else in Madison have I had such authentic Venezuelan food. Only complaint would be that it's just a little pricy for what you get on some menu items, but nothing I don't mind paying for the taste and nostalgia value. I'm also sure they have to import a fair amount of things, I'd still rather come here for a few arepas instead of throwing down $8-$13 for a burrito or sandwich anywhere else.
Small talk in Spanish with anyone I've ever encountered working the counter is also a unique experience, nothing but good things to say about the staff.
Recommend this one for sure.
