Maracaibo Bistro

This place is awesome! Our server Mei was amazing from start to finish! She recommended the ceviche de chicharron (pork belly)....my husband loved it!! The empanadas was excellent! We also had some mini arepitas - yum!! I tried a cachapas - it was a sweet corn arepa with sour cream and chicken. It was super flavorful though a little much sour cream for me. I also had the pollo en salsa champiñon. It had mushrooms, rice, and sweet plantains. The flavor was great. They have bar seating and several tables. They also have a dance floor so I can only imagine how live it gets! We will definitely go back.

Overall, the experience was good. The Venezuelan food was tasty and had that homemade flavor. I’ve tried Venezuelan restaurants in different countries, and this one holds up well, though it didn’t completely wow me. Maybe the time or day we chose to visit wasn’t the best for the atmosphere, as it felt a bit quiet. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for well-prepared traditional Venezuelan dishes.

Meriam was very good and so helpful today. The food was amazing, tastes like home! The sampler was delicious, the tequeños were amazing. Thank meriam for a great service and she’s super friendly and kind! The patacon was my favorite so far

The atmosphere was really welcoming and fun. We had reservations but we were told that we didn’t have one, so I had to provide proof. The food was okay but the drinks were good. The service was also very slow, the majority of the time we were there was just waiting for anything that we ordered.

The traditional Venezuela dishes are the way to go. Even though this may seem minimal the black beannnnnnns!! amazing and if I’m mentioning something that small imagine the empanadas, the margaritas. We will definitely be back and our belly’s are full with plenty of leftovers. Customer service was incredible this was our first time and everyone was helpful to include mei our server.
