I went to have brunch with some friends. They take reservations. I would say they were a bit slow with the orders and none of them arrived together. That is something to improve. I am from Venezuela, so I have high standards for Venezuelan food, however the cachapa was good and arepas too. The shredded beef is incredible. The tequeños are delicious, they are not the traditional ones, still delish! The garlic sauce is very tasty.

We stopped into Bacan, a Venezuelan restaurant that specializes in arepas and empanadas.- Papelon ($2.50) - not too sweet. Similar to an iced tea.- Venezuelan chicken empanada ($4.00) - my favourite thing that we ordered. Chicken was tender and moist. The dough reminded me of something my grandma used to make. The side of wasacaca was tasty.- Pabellon arepa ($10.00) - beware; all the meat is stuffed into the first half of the arepa. The beef was succulent but very greasy.- Llanera arepa ($10.50) - liked the addition of avocado. Sirloin was nice, cheese oozy.Decent Venezuelan street eats. 3.5 stars.

Wow, what an incredible experience! I rarely leave reviews, but I simply had to express my gratitude for the exceptional time my husband and I had here. We shared the arepa combo (2 arepas of choice + 2 empanadas of choice + yuca fries), my husband also got the steak on the side, and it was all absolutely AMAZING - every bite was out of this world. We had the vegetarian arepas which were a 10/10 and the yuca fries were so good!While some reviews mentioned that the service could be slow, we didn't have that experience though I could completely understand if that were the case because the food is prepared fresh so it would be well worth the wait.Overall, the service was outstanding; friendly staff, friendly environment, and the food was of the highest quality. So happy we found this place, we had an absolute blast and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Food Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Price/Value: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐All I can say is WOW was this place a surprise. Came here for the first time and was delighted by the overall atmosphere/ambiance with the Latin music played throughout the restaurant really setting the mood. The staff were great as they immediately greeted and seated us while giving us some time to order. 2 glasses with a jug of water was quickly served and after spending 5-10 minutes trying to figure out what to get due to what felt like an overwhelming amount of options, our kind waitress suggested we try the Arepa Combo For Two" for $36 to which we agreed to try with the following selections:1.) Empanadas: 1 Beef & 1 Chicken.2.) Arepas: 2 Pabellon.3.) Sauces: Chipotle & Wasacaca.The food was prepared very quickly

Visited this place for Summerlicious dinner (first dining experience at this establishment). Overall the experience was positive and would likely return to try some items on the menu but there are areas of improvement for a 5-star review.Service was on the slow side for Wed evening. Our reservation was for 6:30pm and out of 5 other tables only three were occupied. We had decided prior to arriving so we ordered right away We didn’t get our drinks until 7pm and then at 7:15pm we got EVERYTHING at once. Appetizer, main (side note, they brought a wrong dish for me but no biggie) and dessert at once. We had to quickly eat freshly made empanadas so that our main wouldn’t get cold. While everything tasted great (short ribs on the tough side), we couldn’t fully take our time to enjoy each bite. There were so many flies and bees/wasps(?) around us it was so bad that the table next to us asked to be moved from our section. Since dessert came out at the same time the mini donuts weren’t fresh by the time we got to them. They were super hard and not enjoyable. The cookie was delicious. A small suggestion to the owner- don’t bring everything out at once unless asked to do so because it takes away from having a three course meal and patrons feel rushed.

Great introduction to Argentinian food. The service was a bit slow considering the restaurant was not full at all. The arepas were definitely the star of the meal. The yuca fries were very crispy and well flavoured. A lot more filling than we thought it would be!

Nice place! The food was great. The attention on point. The washrooms in excellent conditions. A little bit warm inside but it was a sunny day, and they turned on the AC.
