Hola Café

This is one of a few Venezuelan restaurants in the DFW area with a wide menu. We ordered some tequenos, cachapa trio, sancocho, and arepa. Tequenos are their version of cheese sticks and came with a side of delicious creamy and herby sauce to dip in to. Cachapa definitely stood out as it had tasty balance of slightly sweet (from corn pancake) with savory from the cheese and three versions of meat that came on the side. The avocado shredded chicken was cold but besides that, the rest of the meat were good. Sancocho was another contender with warm flavorful broth with lots of hearty vegetables including pumpkin and some kind of unique squash. The beef shank was pretty tender as well. Arepas were also decent but didn't stand out as much as other items. Overall, this was a great place to try very decent Argentinian food in an authentic environment where the staff doesn't speak English very well. Give it a try!

I'll give it 2 stars because the food was delicious, but when I looked at my bank account today, my check that had been $41 - around $33 with an approximate $8 tip - came through my bank account for almost $75.Completely unacceptable and because I do not speak the same language as the people in the restaurant, I cannot get any resolution on this.

Great authentic Venezuelan food. The service was quick and friendly. I can't say enough about how great everything tasted. It's one of those places that I frequently have cravings for. Try the cachapa for sure, it's divine! Arepa is amazing here. Also love their beef soup sancocho.

Went on a slow night but we were seated quickly and the server was nice. She made good recommendations as it was our first time eating Venezuelan food. Highly recommend the arepas!y husband loved the Patacón (big serving- he asked for crispy plantain). Also ordered a Papelon con limones (kind of like a lemonade) and it was really good too. They also have karaoke nights and the music they played while we dined was a good Latin mix. Overall it was good.

So i came in here this evening alone . Nobody greeted me for at least 10 minutes then the owner walked over , greeted me and took my order. He was super nice and made sure he got my order right . If my review was just based on the owners interaction , i would give 5 stars . I hate to write a bad review when he was so nice and seemed to want me to have a good experience , but I also want him to know how his customers feel . Reading previous reviews , it seems the same issue is ongoing . There were 3 tables taken in the whole place and most people were almost finished with their food when i sat down . I got my own menu and as i said i set there for about 10 minutes . I was deciding what i wanted , but the waitress kept walking by me and looking right at me and never saying a word . She made me so uncomfortable. She seemed super friendly with what seemed to be regulars , but totally ignoring me, but she kept looking directly at me . No smile , nothing . Anyways , as a person dining alone , i always appreciate a little attention...anything would have been nice . She was just very rude! I'm pretty sure she was talking about me in Spanish . Anyways , i hope some changes are made so this place makes it ! ** i do want to mention that the cook came out towards the end and gave me a big smile , we said 'Hola ' and he asked how my food was

I love Arepas! Many years ago, my sweet Venezuelan friend and I would meet for tennis religiously and the. Eat arepas religiously- best part of working out. They were so hot and fresh and buttery and oooey-gooey when we filled them cheese and ham. What I remember most was waiting and waiting and waiting for them to be done. Today, that was not the case. I so desperately wanted to love this place because the young ladies that greeted me were so welcoming and nice- however, I was overcharged by one arepa- I only ordered one, charged for two. Super disappointing. I also order a side of yuca fries, big mistake- they were very stale, rubbery, and tasted like cardboard- no salt, no seasoning, no crisp, no satisfaction. Horrible. I feel like they were in the refrigerator before I ordered them. Not fresh at all! Then I moved on to the arepa- grease galore- dripping from the styrofoam. The chunks of pork were so large and fatty it was sickening, cutting it into tiny tiny pieces would make it so much more edible and flavorful. A little salt and pepper and seasoning. The meat was not hot and did not taste freshly made.I literally threw away $20, it was not appetizing. They could make it great with a few tweaks. I'm sad I didn't get to experience great Venezuelan food tonight. Incredibly disappointing- especially since I was overcharged.

Never received service. After waiting 15 minutes and watching a table seated after us receive their drinks, we decided to leave.

Excelente lugar muy buena su comida de verdad que si quieres un sitio donde sentirte en Venezuela llegaste al indicado

Not sure the name, but first burger under "Street Food" page. So many unique flavors. Fresh. I'll be back! Gracias!

Needs better costumer service, waiters was kinda rude. Too expensive most Venezuelan restaurants are over priced but this one surprised me a lot more. Food is not as good needs more flavor
