Las Chamas Venezuelan Food

!!! NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT ALERT!!!Wow. This is legitimately the closest I have been to tearing up at a meal. My husband discovered this place when he was perusing on Google Maps looking for something else. This was the happiest accident and I could not be happier we visited. I am from Venezuela and this is place is legit. They have foods that other Venezuelan places in the area don't offer, and varieties that are authentic and far better (the empanadas!!). I got the mandocas (plantain and corn horseshoe-shaped fritters), cheese and potato pastelito (like a cross between a pizza pocket and a pierogi, but better in every way), arepa pabellon, and a beef empanada. Everything was sublime. These empanadas are different than ones you may be used to, since they are corn based instead of wheat based, making them many levels better than you can imagine. It was very nostalgic experience. Even without the nostalgia, the food is that good, and so worthwhile heading over here. There's so much more on the menu I wanted to try. Guess I'll have to come back! The staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere inside was joyful, with beautiful murals. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

So far have only gotten take out for breakfast before work but everything has been really solid...Not busy early morning - don't expect it to be this early but hope they continue to do breakfast hours as basically no one besides fast food joints open till 10am if not later. They've usually been open at 7-7:30am when I go by which I really appreciate. Also having anything besides a chain or fast food on Dixie is something good in my opinion.It's maybeee just a touch overpriced, but I'm not super mad at it when so far I've enjoyed everything I've ordered and definitely want to support a new local place. And I'm all for more Venezuelan food in town so count me in - Just won't be somewhere I go super often probably. Everything I've ordered has been made fresh and was really good. The chilaquiles might've been my favorite thing, followed by the breakfast arepa and chorizo burrito. Hopefully look forward to try it for lunch one of these days too!

Exceeding all my expectations. Even with how short staffed it was that day. The food was amazing and the place was charming. I ordered 3 different items. The tequenos, empanadas and arepas. Hands downs all were superb.

We found a new favorite place today by accident. Las Chamas Venezuelan Food, located at 8019 Dixie Highway. We didn't know what to expect but were more than pleasantly surprised. I'd you love flavor and spice, this is your place! We had a chorizo omelette with Gouda, potato's and toast, along with chilaquiles that had steak, eggs and some of the best green sauce I've had since we resided in the Southwest! Please give them a try!

Great Service On Time With Everything Got Food Very Fast And It Was Amazing Huge Portions Great Everything I Recommend Coming Here I'm Definitely Coming Back Much Love To This Business 10/10 The Bacon Sauce Is Amazing Everything Is Home Made And Very Delicious

Place claims to serve breakfast. Google maps hours stats the restaurant opens at 8 a.m. I drove 30 minutes to find out they are closed at 10 a.m. Restaurants need to fix their advertisement hours.

Venezuelan cuisine is lucious featuring the arepa made from white corn or the cachapa made with yellow corn. It's very similar to grits, cornbread but it's filled with shredded beef and/or eggs and white cheese! Extremely fulfilling & delicious. Service is very good too!
