This place has become my absolute obsession! Growing up, I remember my mom always ordering flan when we'd go out. I never quite understood her love for it--until now. In honor of her, I decided to give their flan a try, and let me just say: WOW. Creamy, perfectly caramelized, and absolutely heavenly. I've found myself coming back every single day just for it.But this spot is more than just flan. Their pabellón arepa is an absolute dream--filled to the brim with tender shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans, and cheese. Every bite is packed with flavor, and the balance of sweet and savory is perfection. And let's not forget the empanadas! Crispy on the outside, stuffed with savory goodness on the inside, they are the ultimate comfort food.

We found this place sorting by the number of stars on Yelp in the area. The restaurant is truly excellent. They have the best mojito and sangria on virginia beach. (The others I've had were at the marriot resorts, just for comparison). We also tried multiple empanadas and arepas and also ordered the parrilla mixto. These were excellent empanadas. The ground beef one was perfectly seasoned. We had to order takeout so we could have them for breakfast next day.This is truly a gem in this neighborhood.

The food was really good , the restaurant was quiet , has outdoor seating. Only gave 3 stars because the service was not good, everyone around us was getting their food fast. Ordered yucca fries asked about them twice then she admitted to have forgetting to put the order in . I will definitely get food here again but it will be to go .

I order steak medium well they gave me medium rare I had to send it back twice. When it was time to pay they gave me the wrong ticket and made me come back after they mess up . I am not sure what her name is but she is rude and has no customer service. She made it seem like it was my fault. She call me back for an extra three dollars unbelievable. I do not recommend any one to go there . I will never go back there !!!!!!

It was a last minute choice that turned out great. It felt like a hidden gem. We were greeted and seated right away on the second floor. Our waitress was nice and took our order. We chose the Pabellon NY Strip and Patacones Pernil. Food came out in a reasonable time. Also, sauce and hot sauce was provided. Overall our experience was great and look forward to return.

Big fan of this place! Service is always fantastic and they have so many delicious items on the menu. Although it was my first time trying this cuisine, I have now been a few times and have tried quite a few items and have never been disappointed, however I do recommend branching out from just arepas!

OMG! I hate that it took me so long to try this beautiful place out! Since I'd seen some great reviews of this restaurant, I grabbed a friend and headed there around 1:30pm on a Friday afternoon. We were quickly greeted and our server was amazing! I started with their Blackberry Sangria which was very tasty. Since we were unsure what to order, our server recommended the Llanera Arepa which was grilled steak, cheese, avocado and tomato. You can order the dough patty fried or grilled, I chose fried. I also ordered the Ground Beef & Cheese Empanada along with Tostones. When I tell you the Arepa was almost too pretty to eat! It was packed with steak and cheese and drizzled with chimichurri sauce! Absolute 10/10!!! The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly and the cheese was actually homemade and tasted phenomenal! The Beef & Cheese Samosa was just as good!!! The Tostones were fried perfectly but needed some salt. We definitely had to try their Tres Leches Cake and it was fantastic!!! Overall, I highly recommend stopping in and trying the amazing food at Pa'l Carajo! Our server was just wonderful and the staff were great! With this being the only Venezuelan restaurant in the area, stop in and support an awesome, local business. You will not be disappointed!!!

My very first time having Venezuelan food, I must say I was very impressed. I got a arepa and the steak was flavorful and juicy!!! it was so big I couldn't even bite into it lol. The restaurant offers a friendly environment with indoor and outdoor eating, although space is limited, so if you have a large party I would suggest making reservations.
