“ We stopped here for lunch during our stay in Salamanca. We had the Tertulia and the Pabellon arepas, the quesillo for desert, and papelon and coffee to drink. Everything was really fresh, delicious and we left full and happy. The owner was very nice and clearly takes pride in his restaurant. Definitely recommend this place for Venezuelan food. ”
