The plates that made us famous — photographed as they leave our kitchen.

Pork arepa with pernil and melted cheese

Nº 1 — most ordered

Pork Arepa

Slow-roasted pernil and melted cheese inside a toasted corn arepa. The plate regulars drive across town for.

Nestico's burger

Burgers

Smashed patties, house sauce, soft bun. Not Venezuelan — just seriously good.

Patacon with shredded beef

Patacones

Twice-fried green plantain, shredded beef and garlic sauce. Crunchy outside, tender inside.

Jumbo cheese sticks, tequenos

Jumbo Cheese Sticks

Golden-fried tequeños, pulled hot and stringy. Try eating just one — we dare you.

Cachapa with fresh white cheese

Cachapas

Sweet-corn pancake folded around fresh white cheese. A Maracaibo classic, done right.

Crispy corn empanadas

Empanadas

Crispy corn empanadas — beef, chicken or cheese. Made fresh every single morning.

Our story

Forty years
in the making

It all started in Ada Bozo’s kitchen in Maracaibo, Venezuela — over forty years ago. Her cooking won over the whole state of Zulia, then crossed borders.

Today her son Néstor Ríos and her grandson keep her recipes — and her standards — alive in Orlando and Katy.

Same recipes. Same family. New home.
