   First time here and it's the first time I've ever tried Latin food. I got a Beef Pabbelon empanada, I didn't know what to expect but it was honestly amazing. I wish I had got 2 because I wolfed it down. I'll be back to try some more from the menu that's for sure. Oh and the Colombian Aji salsa was superb.

   Fabulous comforting food! I’m a vegetarian and really love their available options. Empanadas (cheese, lentil and black bean) are all yummy and veggie friendly. Homemade sauces and salsas are out of this world. Has quickly become my favourite local takeaway. Unique compared to other places around and such a wee gem!

   I always try to find Venezuelan restaurants when I travel to remind me of home. I’m so happy I found this restaurant. Everything was delicious and it was the first time I had empanadas that reminded me of my childhood!

   Go here now! Delicious food just waiting to make your acquaintance. Yes the roads are terrible and parking can be a nightmare, but park around the corner...walk 5 minutes to an amusement park for your tastebuds. 1st, the tres leches is sweet and moist, you can tell it was made with love. 2nd, the colimbian aji hot (2 chili pepper spicy) salsa is very flavorful and has a good kick. The empanadas are delicious and makes you think about home, we had the traditional Colombian beef and potato...so good. The pabellón cachapa was deliciously made and had so many flavor profiles. The areas are massive and impressive, the flavor knocks your socks off. Staff are very friendly and service is very quick. Sadly no room to eat, must take away.

   I absolutely love the chicken empanadas in here, they’re the best I’ve had. It was my first time trying alfajores as well, and I was obsessed with the texture. You can see the kitchen from the front of the house, which I always appreciate, and the staff were really friendly. I’ve been here twice, once a delivery, and once a takeaway.

   PABELLON @BEEF Cachapa is sooo goood! Very savoury white sauce on a corn pancake that surprisingly has a sweet aftertaste. It has a tender oder of roasting (in a good way). It's the first time for me to have plantains hot. It's not mushy at all but a little chewy and less sweet than the pancake. The pulled beef is fresh and juicy. I can see some chilli pieces but it’s not a spicy dish. Mozzerella adds in a little saltiness. The black bean paste acts as a mediator among this wide range of flavours. The corn pancake with sauce can be my staple food for the rest of my life. Exquisite arepas is similar. The pie is a little tough for me. The color is white but I can still taste cornmeal. The avocado refreshed my mouth. If I hadn't ordered Cachapa, it would be great as well. Empanadas is deep fried and I always love deep fried food. It's a little tough and crunchy on the edge. But as I chew, the flavour inside the dough makes me addicted. It's soft tho where it wraps spicy pulled chicken. Again, the spiciness is only visible but not tasteable, which Is not a bad thing tho. The filling is also moist. Everything is perfect. My Venezuela friend recommended these dishes. I thank him. My job is to give him my compliments next time I see him. A little reminder tho that the sauce on the Cachapa can easily leak and make the bag moist during delivery. I'm reckless so it's fine for me. It's just a little pity for the waste. :)

   It is no surprise why this place has managed to consistently get five-star ratings from its customers. Came here based on a friend’s recommendation. It was my first encounter with Latin American cuisine, and not only did I have a taste of how delicious the Arepas and Maltin beverage were, I experienced such warm hospitality by the staff! They kindly introduced the various dishes, and even provided sauces for free!

   The best Latin food in Edinburgh. The ladies that served us were so nice and the whole experience was worth it. Such a small place with great authentic flavours. Well done, would happily go back there!
