Most Disliked
Some patrons mention that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, which can lead to longer waiting times for a table. This can be frustrating for those eager to indulge in the Venezuelan flavors. A few diners also express a desire for more vegetarian options; while the menu is diverse, including comfort food, some feel it could expand further to cater to various dietary preferences. Additionally, there's occasional feedback regarding the noise levels during busy days, which may detract from the dining experience for some guests looking for a quieter ambiance. However, these minor issues tend to fade in comparison to the overall experience.

Quericozon Empanadas are absolutely amazing! Here's a breakdown of why I’d give them a full 5-star review: Flavor: The fillings are rich, flavorful, and balanced perfectly. Whether you’re into classic beef, chicken, or more adventurous options, every bite is a burst of savory goodness. Crust: The empanada dough is golden, crisp, and flaky without being too greasy. It holds up well to the filling, and every bite has that satisfying crunch. Freshness: The ingredients taste fresh, and you can tell they’re made with love. The seasoning is on point, giving just enough depth without overpowering the natural flavors. Portion Size: They’re satisfying without being overwhelming. You get the right amount of filling in every empanada, making them the perfect snack or meal. Customer Service: The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to make recommendations. The ambiance is warm, which makes for a great casual dining experience. If you’re a fan of empanadas or just looking for a great Venezuelan food. Definitely worth a 5-star rating.
