Shockingly good food – every appetizer and entree was unique and delicious. Service was not the fastest, but very friendly. Uncomfortable seating. We’ll definitely be back, bringing a cushion to sit on.

What a terrific place, we are so glad we found it. The staff is really accommodating and friendly and the ambiance is great. We didn’t have to wait long for our food and it was absolutely scrumptious. I would definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the Brookline area.

For what you get here the main dishes are at a great value! I got the Chuleta and the pork tasted great! The orange taste mixed very well with the pork and really made the spices pop out more. The service was quite good too.

The food was excellent here. It was my first time eating Venezuelan food. So good. Our server was outstanding and very friendly. My wife, daughter, and her boyfriend really loved this place also. We are definitely going back for more.

We had an early dinner here while in town for my husband’s conference. The waiter was very attentive and helpful. We ordered arepas, empanadas, and lamb cutlet and our friend ordered a pork cutlet. Everything came in a speedy manner and was well-presented and delicious. I appreciated that they had an in-house hot sauce that had good heat to accompany the food. We would definitely come back if in town again.

Came in for dinner a few weeks ago. Food was terrific. I’ve been to the Harvard Sq location in the past and it was also good. The three stars is because service was atrocious. It was maybe 60 mins before they closed but was only half full so not sure why us being sat was an issue. The bartender ended up taking our table and he was pleasant but yeah just ignored for awhile and we were hungry. We will be back but probably closer to opening time.

Had a delicious dinner with friends. We tried lots of arepas, every one was better than the last. Empanadas were also terrific. Don’t think you can go wrong here. Good flavorful food.

The food was delicious! I highly recommend the bacon-wrapped dates! There was no wait at all and lots of street parking.

We had an amazing time at Orinoco! It was a Saturday night, they were short-staffed and slammed, and they did an amazing job. We waited probably 20-25 minutes and got to take in the decor. Great vibe, lovely details around to see. I loved seeing all the different textures between the walls and the ceilings. And the lighting is perfect and beautiful.
