★★★★★ 5.0 Ira Echavez · Mar 2026

Service: 10/10. Owner was nice and friendly. She talked to us about other options, especially the different types of desserts she offers. She also spoke about other popular items on the menu. She convinced us to try the Chicha and we love it. Portions: very generous. Both our orders were loaded and pieces would fall out from every bite. Quality: We got the Patacon Maracucha and Aguita e’ Sapo Arepa. We waited a while before picking our order up. by the time we got home, it was still crispy. can’t wait to try them freshly made. Chicha was very thick and creamy, almost like a pudding consistency. Loved every sip. The only downside is that the straw is thin. I would definitely recommend the owner to get boba straws. We’re so glad we got to try this spot. Would definitely come back again!

I tried the burger here, genuinely the best burger i ever had. I don’t recall any memory from a food like this. Exact amount of sauce added and perfect ingredients to make this burger near the perfect. I’ve came here a couple of times and if you want something to blow your mind here, the burger is definitely the way to go.

I had a great experience at this Maracucha restaurant! I tried the Agüita de Sapo, arepa, and chicken empanada — everything was delicious and authentic. The place is clean, cozy, and sensory-friendly, with very kind service. Parking was a bit tricky, but it’s right next to Bank of America, so it was easy to find. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Bishara Reid · Oct 2025

I preferred them as a food truck…. [PART 2: LIFE IS ABOUT EXPERIENCES AND YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP] Literally, our entire encounter didn’t make sense. The atmosphere was quiet and awkward. It looked like an ice cream shop in the front and restaurant in the back kitchen…whenever the door opened. I don’t know if the cashier was just confused in general or if she didn’t understand what was going on. We came up to the register and was greeted before being told she needed a moment. For the next ten minutes, she kept walking back and forth doing nothing until she started making a random drink order (apparently for patrons that were surprisingly dinning there - who knows how long they’d been waiting). Eventually, she comes to the register to say she was ready to take our order - Disclaimer: we
