Carne en Vara Los Venezolanos — Restaurant in Guatemala City

Visited the restaurant on a recent trip to Guatemala. The menu had many options available. We decided to try arepas, grilled chicken, and the combo plate with steak and ribs. The arepa was amazing, and the chicken was tender and flavorful as was the steak. We, however, found the pork to be chewy and mostly inedible. The sides offered are a tad disappointing. Not to say they were bad. But they didn't necessarily go well with the protein options they have on the menu. They also have a few sauses they served with the meals, and those were delightful. The garlic sauce was the fan favorite. Our server was really attentive and took great care...

Great dinner and right around the corner from where we were staying at the Clarion Suites. We had a platter that we shared that had grilled steak, pork belly, chorizo sausage, arepas and sauces. They have a bar menu and we had a nice bottle of wine with dinner. Dinner was delicious and the staff and owners were fabulous as our Spanish is not the best.

I was eating solo. The servers were very friendly and the place was 100% clean. I was happy the menu was available in English. Initially I ordered the arepa with beef, shrimp & avocado. It was so delicious that I ordered a second arepa with beef and cheese. Both were great, but I'd advise the surf & turf as it features the juicy beef so well. (By the way, one arepa is plenty for a meal. I just pigged out with the second 😊).

I will definitely be back when I'm again...
