I wanted to love this place, but the empanadas fell short of expectations. While the concept of Venezuelan empanadas filled with shredded chicken, cheese, and goat cheese sounds enticing, the execution left a bit to be desired. The biggest issue is the lack of filling. For the price, you’d expect a generous portion of the advertised ingredients, but the empanadas felt more like soggy, shells with sparse pockets of flavor. The shredded chicken lacked the seasoning and juiciness that could elevate it, and the cheese empanadas, while pleasant, didn’t deliver the gooey, indulgent bite you’d hope for. The goat empanada was the standout of the three, offering a rich, tangy burst of flavor, but even that felt insufficiently filled. What truly saved the dish were the sauces. The white garlic sauce was a creamy, flavorful delight, and the house-made hot sauce brought the perfect balance of heat and tang, complementing the empanadas beautifully. Honestly, the sauces carried the meal and were the highlight of the experience. While the empanadas had potential, the value for the price just wasn’t there. If the filling-to-shell ratio were improved, this could be a spot worth revisiting. For now, the sauces are the only thing I’d rave about. Rating: 3/5 (Points for the sauces, but the empanadas need more substance.)

Honestly, this place truly surprised me. As a Venezuelan, it’s rare to find a space that genuinely represents who we are—not just in flavor, but in the details, the aesthetics, and the beauty of our culture. Usually, the negative makes more noise than the beautiful. And in this city, it’s hard to find a spot that honors our roots with authenticity, grace, and care. But Pa’ Paraguaná Venezuela Latin Restaurant really nailed it. Whoever created this place truly thought of everything: the music (classic Venezuelan songs in orchestral versions—so moving!), the color palette, the atmosphere, the seamless service, and most of all—the flavor. The empanadas were delicious: great texture, not greasy, well labeled, well crafted. Even though the space is small, it feels cozy, clean, and cared for. Every detail shows intention and love. One thing that really stood out to me was how they’ve preserved the harmony of the space—something so important and often overlooked. When we go out to eat, we don’t just want food—we want peace, calm, and fullness. We want to enjoy the richness from a place of stillness. Too often, restaurants are filled with noise, chaos, and overstimulation that ruins the experience. But here, none of that. It’s been carefully designed to let you feel, taste, breathe, and that elevates everything. And this was just my first visit. I truly hope they keep it this way, because we don’t just pay for food—we pay for the experience, for the care, the environment, the way it’s brought to us. And here, they deliver all of that. Thank you for representing us with pride and authenticity. This time, I didn’t leave disappointed—I left moved and proud to be Venezuelan. I’ll definitely be back for many more empanadas. La verdad, este lugar me sorprendió. Como venezolana, no es común encontrar un espacio que represente tan bien lo que somos, no solo en sabor, sino en detalles, estética y orgullo. Generalmente, lo negativo hace más ruido que lo bonito… y es difícil, al menos en esta ciudad, conseguir un rincón que realmente celebre nuestra cultura con autenticidad, belleza y cuidado. Pero este restaurante lo logró. ¡Y con creces! Quien haya creado Pa’ Paraguaná Venezuela Latin Restaurant de verdad pensó en todo: desde la música (¡qué hermoso escuchar clásicos venezolanos en versión orquestal mientras comes!), hasta los colores, la armonía del lugar, la logística de atención y entrega, y lo más importante: el sabor. Las empanadas están deliciosas, con una textura perfecta, sin exceso de grasa, bien identificadas, bien hechas. Y aunque el espacio es pequeño, se siente cálido, limpio y bien manejado. Se nota el amor y el respeto por cada detalle. Además, algo que me pareció profundamente valioso: han cuidado la armonía del espacio, algo tan importante y tan poco atendido. Cuando uno sale a comer, no solo busca saborear la comida, sino disfrutarla desde la paz, la calma, la plenitud. Muchos restaurantes tienen contaminación auditiva, visual o energética, lo que termina saturando los sentidos y restándole valor a la experiencia. Aquí, sin embargo, han evitado esa sobreestimulación. Han creado un ambiente donde uno realmente puede sentir, saborear, respirar… y eso eleva todo. Y esto fue apenas mi primera experiencia. Espero sinceramente que sigan manteniéndola así, porque uno no paga solo por la comida. Uno paga por el servicio, por el detalle, por el cuidado con el que llega a la mesa. Y eso aquí se siente, se nota y se agradece. Gracias por representarnos bien. Esta vez no salí decepcionada. Salí emocionada y orgullosa de ser venezolana. Volveré por muchas empanadas más. Toda una experiencia culinaria GUSSSTO

1era vez en el lugar, recomendado por mi familia. Fue difícil conseguir sin esperar lugar para estacionar (se forma un quilombo para estacionar). Hice el pedido con la chica todo en orden y me fijé en el mural dónde tienen el menú con todos los sabores que se puede escoger y que deben estar disponibles. El pedido si o si se tarda. Debés tener paciencia porque seguro es hecha en el momento para que esté fresca la orden. Ordené la bebida con la orden para comer con gusto. Al llegar la orden todo bien presentado, lo pedí para llevar con salsas, etc. Al final lo comimos en el lugar, tomamos una mesa. Pudimos tomar más salsa de los envases, salsa picante, salsa de ajo y salsa tártara. Me gusta la salsa picante y la salsa de ajo, la otra no le sentí mucho sabor. La porción que me pareció mejor para el precio que se paga es la empanada de pabellón, esa es la que podría recomendar, precio vs. cantidad. Pedimos café de bebidas, estaban buenos vale la pena el café capuchino. 1st time at the place, recommended by my family. It was difficult to get a parking spot without waiting (there is a mess to park). I placed the order with the girl, everything in order and I looked at the wall where they have the menu with all the flavors that can be chosen and that should be available. The order does take a while. You have to be patient because it is surely made at the moment so that the order is fresh. I ordered the drink with the order to eat with pleasure. When the order arrived, everything was well presented, I asked for it to go with sauces, etc. In the end we ate it at the place, we took a table. We were able to take more sauce from the containers, hot sauce, garlic sauce and tartar sauce. I like the hot sauce and the garlic sauce, the other one I didn't taste much. The portion that seemed best for the price is the empanada de pabellón, that is the one I would recommend, price vs. quantity. We ordered coffee as drinks, they were good, the cappuccino coffee is worth it. 1ª vez no local, recomendado pela minha família. Era difícil conseguir vaga para estacionar sem esperar (havia um quelombo para estacionar). Fiz o pedido com a moça, estava tudo em ordem e olhei para a parede onde tem o cardápio com todos os sabores que você pode escolher e que deveriam estar disponíveis. O pedido será atrasado se ou se estiver atrasado. É preciso ter paciência porque com certeza é feito na hora para que o pedido fique fresco. Pedi a bebida com a ordem de comer com prazer. Quando chegou o pedido estava tudo bem apresentado, pedi para levar com molhos, etc. No final comemos no local, pegamos uma mesa. Conseguimos pegar mais molho dos recipientes, molho picante, molho de alho e molho tártaro. Gosto de molho picante e molho de alho, o outro não tinha muito gosto. A porção que me pareceu melhor pelo preço pago é a empanada do pavilhão, essa é a que eu poderia recomendar, preço vs. quantia. Pedimos café para bebidas, valeram bem o cappuccino.

From the moment you step into Pa Paraguaná, you are transported straight to the heart of Venezuela. This restaurant is a true gem, offering an authentic Venezuelan culinary experience that is second to none.

The star of the show at Pa Paraguaná is undoubtedly their empanadas. These delightful pastries, filled with a variety of mouthwatering ingredients, are a staple of Venezuelan cuisine, and Pa Paraguaná serves up the best in town - THE BEST IN TOWN. The Cazon, Pernil, and Chicken empanadas are particularly noteworthy and don’t forget the traditional drink: Chicha. Each bite is a journey back to my beloved Venezuela, with flavors so authentic and true to our home country that it's almost like being there.

But what truly sets Pa Paraguaná apart is not just their food, but their impeccable service. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the dining experience. From the moment you are greeted at the door, to the time you leave, you are treated with the utmost care and respect. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always ready to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect.

The heart and soul of Pa Paraguaná is its generous owner. His passion for Venezuelan cuisine is evident in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. He goes above and beyond to make sure every customer feels at home, adding a personal touch with his own singing that makes each visit to Pa Paraguaná a unique and memorable experience.

In conclusion, Pa Paraguaná is more than just a restaurant. It's a celebration of Venezuelan culture and cuisine. Whether you're a fellow Venezuelan longing for a taste of home, or a food enthusiast eager to try something new, Pa Paraguaná is a must-visit. Prepare to be delighted by their delicious empanadas, charmed by their impeccable service, and touched by their genuine Venezuelan...

Es interesante el poder analizar dos fenómenos presentes en negocios exitosos como este. El primero es el ver cómo el ingenio, perseverancia, trabajo ardúo, creatividad y ganas de triunfar están presentes en los que lo crearon y dirigen. De verdad que es digno de admiración el ver cómo han crecido en tan poco tiempo y eso no se hace por arte de magia…hay que fajarse! y los felicito por ello. Hoy tuve la oportunidad de desayunar allí y me llamaron la atención varías cosas que traigo para que la gerencia las priorice porque definitivamente son importantes: 1.- Espacio del local y demanda del público: sé que han ampliado el espacio físico y siguen intentado hacerlo para poder acomodar más personas pero no dejen que los que allí llegan para tratar de disfrutar de sus productos se estresen porque tienen a personas alrededor de tu mesa esperando a darle el último mordisco a la empanada para sacarte de la mesa con la mirada. Todos tenemos que colaborar pero lo que ví en mi caso particular y en otras mesas fue realmente estresante!. Una opción es colocar cartelitos en la mesa pidiéndole a la gente colaboración con el tiempo de uso de la mesas y cuando el local esté a full capacidad, empezar a entregar beepers para que la gente espere en el auto mientras son llamados. Recuerden que hay ordenanzas de Dpto de Bomberos y el de Osceola es uno de los más estrictos. Coloquen un aviso afuera en donde adviertan a la gente acerca de la capacidad maxima permitida y así tendrán un poco más de autoridad para pedirle a la gente que espere afuera (de pie o en su auto). 2.- Calidad y Cantidad del producto: He estado unas 4 veces (2 en el local pequeño y 2 en el ampliado)y recuerdo que las dos primeras veces la experiencia fue excelente. La 3ra no fue tan buena en cuanto a servicio y producto y se lo achaqué al proceso de crecimiento que estaban experimentando, es decir, les otorqué el beneficio de la duda. Pero esta 4ta vez no fue tanto por el servicio (las chicas a pesar de verse muy estresadas fueron amables), el problema mayor vino con la calidad del producto: empanadas con mucho aceite, con menos relleno que antes y demasiado tiempo de espera. Sé que la gerencia se esmera día a día por ofrecer buenas experiencias a sus clientes pero deben cuidar su marca a toda costa, inclusive si les toca ganar menos dinero. Es mejor tener un puñado de clientes satisfechos que vayan frecuentemente y no muchos que hagan debut y despedida, o como el caso mío, nos damos cuenta de que el crecimiento ha ido en contra del control del negocio en cuanto al producto. Yo soy de los que cuando voy a buscar un review en Google no miro los 4 ni 5 estrellas, miro los de 1 y 2 estrellas porque es allí en donde está la falla del negocio que frustra al cliente. A pesar de esto sigo estando muy orgulloso de trabajo que han hecho y de lo que han logrado. Son parte de esa comunidad inmigrante que vino a triunfar y eso les garantiza éxito pero cuiden mucho de los detalles. No achaquen sus fallas a que les está llegando más gente de lo previsto y que el tamaño del local no ayuda, o que no tiene control de las freidoras por la demanda y por eso no se escurren bien las empanadas. Mantengan la calidad y presentación de producto estrella!. Esta bien el excusarse pero también hay que usar las quejas del público para transformarse. No dejen de que al final el público llegue a la conclusión de que lo único que importa es vender y después vemos qué hacemos con la satisfacción del público. Sé que son muy creativos y buscarán opciones para resolver los detalles que hoy pude notar. No descuiden lo más importante de cualquier negocio: transformar a esa persona que entró la primera vez en uno que siempre vuelva. Dios siga bendiciendo su negocio y muchas felicidades por su...
