La Uchireña Coffee Express — Restaurant in Pembroke Pines

As a Venezuelan myself, this is one of the best small food spots I’ve ever been to. The food is so fresh, and it tastes just like.. home! (If you are not from Venezuela, well, it just tastes like what you would eat if you went to Venezuela.) The people are so nice, it is so relieving to have conversations with people that have same tastes and cultural knowledge as you. The tequeños? Perfect. Empanadas? Perfect. Cachapas? Perfect. I love everything about this place! If you are a little nervous to come because you don’t know what Venezuelan food is like, let someone that has been eating this food all his life give you a brief explanation. Oh, that’s me, by the way. If you are not ready to read a lot or you just want to know what I think of the place, stop reading right here so I don’t waste your time. But if you want to know a lot just to make sure everything will be good before coming in, read on! So, empanadas are exquisite and one of my favorite Venezuelan foods and let me explain to you why. It’s grains of corn mixed with water to make a sort of dough. Then, you lay it down as a circle and you put toppings in it! It’s usually Carne Mechada (or ground beef), cheese and/or ham, and much more delicious toppings. Then, after it is filled with goodies, flip it, and close it. Then, you are actually going to fry it. They are delicious! Then tequeños are a little easier to explain. It’s just sort of like cheese sticks but the cheese is inside and on the outside is this beautiful crust of squishy, delicious bread. Then cachapas! I personally don’t like cachapas too much, but that doesn’t mean this place doesn’t make good ones. Since I don’t like cachapas, I can’t really fill you in on how to make them, but they are the same ingredients as empanadas (grains of corn and water.) You just cook them differently and they are like pancakes, almost. They taste best with cheese. That’s it! Sorry if this was too long to read, but I want to make sure people know about Venezuelan food before they try it so they are not nervous or anything. I recommend this...

I was invited to this café by a very good friend of mine. It's a small place with a total of five tables to sit.The empanadas are amazing and the place stays crowded which makes it hard to eat there. Service is not their strength our order was wrong and we had to stand in line again to place a new order. I took empanadas home to my mother and it was supposed to be a special order with no beans for health reasons and she couldn't enjoy her empanadas because it had beans. That's why the 4 stars. I thought about giving them 3 stars but the empanadas...

I would like to give it 5 stars 🌟 but the truth is that they need to improve with customer service, excellent food on that side I don't have to say anything negative on the contrary all positive, but... Already on several occasions that I make my delivery something is missing, I must verify Before to leave because the order is incomplete, the girl at the cashier is a bit grumpy, and to be the one who receives the customer is not very positive, thank you and I hope you take my comment into account to improve and provide...
