Kariacos Venezuelan Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
My friend and I were only in the Springs for 3 days as a quick visit and stumbled upon this place randomly. We’ve both never had Venezuelan food before, so we can’t speak to the authenticity, but we absolutely loved the flavors so much that we visited twice! The first day we only got empanadas because we wanted a small snack before we met up with others later for dinner. The second time we got empanadas and parrilla criolla. We ordered the regular size and split it and it was plenty of food for us! Could have skipped the empanadas and it still would have been enough for us I think. Everything we ate was delicious and perfectly cooked. I would recommend this place and will likely be back in the future!
Absolutely amazing food. Clean, healthy eating. I had the individual steak and chicken dish. Already looking forward to eating here the next time we're in town.
Amazing food. Cozy place and really love the fact that it’s authentic Venezuelan food, because eating other Spanish food is always a plus to my stomach and taste buds. The only thing I can admit is the the empanadas are a bit pricey. The brisket is reheated but the seasoning is still there. Other than that I recommend everyone to try them out.
We came to Colorado Springs on vacation, and we came here because we wanted something that we are used to. It was great, we got take out and it was all delicious. Even though we came very close to their closing time, they took very good care of us!
Someone recommended this place to me, and I'm so happy I finally tried it! The food was amazing, and the woman behind the counter was so welcoming and helpful. Definitely bringing friends here in the future!
This place is a must eat. Do not sleep on this place. The food was of high quality and was so perfectly curated. A delightful hearty meal that makes you feel like it was cooked at home. The food was so delicious it inspired me to give it five stars. Ive literally never in my life reviewed anything. I will be returning as long as this establishment exists! To the owners, I tried calling to tell you how much my whole family enjoyed and raved about how good it was! Thank you for such a wonderful meal, you may start seeing us multiple times a week!
So good! A must try for vegan/vegetarians in town...the vegan bowl was so filling and so tasty! The owner was super sweet, you can tell there is love put into her business. They also have a vegan arepa & fried yucca!
This place is a hidden gem. The plantain sandwich was so delicious. For the portion size that you get, the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a must try!
