Mi Cocina Es Tuya

Lovely place, great Venezuelan food. Many options on the menu and the arepas are gluten free and yummy! Don’t miss the fried cassava (yuca frita) and their cheese! Also torta tres leches is a lovely treat.

Nice little café which I’ve walked passed a million times.
Staff are very friendly and welcoming as you enter. Extensive menu options to select from which, I knew from my first visit that I would be back to try out all the dishes I couldn’t fit in that day.
Generally not a 3 course lunch meal kinda girl but here I feel compelled to make the full selection.
Gluten free conscientious restaurant but you do not really notice. Meat dishes are tender and juicy with the portion sizes of a good volume.
Their drinks menu is also very extensive with cocktails, hot drinks and beers. The food menu also comes with an accompany photo sheet so you can have an idea of what you are ordering rather than just eyeing up what comes out of the kitchen.
We did have to book a table on the first time we went which was around 3ish. Second time we went a little later and there was availability without having to book.
Additional plus is that they take Tastecard on a Saturday which is always a bonus.

First time here and as with many of the eateries in the Palace triangle I did enjoy my experience.
If you speak Spanish then you can join in the conversation with the staff. There were a few Spanish speakers in when I was in there which does add to the atmosphere. The staff do start conversations in Spanish but quickly help you out with their English, which is much better than my Spanish. «dos cervezas, por favor»
Anyway they have a helpful menu which gives a good description of the food they offer. The food is genuine Venezuelan and whilst I could not see the chef I imagined her to be a small older lady.
The food was very filling, we went the whole hog and went for three course. The starters all seem to be available with either chicken, beef or pork fillings/​toppings. We sampled the Pastelitos and the Tostones which were very tasty. For mains we had the Arepa, which once you get used to the corn bread roll it is very tasty. We also had their national dish, Pabellon de Pollo. I think the actual traditional dish is served with beef but we got the idea.
They have a good range of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. They had some interesting looking milk shakes which I will have to try another time.
The food was good the service was good as was the atmosphere. I will definitely be back to sample some of the other delights on the menu. If you want to go on a Saturday best ring in advance as tables are limited! You have been warned.
