    Had a quick bite to eat here, I had the 'Breakfast' and Tostones, which I really enjoyed. If you like Venezuelan/Colombian food, then I think you might like it too. (I'm a white dude, but have visited Colombia many times).

    Muy pésima comida me dieron los frijoles bien quemados y sin sabor y el arroz muy desagradable

    I lived in Caracas for 8 years. Dining here opened a "time portal" back to my years there - excellent and authentic Venezuelan cuisine. Bien hecho Chamo!

    I've had Chamo on my to try list for a while. Really glad that I did. Loved the bright decor. The hammock is a nice touch. We ordered vegetarian arepas and tostones. The tostones came out with these cute little bottles of sauce. They were both tiny but mighty with flavor. I've had larger arepas elsewhere. I'm used to all arepas having cheese so I was surprised when the vegetarian one didn't have any. The beans and platanos inside were very flavorful. When I return I'm going to try the vegetarian plate. Service was wonderful. It was such a pleasant experience.
