  We’ve visited Budare five or six times and have had an excellent experience every time. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly and quick.

  Budare is the best! My husband and I went to dine in at Budare and we loved it. We drove from Black Mountain NC to try their really delish food and we greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of this gem of a place, the owner has also pretty nice taste with the ambiance music. Orlando was so nice, real and personable, we were greeted with good energy and kindness, he asked us if we are familiar with this food and if it was our first time at their restaurant . I am originally from Venezuela so this cuisine is not new for me but we advised it was our first time there, so they hand you their menu (but you can order for pick up as well and I am sure you can DoorDash and have it delivery(?)), we dined in so they have booths that are very comfy, with a nice and soft light fixture, the menu is great! They have such a good variety of our most know traditional dishes of different areas and states in the country, we started up with the sampler which in our case since we do not eat pork our plate had beef empanadas (you can choose your filling) fried cheese, fried plantain, half of a cachapa with queso de Mano, and tequenos with the typical sauce to sip, this dish was so good, their food tastes very clean, not greasy, then we ordered a shredded beef patacon that was to die for! So yummy, and we also ordered a Cabimera arepa and was super yummy as well, their portions are so generous that we had a Togo plate and that is always a plus!!! To drink we had 2 homemade juices (passion fruit and a papelon con limon and they were really freshly made) my husband ordered a frescolita and we enjoyed the taste of it too! we also ordered two desserts to go “a flan” and a “tres leches” and the day after we tried the flan and ohhh my goodness it was the most decadent flan I have tasted in a while..so soft and I cannot explain it but this food tastes very clean…We also ordered a few empanadas to do and the empanadas are very tasty, they can be perfectly re heated in the air fryer and they taste like you just made them home! The size of the empanadas are generous! I ate one and was satisfied these are not any mini empanadas they are the real deal! This place brought me back to my country, it brought many memories with every bite of the food we ordered! I left Budare filled in my tummy and in my soul as well, being able to speak with someone from my country for a long while was really refreshing and felt very real & that was great 💕my husband and I were so happy we found this place, and the drive was totally worth it. It is our wish that the owner one day decides to open another location in. Lack Mountain NC or Asheville as we need a good Venezuelan restaurant in our area. We will recommend Budare to our friends and we congratulate Orlando and his work team for running this amazing restaurant and for providing us the day we visited with such kind, respectful and excellent service at Budare. We are sold and will be back 💕We wish the best and much success to Budare…Johnson city is blessed to have such an authentic and good Venezuela cuisine restaurant in your area, I wish they were in WNC 😇 (I missed taking any pictures while eating as we really were enjoying our time there) I did took a picture of the empanadas we ordered to go and the tees leches that we will enjoy sometimes during the weekend) PS: try the tequenos with guava and cheese they are sooooo sooo so good you can’t miss them 👍🏻

  Food was amazing. Would highly recommend the Budare personal tray and the Guava Tequeno. Very good quality and great flavor. The garlic and cilantro sauce is amazing on everything.
