Want to have authentic Venezuelan food in the middle of a London suburb?
This humble cafe is your place. The food was delicious, offering a variety of traditional fayre with a super lovely waitress. We really enjoyed all of the food.
We had Pastelitos and mini empanadas to start whilst sipping on some delicious cocktails. The Man had the national dish of Pabellon Criollo and I had Pabellon de Pollo. They were both very tasty and satisfying and were simply presented.
After all of this and a couple more cocktails we managed to find room for dessert, being a big sweet-lover I try to squeeze one in wherever I go. I had hot churros and the man had a traditional pudding made with condensed milk (I can't recall the name) it was very sweet and nice but I couldn't eat too much!
Overall a nice experience in a bright cafe with funky artwork on the walls and Venezuelan goods on sale in a mini-shop shelving unit. The waitress was a gem, just so lovely, knowledgeable and chatty. I just think it was priced a little bit high. For everything else, definitely worth a visit.
Great breakfast spot. Lovely staff and delicious, reasonably priced food. The chica (rice milkshake) is amazing!

Great food in a very warm and friendly atmosphere!. We decided to take the trip to Crystal Palace to apeace my wife's craving for "cachapas" (a venezuelan sweet corn pancake) in this restaurant some one had recommended to her, so we embarked a couple of friends (all venezuelan and with the promise of a culinary experience as we hadn't had in years...) and off we went...
The day was beautiful, sunny and mild, just perfect, to my liking...
When we arrived, after a short walk from the station through the streets and beautiful houses of what seems to be a very nice neigbourhood, we were greeted by Alex, the owner of the restaurant and immediately were made to feel at home...
It was just after lunch time so, although there were still some customers around, we could pick a table of our liking and Alex was very quick to help us settle down and explain some of the delicacies on offer as our tastebuds were been excited by the smells coming out from the kitchen, where Mary, Alex's wife, would be preparing what we came looking after.
We order some Tequeños, arepitas con queso, tostones con queso y pollo, chorizo con cassava fingers and, of course my wife's cachapa con queso and some typical venezuelan soft drinks.
The food was prompt, hot, plentyful and, above all, delicious. All made even better by Alex's attentions and good conversation and music selection.
All in all, it was a very good experience and we will most definitely be back with more friends and by ourselves and I have no doubt on recommending Mi Cocina es Tuya to all of you!!!!!
