"A Venezuelan restaurant in Pittsburgh? Time to try a new cuisine! So, me and several friends tried them out for dinner. Being winter, the outside sign not being lit, and it being dark, made all of us almost miss the place. However we kinda knew where it was so we all eventually made it. When you enter, it looks like a fast food place as there is a counter with a lit up neon menu above it. I asked one of the employees if they have a dining room, and if it's open and he pointed to my right where there was one. It was completely empty, so it was not a problem finding a table for the four of us. Menus are already on the tables so we perused it. One side has Venezuelan dishes, the other Mexican. We focused only on the Venezuelan side as that was why we came here. When the owner ? came by to get our drink order, we asked for help with the menu selections and ended getting the Venezuelan Mix appetizer, a couple of Pabellon Criollos, and the Patacones. The owner assured us this would give us a good sampling of what the cuisine is all about. The appetizers arrived after a while and we dove in. Everything was tasy and we enjoyed them all ... but did note that everything was fried. Then, when the main dishes arrived, the same thing happened. Tasty food ad most of it was fried. We did also ask for a sample of their hot sauce since some of us like things on the hotter side. We all thought the food was very tasty and the owner kept checking back on how we were doing. His guidance was very much appreciated. While we were there, other parties drifted in. At least one party were regulars, and another may have been Venezuelan and were certainly Latino and knew the menu as they did not fumble as much with it as we did! Prices were reasonable at less than $25 per person when including the appetizer, main dish, and tip. Service was a bit on the slow side, but the food was served piping hot, so it was probably a factor of the kitchen being overwhelmed with takeout orders, more than anything else."

At Pabellón, I tried the Pabellon Arepas, and everything was seasoned to perfection and exceptionally fresh. I’m excited to explore more of their menu and can’t wait to come back!

Best Venezuelan food around without a doubt. Please try the cachapa. It's this seared corn with corn meal and pulled meat. Drizzle it with honey and a piece of butter. Absolutely incredible. Has good Mexican food too. Please try the golden fried tacos.

The food here is incredible—definitely the best I've ever had! It's not greasy at all and packed with flavor. The green sauce that's served on the side adds a nice kick to the dishes. And the flan? Always delicious. Overall, I give the food a solid 5 out of 5!

The food was absolutely AMAZING! Pabellón offers an excellent variety of dishes with so many options to choose from. There was something for everyone, including our two teenagers. The restaurant features a lovely dining room as well as outdoor seating with parasols. We chose to sit outside and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. For dessert, we indulged in large churros. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning! Thank you.

It is a good mix of Mexican and Venezuelan food that you can tell was freshly cooked. The service was slow so if you are in a hurry you may want to go somewhere else. If you have the time, you won't be disappointed. They have an attached but separate coffee shop. You can order with your server but you have to pay at both the restaurant and the coffee shop. They have hot and iced coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, and a wide variety of chorros. They were also very good but very slow. One of our party got his iced coffee that we ordered with our meal after we were all finished eating. They did bring it to him in a to-go cup.

The food here is outstanding. Their arepas are truly remarkable, and the empanadas boast a crispy exterior with a moist, delicate filling that offers a variety of delicious options. You can easily taste and smell the freshness of the ingredients. One of my favorite discoveries is their guasacaca, an authentic cold sauce made from blended avocado, bell pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, a few secret spices, and olive oil. It pairs wonderfully with meat, but I also enjoy dipping my chips in it. Everything is made to order with top-quality ingredients, and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is simple yet impeccably clean, all at very reasonable prices given the quality. What’s not... View menu

Very nice place. Clean a bit of a fast food aesthetic but very clean and with table service available. The venezuelan specialties are very well done. The Arepa and the Cachapa were excellent and flavorful. I got the seafood Arepa and found the filling so richly flavored that i almost wished i could have had it over rice as an entree but then i realized it was in a delicious fluffy crunchy Arepa! The Cachapa pancake was light but firm and so filled with meat it spilled out the sides The empenada are huge! Easily twice the size of what i am accustomed to getting at other restaurants and just as delicious. Evocative of a Jamaican meat pie although not quite as spicy. I will definitely be back f...

The beef empanada was just as impressive. The meat was well-seasoned, not greasy at all, full of flavor, and quite generous for the price. The dipping sauce served alongside it came in a small container but had a nice tangy taste that complemented the empanada well. The cachapa was decent, though I personally prefer versions with cilantro and garlic. The meat inside was fantastic, so if you’re a meat lover, I highly recommend ordering something protein-packed—you won’t be disappointed. The corn around the meat was good, but I felt it was missing something; I like to see whole corn kernels. The cheese was fairly standard but seemed to be of good quality. Overall, I really enjoyed the Venezu...
