I traveled to Mexico last week and was very excited to go to Kaxapa. The owner Jose Ramon you just want to buy a miniature size of him and carry him with you in life. Lol. He has great energy and love for the wonderful food of our country. I am not exaggerating when I say the Venezuelan food here... More

We had to stop by after seeing this small restaurant so highly rated -- we began with the humble and jovial host offering us samples of fresh juice and explaining each Venezuelan dish. We had a chicken kaxapa and also a sandwich type dish with fried plantains as the bread. Everything was delicious. Very fresh and full of flavor, we... More

Lunch at Kaxapa lived up to expectations. We had a Kaxapa (stuffed corn pancake) and a sandwich which used fried plantain instead of bread, stuffed with a kind of chicken salad (sorry forget the name). Both were delicious and great value. Same goes for the fresh passion fruit juice. The owner, Jose Ramon, was delightful and definitely the friendliest restaurant... More

The food was delicious! The service was warm and friendly. It is a bit hard to find...if you walk UP on the main 5th Ave, crossover Constituentes, and make a left. Pass the Chocolate Cafe, next block. Look for the green awning. We had the house platillo, $80 pesos. Fruit drinks are $25 pesos.

We found out that they don't take credit cards and the staff was nice enough to have us go to the ATM after we ate. Also, they brought us drink tastes to help decide a drink. The menu was descriptive and my companion really enjoyed the arepas. I didn't like the cachapa as it was greasy corn egg to me.

We went to Kaxapa Factory because of all of the excellent reviews. This was our first time eating Venezuelan food. We tried a bit of everything and shared it all. Each dish was different and delicious. The juices were very good too. Very affordable. I would highly recommend!

This little place is off the main drag of 5th avenue but well worth the walk. The place is small and it's next to an italian place that was closed when we went. The owner (a adorable little Venezuelan man) greeted us immediately and asked us if we spoke English or Spanish and then gave us the menus accordingly. He... More
