VenPaca Latin food

My first time here with my wife. It took about five minutes before we were seated. Our server was very nice always smiling. I believe she is new here but I can be wrong. She can use a little bit more training. I also believe she was the only server at the time. (Short staff) As for the place I felt comfortable and the music was nice not too loud. The food was great! The portions were great for the price. We will be back!

The food was delicious! They serve a lot of food. Had to doggy bag it. I can't believe how the mofongo was still sooooo good after it was in the fridge. Held up really well. Definitely recommend this place

VenPaca is our second Puerto Rican food experience and it was delicious. Not that our first one was bad but Talia (our super cute and professional server) was very attentive and knowledgeable about her menu plus the food as you’ll see in the pictures exceeded our expectations. Will be coming back!

The food is awesome here, brings me back to PR. Although I think the food takes a little bit too long. Thalia definitely made up for it, her service makes the wait worth it. Super attentive and friendly and definitely took care of us with her professionalism.

I chose this place as a surprise for my husband. He was a bit homesick and I wanted to give him a bit of home. This place did not disappoint! The drinks were awesome, there was a bit of wait for the food but it was worth waiting for. My husband asked for something off menu and they were happy to make it for him. The food was fantastic, the mofungo was incredible. All in all it was a great experience.

Love the atmosphere, we sat outside to enjoy the closeness to the water. The food was delicious!

This restaurant deserves a 10/10 ! We came all the way from Orlando to Malabar to try it and this is truly now our favorite Puerto Rican restaurant. Truly authentic, great service and the food it’s just beyond fantastic. The mofongo stuffed with grilled steak, steak burrifongo, fried cheese and coconut mojito super delicious. Recommended 100%.

My first time eating there today the staff was amazing the ambiance excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. The prices were good and Lord the portion sizes were huge. I highly recommend this place 10 stars

Best restaurant I’ve found in Malabar. I come here every-time I’m around this area.
By far the best Mofongos I’ve ever tried. Suggest to try the Octopus and Shrimp Mofongo with Garlic Sauce and Fresh Passion Fruit Juice for drink.

This place was absolutely amazing. I just recently moved to Sebastian this will be my new favorite spot! The surrullos mini empanadas mofongo todo rico!! Highly recommend!

Great site, service, atmosphere, the food it’s super flavorful and big Good portions,
I liked so much

I've been trying to go to this place for a while now. Oh my goodness. It was definitely worth the wait.
The sampler platter ( mini stuffed potatoes, bacalaitos, and empanadas ) was amazing. Great taste, everything was crunchy and not greasy.

The churrasco with rice, beans and tostones was perfectly cooked, tender and full of flavor.

The chicharron de Pollo with rice and beans was excellent.

The churasco burrifongo (burrito made with mofongo) was amazing.

Please place was clean and the service was second to none. The portions were plentiful and reasonably priced. Ven Pa'Ca is great Puerto Rican food at s good price.

I went to Melbourne to see my from Orlando and I have to say I was absolutely impressed… the food was so yummy and the mojito was so good and the price was adequate. Will have to drive down again this time with my husband.

Comment: this was my first time visiting the restaurant, It was recommended by my wife, we search about on Facebook and the food look amazing and very attractive to go and check them out, we come from Central Florida Lake county. I ordered the lobster stuffed with skirt steak and shrimp, side dish Mofongo. I have to tell you the food was delicious and very appealing to eat, been that said some areas they need to catch up or fix: after food is serve, there's have to be a follow up on how is the food, do you need sauce or anything else?, can't wait for the customer almost finish to see if there's anything they might need.... overall it was my first time and it was early open the restaurant... will be back!

Was invited for lunch to this spot, never have I heard of it but I’m a fan of Puerto Rican Food. My first impression of the place is “I dig it” we went for lunch so it was very calm, relaxed, 3 other customers there, waitress came, sat us down and took our drink orders. Our wait wasn’t long and plus with good conversation with my party I didn’t really see anything wrong waiting a little for some good quality food. I will say it is a little on the pricey side to some other Puerto Rican places I have been to and rated in the past. I will not take anything away from this place though, good atmosphere, good food!!!

Ven pa’ Ca Latin Food, 1390 US-1 N, Malabar, Florida 4.5-Stars

THIS IS WHY I DO THIS, PEOPLE!

The Big Boy is always on a quest find the holy grail of the fantastic meal. Sometimes he feels like Don Quixote, the proverbial Man of La Mancha, tilting at endless windmills of mediocrity. But every now and then, after countless disappointments, he stumbles into a Shangri-la like Ven Pa’ Ca Latin Food. And when he finally does, Eureka! Trumpets blare! Bells ring! Huzzah!

If I spoke Spanish, this may have been a truly flawless meal. Let me tell you, the inability to speak Spanish is becoming a real hindrance in Brevard County. If only I had listened more closely in Spanish class to Señor Stanford at Melbourne High School in 1982.

Sebastian, our waiter, started out slow as he didn’t realize at first that I only speak English. However, he came to life once we got on the same language page. He knew the menu backwards and forwards and was on top of things.

I first tried the Fried Pork (carne frita), big chunks of lightly fried pork served with tostones (fried green plantains) and rice with pigeon peas. The rice on this dish was very dry hence the 1/2-star demerit on an otherwise perfect score. The other offerings on this plate, however, were delicious.

I also ordered the Churrasco a la Parilla (grilled skirt steak) rare, which came drizzled with a mouthwatering chimichurri sauce. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, although, the star of this show was the side of Arroz Mamposteado, which was flavorful, flawlessly executed, and well worth the upcharge.

Are you hungry for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine? Then slide on your zoris, moccasins, clogs, or other zapatos of choice, and walk yourself into Ven pa’ Ca Latin Food.

The Big Boy says, “I may not know where to find the Fountain of Youth, but I found a hidden gem of a restaurant in Malabar. Ven pa’ Ca!”

Stopped in to get some food to go and it was great. Ordered the Mofongo steak and shrimp with their homemade garlic sauce, sorullos, Churrasco with yellow rice and gandules, cheeseflan, and fried cheese desert with guava fries. Everything was extremely fresh and tasty. The staff was great even being busy she handled it like a champ. All you can see coming out of the kitchen was mouthwatering dishes one after another. All the customers sitting at the bar area were talking how good their food was. If you are in the Melbourne area this is great Latin food to stop in. It is pricey but for the food portion was very welled priced.

Went on a Sunday at noon which is opening time. Rest is nice, there's space between tables, staff is very welcoming. Got some appetizers in, fried cheese with guava sauce and alcapurrias. As my entrée I ordered seafood stew (asopao de mariscos) which they didn't have but the chef said he could make for me. It was delicious. I took half home I ate it at night. There where also 2 plates mar y tierra (churrasco & shrimp, rice & beans) I must say, all of the plates we got were nicely presented, tasteful, just like abuela was cooking.

Updated review! Finally got to check out the restaurant and it’s awesome !! service was great and the food was delicious! Will definitely be back for more, steak was a bit small for the price but the flavor made up for it!

The atmosphere Makes you feel like you are in Puerto Rico which is home to me. Best mojitos in town . The food has so much flavor and they do have vegetarian options. Owners and staff are very friendly and it maintained clean.
