Caracas Bistro

I don’t often get out this way, but had an extended errand in town and was told to check it out.
I, personally, was mindblown. It’s one of my top 5 restaurants just off the cuff.
We came to try the milkshakes but were too full, and wished we could get them to-go knowing that’s not realistically possible.
it was very busy when we went, the hostess had us sign in for a 25+ minute wait.
After a party disbanded we were sat and order taken in a good amount of time. All of the food was hot and fresh, our app came 5 mins before our entrees.
I personally loved my order. I got a Venezuelan bowl with everything except sauce and it still wasn’t dry.
The empenada was a bit too sweet for my taste.
My partner got a meat plate.
I will say that they seemed like they were short of staff and were handling it gracefully.
Switch the salt and pepper shakers. The pepper is hard to get out of the tall container and your food doesn’t require salt.
I loved that you had regular hot sauce and El Yucateco.
That gives you a weak and soft hit with the sauce but if I were to suggest, switch to either Cholula or Tapatio, and keep the Yucateco but change it to the Chile Habenero. that way you get a little hot and a lot hot without losing taste.

I joined my friend and her grandson here for their Famous Milkshakes. We were able to split one Halloween themed milkshake between the 3 of us. My friend also shared her Caracas Fries with me. The staff were kind, the establishment was clean, and I'm thankful we had 2 adults and a child to share all of the delicious food. I'll absolutely visit again and be sure to have my friend join and help me with polishing off another order of fries and a milkshake.

The food was outstanding! I've been struggling to find good Venezuelan food, and this place didn't disappoint me. The service was really kind; I especially appreciate the ladies who assisted us. The atmosphere was great; it's a family-friendly restaurant, which is wonderful. I definitely recommend the Patacon with steak, and my boyfriend loved the Cachapa with shredded beef. I know it could be a little pricey, but considering the portion sizes, it's totally worth it. We saw other people with milkshakes, and they looked stupendous. Unfortunately, we didn't try any, but we'll definitely be coming back for them and other items on the menu. Thanks to the crew!

Food was AMAZING!! Anny was so helpful in guiding us on our food choices! Every suggestion was delicious! Highly recommend!!

Had been putting off this Mishawaka hidden gem for a while. I continued to see pics of the milkshakes online and just had to partake. It was absolutely amazing (shareable and justifiably pricey). Food was good. Service was great! I enjoyed the Venezuelan bowl. This business needs more customers. Let’s support❤ i am definitely going back.

This place looks a little quirky but I got the cornbread pancake type dish and it was insane. So good! Definitely coming back! Also, food came out fast which was nice and the price for the amount of food you get is so great!

Our first time here after seeing many great reviews. We (two of us) shared the Mega Appetizer Sampler which gave a real nice sample of several menu items. We also shared the Cheesecake Milkshake. Food, service, and atmosphere were all great.

We had an AMAZING meal! I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Food, service, drinks, everything was excellent. We didn’t know what to get so we ordered the sampler, some loaded fries, plantains and coleslaw. After trying the lemonade I ordered one for my own, I rarely get anything other than water but this one was so delicious I couldn’t not order one. All the girls was super friendly and informative, and very patient as we took forever to decide. I don’t live in South bend but when I go back I will definitely eat here again, and save room for a shake!

Super delicious very authentic and fresh , would definitely come again .

Get the cachapas super good if you like plantains and cheese

Absolutely adore this place. We come here twice a month at least and every single time we are blown away by how delicious the food is.

Annie, you’re a doll. 💕 Thank you for excellent service.

The food is just amazing whether it’s the main meal or the appetizers and the milkshakes are ginormous and delicious. The waiters can speak English or Spanish and they’re also very nice.

Maria provided fantastic service! Food was excellent. Had Arepas, patacon and cachapas for dinner with a brownie milkshake for dessert. Would recommend.

Delicious! Anny made great recommendations including the lemonade. So filling and plenty for lunch later this week.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Caraca's Bistro, and I must say, it has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food at this charming little establishment is consistently exceptional.

The service is also commendable, especially if you time your visit right and avoid peak hours when they tend to get busy. The staff is attentive and efficient, ensuring that you have a pleasant dining experience.

Now, let's talk about the milkshakes. Oh boy, they are absolutely amazing! These milkshakes are not your ordinary ones - they are indulgent creations stacked with mouthwatering desserts on top. I've tried almost all of them and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

In fact, the portions are so generous that you can easily split one milkshake among four people. It's a dessert lover's dream come true!

Overall, Caraca's Bistro is a hidden gem that I highly recommend. The delicious food, quick service, and mind-blowing milkshakes make it a must-visit for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience.

¡Naguara! Some of the best Venezuelan food I have had anywhere, including the two years I lived in Venezuela. If you want an authentic Venezuelan meal, come to Caracas Bistro! You won’t regret it!

The food was amazing. Service was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. We had such a lovely time. Highly recommended.

Food was good. Service was friendly and nice as well as fast. Milkshake was really good and hit the spot. Pepito was good but prepared to get messy unless you know how to eat it. I sure did not and was a mess but was very happy with it.

Amazingly delicious ice cream that's always fresh with all the toppings you can think of, Very quiet And pretty environment,
with very good customer service.

Very friendly staff, the food was delicious and the desserts were, of course, amazing. I recommend any of their fries, and honestly, all of the milkshakes are amazing. It's the place my kids pick to go when celebrating anything.

Great food, better come hungry because the dishes are huge.
