Little Venezuela Restaurant
511 Market St, Chattanooga, TN
Crema's Take
“This Chattanooga gem serves authentic Venezuelan comfort food with the kind of genuine warmth that makes you feel like you're dining at a friend's table rather than a restaurant. The hand-crafted arepas and empanadas are consistently praised for their exceptional freshness and careful preparation—crispy exteriors giving way to pillowy interiors and perfectly seasoned fillings—while the staff's attentive, personable service transforms a meal into an experience that lingers long after you leave. It's the perfect spot to linger over traditional drinks and light plates in a bright, casual atmosphere where regulars and first-timers alike feel equally welcomed.”

Absolutely delicious. I have never had Venezuelan food before so trying this was my first time. I ordered the Pabellon Arepas which is like a baked sandwich with beans, plaintains, cheese and shredded beef. So fresh, so yummy. This is a mom and pop store - this place was awesome. Happy to support a bangin’ spot!
Bright and casual eatery with delicious empanadas. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, stuffed with tender stewed beef. Also had an arepa stuffed with egg, tomato, and avocado. Two sauces served at table, a hot, creamy spicy sauce with a hint of tomato and a fresh and cool herb creamy sauce that was a perfect accompaniment to the food. Very clean. Pleasant service. Food served hot. One of those places I’m adding to my cravings list.
Absolutely hooked! Hans down the best empanadas I’ve ever eaten. 10,000 out of 10 recommend!!! So fresh, so delicious and exceptional service too.
This was the best home feeling restaurant I have been to in a long time. Rebecca made the experience. She walked us through the menu. Talked and made us feel welcome. The food was also delicious I had fried plantains, and some arepas. And the last appetizer on the menu: fries with sausage cabbage and cheese. The food was so fresh! Will be back very soon 😋
The food here is INSANELY good. I had the shredded beef cachapa and a cheese empanada. The beef was so tender and everything was so fresh and flavorful. The girl working the front was so funny and sweet. We will absolutely be back.
