Cassava Venezuelan Food
935 N Beneva Rd, Sarasota, FL
Crema's Take
“This hidden gem in Sarasota brings authentic Venezuelan flavors to life with exceptional hand-made empanadas and traditional pastries like golfeados and arepas that keep families coming back. The team here really shines in their warmth and accommodations—whether you're navigating dietary restrictions or just craving something genuinely delicious—making it feel less like a quick bite and more like you're catching up with people who actually care. It's the kind of spot where the food disappears from your plate almost as fast as it arrives, and the genuine hospitality makes you want to linger over traditional Venezuelan drinks and conversation.”

Una bendición!!! Gluten-free options with the Arepas and a new chia flour Cachapa. I have a gluten intolerance and they were beautifully accommodating. Delicious 10/10
The empanadas are delicious, the best sweet Food too “Golfeado with cheese” is amazing!
The empanadas were so yummy, I almost forgot to take a photo 😂. The service was very friendly and welcoming.
Delicious food!!!! Service is amazing and the variety of flavors is excellent! My favorite thing on the menu was the ham and cheese puff pastry pastelito and the shredded beef empanadas. Can’t wait to come back to Sarasota and eat here again!
It’s a hidden gem! Authentic Venezuelan empanadas and more! I bought empanadas and this savory pastry thing that I can’t remember the name of and it was a hit. Barely got a piece from family taking it. Definitely going back! They have empanadas that are hot and ready, pastries, desserts and more!
