    Food is decent but absolutely not the best in SD. Customer service can definitely improve. The older guy in the cashier was the only one that greeted us. The ladies working there have no clue what there doing. Not one time did our server approached us after dropping the food off. The time of the food being serve was fast something I love. 3 stars for the food mainly because it lacked on flavor. Portion is great, price not bad. I paid a lil over 25 dlls for 5 Roll Tacos, Bandeja de Paisa n 2 water bottles. Bathrooms where clean, to me that’s a must. Clean bathrooms equals clean employees lol... Needs improvement but overall a nice restaurant.

    Being one of the few restaurants in south San Diego that sells Latin food, this place have disappointed me. I have previously bought food from this restaurant and I was satisfied with their food taste and portions. Now it seems they reduced their food portions and food simply don’t taste the same. They need to replace their cook asap because I ordered a cheese and butter arepa and I got a burnt arepa. I will not be coming back anytime soon and hopefully they hire a cook that can cook.

    Their food is... simply delicious! I've tried many of the dishes here and they're always tasty. I'm always satisfied with the portions and with their taste. Patacones Arepas Aretacos Pabellón criollo All of these are really good, and it makes this restaurant one of my favorite restaurants. The only thing that I haven't liked from here is the "arroz con leche", but it might just be the way that they do it in Venezuela. If you haven't been here, you should definitely give it a try.

    We stopped in for dinner here and the food was pretty tasty! I had a taco and an arepas and was not disappointed. We ate in, and while the atmosphere is a bit lacking, the friendliness of the staff member who took our order made up for it!

    The passion fruit drink was sooooo good! The food was tasteful too! Yummm the service was a little off, not friendly, I almost felt as thought I was bothering them to order my food. I’ll probably order on an app next time

    Great find in National City in a strip mall. Unimposing storefront but clean interior and was not crowded on a Saturday evening. Despite ordering for dine in, the food came in take out containers, which was nice because serving sizes were big enough that I had leftovers. Menu is extensive and will certainly be back to try other things.

    My wife and I visited Mi Pana restaurant recently to try out their good variety of dishes specifically the Venezuelan cuisine. Food was delicious and service was excellent. We will be back soon.

    Delicious food, great service! I had the veggie arepa and potato & cheese empanada. 100% recommend.

  • 1/5 Jan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered 40 Minutes before closing so part of the issue can be for ordering so late but we took 2 bites and couldn't even finish the rest. Rice smelt of pure lard and no seasoning in the beans, just straight out of the can taste. The rest of the food tasted bland and cold. I'd want to try this place again but during earlier hours because of the good reviews. Just feel like we wasted our money on overpriced leftovers.

    The menu had many options, the establishment was clean, fresh and airy. Great customer service explaining the menu. First time visit, won't be the last.

    I love this place, a great addition to our city. I am obsessed with their Maracuya (Passionfruit) drink and have tried the shrimp arepa and the cachapa (a delicious corn pancake with cheese and cream). Definitely recommended- support our local businesses!

  • 5/5 Farnaz M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Surf n Turf burritos I’ve ever had. So delicious, fresh ingredients! Good service. Definitely will be back

  • 4/5 Carlos A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great arepas! We also tried the cachapas, tequeños, pasteles and the empanadas. All was good. If you have a taste for Venezuelan food you should swing by Mi Pana.

  • 5/5 Kyle D. 1 year ago on Google
    It's so good! Delicious food and so many options. Patacon mi pana (fried plantain sandwich) was truly special.

  • 5/5 Cesar P. 4 years ago on Google
    The best Latin American food I ever had in SD. Not to be confused with Mexican food of tacos. Mi Pana offers great dishes from places like columbia, venezuela, and other South American countries. Great prices and broad menu offers different options to the typical South SD favorites.
