Haven't eaten as juicy an arepa before. And being a first-timer to Halifax trying out the (pork) palacone (a sandwich with fried plantain as bread) was a mind-blowing experience. We also got a chance to meet chef Eduardo, and he know he's the best. The burst of flavours on my palate is going to stay with me for a while. Please do visit if you're passing by!

So glad we got to eat here while in Halifax! We had split an beef arepa and a pork patacon sandwich and they were both amazing! Way better than anything similar I've had in Toronto and a mich larger portion for the price too! 100% eating here again any time I'm in Halifax!

We had lunch here for the second time last Friday and already can't wait to return! Excellent service from the moment you enter. The food is fresh, delicious and beautifully plated. I love that the food is sooooo flavorful! See you soon Veranos!!!

We spent the morning walking the streets looking for the best breakfast. We settled down here and immediately felt like we were in Mexico. The Staff were top notch and the breakfast tacos and wrap We had was 5-stars. Only suggestion would be an extra corn tortilla under the tacos to catch all the droppings :) by far the best Mexican style breakfast I've ever had! Enjoy

I ordered Patacon. It had roast beef ,special sauce and some other stuff. It was a Venezuelan dish. I loved the way which they take orders. You would a qr code at the table and order by scanning it. Customer service was awesome 👌

Fantastic little spot on Hollis street with seating inside and a few tables outside. My wife had the breakfast sandwich and she enjoyed it. I had the Chilaquiles with 2 sunny side up eggs and it was so delicious. It was done perfectly as the tortillas were not soggy and the eggs perfectly cooked. It was a huge bowl and probably can feed 2 people. The service was excellent and very friendly. We would not hesitate to eat here again.

Absolutely delicious food that you really can't get many other places in the city. Extremely fast service too. Definitely give it a try if you're downtown!

Verano is Halifax's top spot for homemade empanadas. Trust me. What sets them apart are two things: excellent portions and mouth watering fillings (16 Hour Braised Beef, Black Bean and Queso fresco, Chicken Tinga - just to name a few). This is a uniquely wonderful Mexican and Venezuelan restaurant experience that, from what I can tell, is family-run. Dine-in or order as the perfect grab-&-go snack, you won't be disappointed. The only downside is they're not open on weekends.

In short: everything on the menu is amazing. I have had almost everything on the menu now and it is all incredible. My favourites: beef arepa, chicken patacon and the chilaquiles. All of the empanadas are great- especially the mushroom (and I do not like mushrooms at all). It is my favourite restaurant in Halifax hands down. I should also mention that the owners and staff are such a delight. As of September 13/21 they will have expanded operating hours so if you can’t get downtown on a workday go on Saturday. I promise you will not be sorry.

Excellent service, location and food. I ordered chicken Patacon and tequeños. Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly .

Lovely delicious Mexican specialties. I only wish I’d known it sooner. It’s a tidy, pleasant breakfast/lunch place. I also wish it were bigger, had a bar, and had dinner. My new favourite lunch. This will require self control not to go all the time.

The empanadas were amazing, the Tequeños so good, out of this world. It's great to have this place in the city. Every sunday I dream this place opens on the weekends

Stopped here on a lunchtime walk while visiting Halifax in May. I ordered two empanadas - one black bean and one pork - they were way bigger than I anticipated and I could not finish both. So tasty! Friendly staff. Would like to return to try more menu items.

Favourite place for lunch in Halifax. Everything here is amazing and the service is incredible. I had the pork arepa and was not disappointed. I usually stick with a favourite menu item at restaurants but I am determined to try the entire menu as everything is phenomenal!

Went out for a work lunch and we decided to go here. I was not disappointed. I had the beef arepas and it was delicious. One of the best sandwiches I've had in the area. Prices are also reasonable for the quality and portion size. The restaurant itself was very clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. Overall, a great experience. Will definitely be coming back again sometime.
