    This cafe was absolutely delightful. The owner was so sweet and told us all about her menu items, the hot food bar they have Tuesdays & Thursdays and her themed dinner nights. We were given samples and fresh salsa to go with our lunch. Everything was full of flavor! My girlfriend and I ate every last bite. Thank you for such a lovely meal, we will most certainly be back.

    We ordered off the breakfast/brunch menu and the food was delicious. Really large portions and delicious food. The service was friendly and professional and helpful. The waitress recommended the 2 dishes we ordered. Also the pineapple juice is delicious and no added sugar. Would highly recommend

    Wow, the chicken melted in our mouths! Definitely stop here for beautiful South American-influenced food and flavours, served up by what will feel like your momma: with love and generosity. (Hot sauce lover? Check out the homemade sauce photos!!)

    My son and I had an AMAZING brunch a few days ago. The ambience and aesthetic are really interesting! Definitely an interesting inside view of Montgomery's architectural history - don't miss the bathrooms! 😉 The French toast nearly overwhelmed my 12yo, and I got the Crazy Eggs. Worth every surprising bite! And my goodness, the owner's energy and friendliness are so genuine - I promise we'd go weekly if we lived there!

    This is what true ownership looks like! Everyone was delighted with their meal. Hearty, and nutritious. The owner personally made sure our diet restrictions were met, joked, chatted with us, and made everyone feel at home. A home-cooked meal was a very comforting light on a 9 hour car trip. There's no worry about cut corners or poor quality here. Janet seems to ensure everything is up to her personal highest standard, the way she'd feed her own family. What a blessing. Thank you, Janet! We'll have to plan to stop by again the next time we're cutting through the country.

    She is one of the nicest women I have met. She treats everyone like her child and knows me by name after about 3 visits. Her food is amazing, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the food is healthy without compromising on taste. I would recommend coming on an international night to get a good feel for the type of food she prepares. Bring your appetite!

    Really good food and service is amazing, you get greeted since the moment you step in, very comfy place. They are very friendly, food tastes really good and price is just fair for what you are getting. I’m not a big eater but the portion I got for this breakfast was just right

    In my trip to Montgomery this was the most satisfying and best experience. The staff was so nice and the owner is passionate about what she offers. The food was very flavorful and delightful. This is something different and worthwhile to make time to try. You will not find anything comparable in a chain of the big breakfast places or as much care as they have in their food. Felt so welcome and open to explain the menu.

    The lady that talked to me made me feel like I was in school and she was that sweet old lunch lady. I was new here and was unsure if we were allowed to get the drinks in the back (which I saw other customers get).The food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the décor was nice. The bathroom was interesting, you have to push the door to open it.

    Often heard of never had until recently. The brunch was astounding. As expected I didn't know what to expect with Venezuelan food, let alone brunch. I fell in love off the bat with the sunrise arepa and then loved the cachito. I sampled the cachapas which were great and also tried out the chicken empanada and the empanada criollo. Needless to say I was stuffed. The food kept coming as we tried different dishes and treated it like a tapas place almost. Can't wait to try the lunch and dinner. The lady who brought our food can be my abuela. Live music was great, be sure to tip!

    A lovely surprise on my last day in Montgomery - a friendly, easy-going Venezuelan restaurant in the heart of downtown. The savory breakfast made for a delicious start to the day (along with strong coffee), and the music is great to groove to while you're enjoying your meal.

    It was my first visit to Montgomery, Alabama from Savannah, Georgia and we had a great time. Best cuban I've ever had. Another person from our group got the cachapo el guapo and loved that too. 10/10 well done Ms. Janet!!

  • 5/5 Kendra I. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was absolutely delicious. I have not had such a filling and favorable meal in a long time. The decor and familiar environment made me want to go back the next day. The owner shared her story and passion for the recipes with us. I highly recommend.

    Moved downtown last year and was so lucky to discover this place. The food is beyond great and Janet always makes me feel like a son anytime I come in there. I’m a big fan of the Arepas, especially the breakfast arepa, she knows exactly how I like it every time, nothing beats the way those flavors meld together, the cheese, the onions, the eggs, the ham, and the brisket (can’t forget the peppers if you love a kick). There’s nothing else like it anywhere! Also the Cachapas is another good selection, like picture a handmade McGriddle but the size of pancakes with layers of brisket and cheese in between. I literally could keep going, but just go and try it! You will be just as hooked as I am on her food.

    Food and hospitality were amazing. You’re treated like family and you can tell how much passion goes into the cooking. We went during a hot bar menu so got a little bit of everything and it was all great. Definitely recommend.

    The huge plate of food was completely homemade with fresh ingredients. Delicious. It would be easy to pass this place by, but don’t!

  • 5/5 Amina L. 2 years ago on Google
    THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. Customer Service was phenomenal as well, the owner was so friendly and accommodating to our party of 14. We had breakfast and the lunch buffet. Also, I ordered the pineapple juice and it was so fresh, I would come back just for the juice alone. This is definitely going to be my new spot.

  • 5/5 Deanna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place! Fun and quirky food options. They are vegetarian and vegan friendly! I thoroughly loved my dish, Vegetarian 'Crazy Benedict'. My mom got 'Crazy Eggs' and we ordered French toast to share. Everything was delicious. The staff was helpful and very friendly. I loved that they had eco-friendly cutlery. Live music and apparently they have international dinners on Friday nights. I will definitely have to try dinner soon!

    D’Road is a lovely Venezuelan cafe. The staff is nice, the environment is cozy and the food is delicious. I have had the pleasure of experiencing breakfast and dinner,dinner is reservation only. There is a new theme for dinner every week and it is always a good meal.

    My son's girlfriend and I take our daily 3-4 mile walks and then look for a healthy choice for breakfast or lunch. Today we found this wonderful little Venezuelan Breakfast spot in Montgomery Alabama. The atmosphere is so cozy and there were a lot of military service members patronizing. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious. We didn't eat much because we splurged a little but it was worth it. We selected the chicken and spinach Crazy Egg Benedict. It was so flavorful, it didn't need anything. They also have a breakfast bar you can order from with many different selections. We will be trying that next time. Apparently, they offer reservations for dinner on Friday nights with different Latin themes. It is truly a gem of Montgomery.

    Gluten Free options. Fresh squeezed pineapple juice! That right there is worth it. This is such a beautiful restaurant. Eclectic! The ambiance is amazing. I felt like I was back home in my mother's kitchen. The food was fresh and amazing. The wait staff is so kind. Love it all!

  • 1/5 Viktoria C. 1 year ago on Google
    Disappointed! You start with a nice lady who tells you to take a seat, and then asks you what you want to drink. There are only a few limited choices and you don’t get a menu or any idea what the prices are. She then showed us the food that had been prepared at the buffet. No explanation about meal options or pricing. We chose a few options from the buffet. The Food was cold and salty. This plate in the picture cost me 24$ I never got a check and was just told to put the card in the machine. Total rip-off

  • 5/5 Lenette P. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem of a spot! Well worth a try. As authentic as it gets. Wonderful hospitable owner/chef/hostess! Every dish an experience for the tastebuds. I've never had Latin food quite like this before. We felt as though we had been invited to a family's table at home . There were foodies, groups meeting to catch up and regulars that knew all about that hot sauce, go ahead and ask for that if you like to amp up the heat. It's good on everthing- well maybe not the Plantains. I had 2 servings of those they were excellent. Yuca is available as a side. Don't expect the brisket to taste like a southern bbq it's not. But flavorful none the less ( soft and carrying a punch) . Metal chairs with burlap ribbon and some neat building materials with a splattering of art , and sunflowers make the place seem fresh, open and comfortable. We'll be back.

    Amazing lunch food, incredible owner. Was like being served by family. Hot bar had three meats, rice, black beans and several vegetables. The homemade hot sauce and pickled vegetables were excellent. I would return and recommend to others. Only thing to point out: we didn't know the hot bar process nor the price. We didn't know if a second helping was included. Thus, we were a bit surprised that the cost was ~$34 for two people with water.
