We had an okay experience. I'll have to try again, but the tuna was underwhelming and not filling. Having tried the meals of two others, I thought they were pretty heavy handed with salt. Maybe an off day. The salad side was great!

It was my first time dining at Orinoco and it was an excellent experience. The atmosphere is inviting and distinctive, felt inviting after a long day. I got an Empanada Verde and Orinoco Mojito to start, a mixed salad and Parrilla Caraquea for my main, and Quesillo for dessert. I stray away from mojitos because of sweetness but I figured to give it a chance and I wasnt disappointed. It had the right balance and one of my favorite mojitos Ive ever had. The empanada had me wishing I ordered more. The main entree was excellent, hats off to the kitchen staff. The chicken, steak, chorizo, and yuca fries cooked to perfection. The flavor/seasonings were balanced, and didnt beg of anything else (sauces, etc.). I usually dont go for dessert but Id say the quesillo would be a dessert to treat yourself to. Lastly, the service was incredible. Very warm, attentive, and informative, Philip and Daniel are what made the experience for me, and are the reason I will return. Highly recommend, you wont regret giving Orinoco a try. Im looking forward to trying out more of their menu.
