Reviews for Orinoco Brookline Village in Brookline, MA
Disappointed. Service was awful. The server took so long to acknowledge us we thought we had to order online then the food took... forever to come out. We ordered appetizers and didn't get small plates or extra napkins (just the one with the silverware) wewere all latinos, we know what a good arepa is and mine was burned and I mean fully black on the bottom side....but even if itwasn't it wasn't a good arepa at all. Don't even get me started about the "tequeños". Generic plates like salmon or ribs seemedok but you can have that anywhere. Supposedly the sangria was amazing, but it isn't and it's full of cinnamon by the way.Smallest sangria glass I have ever gotten. Nothing we had felt authentic. it could fool white people but wouldn't fool anative. If you want to have authentic Latin food go somewhere else. Won't be back, won't recommend. Read more
After all these years still providing great service, food and drink. Everything we ordered was delicious. Had the tuna and an... arepa. Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Bartender was friendly, informative and provided great service. Read more
Very interesting and tasty Venezuelan cuisine. Good service. Very nice place. And a good coffee- a big plus in my mind.
We had an amazing time at Orinoco! It was a Saturday night, they were short-staffed and slammed, and they did an amazing job. We... waited probably 20-25 minutes and got to take in the decor. Great vibe, lovely details around to see. I loved seeing all thedifferent textures between the walls and the ceilings. And the lighting is perfect and beautiful. The drinks were balanced andrefreshing, we each got a cocktail. The Lulo was our favorite for sure. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the baconwrapped dates, plantains, and some empanadas. Absolutely delicious, all of it. Then I ordered some arepas and WOW were theytasty.. with this garlicky sauce on the side. And I will say, the food was extremely timely and cooked very well. I wouldabsolutely go back! Read more
Food is great and creative. Some entrees are better than others, but I would rub their homemade hot sauce all over my chest. So... good, oh so good! Also try the Pisco drinks. Read more
Very quaint. Amazing staff, food and drinks. Highly recommend for a social dinner or even alone after a late work night.... Everything I ordered was perfect and absolutely delicious! Even ordered the guava ribs to take with me. Read more
Came here for lunch. Nice spacey restaurants with booth seating, regular tables and bar seating. No music playing so was quiet... but dinner might be a different vibe. Service was quick and friendly. I asked what their recommendation was and I got the cubanosandwich which was so tasty! The portion was good as well and came with some friends plantan chips. My friend got the butternutsquash soup which was tasty and a good portion. We also tried some of the veggie empanadas which were tasty! Would recommendchecking it out! Read more
What a terrific place, we are so glad we found it. The staff is really accommodating and friendly and the ambiance is great. We... didn?t have to wait long for our food and it was absolutely scrumptious. I would definitely recommend this spot if you?re in theBrookline area. Read more
