Orinoco Brookline Village

Pretty funky place we stopped in after the Northeastern graduation. The waitress made sure we ordered enough food and she was right on the money.We ordered Trio de Empanadas, Costillita/short ribs, Arepa Domino, and beverages.We were so hungry and the food was so good, we realized everything was gone and we hadn't taken a single picture. Bummer. The decor was cool, so we took several photos of that.

Kind of bad service. Been waiting on seat long time.

First time here and won’t be my last. We had a large party of 15 and the management team here were great to work with scheduling in advance, as well as day of, they made the process easy. Our waitress was also great friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food was incredible. Great variety, fresh ingredients, authentic preparation and just overall delicious. Would recommend to other groups big and small, can’t wait to come back.

Tequeños are NOT Tequeños, nor do they look alike. I got a mouse ? when I went to the bathroom at the Orinoco restaurant. I also asked for a patacones service and the girl who was serving us forgot and when we asked they told us that the kitchen was already closed. ? And there were no arepas either.

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!
