Leaving a review after my third visit. Chamo is a new place in Pasadena. The food is amazing, the staff is incredibly nice, and the atmosphere is modern. They care so much about delivering the whole package.
I've never been anywhere like Chamo before. I love their arepas and empanadas so much!
There's also ample parking nearby on the top of the Mentor garage and on Colorado. Don't park on the street-level Mentor garage though! It's only for people who rent the apartments next door.
The food is excellent. I had arepas, empanadas and platanos con queso. Yum. Yum. I highly recommend it to all my friends. Great location and ample parking in the back.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!! �������� I suggest: Chicken Empanadas !!!! Shredded beef arepa, and for dessert: Arroz con leche!!!!!!
Friendly folks, good service, delicious food!
If you're tied of the same ol' thing, try some Venezuelan food.
Wow todo es muy delicioso nos invitó nuestras amigas de Venezuela faviana y Nizza y es primera vez y nos quedaron ganas de regresar mil Grasias �
The all menu is great and simple but with the great taste of the Venezuelan Sasson.

The food is very good, you have to try it, nice place.
Excelente el servicio y la comida. Soy venezolana pero vivo en Tampa, Fla. Vuelvo pronto a Este Lugar, lo recomiendo. Suerte y adelante.
AREPAS de carne mechada excelente, reina pepiada muy sabrosa, dominó 5⭐️, la de chicharrón increíble, todo muy bueno, excelente equipo, volveremos pronto 🤙🏻🇻🇪
Empanadas de queso al mejor estilo venezolano!!!! Unmmmm! 😛😛 lo demás también estaba bien rico! Pero por favor probar ese quesito blanco que se derrite y cuando muerdes le sale el juguito a la empanada se “agradece”!!!! Tenía como mil años sin poder vacilarmelo🤪🤪🤪 Con ganas de ir por más!
Un.pedacito de Venezuela, la famosa sazón de doña Lourdes y ambiente como en casa. Los precios son accesibles. Ya hacía falta.
Excelente comida! y ambiente, felicidades por este nuevo proyecto. Felicidades a los cocineros.
Excelente!! Todo ‘divino’ recomendado al cuadrado!!
Everything so tasty and FRESH...!!
Great Arepa!! Ordered the Pabellón which is filled with Shredded beef , fried plantains, black beans, shredded cheese that melts while you eat it. Very rich flavor, juicy meat and all fresh as I like it. Highly recommend this Venezuelan food place. The interior decor is awesome.
Friendly staff, great food, reasonable price. Don't be afraid to ask about the food if you have questions, they'll happily explain.
🇻🇪 VENEZEULA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - If you live in Pasadena, this is your chance to become a regular chamo or chama. If work or life brings you there and you need a quick lunch that is full of good ingredients and made with love, this is your spot.
Fresh, fast and flavorful! Had an empanada, fried with corn dough and an arepa with avocado and beans. The restaurant had a fun and friendly atmosphere!
Me encantan los tequeños, la chicha, la arepa vegetariana! 🤤 this food is sooo good!! Try the tequeños and chicha! Def put some green sauce with the tequeños. The ambiance is really nice. They have Latin music playing and creates a nice vacation vibe while you eat.
This was my first time having Venezuelan cuisine. The restaurant is colorful and has a nice atmosphere. I went with my boi, so we decided to split our dishes so we could get more variety.
We ordered two arepas
An Arepa is cornmeal slightly doughy on the inside disc that is cut in half to be filled various fillings, like a pita. I tried two kinds...
Arepa Pabellon - Juicy shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans and crumbled cheese in side an arepa. Definitivamente, mi favorito entre los dos. I think you'd like this one for sure!
Arepa LLanera - flavorful Steak, sliced riped tomatoes and avocado, and white cheese. Its a solid choice, but the Pabellon is my recommendation.
And empanada de queso - it was like an empanada except the shell wasn't much of a pie crust. It was the cornmeal dough stuffed with salty white cheese cheese and deep fired. It was really good. The outside was crisp and golden brown and the inside was soft and fluffy filled with that delicious cheese. A little small for the price, but still good.
The appetizer
Tequeños de Queso - is a thicc salted white cheese stick wrapped in dough and fried to perfection. I really enjoyed these. I think you would like them too. It comes with two dipping sauces: a creamy green flavorful one and a creamy spicy red one ( not real spicy, but if you are sensitive to spicy stick to the green).
And we washed it all down with some Parchita, passion fruit juice.
Overall, we had a good experience at Chamos. It seems like it was a good choice.
Ordered the chicken empanada with red sauce! It was really good. Beautiful sitting area inside.
