Our Guestbook
“ Fantastically good arepas and cachapas and plantains and soup! Spacious upstairs with view of the Hudson. Super friendly staff and relaxed vibe. Really reasonably priced, good-sized portions, and four delicious sauces that come with every dish! Also- Oh Corn! catered a dinner for a work retreat I had a few weeks ago and it was a huge hit! And met all the dietary restrictions of everyone on my team no problem. Highly recommend for drop-in meal or for catering! ”
“ I first dined in with a friend who recommended this food. I like a good arepa but these arepas and cachapas are an A. Every bite is delicious and the service is great. I’ve been back a few times and continue to recommend to all I know. I can’t wait to go again. Please don’t ever close! ”
“ We were very late for our reservation, but but served as quickly and kindly, as we were also late for our event. The food was almost as described in the menu, but good vegetarian options good wine by the glass ”
“ I was in town for just a few days but when I was looking for places to grab some dinner this place caught my eye. I’m glad I made the decision to visit. All of the restaurants I visited while I was in town were great, but the food here was able to satisfy a craving that none of the other stops could satisfy. With so many great restaurants in the area I would suggest adding this one to the list of you are in the area. The staff was great at suggesting their menu options, the sauces were spot on, and the tres leches was so sweet and moist. ”
“ Much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Plenty of space but limited service (one wait staff) but service was still good. Took awhile for the food to arrive since we were a large party but It was delicious and filling and left us pretty happy. ”
“ I have lived in Troy since 2012 and this is one of the best meals I have ever had. This was our first time ever trying Venezuelan food, so I went with the traditional Pabellon Criollo and my girlfriend tried the Costillas de Cerdo. The apps, drinks, all food, and dessert were phenomenal. We loved the dining space and hospitality. We must try the Arepas next!! Cannot wait to return to try more! ”
“ I went here with a former student, who is from Venezuela, and had some of the most delicious food I've ever tasted. Everyone was so nice, and my student said it made him feel like he was at home. I see some people commenting that they had bad experiences, but they all seem to mostly be focused on price. One person even suggested they would have gone to some place more affordable, like Taco Bell. Yikes! Hey, I like Taco Bell, too... at 2am after many drinks. Still, if you're using Taco Bell as your reference to OH, Corn! you've made a wrong turn. This is Venezuelan cuisine, not Americanized fast food TexMex. I think it's just that these people don't understand what they're eating. I know I'd never had Venezuelan food before, even though I'm a well traveled and adventurous eater, but my student advised on what to order I just loved all of it. I think any negative reviews are from ignorant people. I also love that thr owner stands up for the staff!! That's the way to do it! ”
“ We got a chicken arepa and a beef (mechada) arepa. Both so good that we ordered a third arepa to share (reina... shredded chicken and avocado... maybe our favorite). Aldo tried the natural passion fruit juice. Excellent too. Will be back! ”
