Things to do in Maracaibo
1. Mi Vaquita

Reviewed By LeanneBeatriz - Maracaibo, Venezuela
I have been several times there, and I can summarize the whole experience of Mi Vaquita by saying it is a nice place to eat accompanied with family or friends, its specialty is meat and they offer high quality dishes. They have very nice ambient and service. At night it is also a place to dance and have a glass of wine, but people who attend at certain hours tend to be very young sometimes, so the kind of music played it could not be the best to contemporary adults.

We ate here a few times - good burgers and fries. A bit expensive like everything in Maracaibo. Probably one of the safest places you could eat in the city considering it's literally across the street from the Governor's residence. Lots of security around.

Walking in to Antica makes you almost instantly forget that you're in the middle of the gridded street behemoth that is central Maracaibo. Palm trees, relaxed atmosphere, indoor/outdoor Seating, and great staff make this one a diamond in the carjacking rough.
Above all else, the ceviche starter (served in a cup made of tostones) is out of this world, rivaling any but the best starters in NYC. Great italian thin crust pizzas made as you like them along with the usual expertly grilled meats. Excellent service, and genuinely friendly staff that go out of their way to ensure you leave full and happy.

we had a late sunday lunch, the sunday lunch crowd had already gone, so we got a table straight away, food was great, service very attentive. There's a good variety on the menu, portions are BIG , Don't miss the argentinian "empanadas" for which Mi Vaquita and La Ternerita (same ownwers ) have been famous for, for many years, they still make them the same way and they are delicious. All in all , great meal.

Reviewed By harholm - Nyborg, Denmark
Sure, we had to go eat there, to watch the whole city pases by.
The resturant looks "old" - not saying 'rundown" but could use a fresh paint, new carpet - but mostly it looked like something from the early 90's
Could use a newer / fresher look.
The service was great, we had called in advance, and no problem, there was a tabel waiting - no need for that, since only 1/3 of the resturant had people.
We aksed for a red wine and the "head waiter" came with a nice Shiraz, so that was okay - aldo he wassent sure of the price, since it was not on the wine list!
A "ensalada parma" with "jamon serano, parma cheese and so on..... well, we had 3 small slices of jamon and a few cuts of parma cheese, not starting out so great. Should have been more jamon... specialy if the sell the ensalda with jamon...
We choose a risotto sicilana, was quiet good, then came dessert! Limon pie / pie de limon - nice, but way to accid.
The piano guy played about 30-40 min and then took a long break.... we did not see him the last 30 min.
all in all, a nice place to see the city by night/day - but don't go there for the food.
Take it as a seightseeing, if your in town.
we spend 640 BsF, 3 pers - shared salad, 3 main dishes, 3 desserts, 2 long island tea's and wine.
