FROM A LOCAL RESTAURANT IN VENEZUELA TO A
INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR EXPERIENCE
En Alturas Café was born in 2016 as a modest yet passionate venue in Mérida, Venezuela, offering the community traditional Venezuelan dishes prepared with authenticity and dedication. From the very beginning, the concept stood out for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, where every customer was treated like part of the family. The quality of the ingredients, respect for traditional recipes, and personalized service quickly turned the small food stand into a recognized spot for freshness, flavor, and hospitality.
Inspired by that genuine connection with its customers, En Alturas Café evolved with a clear vision: to transcend borders and become an ambassador of Venezuelan gastronomy on an international scale. Guided by the philosophy that good food must go hand in hand with exceptional service, the brand embraced a balance of quality, innovation, and human warmth. Today, with En Alturas International established in Florida, the dream continues to grow with the mission of bringing the Mérida-Venezuelan essence to the world and positioning itself as a global reference for flavor and excellence.
THE FACES BEHIND THE FLAVOR
the heart of the experience lies not only in the flavors of Venezuela but also in the people who bring them to life. From the moment guests arrive, they are warmly welcomed by our attentive host, whose mission is to ensure that every visitor feels at home and cared for. Our skilled baristas add to this hospitality by preparing the perfect cup, blending rich aromas and textures into coffee creations that highlight both tradition and innovation. Their passion for quality turns each sip into a celebration of our roots.
Complementing this experience, our talented bartenders craft refreshing cocktails and signature drinks that embody the spirit of Venezuelan vibrancy, adding a festive touch to every gathering. The atmosphere is elevated even further by our in-house musical band, whose lively performances fill the space with rhythm and soul, creating unforgettable moments for our guests. Together, our team represents the essence of En Alturas International: service with warmth, artistry in every detail, and an environment where food, drink, and music unite to create a truly memorable cultural experience.

I tried the arepas and tequeños at this truck, and wow — it felt like being transported straight to Caracas! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The staff was super friendly and explained the dishes for those of us new to Venezuelan food. Definitely my new favorite lunch spot.

We booked the food truck for a small corporate gathering, and it was a hit! Everyone loved the cachapas and empanadas, especially paired with the house-made sauces. The service was fast, professional, and they created such a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone wanting something unique and authentic.

I stumbled upon this food truck while walking downtown and couldn’t resist the smell. Best decision ever! The pabellón bowl was generous, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. You can tell they cook with passion. This isn’t just food — it’s culture served from a truck.
