Queso Guayanés - 1 lb

This is a type of fresh and milky cheese originating from southern Venezuela and made with pasteurized milk. Usually it is eaten as a filling for arepas, cachapas or empanadas. It is characterized by its soft texture, similar to the queso de mano but saltier and with a stronger flavor. When fresh is so delicate that it is almost spreadable. Its smooth but firm flavor is impossible to forget!

$15.00
Queso Telita - 8 oz

Perhaps the most emblematic and indigenous of the Venezuelan cheeses, typical of the Los Llanos region. It is a creamy, juicy, soft and elastic cheese, which usually appears in its serum to preserve its texture. It tends to stretch more than queso de mano and that's where its name comes from.

$10.00
Queso de Mano

This pasta filata cheese, made from Grade A cow’s milk and kneaded by hand, is a fresh, delicately flavored elastic morsel that reveals within its layers the sweet but piquant traditional taste of the South American cuisine. A very thin shiny skin invites one to have a feast with this chewy treasure. A magnificent addition to salads, this cheese is typically enjoyed either alone on roasted French bread or in sandwiches. Pair it with red berries or kiwi. Cover it with prosciutto, add a tomato-basil mixture, black olives and olive oil, close your eyes and take pleasure in this delightful treat. Serve also with arepas or cachapas!

User Reviews

The food was delicious! It tasted super authentic and you get a good amount of food for the price

Bangin! Will try to get there at least a couple times a month. It’s a really nice venue. The inside is well decorated.

This spot is a hidden gem. The Latinx music is hitting you before you even walk through the door. Feel like I’m back home in the Bronx, NY when I walk in. Their menu is easy to read and not over done. Prices are a bit on the higher end, but the food is worth it. Plantains and Empanadas are my go to. The associates there are all pleasant and have amazing customer service. Different person each time I’ve gone, but all consistently helpful and welcoming. Love it. Highly recommend.

Great food. Great people working there. Very authentic. Just like mi Abuela’s. Gracias 🙏

My family got a variety of arepas for take out and everyone loved what they ordered. I had the Caribeña Arepa - it was absolutely delicious! I found it to be more than enough for a meal and enjoyed leftovers for lunch. I also really enjoyed the Tres en Uno detox cocktail. I highly recommend checking out Juana's!

Delicious food, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and cute. Great choice if you're gluten-free, and you can get the queso removed from anything if you're avoiding dairy. The food reheats really well, too

So good. My family went in because we’d never had any of this kind of food and didn’t know what to order. They helped us make some decisions and everything was incredible! Highly recommend.

26 years ago...I visited Venezuela. I had one of the most delicious thing I have ever ate...the cachapa with a paplion de limon. I have yet to have another...until yesterday. I have been searching for a Venezuelan restaurant for years. Upon my weekend trip to State College, Pennsylvania ( WE ARE! PENN STATE!) my very first stop was Juana's. When my friend and I walked in, I was transported back to the seaside village I stayed at in Venezuela. The smell of the delicious food, the music, the family gathered in the back laughing and dancing took me there. Of course I already knew that I was having a cachapa! A deliciously sweet and savory roadside treat. The cachapa is a sweet corn pancake, prepared on a griddle stuffed with queso de Mano. The best way to describe the cheese, would be compared to a slightly firmer, salty fresh mozzarella. Let me tell you...it did not disappoint! I believe I saw The Juana as I was leaving after our delicious lunch. I told her that my heart was singing! Definitely recommend! Be adventurous! Try some amazing Venezuelan food if you are in the State College area!
