Apart from seeing the majestic Orinoco River on the banks of the La Carioca Market, the food consumed was unique, the service was spectacular.
Good food dishes, recommended all fish especially the morocoto
You can buy fish in the mornings when the Lanchitas arrive, sometimes there is a fixed stall open reselling it. They have renewed paint, some roads and cleaned many of the empty premises. There is Police Presence and Permanence, very good. In 2024, they lack motivation for some of the broken tongue-and-groove roofs and tiles. To make it better for the community, tourists and fishermen. Before Oct. 2024 The facilities needed a lot of attention, the bathroom service attended by Mrs. Luz, always punctual and clean. More than a worker, a woman committed to her duties, now on the cleaning team. Always very grateful to the staff, who are so friendly and with the resources they have, they serve the visitor. The staircase that leads to the Rincón de Los Pasillos must be completely replaced, it takes many years, only the paint does not repair the steps. The supply of drinking water to the premises that are functioning and the sewer covers are also appreciated. Wrought iron and wood lamps also require a little love. DO NOT REMOVE THEM Clean and repair. Please
The best place in the city to eat fish
Good place to taste typical Regional food, very fresh and tasty fried fish.
Something Creole for those who want to eat fried fish on the banks of the Orinoco
