“ In short: everything on the menu is amazing. I have had almost everything on the menu now and it is all incredible. My favourites: beef arepa, chicken patacon and the chilaquiles. All of the empanadas are great- especially the mushroom (and I do not like mushrooms at all). It is my favourite restaurant in Halifax hands down. I should also mention that the owners and staff are such a delight. As of September 13/21 they will have expanded operating hours so if you can’t get downtown on a workday go on Saturday. I promise you will not be sorry. ”

“ Fantastic little spot on Hollis street with seating inside and a few tables outside. My wife had the breakfast sandwich and she enjoyed it. I had the Chilaquiles with 2 sunny side up eggs and it was so delicious. It was done perfectly as the tortillas were not soggy and the eggs perfectly cooked. It was a huge bowl and probably can feed 2 people. The service was excellent and very friendly. We would not hesitate to eat here again. ”

“ Some of the best bites I’ve had all year. I had the beef empanada and braised pork patacon which was surprising in all good ways. Finished with mini flan Mexicana which I want my Xmas stocking stuffed with! Great service, owner was a prince and I miss it already after just leaving half hour ago. Run don’t walk ”

“ I recently visited Verano Food Purveyors and had an amazing experience! Being completely gluten-free, I was thrilled to try their empanadas.. and oh my gawd, they did not disappoint. It’s been a long time since I’ve had something this delicious, and every bite was worth it. The flavors were rich, the texture perfect, and it genuinely hit that comfort-food craving I didn’t know I had. On top of that, the entire restaurant felt incredibly clean, including the bathrooms, which always makes a big difference. The staff was so kind. Prices were also excellent, making it a fantastic spot for a casual meal or quick bite. If you’re looking for gluten-free options that actually taste amazing and a place that takes care of the little details, Verano Food Purveyors is a must-try! ”

“ Haven't eaten as juicy an arepa before. And being a first-timer to Halifax trying out the (pork) palacone (a sandwich with fried plantain as bread) was a mind-blowing experience. We also got a chance to meet chef Eduardo, and he know he's the best. The burst of flavours on my palate is going to stay with me for a while. Please do visit if you're passing by! ”

“ I ate lunch at this restaurant twice. The service is friendly and fast! The food is really delicious. There is a few veggie options The only problem is that the ventilation doesn't work properly and the room tends to fill with smoke, I had tears in my eyes ”
