    BEVERAGES

    Cold Drinks

    • Chicha

      Made with rice, milk, condensed milk, and cinnamon, this drink-dessert refreshes and fills you up at the same time. It is thicker, sweeter, and in our opinion, way better than an Mexican Horchata.
      OUT OF STOCK
      $6.96
    • Natural Juices

      Our sweet, delicious juices are blended from frozen natural fruit pulp.
      $4.99
    • Papelón con limón

      Venezuelan lemonade? More than that. Papelon con limon is the ultimate drink for summer. Made in a special way, it contains lemon juice, water, and panela (unrefined raw cane sugar). The last ingredient will give you 40% more energy to your battery.
      $4.99
    • Nestea

      Venezuelan Sweet Iced Tea. It's just on a different level, this one. Two flavors.

    • Sodas (12oz)

      A most have for Venezuelan restaurants.

    Coffee/Chocolates

    • Espresso (2oz)

      Our espresso is crafted from a rich Colombian-style roast, freshly ground just before brewing for a bold and aromatic flavor. Each shot delivers 2oz of smooth intensity - or double up for even more at a value price.
      $3.25
    • Americano (12oz)

      Our Americano is crafted from freshly ground Colombian-style espresso, blended with hot water for a smooth, balanced brew. Available in 12oz or 16oz - a clean and satisfying way to enjoy rich coffee flavor without the intensity of a straight shot.
      $4.25
    • Latte

      Smooth and mellow, our latte starts with a single shot of freshly ground Colombian-style espresso, blended with steamed milk and a light touch of foam. Available in 12oz or 16oz, it's perfect on its own or enhanced with a flavored syrup - try hazelnut (the owner's favorite), the popular classic caramel, or even sugar-free French vanilla.
      $4.75
    • Cappuccino

      Our cappuccino features a two shot of freshly ground Colombian-style espresso, blended with steamed milk but with more airy foam for a stronger, more pronounced flavor. Choose 12oz or 16oz, and customize for iced and with syrups like lavender, or pistachio for a personal touch.
      $4.75
    • Rockuccino (16oz)

      Just like "The Khalid" shake was created by a proud ex-employee from when the store was called "Rock N Roll Ice Cream", Rockuccino is our signature frappe coffee with ingredients like caramel, cocoa, and vanilla ice cream; another fan favorite recipe acquired by La Maracucha Restaurant with the merge with "Ice Cream & Crêpes Eatery".
      $8.99
    • Mocha

      A rich blend of espresso, real cocoa, and steamed milk, our mocha offers a bold yet smooth profile with deep chocolate notes. A balanced and satisfying indulgence with coffee's edge. Available in 12oz or 16oz.
      $4.99
    • Cortadito (3oz)

      Our cortadito brings together equal parts bold espresso and steamed whole milk for a smooth, creamy finish. Served in an 6oz portion, it's a richer, more generous take on the classic - strong balanced, and deeply satisfying. A huge customer's favorite.
      $4.25
