Welcome to Mil Jugos

Mil Jugos means "a thousand juices" and while the menu lists 22 varieties instead of a thousand, it's the food you should go for! It's Venezuelan cuisine served up by owner Norah Briceño. The Cachapas are beyond wonderful, sweet corn pancakes with a variety of fillings. And make sure to eat the Arepas with your hands for the full effect. They're corn bread filled with a variety of yummy fillings. Norah is passionate about her food, tell her it's your first time there and she'll make sure it's not your last.

The latest obsession, next to egg nog, is Mil Jugos

A tiny Venezuelan restaurant in downtown Santa Ana, on Fifth Street between Ross and Broadway. The name translates into 1,000 juices, but in reality, you have a choice of about 20 fruit juices. Yet the juices aren’t really the story here. Go for the arepas or cachapas. Mil Jugos, a small Venezuelan cafe in downtown Santa Ana, is a misnomer for a couple of reasons.

First, by my count, the cafe serves about 20 juices, not, as the name implies 1,000. Second and, I think, more critical, fruit juice is of tertiary importance, compared with the lists of arepas and cachapas on the menu.
