Our story

A Venezuelan dream,
cooked in Algeciras

Behind Budare's is Helen. She arrived in Spain a few years ago with her family and, in January 2026, opened the doors of this small place to bring a little piece of her country to Algeciras.

"We arrived like any migrant — full of hope, and determined to build a future."

Back in Venezuela her life revolved around commerce and pastry-making, but cooking was always her passion. That same passion goes into every arepa, every cachapa and every custom cake today. Budare's has become a meeting point for the Venezuelan and Latin community of Algeciras — and for anyone curious to discover a different flavour.

— Helen, Budare's

Questions, answered

Good to know before you come

Is there Venezuelan food in Algeciras?
Yes — Budare's serves homemade arepas, cachapas, tequeños, empanadas and patacones, all freshly made. Closed Mondays, open the rest of the week including Sundays.
What kind of food does Budare's serve?
Homemade Venezuelan and Latin American cooking, made to order: arepas, cachapas, tequeños, empanadas, patacones, Latin burgers, hot dogs and more — plus custom cakes to order.
Where can I eat near the Algeciras ferry port?
Budare's is a short drive from the port, so it works well before or after a Tangier or Ceuta ferry. Weekday hours 9:30–15:30 and 19:30–23:30; weekends from 13:00.
Is Budare's close to Gibraltar?
About 15–20 minutes by car from the border via La Línea — an easy trip for Venezuelan food you won't find on the Rock.
What is an arepa?
Venezuela's daily bread: a grilled corn pocket, crisp outside, soft inside, split and filled. The classic reina pepiada comes with creamy chicken and avocado. Every arepa here is made to order.
What are the opening hours?
Closed Mondays. Tuesday to Friday: 9:30–15:30 and 19:30–23:30. Saturday and Sunday: 13:00–15:30 and 19:30–23:30 — yes, Sundays are on.
