    Empanadas de pabellón, carne mechada, plátano y queso

    Authentic Venezuelan food. It's always good and they're always nice. Get the pabellón empanada or try a queso y plátano empanada :) Cute little place too.

    Dona Aura - land and sea - steak and shrimp

    1Chick 1Bro, I call the Triangle house. My husband asks where should we eat when near Gulfport or St. Pete, my answer is the triangle house. This is it! You will see when you get there. It's a triangle from the outside. This is BOMB Venezuelan arepas and we have been here at least three times, and sit in the same spot. That's how much we love it. The arepas we get are the pabellon(shredded beef), and the Dona Aura is my FAVE. It's the best of both worlds steak and shrimp. These arepas are filled to the rim with bursting flavor. Just eat it with the wrapper around it so it doesn't get all on your hands but know you will enjoy its every bite. The owners are 1 Chick who is so friendly and her bro(chef) and many of the girls ringing up are their family so a great Venezuelan family business. Just found out that 11 Chicks Venezuelan food in St. Pete by Central is their sister. There, they have arepas too and label them on the menu as each chick. This spot is small, but comfy, and clean and inside and outside tables. It is bigger than 11 Chicks. I'll keep coming back here! Love their Legit mouth watering Venezuelan arepas!!! They also have bowls, cachapas, tequenos, awesome venezuelan food!!

    My husband and I ate at 1Chick 1Bro last week for lunch and we were so impressed with the flavorful food. I've never tried anything quite like it before and we can't wait to go back again. He had the pork, I think it was the #4. I enjoyed the #15 steak and grilled shrimp with avocado and pickled red onions. The staff were friendly and even came to our table to make sure everything tasted great. It's a small place with about 6 tables total inside and a few picnic tables with umbrellas outside. The restaurant has a colorful vibrant vibe and very clean. I can't wait to go back again.

    Amazing food everything was so fresh. The bread was absolutely amazing you can tell it's homemade very yum.

    Hands down, AMAZING!!!! I haven't had food this good and satisfying in a long time. I have always been a huge fan of 11 Chicks (also amazing), but we moved over to the west side of town. My husband and I ordered the #3 arepa (Pabellon), the Venezuelan Criollo bowl, and the empanadas. Everything was delicious! These days, when we go eat out, the food is good, but 9 times out of 10, not worth the money and you're still hungry when you get home! This place was worth every penny!!! We even wanted to order another arepa because it was so good, but we were too stuffed!!! The arepas were crunchy, yet soft, and so yummmmm. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Do your taste buds a favor and come here! You will not be disappointed!!!

    Honestly it doesn't look like much. A tiny place, a cool vibe, and just some amazing food. Genuine surprise and delight. Five stars!!!!!

    Venezuelan food is getting big around here. And well it should. There is nothing like a fresh & creatively flavored arepa sandwich. We entered 1Chick & were immediately excited. The restaurant is clean and well designed inside. The workers were friendly & the food was excellent. I ordered a chicken & avocado arepa. There was no skimping on the filling. Tons of chicken breast & tons of fresh avocado. The arepa itself was a warm & freshly prepared pair of corn cakes that tasted amazing. The server brought us two squeeze bottles of additional sauces which were excellent as well. What a tasty meal.

    Tacos-2 beef, 1 chicken.

    Outstanding and delicious food. Friendly service and fast. This is a small place but very efficient! We ordered a #4, #10, a party plate and a few Venezuelan empanadas. The food was hot, plentiful and delicious! The porky pig was fabulous! Pork belly cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The surf and turf was full of steak and tons of shrimp. The party plate has lots of delicious meats and we opted for the mini arepas as the side. The empanadas are flavorful and scrumptious! We took our family there from out of state and they enjoyed it as much as we did! They had a porky pig and tacos. We'll be back very soon!!

    Two heavenly sauces
    Emerson T.

    Everything about this restaurant is amazing!! I can't get enough of the arepas. I didn't even take a picture of my meal because I ate it immediately. The food is truly phenomenal, it comes out fast and it's hot and always delicious. I plan to be a repeat customer!!

    Arepas trio, empanada and side of avocado.

After looking at reviews on Yelp, we decided to check out Alma Llanera in St Pete. We made the drive and were welcomed when we walked in. They have a great overall selection on their menu, a variety of authentic Venezuelan dishes you can dig in to. Really, we were craving empanadas - but we are eager to try more dishes next time. We ordered three carne mechada empanadas (shredded beef hand pies), one cheese empanada, and two mora natural juices. Each orderaccompanied with a side of their house sauces that compliment the natural on-going flavors of the empanda - a creamy, white garlic sauce (salsa de ajo) and a cilantro based sauce (salsa de cilantro). The moment you sink you teeth into their empanadas, you're brought to a whole new world - A country called Venezuela! You are instantly met were explosive delicious flavors. The outter shell of the empanada has this savory, with a slight hint of sweet flavor. The inner part is stuffed with tender, satuéed shredded beef, you can taste the amazing flavors of the sofrito based meat. I would recommend anyone, someone who has yet to try this place to someone who eats empanadas on a daily basis, to come on and give them a whirl. It's a must try!

While taking a look of the menu, she mentioned again about not taking too long to order because the kitchen was closing soon, this was not even 5 min after giving us the menu ( if you are rushing to close just don't take more people and avoid having a bad attitude or experience ). Food 7 of 10 ( Venezuelan bbq was really good and tasty chorizos were delicious, sides were really well Cooked and flavory, Brazilian picanha was cooked perfect, chimichurri sauce was perfect but amount was very little, and cachapas were the weakest point.. cachapa had an old or musty aftertaste definitely horrible won't recommend it. Price is reasonable, first Venezuelan restaurant that I don't feel is overpriced ( 2 cachapas, 1 picanha 12 oz $52 ) As a former server.. please teach or do training sessions with servers to increase quality and positive outcomes.

Also, the arepa "patties" are small relative to the meat/lettuce filling. I kind of wished they were bigger. There was more meat than arepa lol.
