I love plantain! Aleida's has the best plantain in town full stop! We were literally a few few steps from the restaurant where my sorority event was held (Summer Moon Coffee). Aleida's is a hidden treasure in a strip center near Summer Moon Coffee. The interior is lush with greenery and large wall length colorful mural. Today I noticed two walls of photos and paintings highlighting the Latin culture. This is a family owned business and it shows. The food feels like a its made with love. The flavors and presentation are personal. I ordered plantain (of course!), a corn breakfast taco with chicken and some Venezuelan flan. All were exceptional. My server was super personable and Texas friendly. He pleasantly persuaded me to try the Venezuelan flan because it was made by his mom. It does not take much for me to get weak at knees for dessert. Excellent, authentic restaurant...I highly recommend this restaurant.

We came in on a Monday night, relatively early, so we sat right away. The vibe is fun, great, colorful mural on one wall, neat lighting, bright little bar. I got the Aztec Ruby drink, really nice. I got the Arepa Tropical and the shrimp and veggies inside were delicious. They have an eclectic menu in terms of the fact that in addition to tacos y arepas they had a Philly cheesesteak sub that was delicious. My son got their buffalo wings and loved them and raved about their rice. Nothing to complain about.

We were in the area so decided to check out this "northern" gem. The restaurant was small and quaint, but the menu was big and extensive! They offered breakfast, brunch, lunch/dinner, and a full service bar! Pick your vibe for the meal, they've got it. The food was excellent. I got the cachapa and added the fried pork (per our waiters recommendation) and it was awesome. They even had a house made hot sauce that paired perfectly with it. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

I never really had Venezuelan food before but their breakfast food was really good. The boss man gave us some extra sauces mid meal to do a tri mix and made it even better. The single breakfast plate was a lot of food. Enough to feed two people and really great for the price. Not a lot of places in Austin do this. I have to travel out a bit for this. I was curious about the shark empanada but was disappointed they didn't have any this day. Perhaps next time will have some. This place opens early enough so it's a good spot to hit before any event in the area.

New spot - same great food! Now they have alcohol too! We love the new location. The addition of a bar, patio and upgraded seating inside make it a much better dine-in experience.

Second time visiting but it wasn't as good. I got the Aleida's sampler, which includes mini arepas and other fried stuff. Although I shared it with my bf, it was difficult to finish because I think everything tasted the same. The interior is still as pretty as ever! Maybe I will stick with getting the big arepas next time but this visit was definitely 3 stars.

Hubby loved his food. I did not. My Arepa Special Breakfast said it would be filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, black beans, bacon, avocado and grilled cheese. What I got was scrambled eggs and cheese. The girl brought me some bacon but that was it. I mean, come on! I couldn't remember exactly what I was supposed to get so just ate as much as I could but not much. Oh well, I will never go back.

We stopped by Aleida's for a quick bite on a Sunday evening. The meal was good, but IMHO the place is not worthy of the almost 5-star rating posted online. The restaurant is a small "hole in the wall" storefront in a strip mall. Not necessarily a bad thing! But smaller than one would think. They are moving to another spot in the small mall, which we drove by on the way out. Larger space, area for a full bar, the licenses for which have been applied for based on the poster in the window of the restaurant. The only drinks/cocktails available this evening was one beer. Many of the items on the menu were "out of stock"... the restaurant's signature red sauce, all the desserts except tres leches cake, cachpas (didn't have those), etc., all not available. However, what we were able to order was good! We started with an order of chips and queso... chips warm, nice and crisp, the queso OK but unremarkable, some melted cheese and very small bits of peppers, red, green and orange (guessing red and green jalapenos and scotch bonnets). The tortilla soup was a standout... nice broth, ton of shredded chicken, seasoned a bit heavy, but tasty! We also had the jalapeno chicken arepas and a chicken burrito. Both were very good; the burrito was probably our favorite of the two entrees. Forgot a pic of the burrito... sorry about that! LOL Tips for management ... it wasn't busy. In fact, no customers there when we walked in. The staff laughing and joking in the back... a table full of old dishes and trash was closest to the order/register, food from the days diners was obvious all over the floor, the bottles of salsa bought to our table were not clean. If the staff has time (obviously it did) the place should be spotless.

Come here a couple of times and always had great experiences! Each time I've come at lunch and been served right away. The employees have been consistently friendly and efficient in their service I've never had a bad meal here, but their cachapa panellon is the dish I find myself going to most often. There's only a handful of places in the Austin area that serve it and I definitely think they do it the best I appreciate the depth of arepa options they have, I'm surprised more places don't have a breakfast arepa option. There's also plenty of non arepa/cachapa options that are also high quality, so I've had this place in my regular rotation for a while and never gotten bored Overall I can't recommend strongly enough if you live in the Austin area or are visiting from a place where Venezuelan food isn't available

Pamela S.

We've been to Aleidas four times now. Fortunately it's very close by in our neighborhood. The space itself is bright, colorful, clean and relaxed. The owner and the other staff are friendly and share their knowledge about the food. The food is great, including the wonderful choice of flavorful sauces. We are big fans of Aleidas frozen margaritas! Ample, free parking is a plus.

I'm really floored by the five-star rating here. My wife and I decided to try this place recently, as it'd been on our list for a while due to the positive reviews and nice looking photos. We spent just over $50 w/to-go tip on taquenos, a burrito (w/tiniest chips and queso side I've ever seen), and an arepa. The food was not good, and I can give some specific examples: In addition to being dry and insufficiently seasoned, the burrito had large pieces of hard, unripe avocado in it that were literally inedible. The somewhat sub-par queso came in a tiny cup the size of a sauce to-go container, with only a handful of chips that fit inside in burrito's box with plenty of room to spare. The tequenos were okay, but my wife said she wasn't a fan of the arepa either (I'm writing this review without her, so unable to provide as much detail. She does, however, like Arepas in general.). After the whole experience, I have to question whether this rating is somehow being bolstered by friends and family, or whether the restaurant has gone massively downhill. As for the $50 we spent, I would have preferred a meal at In-N-Out burger, Taco Bell, or my elementary school cafeteria. Hard, hard pass. Also, the burrito I got for ~$17 only came with the option of shredded meat. "Grilled" chicken would have been another $3, which makes it a $20 burrito. Seriously??? I thought "I must have a really nice thing coming here with the burrito being this expensive, and it does come with chips and queso after all," but no, Chipotle would have been a treat in comparison. read more

My son and I decided to have a summermoon coffee and then find a new place to eat. We never noticed before, but a couple of doors down Summermoon is Aleida's Latin food... This place is relatively new, just over a year old, but it is so clean that it feels brand new (perfect) The decoration is cheerfully Latin; music is upbeat and contagious. There is a little taste of many Latin flavors; I'm particularly attracted to Venezuelan food. So yummy. We tried the delicious and crunchy empanadas; we also had Cachapas. This was amazing; two people can share one. It is made of corn filled with beans, plantain, lots of cheese and your choice of meat, plus spices to make them flavorful not spicy... It had some more ingredients, but the point is that it is so good! This was our first visit but not the last... Will recommend this place to everyone... You can't go wrong eating here read more

We walked into a quaint, on the smaller sized, maybe four to five booths, with equal amount of tables. You follow the tiles to the left to order your food at the counter. On your way there are two Huge windows with monitor screens constantly showing beautiful scenic views of Central and South America...a great pastime while you wait for the food. It's a festive atmosphere with fiesta flags parading the ceiling. Very nice. Now for the food.... My plate was DELICIOSO!!! I ordered a make yourself bowl with shrimp and veggies, black beans, red onions (mostly veggies) with guacamole. Very filling and as I mentioned Delicious. The Aleida's sauce is very tasty and compliments whatever you put it on, including your fingers. The Arepa is one of their Venezuelan cuisine selections. We ordered two Arepas and a Mexican selection of what turned out to be a Huge Quesadilla. Four huge pieces of chicken and cheese filled, perfectly cooked quesadilla. Back to the Arepa...kinda like a Mexican Gordita but larger and overflowing with the protein of your choice ranging from chicken, beef, pork, to shrimp and not the little bitty shrimp but good sized perfectly grilled shrimp. Be careful if you order jalapeños because they are not skimpy when they create these masterpieces! Everyone left with a leftover bag except me, I ALWAYS finish my food. Oh, desserts, the Chocolate cake is Amazingly chocolaty with little crunchy rice crispy treats snuggling in with chocolate nuggets. My grandson Loved his chocolate cake. The cake was so big, he carried half of it home...hey, that boy can eat. The management is also amazing. The young lady at the counter was gracious and so friendly. The only other person there appeared to be the owner/cook. He would come out delivering orders to tables and greet the customers. He noticed our lost look and immediately came asking if this was our first visit to which we confirmed then he ran to the back and brought out an Arepa and began explaining what it was, how it is made and how one per person would be enough. Overall, this is an AMAZING find. We visit a new restaurant every other week. I rarely review any of these restaurants for one reason or another plus I don't like to bash mundane or bad food or service. I believe only in praise and will praise ONLY those that are worthy. My friends, this restaurant is Worthy of Praise! You must try it out. I will certainly return. read more

The decor got me right away. As a Latin music lover, I was delighted to see on the wall photos of iconic musicians from across Latin America. Where else do you find that around here? There's also a life-size copy of Venezuela's national tree and cool window panes showing moving scenes from various countries. They keep the place is clean and neat. The food is authentic Venezuelan, with Mexican and Italian dishes too. I've gone four times and the food has been flavorful, fresh, filling and served in good time. (The fried plantains was the only exception--I've had better.) They have a variety of sauces; I already have a favorite. The staff is bilingual and a pleasure to interact with. Cedar Park is full of restaurants, but Aleida's is one-of-a-kind, run by people who obviously care and know what they're doing. read more

Their cachapas are on another level! I'm from Venezuela originally and the last time I had cachapas this good was via Caracas-Oriente in Venezuela. The restaurant is family owned by a family that was in the catering business in Venezuela. They experimented with all types of corn here in the US to arrive at their recipe which most closely tastes like authentic Venezuelan cachapas. I also had their empanadas which were crispy and delicious. I can't wait to keep trying more items from their menu! read more

We went yesterday for lunch and I am still thinking of it. We have been several times and the food is always amazing. The staff (I believe the family) are helpful and will help you with the menu. I was always getting the Pabellion plate and yesterday I tried the Chacapa plate. It was one of the better things I have had lately. It was a great corn cake folded over plantains, beans, melted cheese and shredded beef. On top of it was an incredible sauce with even more cheese. Ask they explained it to me, it is salty and sweet. I topped it off with a mango drink that they make in house. I recommend this place. Especially if you are gluten intolerant. you won't be disappointed and won't leave hungry. read more

Husband enjoyed his plate and finished it within a few minutes. It came with 2 different types of sauces: a white cilantro flavored one and a red mild sauce that was a bit spicy for him. The pesto mushroom risotto was good, but a little salty for my liking. If you want to add protein, it's ~$6 for beef or shrimp and ~$4 for chicken. Overall, it was good! We'll most likely be back.

I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

They allowed me to sub the beans for extra rice - Surf and turf sandwich: Hubby said it was okay but adding more of the green sauce helped a bit - Filet mignon (can't remember the exact name): our other friend liked his staff as well!

There's also a decent play area that I *assume* kids can play on, though it's off to one side and near some camper vans. Brito's appears to be Venezuelan-Texan food, with a variety of burgers alongside brisket arepas and empanadas. For a weekday, they had a steady stream of customers the whole time I was here, though I didn't have to wait long either. The woman taking orders was so sweet and even ran my card out to me when I accidentally left it in the card reader. I ended up ordering the brisket arepa at the recommendation of a regular customer ahead of me in line. Delicious. They make a good brisket, y'all! The succulent meat fusing with latinx influence of the arepa for a result reminiscent of Valentina's taco truck (RIP). I'm not an arepa expert, but it was delicious, and PACKED with the good stuff. No skimping here. It also comes with a salsa that seemed like an avocado sauce...only thing I would change is for the sauce to be stronger, as it was too subtle for me and I like a kick. Can't wait to come back and try the burgers now that I know they can cook a brisket.

The customer service is always amazing across all the employees, but especially the nice older guy. I have ordered their lamb gyros, which are always on point with huge servings. One of the few meals I actually like uncooked tomatoes in. The tzatziki sauce is so perky, it compliments the seasoning of the extremely flavorful and tender lamb perfectly. The Gyro Plate was one of the first "bigger" meals that I got. It tasted heavenly and was worth the extra price from the gyro wrap. It was my first experience with their hummus, which is some of the best I've ever had. I brought some home to my family because they sell tubs of hummus to go (for a similar price to what you could get at HEB, actually, and much better) and they ate it all within minutes. This has been a regular thing too. During lent I would order a lentil soup, pita, and falafel side that totaled at just under $6. This is an incredible price for how good it is. The falafels are genuinely the best falafels I have ever tried, crispy (but not hard) on the outside, and fluffy (not soggy) on the inside. Flavor was amazing. Just last week I ordered a lamb kebab plate. Folks, be prepared if you order this. This meal is HUGE. The lamb was heavenly, and I was really happy that they grilled the kebabs with some onions and peppers, really added flavor. The kebabs are made to order, so they're always fresh. Its worth the wait fellas. Come back and give this one a try if you're not rushed. Can I also mention they gave me a free soda on this one? What a nice restaurant! They're always quick except for kebabs (but give 'em the grace because its fresh cooking). 10/10 restaurant, give it a shot!

You can always recognize a solid ethnic restaurant when people from that culture come in, talk with the waitstaff in their native languages, and eat the food the way it's intended to be eaten.

We recently visited Aleida's new location for a family dinner, and it did not disappoint. We had been to their previous, smaller spot before and always enjoyed the food, so we were excited to try the new space. The new location is still on the smaller side, which gives it a cozy and intimate feel, but it's also very charming and thoughtfully decorated. We chose to sit on the patio, which was quiet, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxed Friday night without the usual crowds. The service really stood out. The staff was incredibly hospitable--patient, attentive, and more than happy to walk us through the menu and answer all of our questions. Even with a smaller team, they handled everything very well and made us feel welcome throughout the entire visit. The menu offers a great variety for a restaurant of its size. There are plenty of options, especially if you enjoy arepas--they have a wide selection, and they're all worth trying. Everything we ordered tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. I had the pork belly arepa, which was excellent, and my wife ordered the nachos topped with pulled pork and queso--also a great choice. What we appreciated most is that there's something for everyone. The menu ranges from breakfast and brunch items to traditional Latin dishes like tacos and quesadillas, along with familiar options like burgers, wings, and nachos. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back to try more. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food and welcoming service, this place is absolutely worth checking out:: read more

Aleida's Restaurant is a true delight for anyone craving vibrant Latin flavors, particularly from Venezuela and Mexico. One of the standout dishes was their *cachapa*, which was absolutely massive and incredibly delicious. The sweet corn pancake was perfectly cooked, and it came generously stuffed with tender, flavorful shredded meat, accompanied by a variety of tasty sides. It was so hearty that it could easily serve as at least two meals, making it not only delicious but also a great value. The sampler platter was another highlight, offering a perfect introduction to the restaurant's diverse menu. Each item was scrumptious and gave us a fantastic sense of what Aleida's has to offer. Among the treats, the *tequeños* were particularly noteworthy--crispy, golden, and filled with creamy cheese, they were a perfect start to the meal. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The restaurant itself is adorably decorated, reflecting the warmth and authenticity of the Latin cultures they represent. The ambiance truly complements the food, making it a cozy and inviting spot. Whether you're a fan of Venezuelan or Mexican cuisine--or just looking to try something new--Aleida's Restaurant is a must-visit. The combination of flavorful food, great service, and a charming atmosphere makes it a standout in the area. read more

I went to Aleida's for my birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We took our time eating out appetizer and drink and never felt rushed. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, making it a great place for both casual meals and special occasions. The highlight of the evening was the Grilled salmon in a creamy passion fruit sauce, topped with grilled jumbo shrimp. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Service was prompt, and the prices felt reasonable for the quality provided. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.

Tucked away from the well-trodden paths of Texas culinary fame, Aleida's Restaurant is a hidden gem that beckons with the rich and vibrant flavors of Venezuela. In a state renowned for its hearty Mexican and iconic Tex-Mex dishes, Aleida's stands out as a testament to the undiscovered and uncommercialized. From the moment you step in, the aroma transports you straight to the heart of Caracas. Every bite is a symphony of authentic Venezuelan zest, making it, without doubt, the best Venezuelan eatery in the Lone Star State. For those looking to embark on a unique gastronomic adventure, Aleida's is the destination. Texas might be known for its stars, but Aleida's shines the brightest. read more
