Fescolita is a Venezuelan Soda, very similar in flavor and looks to Big Red. The tequeños were Texas sized, and could be a meal by itself. Tequeños are Venezuelan's idea of Mozzarella sticks- not to be missed. Ground beef empanada was very tasty. I did take a bite out of the Reina Pepiada arepa, before packing it into a to-go box, it was great! The Reina Pepiada is an arepa filled with Venezuelan style chicken salad, which includes avocado. For any Venezuelans, the place also has a mini store, where Venezuelan Food items can be purchased. Very good quality food. Big enough for Texas sized appetites too!

I haven't tried much Venezuelan food. This Arepa was amazing! I like the texture of the outer corn sandiwch/bread thing. It is crispy yet soft (and not too fried to where you feel gross after eating it). I like the avocado and tartar sauce. The meat was flavorful.

Just keep it in the wrapper and enjoy it to yourself! The passionfruit drink they had was also delicious. I've never tried anything like that. She gave us a sample and I was instantly sold. The empanadas were decent, but also huge. You can probably just share one with 1-2 other people if you're just looking for a taste to go along with your arepas. Don't make the same mistake we did and order one each. Fries were also pretty good. For just being a relatively basic fry it just had some nice flavor and crunch. The dipping sauce was also nice to have!

We ordered salchipapas and the patacon, the food took over 30 mins to come out, which I guess it is expected because it seems to be home made and of course it was packed. Everything tasted really good, the one thing I would mention is that everything was served on top of their paper, the patacon was juicy with sauce and coleslaw that just soaked though the paper, I ended up having to remove the paper after it just falling apart and becoming part of my meal. But overall really delicious!

Según las reseñas anteriores, esperábamos una mejor experiencia, pero lamentablemente esta visita no cumplió con nuestros estándares. Pedimos el bistec con chimichurri término medio, y llegó bien cocido. Las papas fritas estaban blandas y la bebida gaseosa estaba claramente aguada. Cuando mencionamos estos problemas, no se ofreció ningún reemplazo ni solución. En general, la falta de calidad en la comida y en el servicio al cliente hizo que fuera una experiencia decepcionante.

The photos and descriptions on their truck and menu look amazingly mouthwatering. Naturally, we ordered based on that. What we received was NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, like what we saw or read. Unfortunately, I didn't get good pics because it was already dark. DH ordered the Cubano Sliders. 4 sliders with fries, and he opted for the garlic Parmesan fries. We've had plenty of sliders in our lives, and these things were TINY. They looked like delicious sliders in the menu photo, but you know the chicken minis you can get at Chik-Fil-A? That's how big they were. One or 1 1/2 bites each. Super small. The fries very garlic-heavy, but we like garlic so that wasn't too terrible, but the fries themselves were not good. Too crisp and dry inside, they just snapped off when you took a bite. The other dish was Pollo Guisado. I'm not denying what "guisado" style chicken is, and in my photo it is pretty accurate, but the photo they display- which was what I wanted- is completely different. Couldn't be more opposite! Their photo and description showed whole pieces of chicken with grilled peppers and onions, rice on the side. Looked pretty delicious. The young girl who took my order said they could do vegetables but it's extra. Huh? Ok, but the picture with the vegetables looked great so I went with it. She asked which beans I wanted (not in the menu photo) but I chose to skip the beans. What I received was a pile of pulled chicken (found a few bones inside!) with rice, some previously frozen mixed vegetable blend (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) that tasted way off, and fried plantains whose dominant flavor was the oil in which they were cooked. No whole pieces of chicken, no grilled peppers and onions, nothing in any way resembling what they advertised on their truck. For the two meals, it cost roughly $31. Not worth it in any way whatsoever. FWIW, our friend ordered a burger from the other truck and enjoyed it. We enjoyed Ernie's itself but the next time we go, we'll either get a burger from the other truck or get better food down the street. We were so hopeful for this one but it's a hard pass from here on out.
