The last time I visited, I remember the locals there talking with the owners. Several saying that they are regular customers and how happy they were with the food. It's a fairly small restaurant at a strip mall off of Watt Ave. A cozy little place and the owners ( who speak Spanish ) are happy to serve you. You won't be disappointed with the food. The food is prepared well, great Caribbean flavor, and simply delicious.

I was excited to finally try this place with my husband. We came in for an early dinner during the…read moreweek and it wasn't busy at all. We had a very friendly waiter. I didn't want to write this review but I had a concern about something about the menu. I ordered the tequenos de pollo as an appetizer and the menu didn't say anything about it having cheese in which was perfect. I got the order and it in fact had cheese. I'm lactose intolerant and really sensitive to dairy so I asked about the cheese being in it. He confirmed it was in there, so I asked if they can just take it back- the waiter said no. I then asked if they can just take it off the bill because I couldn't eat it. He said no to that too. My husband doesn't eat meat and my son is lactose intolerant so it was going to be food wasted and money down the drain. I was pretty shocked because I've never been to a restaurant where they can't reasonable accommodate the guest. I then ordered my entree and the chicken was very dry and overcooked. I was not satisfied but I knew they wouldn't let me swap it for something else. Unfortunately I'm not going to rush to come back. The waiter was friendly enough but not accommodating. I get nervous when it comes to food allergies because now I know that some restaurants aren't disclosing food allergens which is actually not allowed. There are folks out here with life threatening allergies, so these places need to be careful. I'm glad I'm not one of those people but it's still disappointing.

I know there are different varieties, yellow or white, sweet/savory etc. Arepas are a food I have wanted to share with my spouse and was excited they were available here in Reno, but these were a letdown and my spouse did not get the hype. These are white and premade and quickly reheated, but might as well have been microwaved for how textureless they were. I chose to get the pork and cheese filling and I believe it was havarti cheese and the pork was about a tablespoon of shredded very salty pork. A little underwhelming for $7-8. It was also difficult to eat as the cake fell apart. During food truck event they were handing out samples of the cheese arepa, I had already ordered and was waiting for my pork arepa and wanted to see if my child would eat the cheese one (and I can add onto my order) so I took one sample. I was chastized that the samples were not for someone that has already purchased, I guess they don't expect people to order more? They are right, I will not order again.

Located right on the corner of Marconi and Howe Latin Flame food truck had a steady stream of customers pulling up and ordering. I went with the Carnitas super burrito and a canned Diet Coke. Food came out pretty fast as I was only the second person in line. I was shocked when I unwrapped the burrito. It was massive. Plenty of meat along with onions and cilantro (just how I like it) and solid rice and beans. The burrito was top notch and at a great price too, $11. Really great quality on the food here. Before I left I also wanted to try their lengua meat. I love lengua and when a place has it I make sure to try at least a couple tacos. This lengua was fire! Soft but firm and great flavor. I would come back for the lengua tacos alone. Really good food at this local food truck and the guy running it was nice and quick with the orders.

We went ahead and ordered everything our server recommended and the spread did not disappoint: Tumaco ceviche w/plantain chips- delicious cod ceviche in coconut milk, tasty and refreshing Arepa de las Monas- a very elevated cheese & mushroom arepa, super creamy and savory! Empanada de ajiaco- chicken empanada with a jalapeño-cilantro aioli, I don't know how something so simple could be so delicious and packed with flavor (my husband loved this one) Corte Andino- ribeye steak with mashed potatoe/plantains and a salad, perfect large plate to share We also ordered two drinks and I forgot the name but mine had two white gummy bears in it and it was bomb.

The ceviche was good, and the steak was cooked properly, though it's hard to mess up a steak. The Brussels sprouts were underwhelming, and the chicharrones portion was pretty skimpy.

It packed the flavor punch of homestlye cooking and would rival more expensive sit-down restaurants. What a gem! We ordered the Venezuelan arepa, birria empanada, mushroom empanada, side Macondo salad, and passion fruit juice. Every dish was fantastic, and I'd easily recommend any of the above. Venezuelan arepa -- the was ridiculously yummy. The perfect balance of creamy, rich avocado sauce with chicken. It was hearty, balanced, and perfectly seasoned. Birria empanada -- this was delicious, rich, and perfect for the particularly chilly late afternoon. Birria on point. If you're craving birria in a delectable, crispy empanada format, you'll be quite happy. Mushroom empanada -- yummy. We love mushroom empanadas and they executed this one well. Macondo side salad -- surprisingly fantastic! Did not expect it to be so tasty. It was only a side dish for the combo, but it held its own among the baked goods. That's how yummy it was. Passion fruit juice -- sweet and relatively thick. They definitely didn't water it down! If you're a fan of passion fruit juice, you'll must try this one. Environment was fast casual. Only drawback was althe comfort level of a few of the dining chairs, which sloped backwards in an awkward way. The bench actually felt more comfortable, so we opted for that. Take out seems easy and common here, so we'll like try that as well in the future. Located on a busy street, but you can almost always find free parking down one of the perpendicular side streets. Looking forward to coming back for a delicious, casual bite!

We ordered the Venezuelan, Colombian, and Pulled Pork BBQ arepas, the birria empanadas, pandebono with dulce de leche, and the chocolo arepa. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish most of the food. The birria empanadas and all three arepas were way too salty. I'm not sure if they went a little overboard with the salt today, but it was overwhelming and made it hard to enjoy anything. The pandebono with dulce de leche was also disappointing. It's described as being filled with dulce de leche, but it was actually just a plain pandebono with a small side of dulce de leche. The texture was also a bit too chewy for my liking. The only item I truly enjoyed and was able to eat was the chocolo arepa that one was actually decent. Overall, I was pretty disappointed because I really enjoy arepas and was excited to find a new spot. I may give them another try in the future in case it was just an off day, but this first experience didn't live up to my expectations.

I was really craving something dank, and so I got an arepas de queso rellena from Colombians Food Factory, and everything was so delicious, The arepa with steak was rich, but the sweetness of the corn in the actual arepa dough helped dial back the overall savoriness of everything. The dish with fries, crispy potato sticks, sausage, beef, and sauce (sorry, I don't know the name) was SO good and satisfying for an empty stomach. The sausage, potato sticks, and sauce really elevated everything. Seriously, if I find this food truck again, I'm ordering with no hesitation. Loved our food :)
