It was ok, but the pork was a bit dry. I also ordered maduros (plaintains). They were a huge disappointment. I love sweet fried plaintains, but they have to be hot. These were served cold. For me the best thing about the place was the coconut lemonade; that was certainly a pleasant surprise. The server was pleasant. The loud music and noise gave me a headache.

We went for cold brew and of course couldn't not order food once we were surrounded by the delicious smells! The empanadas are superb. The crust is so crunchy and delicious. I've had a lot of empanadas in my day and their filling is really unique and I could probably eat a tray of them *chefs kiss* but the dipping sauce it comes with is literally out of this world. I need a jar of it. The Pan De Queso was also really really good. It came with dulce de leche dipping sauce and again very uniquely different than most dulce de leches that I've tried. This place seriously has its own flavors on regular classics and I am so happy that I am within a 8 minute drive of this place. Staff was super friendly and you can't beat being in the heart of the strip for some good people watching while you munch! I can't wait to try the guava and cheese croissant and the dulce de leche hot chocolate on my next visit!

The plantains are sweet, which I don't think I personally like as much in the arepa on their own. The smoothie was good and felt healthy, not too sweet, which was good and was a decent size. The mokoa had great reviews from someone I was with, they said it was the top 3 they've ever had, so I will be back to try coffee drinks. Prices were on the average side of expensive for drinks (around $7) and the food was around good price ($7-8 per arepa). It is at a convenient location for me and they make the parking lot cute with a few tables (since they are a food truck).

Parking is a little tricky because it is street parking only, but we got lucky with a spot right out front. Ordering is super easy and efficient. They have menus up front where you order, and then you sit down and they bring your food to you. I've never tried Venezuelan food so this really was a great experience. I wanted to try it all. Here's what I ordered: [Brown Lemonade]: Tasty and different than your average lemonade [Plaintains]: Sweet with queso fresco [Arepas]: Mine had chicken & gouda and was absolutely delicious. Soft and flavorful. [Empanadas]: These were really tasty. I really loved the beef with the peppers & onions. My friends really loved their papallon bowls, and overall, the experience was really great! This was such a unique experience with unique food. I will be back!

Honestly I'm going to bump this review from 3 to 4 stars just because of her.

It was pretty dead in the actual restaurant itself, but honestly, I was looking to get in and out, so I can't speak to the ambiance much. The chips had something insanely odd going on with them. The chips tasted and smelled like they had some type of cleaning solution/product on them - something was just off. I was scared to eat anymore after realizing what was making my mouth taste sudsy (minus the bubbles). Then I was hesitant to eat the other foods that were fried because I wasn't sure what would have made the chips taste like that. Was it the chip itself, was it something in the oil that wasn't fully cleaned out, was it residue in the bag - I have no clue. But either way, the taste just lingered, so there was an underlying, sudsy taste to anything I ate afterwards. I do think the other items were fine, but can't be 100% certain. The flavor and quality of the food overall was okay. As for the dipping churros, we received neither of the dips that were supposed to come with them. We just got plain churros, which were an option, and several dollars cheaper, but we ordered the dippers. Bit of a disappointing experience.

The decor is so bright and colorful with ample seating, even though the place was not that big They use scrabble pieces as descriptions for their items they even do a giveaway using Scrabble if you can guess what the item of the day is. There are also different items per purchase from other countries from food to knickknacks. I would definitely suggest checking it out.
