Most places around just offer the mini sized ones, so when I came across Los Maracuchos online and saw the more standard sized ones, we set out for an adventure. Driving up, we were a bit confused. We didn't realize at first, but it's actually located inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel. We parked and stepped inside, and walked up to the hostess/waitress at the restaurant. She seated us and showed us where the QR code on the table was to view the menu. We already had an idea as to what we wanted, so we placed the order as soon as she came to check on us. She was very helpful, kind, and so lovely! To drink, I enjoyed a papelón con limón. It was very refreshing, especially on this hot summer day. To eat (because we knew we would want to take things home as well), we ordered 4 orders of tequeños (4 come in 1 order), 3 cheese empanadas, and 1 cheese cachapa. Everything was absolutely delicious! The tequeños were cheesy and exceeded our expectations! Of course the garlic sauce that came with it was divine. The empanadas were probably the crunchiest we've ever had--so great and flavorful! The cachapa was perfectly balanced with savory cheese, sweet corn cake, and tangy nata sauce. So, did we find the best tequeño in the area? YES!!! We will definitely be returning to try more things! Thank you for serving us!

Let me begin by the service - fantastic. Unsure of her name, but she was the only individual working there. When we arrived, the place was empty. The experience felt very personal, she would approach our table, give us suggestions on her favorites (which were spot on) and was just a joy to be around. As for food, we ordered 2 Mandocas (fried plantains w/brown sugar + cheese). Delicious! I ordered a veggie quesadilla which had french fries as an accompaniment. The quesadilla had unique additions you wouldn't normally find in other establishments such as zucchini, squash, corn, carrots, etc. It was delightful and much more filling than looks suggest. My girlfriend ordered the Arepitas - Two white corn patty stuffed with shredded chicken or pork, lettuce, 4 cheese, ketchup and home mayo. She enjoyed it and also said it was pretty filling. For drinks, I ordered venezuelan soda (Frescolita) which is essentially cream soda + bubblegum. Weird, I know but it's fantastic. My girlfriend ordered passionfruit juice which was very refreshing. Our total (pre-tip) ended up being around 33 dollars which is great. We recommend trying this place out in favour of other nearby Venezuelan restaurants in order to have a unique experience and great service.

Social media. A blessing and a curse. An amazing tool to obtain information or the biggest time…read morewasting pile of trash you can't get enough of that fills you with brain rot. What does this review have in common with social media? A lot. It starts with a name. Mr. Chime Time off of TikTok who is in his Atlanta food tour reviewing places both recommended and self-discovered. He came here and ordered the popular items and did a review on his TikTok channel so after hearing it buzz around social media, I knew I had to check it out. I have never had Venezuelan food either so this was pretty cool to check out considering I live near here so I needed to definitely try this little hidden gem of a place. Apparently, Todo Frito is a chain and they've done very well for themselves. This location is tucked in the Breckenridge Commons plaza off Breckenridge Rd in Duluth and it definitely is a hidden gem! The restaurant itself is a little tiny place that seats roughly 30 people between tables and booths with outdoor seating as well. The staff is courteous, professional, and prompt with their customer interactions. There isn't much "serving" going on as the ladies who work there don't really set the tables or bus the tables either but the point of service portion between customer and establishment is very efficient. They don't lay down menus there, you come up and look at the menu before ordering and they wait for you to order so that's refreshing in terms of customer service. So I had to go with the AREPAS, an extremely messy, flavorful, saucy mix of shredded beef, coleslaw, house sauces, that takes up space between two maize flatbread patties. Get ready for it because it comes out piping hot! But it's well worth the finger burn because this is the real deal. The shredded beef is flavorful, rich, complex with the spices, and tender. The maize flatbread is toasted beautiful that adds a definitive crunch. The sauce mix both has this mayo with a garlic punch with an additional tomato based sauce that is drizzled into it. The queso de mano I'll admit isn't melted enough when the sandwich arrives and you'll have to wait for it to melt in a decent manner which is why waiting to eat the stuff is key because the moment I started on my second arepa, the cheese melted adding a whole new texture to an already wide swatch of textures that were going on. The cabbage coleslaw isn't as creamy and adds a very different crunch that adds freshness to the whole sandwich and it's that slaw that ties the whole thing together. I don't have much of a reference to know what to gauge good Venezuelan food on but with this being my first taste into Venezuelan food, I'm thoroughly impressed with it and will go back to try some other ones. The only gripe I have is that it can be a bit pricey. Not TOO pricey but when the sandwiches start at $12.99 plus tax (service charge) and then they charge for water at an extra $1, $15+ for two arepas is a bit excessive. However, if you're okay with the pricepoint, then by all means check out this location in Duluth. You could also visit their other locations throughout the ATL area!

All the meats were simply outstanding in flavor! I can't really say which meat was best, but the roasted pork was probably my least favorite. That being said, it was still very good! I also really enjoyed the unusual flavor of the sausage, which was savory and satisfying. The fried cheese was an unexpected favorite and the sauces provided were fantastic as well.
