While I wait for a root canal and manage mouth pain, I'm sticking to soft foods and soup. That led…read moreme to Fogonero in Cedar Park, Texas, an authentic Venezuelan restaurant. Pro tip: It's not directly on Walton Way; it's on the side of the building. Wilson, one of the owners, kindly guided me to the entrance when my GPS said I had arrived, but I still couldn't see the restaurant. Please note that there is indoor and outdoor dining along with free parking. Fogonero is best known for its empanadas, arepas, and other traditional Venezuelan specialties. While all of those sounded tempting, I was craving one food specifically...plantains. I have a real weakness for sweet fried plantains, and lately they have become my ultimate "go-to" comfort food. Fogonero's plantains hit the spot. They were perfectly sweet, moist, and enjoyable to eat. The restaurant is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a striking mural of the Venezuelan flag painted in vibrant colors across the wall. It's eye-catching, inviting, and instantly sets the tone for the experience. Alfred welcomed me with a warm smile and immediately recognized that I was there to pick up an order. He had everything packed and ready to go, making the process quick and seamless. His friendly, personable demeanor made a great first impression. I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu once my mouth is back in eating condition.

First time here! Came during lunch time and we were seated immediately…read more Husband got the creole breakfast and I ordered their pesto mushroom risotto. 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 want to try their empanadas next time!

Los Panas is a family owned Venezuelan food truck in the Anderson Mill International Food Park with…read moretasty empanadas and a delicious sauce to add on the side! FAST FACTS: * Parking: decent size lot near the food park but it can be hard to find a spot when it's busy * Walk up and order at the truck... you'll get a pager to let you know when your order is ready * Outdoor seating: lots of picnic tables around the truck * Accepts credit cards * Closed Monday and Tuesday SERVICE: The workers were friendly for the most part. I ordered at 6:53 pm on a Friday night and my order was ready at 7:04 pm. There was no line when I ordered. PRICING: The total was $8.65 after tax ($0.66) but before tip for a pabellon empanada ($7.99). I feel like the pricing was in line with the other food trucks in the park. PABELLON EMPANADA (6/10) - The empanada dough was a great thickness and was fried well. There is plenty of filling but the shredded meat was one big hunk that was hard to chew and there was one big piece of fried plantain. I would have preferred the meat and plantain to be spread throughout the empanada instead of in a single bite. I probably wouldn't order this again but would like to try other items they offer like the arepas. I wanted to give Los Panas 3.5 stars overall but bumped it up to 4 because the green sauce they have is DELICIOUS! I'm happy I tried Los Panas but wouldn't rush to come back or necessarily recommend it as a must try in the food park.

While filling, I thought these arepas were ok tastewise…read more I had the Pabellon and the top half of my arepa was really good. It had a good amount of meat, and the sweet plantain balanced out the savory cheese. But after that top layer, it's just densely packed beans with no flavor. And it just became a chore to eat. I wish the toppings were a bit more evenly distributed or even that the beans were flavored. My friend got the Catira and she didn't finish hers either so I tried a bite. While the cheese was really salty, the chicken didn't have much flavor.

Open Wednesdays to Saturdays for breakfast and lunch, and a menu with no skips - you'll want to eat through it all. Pro tip for the vegetarians: they have tomatos confit you can swap in on their loaded fries, avocado toast, or breakfast arepa. Since they do also cater events, they occasionally will be closed for a morning or afternoon unexpectedly. On the plus side, if they have extra food from an event, that becomes the special of the day until sold out. Treat your taste buds to incredible food at Brito's.

Last time I was at Cachi, Melissa told me the coffee cake was a must try and she was absolutely correct. So, I decided to do a repeat performance and get coffee cake again. Then I saw this large, chocolate chip cookie filled with Nutella that I got for my husband (wink, wink). Although he has been cutting back on sweets, he ate this cookie. He did give me a tiny (emphasis on "tiny") piece of his cookie. Melissa, the owner, is always so sweet and kind. She took the coffee cake straight out of the oven. It was warm and delicious. Overall chill vibe in the food park. Loved our sweet treats...
