Who is Freddy? And why didn't I ever know about his cuisine before? Luckily, the HOA of my neighborhood was able to persuade Freddy's Cuisine to stop by this past weekend. If they didn't, then I would have found my way to them eventually.. somehow someday. It would have happened. But let's get back to this review! Freddy's Cuisine offers authentic Latin dishes commonly eaten from Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, etc. It's the real deal. I mean, before moving to Colorado, I lived in South Florida for 20+ years enjoying the bountiful diversity and culture of foods from those countries and more. So yeah, I was excited to try a variety of Latin food in Colorado that isn't just Mexican food. I love Mexican food but it is not the same as some food eaters would assume. There were plenty of options to choose from especially since it's a food truck. The choices ranged from arepas, empanadas, tostones, pinchos, tortas, and so forth. Plus, they make tropical fruit juices! Since time was of the essence and I'm only one person. I ordered four items, which were steak arepa la charra, trio (chicken, pork, steak) patacones, yucca fries, and Colombian empanadas. It was too much food.. thankfully, my husband and kids assisted me in finishing it all. All four items were generously portioned and flavorful especially with the chimichurri sauce and citrus guacamole that laid on top of the arepa la charra and patacones. The savoriness was complimented by the sweet plantains that is found with the arepa la charra. Empanadas and yucca fries are great to snack on alone if you're not looking to get really full. Price range is $3-$11 per item. Honestly, that's a steal for the amount of food and flavor inside each dish. I seriously wait for my next opportunity to try Freddy's Cuisine again. Maybe whenever I have family and/or friends in town that crave Latin cuisine. I'd like to try the tropical juices too.. and maybe the other half of the menu. Haha. read more

Freddy's Cuisine - four baskets of food on the grass - Food Trucks Near Me

I'll be honest, I didn't think the Vegetarian arepa would fill me up like it did. I looked around and saw other people grab their food and I thought, "Whaa? That's it?" The portions looked small. But, when I reached to grab my food, my arm fell to the ground and I dropped the food. Nah, just kidding. It was a lot heavier than I anticipated though. The aioli and citrus guacamole blended very well with the grilled vegetables. There was a little pool of water at the bottom of my paper bowl, but that's pretty normal for vegetables. (They have a tendency to perspire. Gross, right? They do that.) The arepa was very thick and soft, and added a nice texture to the dish overall. For those of you who are wondering what an arepa is. It's a flatbread made of corn dough. (Think tamale consistency, but thicker and fluffier.) As mentioned earlier, the portions looked small, but I was only able to get halfway through until I raised and waved my white flag for surrender. Overall, there was a lot of flavor and their portions were definitely *not* small. read more

When reading, keep in mind I have had an arepa from another food truck, Quiero Arepas, and it was excellent! Now for Freddy's. I got the arepa la charra with steak. The meat they call "steak" tasted like and had the consistency of ground beef, not very flavorful and not what I expected when I ordered steak. The cornmeal cake was really thick and to me tasted like it was not cooked all the way through, not good. The guacamole on the arepa was definitely store bought, tastes like the stuff from Costco. Mixed all together, it was not very satisfying to say the least. Frankly, the only part of my $10.50 meal I enjoyed were the plantains which were awesome. read more

Freddy's food truck is fantastic. Love their vegetarian arepa - corn meal cake topped with melted cheese, black beans, sweet plantain, tomato, onions, cilantro, guacamole sauce. I would get an extra order of plantains because they are SO very delicious but usually the arepa fills me up totally. Oh so good. read more

MUST TRY!!!! Was not expecting much from a food truck but Freddy's delivered a delicious and freshly made order. Ordered the steak arepa. read more

Freddy's Cuisine - Delicious steak arepa! - Food Trucks Near Me

The vegetarian arepas are so heavily loaded with grilled veggies and sauces, I was full by the time if got to the actual arepa. Nevertheless, the veggies were fresh and flavorful and the arepa was soft and delicious. I also tried to yucca fries and was intrigued by not really the flavor, but the texture if the fried root. Almost gooey inside with a deep fried shell as an exterior. Plus, the sauce (much like all the other dishes they provide) really made the dish. Not being familiar with South American food, Freddy's seems to do a decent job of serving up some delicious international cuisine. read more

One of the best food trucks I've ever eaten at! The vegetarian arepa and yucca fries are incredible, as is the homemade mango juice! Everything just tastes so fresh and unique. If you're in a big hurry, I wouldn't eat here (usually takes 10-15 minutes for orders to be ready after ordering), but this food is well worth it! read more

Freddy's Cuisine - Vegetarian Arepa - absolutely delicious! - Food Trucks Near Me

I ate at Freddy's Cuisine food truck at Civic Center Eats and found it to be a wonderful new find. They have a good menu featuring empanadas, arepas, tortasm, and perro loca along with a variety of sides and desserts. I ordered the Arepa Charra, which was fantastic. For those of your not familiar with arepas, it is a corn cake covered in delicious goodness. Mine had black beans, steak, plantains, guacamole, salsa, onions, and cheese. It was fantastic. I have been a faithful patron of Quiero Arepas for a couple of years now, but Freddy's definitely gives Quiero a run for its money. I may have to start switching off between the two. The staff was friendly and helpful. My one complaint was their speed, although I do assume it comes from making everything fresh. They were pretty busy, but I ended up waiting over 30 minutes between getting in line and receiving my food. I do have to admit that the food was well worth the wait. This puts me in a predicament as it adds yet another great food truck to hit each year at Civic Center Eats. So much food, so little time. Freddy's also provides catering services. read more

There are so many choices at Civic Center EATS that picking just one to try is basically impossible. But this place is certainly worth your vote. The food is top notch, the crew in the truck are awesome, and make sure you try the guanábana juice. read more

Loved it! This is exactly what I imagine when I think good truck food! Down to earth cooking with lots of flavor and lots of love. I ate the Apera la Charra with chicken. The arepa base was crisp yet fluffy. The side of plantains added a blast of sweetness and the citrus guacamole completed this dish. And for only $9 I left full and satisfied! Find them at Civic Center eats on Tuesdays, CU Anchutz on Wednesdays and First Friday Art Walk on Santa Fe. read more

Very friendly-run food truck with great food. Good choices for meat eaters and vegetarians. Since changing my diet, I miss their chorizo. I would recommend one of the arepas, either way. They also have a delicious fruit juice drink. I believe the man running the front said they get it from Argentina. The mango tasted like a mango, not 'yellow drink with sugar.' First time here was last St. Patrick's. The same guy, who we also always see at Civic Center Eats (he said they applied for both days this year), is still working the front of the truck. Struck up a conversation with him again this year because we showed up late both St. Party's. This year, it was the reason we walked over to Blake. It might take a few minutes to get your food but it's because they aren't making it before you order it. Like the other Denver food trucks I visit regularly, the wait is worth it. read more

Really yummy! Freddy's was in my neighborhood tonight and they did not disappoint! First time enjoying their food.

Wow. We hired Freddie's Cuisine Food Truck for a birthday party/fund raiser. Fantastic food, fantastic staff. They brought out appetizers (amazing- gone in 20 minutes) and took orders from the truck. I could eat these creations every day- yucca fries, patacones, and so much more. And it was so simple- I didn't cook a thing (and the food was better that what I ever could have done), minimal clean up, and minimal food waste. And it was fun- a food truck at our house. Everyone was so pleased. Alfredo and his family create wonderful dishes. So glad I found this crew! read more

Cornmeal topped with pork, citrus guacamole and fried plantains?? Yeah, I'll be looking for this truck again. Awesome food and friendly service! read more

Freddy's Cuisine - The best - Food Trucks Near Me

They showed up at Aurora Food Truck Rodeo. I had their vegetarian arepa (corn meal cake topped with melted cheese, black beans, sweet plantain, pico de gallo, guacamole, Aioli and chimichurri sauce--I know, right?) and it was possibly the best vegetarian entree I've had EVER (I'm 60 and have been eating mostly veg along time). Says it's from "Colombia- Venezuela" but I really think it's a creation exclusively from Freddy. The combination of flavors and textures was just wonderful, including the fried plantain, which was fresh, hot (I actually had to wait a few minutes for them to cool down), tender and sweet. This food is unlike anythng I've had or seen. Try it! read more

WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED. If you like perfectly prepared plantains, deliciously grilled chicken, incredible arepas, this is the truck for you. Everything was INCREDIBLE! Nice job, Freddy. read more

Excellent empanadas with great taste and a side dipping sauce paired with a fresh guava smoothie. I highly recommend it.

Each order is made fresh and well worth the wait. Vegan arepas with sweet plantains, yucca fries, Argentinian empanadas. Delish!

Awesome Arepas. Food can take a while to get from thentruck when crowded, but its worth the wait. All of the food was flavorfull and very fresh. read more

I was looking to get some dinner from a food truck at the art walk and came across Freddy's. I had the Arepa La Charra which had the corn base covered by meat and other things, and topped with aioli. The base was this corn thing that was like a disc of mashed potatoes, only better. There were a couple of fried plantains on top and that was like getting dessert with dinner. Food trucks aren't cheap, but there are few competitive alternatives in the art district, so this option wasn't too bad, and felt like a complete meal and it was filling. 4/2/16 I am downgrading my review for how they handle their Square terminal, pre-selecting tip percentages and not allowing a specific dollar amount. read more

Bummed. Was expecting great arepa based on reviews. They basically give you whatever food they decide to make and disregard your actual order. Not worth the 30+ minute wait today. read more

I have had the pleasure of catching up with Freddy's Cuisine on a couple of a occasions, all of which were fantastic. My husband is Colombian, so I have a pretty good sense as to what is authentic, and I definitely have a sense as to what is delicious!! Freddy's is both. Excellent arepas and empanadas! In addition, Freddy goes the extra mile to provide great service. He bailed us out of a tough last-minute situation with my daughter's school, by providing empanadas for an event I had forgotten to prepare for. You can't go wrong with Freddy, either for lunch or for an event! read more

Really disappointed in my fellow yelpers for leading me astray on this one. I got the "steak" sandwich, which was just garbage bits of beef smothered in an unintelligible combination of guacamole and sauces. The yucca fries were overcooked and very hard and crunchy. The fried plantains were good, but its hard to mess those up. The price was way to high for what was served and the service time was a little long. read more

Best food truck in Denver. The food is fresh, delicious and the service is incredible. Check them out on Facebook to find our their daily location. read more

A number of food trucks were at the Whole Foods near 1-25 and Emerson last Thursday. Freddy's offered something different and thought I'd give it a try. The arepa with chicken was a melange of tastes with guacamole and an aioli crema. I loved the combination of flavors! The underlying corn-based arepa was too dense for my liking but I can see how they would appeal to many. read more

Ate here for the first time today and it totally met or even exceeded my expectations! I'd never heard of most of the items on the menu but we just asked the guy taking orders what he recommended. We ended up getting the first entre on the menu ( awesomely seasoned Al pastor pork with black beans, plantains, guacamole and citrus salsa and some yucca fries. Some of the best food I've had in Denver! Definitely recommend this spot to anyone who likes bold fresh flavors. read more

Just had a Super Cuban Sandwich from Freddy's truck at Denver Civic Center. Absolutely the BEST sandwich ever. If you see Freddy, stop and eat. You won't regret it. read more

Delicious -- these guys have terrific food and are friendly! The arepas with pork were savory and perfectly cooked. Thanks Freddy's!

Freddy and his truck recently catered a birthday event at our house, for about 50 people, and everyone LOVED it! His food is fantastic (we especially liked the empanadas, arepas, and plantains, and the meat is all delicious). He was easy to work with, responsive, super friendly, and overall a pleasure to have at our party. We had several gluten free and vegetarian guests, and they all had options with Freddy. We would highly recommend visiting his truck or using him for a private event! read more

I had the arepa with roast pork from Freddy's food truck, it was by far the best arepa I've ever had and the pork and sauce were amazing. It was served with two plump and perfectly cooked plantains, I was in heaven. This was by far one of the best meals I've ever had and on top of it all, the service was friendly and quick. Thanks Freddy's, you done good! read more

Great food. I'm Colombian and the food taste like just home specially the arepa a la charra.

I went to Civic Center last tuesday for lunch and I founded Fredy's Cuisine truck, I had arepa with chorizo, plantains, steak tacos! The food and the service was excellent. I will try Fredy's Cuisine again anytime! read more

Nice family run awesome people. best food truck on truck row... we love the key lime pie and tacos!
