5 stars for some incredible Venezuelan food! I'm still shook by everything we had. I always have…read morethis feeling that food trucks are small and overpriced but not DejaVu! Pro Tip: order ahead if you're in a hurry. We got most of our items quickly but the arepa took longer to make. I'm not complaining but just know if you're in a rush it may take a minute but it's Def worth it! The arepa with pork was super filling, enough to share for $12. Everything was so fresh and tasty, oh so crispy and those signature sauces, just wow! I was also floored by the mandoca ($4 for 1) and the tequenos ($7 for 3). I've never tried mandoca before and it was such a unique flavor and so special. And fried cheese with dough, ugh oh so good and happy dance! If you haven't been I HIGHLY recommend and the owner is super friendly! The food was so filling we didn't eat our empanadas but we are so excited to eat them later. :)

This bar is located down the road from FAMU, in the Railroad Square Art District. There is street…read moreparking available right across the street from the place. The place has an indoor bar with seating, just outside of that is some covered porch seating, and beyond that is a huge patio on artificial grass with a bunch of tables and lounge seating. The bar has a menu ful of tropical adult beverages and cuban food favs. Their food menu includes: wings, churrasco, parrilla, salads, steak, empanadas, fried queso cubes, croquetas, yuca, street corn wraps, burgers, sandwiches and plantains. I came here at night and I had to pay a $10 cover charge to get in and all I wanted to do was eat. They had a DJ pumping hits, but I did not see why a cover charge was needed. This place was empty. The bar has a lot of security floating around and I had to get patted down before I entered which I took as a sign of prior issues. The staff there was friendly. It was a nice night so I sat out on the patio. They have a full bar with an exquisite menu that includes signature cocktails, mimosa, mojitos, and daiquiris. Of course I had to try some. I had the Son of a Biche and a Miami Mojito. They were bot great and I would definitely recommend them. The menu is full of tasty fufu drinks though and you probably could not go wrong. I ordered the churrasco with chimichurri sauce. I got a side of fries, fried yuca and sweet plantains. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my food. I really liked the steak it was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The plantains were not the best that I have had, but they were good. Fries are fries. It is hard to mess them up. The yuca was good. I do not normally eat yuka, but I ate all of those. This spot is very colorful and bright and has a lot stuff going on. Probably a bit too much for me. It was like a club like atmosphere, but with a few people. I would probably recommend coming to this place for lunch unless you are into the club vibe.

Too bad we don't have Flamingoz near my house.

This is going to sound strange, but this place in the middle of Tallahassee has some of the best…read moretamales I've ever had. I qualify this observation by telling you that I actively seek out tamales in my travels across the country, and I also need you to understand I wasn't expecting to have my mind blown away by a random restaurant far away from where tamales come from. The Guatemalan version of this dish is by far my favorite, and the chef's craftsmanship is evident in every bite. The masa, the filling, and the interplay of both the mouth-feel and flavors make this a dish that I will repeatedly return for. Everything my group had this evening was top-notch, actually (the stew, the birria tacos, and the carne asada tacos). If all of those dishes were rated as "A", then the tamales would have earned an "A++++" in comparison. The ambiance and service here are both homey, genuine, and comforting. I feel as though I was visiting some friends that happen to be dang culinary geniuses. This place is on "The List" for places to eat with great regularity here in Tallahassee, and I want to see it succeed and flourish.

Dirty, food mediocre at best. Service ok. Decor ugly, reminiscent of a dive bar. Presentation poor.read more

This little treasure on Gaines Street near Doak is worth the visit. For $12 I bought two arepas…read more(For most, one is enough). But I wanted to try two different kinds. Rumbera - pulled pork and four cheeses - meaty, juicy, cheesy. Catira - chicken and four cheese - meaty, juicy, cheesy. As you can see, these are both the same. Nonetheless, excellent pulled pork and chicken flavor. The arepeas themselves are delicious. Chewy, not dense, but also with a slight crisp which made the meal. I neglected to take sauces since I took my order to go. Don't make the same mistake I did! You'll see my face again!

Both were top notch, well prepared and flavorful. The rumbera was chock full of slow cooked pork and cheese, while the pabellon burst with tender beef, plantain, and beans. Make sure to complete your meal with an ice cold Colita (a very sweet Venezuelan soda).

He said they had a live jazz performance stating later that night, but we weren't able to stay for it. I love the fried cheese on the arepa, I've never had one with that combination of ingredients and I was very pleased. The tequeos were the perfect start to the meal. I was splitting everything with my boyfriend, I liked that the steak came in two pieces and the sauce on it was delicious! I enjoyed the berry mojito a lot too!
