Last week, we decided to check out a Venezuelan spot we found on 41, El Tizon Grill. I was excited…read morefor some cachapa, but it left a bit to be desired. We arrived Saturday about 4 for a bite. We grabbed a seat by the door. Our server was friendly. We looked over the menu and decided to to start with some tequenos. We placed our app order while we kept looking for our mains. Our tequenos came out first and looked great. They were served with two sauces that were quite flavorful. We both enjoyed our appetizer. We then placed our order for a chicken salad arepa and a cachapa with picanha steak for our main meals. Our cachapa came out about 5 minutes after we ordered. It looked good, but sadly it was cold. Both the pancake and the steak were cold. It wasn't fresh and wasn't reheated properly. It was pretty disappointing. We waited another 10-15 minutes and our areap came out. Thankfully, this one was hot and prepared correctly. The flavor was good and we both enjoyed it. Overall, our first visit was a bit disappointing. Being served cold and reheated food that wasn't even warm was less than ideal. I don't see us returning.

I got the patacon with shredded beef. I was expecting a sort of fried plantain sandwich with the shredded beef in the middle, but it was still delicious. My husband got one of the cachapas that I got to try. I like how the corn flour is coarsely ground where I can still see and taste the corn kernels. My brother for the llanera arepa that he did not let me try but it still looked delicious. The staff was very sweet, and the atmosphere was very familial. Overall great place, I'd love to come back!

Food is decent and recently their yuka fritas have not been overfried. Avoid the nights with a DJ - way too loud and not great. Occasionally, on some nights they have talented musicians and singers and then it is awesome but it is an exception rather than the rule.

I love supporting small businesses, so I thought I'd give this one a try for lunch. The poor guy…read moreworking the front of the house was nice however he was the only person waiting about 7-8 tables and doing cashier for to-go orders. I ordered a cheese quesadilla with sour cream, rice and beans. Unfortunately, the order took 40 minutes to make, the quesadilla was small, they forgot the sour cream, the rice was just plain white rice and the beans were okay but nothing to write home to mom about. Sorry, but the whole experience was super disappointing and not worth the time nor the $15 that it cost!!
