    This was my first experience with Venezuelan food and it was delicious. The service was excellent- explanation of food & fast delivery.

    I was disappointed the food is not how it used to be, when the place was Viva las Arepas. We got there Saturday morning a little bit after they opened, we ordering they told us they didn't have some of the items we wanted to order from the menu. The food was bland, and I did not get what I ordered, ordered a chicken arepa and got beef, got extra for avocado and didn't get it, the cachapa was bread was not fully cooked when we got it.

    Arepa!

    I don't know if there has been a name change but Dandino's was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the…read moresigns said Sabor Panp Anccs Tipico. I had read the reviews for Dandino's and I wanted to try their South American food. I ordered two items--a mechada arepa and a mechada empanada. Mechada is Venezuelan shredded beef. The arepa is made with corn flour in rounds and filled with whatever filling you choose. The empanada was not sealed, but was partly open. Arepas are a common food in Venezuela and Columbia. There was a bit of a language problem but we got past that. I took a seat and enjoyed the singing by an older man who played the keyboard and sang to entertain in the food court. When I ordered, I was told it would take 7 minutes and that was right on. The woman I ordered with arrived at my table with my arepa and empanada in that time. She then brought my Coke. First off, the food was blisteringly hot. I had to wait a bit to be able to enjoy. That showed me the freshness of the making of the items. The mechada was excellent. It was juicy and the sauce with the shredded beef had a super flavor. I'll be back but I'll mix my order and get a cheese empanada and a different arepa. It's worht the stop here. It is close to UNLV and I'm there often so there's not much of a drive. Note: This is a cash only place. No credit cards or contactless payments.

    We ordered lunch from via Door Dash and we were not disappointed! Simple order, 3 arepas with…read morecheese. These are huge! 1 was enough to feed my student aides to fill, and I cannot finish mine. The sauce is delicious and I think I want to buy it by the gallon (don't tell me what's in it because if it's bad for me I don't even care!) Everything tasted fresh, but our cheese was a bit congealed by the time it got to us. We will definitely be ordering from them again to try different items!

    Solid value for some of the best Venezuelan food around town. The fact that it's on wheels just…read moremakes the hunt a little more thrilling. Mr. Cooker is a Las Vegas food truck that's been around for a little over a year now. I'm surprised at how few their review count is, despite their appearances at such events as the Great American Foodie Fest, Sunset Park'd, and a Yelp Elite Event. The former two are sometimes derided for overpriced and lackluster food, which is true for some places. However, they impressed people including yours truly at the latter, which is why I was so glad to find them in the wild today. Well, "the wild" in this case is the inaugural running of a weekly food truck gathering at the Total Wine & More on Las Vegas Blvd (near Fry's / Town Square), and it's more like a ring of about ten trucks/trailers/vans showed up and these guys were in the thick of it. I knew that they'd be among the best, so I couldn't pass them up as I regrettably did at other food truck events. The man running front of house (or outside of truck, in this case) gave me a brief tour of some of their menu. I went for his favorite after finding out that I could get two different meat choices. My order of patacones ($8 for two) came out within perhaps 5 minutes still plenty hot, but I eagerly dug in to these creations of meat, cheese, and sauces sandwiched between fried, crispy plantains. That crispness stands out first and foremost. It's not a hard crunch, and it yields something substantial in your mouth that texturally reminded me of some chicken skins that I'd recently had. Speaking of which, the meats are no slouch. The pork was great, but the shredded beef was surprisingly juicy and rich in flavor. And the slew of sauces was complementary and not overwhelming, although some areas were less sauced. Fortunately, I soon noticed that they had squeeze bottles including one that contained more of that ubiquitous green cilantro sauce. Ask for them. They're important. I'm definitely going to revisit Mr. Cooker soon. I definitely need to try their arepas, empanadas, pepitos, and perhaps one day a traditional certain comestible, if they ever source the right corn and cheese to craft the recipe to their liking. I'll be waiting.

    The food truck photos looked good, but the items we ordered were mehhhhhh. The best part was their…read morecilantro sauce they had on the side. I think the empanadas were just not that great, and their cheese filled pastry dough thing wasn't special either. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

    Arepas ($7) can be customized to your liking. I went with pork and cheese. Don't forget the sauces (not shown).
