I love this sauce so much the green sauce
Ordered from their food truck and was not disappointed! I had a cheese pastels and cheese empanada; both were delicious. The empanada is slightly bigger and costs 1 more. It comes with some kind of dill (??) cream. Overall very delicious and filling! Would come again and try their meat filled options!
GREAT VENEZUELAN FOOD! Everything was delicious and fresh the empanadas, TEQUEÑOS and quesillo was my favorite! I will come back
Best empanadas and pasteles I ever had! If I lived here, I’d drive across town to get these. Empanadas are corn based and pasteles are wheat. Got empanadas and pasteles in both chicken and ground beef. Chicken was better than the beef but both were delicious.
Great memories from my beautiful town of Mérida. The pastelitos are filled and delicious!!!
You can hear the llanero music playing as you pull up. It's a nice little food cart with a picnic area. Great variety and good prices -- be sure to get there early because they sometimes sell.
A most if you have not. So good. Cheese, beef, chicken empanadas. All with their own distinctive flavors. The pastelito de queso omg, that cheese. And the pastelito con todo. Hands down the most flavor behind its size. Not that it’s small. Just flavorful. Passion fruit juice on point. As a Venezuelan, I can say this place takes you home. Ty Alfredo.
Reminds me of some of my favorite food trucks in Austin, TX! I have recently become obsessed with tequenos and have been bopping around Charlotte trying different places. This place is insanely good. The tequenos are cheesy and full of cheese juice, the hot sauce is flavorful and delicious, and the garlic sauce is incredible. Will be back!
