We went after four years, we found out they changed owners. I'm from Venezuela and love to cook. We…read moredecided to go and have breakfast out so we came here. We tried: empanadas, arepas and the cachapa, since the owner mentioned they are really good and I'm very picky about Cachapas since I consider mine are the best. Well, the service was pleasant, the owner's daughter did the majority of the job and then the grandmother arrived to start cooking. I didn't like the food, probably because I cook a lot, but they fried our arepas, HUGE mistake, my husband ordered with pernil and he didn't like the flavor, mine The Reina pepiada, tooo much mayonnaise, no flavor in the chicken and the mixture was made just right away so it was not well prepared. The empanadas where ok and of course I didn't like the cachapas at all. No taste of sweet corn. I wish the best since it is a family business but honestly it needs better recipes and not excuses to prepared them accordingly.

After having come across their Instagram account some time ago, we've talked about eating at this…read moresemi-permanent food truck often, but just haven't been able to get there. After months of drooling over their posts, we finally made it happen and it did not disappoint. I (JH) have never had Venezuelan food before so I wasn't sure what to get. After the kind gentleman explained the menu items to us, I ended up with a Cachapa with ham. In full disclosure I don't know what a cachapa is "supposed" to taste like so I have no baseline to compare it to, but as far as flavor goes, this was fantastic. The outside reminded me of a thinner, slightly crispier arepa. The sweet corn wasn't too sweet and the butter gave it a great sweet/salty combo. The inside is filled with what's called De Mano cheese...think of it like a mozzarella type cheese. And boy did they fill it! In addition to the cheese I added ham, but I could have gone with smoked pork, steak, more cheese, sausage, etc. AND I could have gotten as many meats as I wanted to, they're just all an up charge...obviously. I (JD) had the UBF Burger and it was fantastic. This monster comes with Lettuce, Tomato, Cheese, Bacon , Egg, Cabbage, Potato Chips, Ketchup, Mayo, Mustard, Pink Sauce, Green Sauce, and a side of delicious fries. When a sandwich has things like "pink sauce" and "green sauce" listed, count me in! The burger was massive. I got the double beef, but you can customize from a single to a quad, as well as pick one of their other meat options (see JH's review for list). The "potato chips" are the delicious little potato sticks and they were a nice addition to the sandwich. Their French fries were amazing. I don't know if they put a really lite breading on them, but they had a delightful little crispness to them. Not listed on the menu is a house made drink described to us as kind of a sweet tea/lemonade, but they use real tea leaves, cane sugar and other ingredients that weren't listed, but tasted differently wonderful. They have 6 covered and lit picnic tables which was good, but being that the truck is located on Bayshore road across from the North Fort Myers Wal-Mart, you do hear quite a bit of traffic, though that didn't seem to interrupt our conversations at all so it's not too intrusive. It wasn't what we would consider cheap as our orders totaled about $24 each, but it's a food truck and we expect to pay a little more. At UBF, we're happy to do so and support them making delicious food. Make sure you check their hours before you go though, they aren't open everyday. But we definitely recommend you go!

Q Papaya sells all the staples-- arepas, cachapas, empanadas, etc. But it tends to be the greasy, fried version of these. We've eaten here twice, and both times have been underwhelmed by the quality of the food. The prices are kind of high for such average food. Empanadas are fairly cheap, around $3.50 each, but you're not really getting much. Arepas and cachapas fetch higher prices, over ten dollars, but are simply not worth that much. There is no real ambiance. This is just a counter in the mall. I have been to nice Venezuelan restaurants with better prices, and better food. This is the touristy, mall version of a Venezuelan restaurant.

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.
