Arrived for a late lunch, you place your order at the counter and have a seat for it to be delivered. The cashier was very helpful, gave me a couple of recommendations, and I went with Cabimera Picahna. On a bed of deep-fried arepa (a ground maize dough that is deep fried), shredded ham and cheese, boiled egg, cabbage, parmesan cheese, and a few different sauces. This dish is full of flavor, loved the Picahna, and overall absolutely delicious. Initially I thought the arepa was some kind of fried potato...similar flavor and texture but the lady explained how they are made. I could actually eat these as an appetizer with a dipping sauce. Overall...this dish is a repeat with a different protein. I also saw their Picahna burger...definitely something I want to try.

When I went, the kiosk ordering system indicated they were out of beef and cheese empanadas. I asked the man working whether that was the case, and he said yes but that he'd put cheese on the side of my beef empanada! The empanada was fresh and crispy. It had a perfectly crispy crust, and I LOVED the corn dough used for the empanadas. They're so much more flavorful than flour based empanadas in my opinion. I will absolutely be back to this food truck to try more wonderful food!

The empanada is INCREDIBLE. Flakey, deep fried goodness with a side of cilantro sauce on the side. (I kicked myself for only getting 1 when I drove away) When I tell you I crave this arepa, I am not lying! Flavorful shredded chicken, black beans, and plantains inside a warm cornmeal pocket. This is also a MUST! Both of those for $20 and a full happy tummy!

There was a Mexican option an a Venezuelan option. I obviously chose the second one. I ordered an arepa and an empanada. The arepa is basically a deep fried sandwich with a meat and cheese on it. It was pretty good. Definitely not healthy by any means. I had it stuffed with shredded beef. The empanada I had with cheese and black beans. It was pretty good as well. The food was pretty good overall. The wait time was probably about 12 minutes. They do have a covered patio with blaring Latino music. A bit much for me to eat there.

We had piña juice (pineapple) and the Papelon, well let me tell you, I have never liked papelon growing up but I tried some of it and I was impressed. I really like the hint of lime it has. Very refreshing. I can't have enough of this place, I'm so glad I can find Venezuelan food at a decent price and that it's actually DELICIOUS. They are located on exit 60 of I-24 (Old Hickory Blvd I believe) on the Shell gas station. Parking can be a little tricky on the busy hours as they also have a Mexican restaurant next door but it's definitely worth it. The lady was very nice and attentive. There were a few orders before ours but the food was made fairly fast and it was fresh. They accept cash and credit/debit card payments. I will definitely be coming back here more often to give my soul a taste of the OG home. Come check them out!

I passed by this spot just walking around, enjoying the nice weather. I love me some Venezuelan food so I figured might as well support smaller businesses. This was before I saw it had a 4.9! The host was super friendly and energetic. I got two empanadas, yuca fries, and mango juice for $20, which is really good considering the surrounding area. It was super hot and fresh! One thing to address with the empanadas is the chicken one was pretty empty. I actually overheard another table ask the waiter about it.

The food is always fresh, tasty and authentic. Maybe my only complaint would be that they don't always have my favorite desserts. Lol Everything I've tried is good.

If it isn't, the food absorbs grease and becomes disgusting. Clearly, these knuckleheads don't know what they're doing in the kitchen. When we tried to return them, the team leader told us, "That's how they eat them in Venezuela," which was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. He had a bad attitude toward both my wife and me. This happened on 01/15/2026. Instead of being polite and trying to fix the problem, he was rude and dismissive. Be proud of your food and your service -- don't serve something like that. Very disappointing experience.
