Tasty food and lime/mint beverage! What i got is an empanada and note it does take a while to cook It came out hot and fresh.. the corn shell was really tasty and filled with shredded chicken. The limeade type beverage was about $5.50 but really tasty and refreshing. The ladies working here were very nice. The food truck park itsself could use a little refreshening but it's nice to sit under trees. read more

Cachitos512 - Empanada and special drink - Venezuelan Near Me - Austin, Texas

This little food truck produces big bold flavors! It was my first time trying Venezuelan food, and everything was so delicious! We ordered tequenos, reina pepiada arepa, cachapa con queso, chicken empanada, malta, and a mango passion fruit juice (of the day). The cachapa was my favorite of the bunch because the combination of the corn pancake with the meat and cheese was divine. Also a special shoutout to the maltín because I loved it so much that I'm going to get one of these malt sodas anytime I see it available. There are plenty of tables available here to sit and eat your food, or you can take it to-go. They'll call your name once the food is ready after you order. read more

Pleaseeee come try this! We came for Cantos Tacos right next to this food truck, but this one STOLE the show. If you are gluten free, this place is a MUST. The empanadas were so incredibly delicious and the corn pancake was too. Their arepas were huge too. At first, three of my friends decided to just grab something small to fill us since this food truck had some of the more affordable options - we were shocked by how delicious it was that we went for another round. I can't overemphasize how much I loved it. If you're reading this and are deciding which food truck in the vicinity to check out, please check this one out, especially if you're gluten free! read more

First time trying them and they were very tasty! The Reina pipeada was a crispy yet soft arepa filled with creamy chicken and avocado, served HOT. Empanadas were savory & the shell was crispy and slightly sweet. Could've used a bit of tartness or spiciness like a lime wedge or something but overall, very good! read more

Ordered on door dash and picked up multiple orders. Food was ready when I got there so I was in and out in a timely manner. I thought the arepa was good. I've only had arepas one other time and they tasted the same. My coworker thought it was weird. The chicken Machado while loaded with chicken was very dry. Empanadas we're probably the best menu item. The crust was crunchy had a nice corn/sweet flavor and was decently loaded with filling but everything was very dry. The cilantro sauce is needed for all items. read more

One of the best arepas we've had and the service couldn't have been better! Everything was amazing - we both had the carne mechada arepas (and asked to add plantains and cheese and the owner was very gracious about it). They were excellent! We loved that the arepas are baked and the beef was not grease and you could tell it was good quality! We also had the tequeños and I'm in awe that they were not greasy. The mango drinks were delicious and the tres leches was to die for (though I think it was a bienmesabe, which is like a tres leches with a bit of coconut. If we lived in Austin we'd come here all the time! read more

I first went to this spot to have tacos from Cuántos which was good but then we had empanadas venezolanas from Cachitos512. The one I love is not on the menu is called Pabellón. They make it on the spot so it's fresh. So many people on line for Cuántos not knowing there is something delicious behind them. The arepas are delicious too. read more

Hanoy is the nicest!!! She gave us great recs. The cachepa was awesome. Will be coming back!

You don't see a lot of arepa places in town, and I'm really glad we have this one! All the arepas were really tasty- my favorite was surprisingly the vegan one. Service is quick and because it's around other trucks you can go with a group and everyone has options. I love this food truck park, great vibes and family-friendly. read more

Such good arepas and service :) im not vegan but the vegan arepa was scrumptious. also a very cute area

I had the chance to try their tequeños over the weekend and had been thinking about them so much that I had a friend go and pick some up for us to enjoy at their house lol. The balance of cheese to flaky crust is perfection and I appreciate how every tequeños was oozing with cheese yet the pastry dough felt like it came fresh out of the oven. They're a great snack to enjoy or to pair with their menu which features arepas and plenty of other Venezuelan eats. The owners here are super nice and very passionate about bringing Venezuelan cuisine to the city. With plenty of picnic benches situated in Arbor Food Park, you can enjoy them fresh from the pickup window. read more

Excellent truck for Venezuelan food! Their Cachitos are delicious!! Very juicy and soft, service is great! I would say most authentic place in Austin for Venezuelan food. I will be back to try more items but their Cachitos are amazing!! Outdoor seating is plentiful, and the outdoor ambiance is great for families or even a simple date night. Highly recommend! read more

The empanada was among the best that I've ever had! I've never had this style - instead of dough, it had an extremely crispy shell, and a soft corn meal interior wrapping the meat. The combination of textures really hit the spot and the shredded beef was tender and full of flavor. Check this spot out! read more

These gluten-free empanadas are awesome! The crunch is perfect and the meat is seasoned just right. The woman at the front was so sweet and before I left said, "I hope you like it!" Turns out I LOVE it. These empanadas are delicious and we're everything I was looking for. read more

Holy flippin' arepa, y'all. Holy flippin' arepa! We've tried to find somewhere to go after leaving our favorite place behind in Vegas, and Cachitos is the place to go for arepas from here on out in Austin! I loved being able to eat food from here and feel safe with my gluten allergy. I had PLENTY of options for food, but we settled on the Reina Pepiada arepa and the chicken empanada. I was FLOORED. FLOORED. The empanada had a corn batter that was sweet but not heavy, and it worked perfectly with the chicken. Having a gluten allergy, it is hard to find GF empanadas, but Cachitos nailed it, and the empanada itself was HUGE! Easily enough for 2 people. The arepa? SO MUCH FILLING. Some may balk at the price, but I'm telling you, that arepa is STUFFED to the brim with deliciousness. STUFFED. The arepa was magic, y'all. MAGIC. Perfectly crisp, so delicious, sweet yet salty, and along with the filling, it was incredible. The arepa was legit big enough for 2 people as well; I couldn't finish it. Hubby happily obliged to assist with the arepa and empanada. Top it off with friendly staff, great location at the Arbor Food Truck park, and what a meal! Can't wait to go back again real soon! Worth the drive from where we live and then some! read more

Love the food and the service so much! I come at least once a week, always get the tequeños bc they're my favorite and they ALWAYS hit just right! read more

Amazing food! The arepas have a soft, tasty 'bun'/exterior and are filled with flavorful and hearty meats. Very filling and delicious and pretty cheap too! The cachitas are also delicious. A friend showed me this place yesterday--he's Venezuelan and said the food as just like his mom used to make and as good as the Venezuela food you get in Miami. Never had his mom's cooking or Venezuelan food in Miami, but I believe it! It was delicious. read more

We came in close to closing time on accident and they still delivered some incredible food, highly recommend!

Stopped by on Saturday night for a quick bite to eat and absolutely LOVED the vegan arepa. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory ingredients - the plantains matched wonderfully with the tomato and avocado! - inside the yummy, flaky dough. The food truck is located in the Arbor Food Park, so plan to eat outside and one of the many picnic tables or take the food to go. I'm looking forward to coming back so that I can try more of the menu :) read more

The food was very good and the owners of the food truck were very nice! They helped me better understand the menu and were not afraid to make recommendations! read more

Oh wow. Im mad at myself for not coming sooner! Being gluten free, it is hard to find good lunch options near my office. But Cachitos came through. I hadn't had an empanada in I dont know how many years so I was over the moon when I saw them on the menu as being made of corn flour (GF). I came up to the truck and wanted 1 chicken, but was pretty hungry so I added a beef. The guy taking my order was very friendly. I don't think I expected everything to be this good. I saw the reviews but I was truly delighted by the crispiness of the empanada and the flavors inside. The lemonade was also so refreshing with the mint. I just might have a new favorite food truck and I cant wait to come and have some arepas! read more

Though they are neighbors to the more famous Quantos Tacos, this place holds its own easily. The brisket cachpapa was new to me and just divine. Perfect crusty moist and tender brisket in a fluffy sweet corn flatbread as fluffy as a perfect French omelet. A base of salt stretchy cheese actually cut the richness and melded the beef and corn flavors together. It was easy to share and about perfect as 1/2 a meal for 2 peoples read more

We stopped by for lunch earlier today (Sunday), located in the arbor food park. It was one of only two trucks open.. (why???). Anyways, happy that this place was open! I wish venezuelan food was more prevalent in this city. We ordered and it took maybe ten minutes to be ready, not bad! The tequeños were super good, not oily at all, and deliciously cheesy. The cachapa was an interesting mic of sweet and savory that I couldn't get enough of. I forget the name of the other item we ordered (see picture!) - but also very good! My only gripe might be the cost, but honestly everything was very good and presented nicely (especially for a food truck) read more

Came here at 3:30 pm on a Wednesday. The woman working was so nice and kind! She was very smiley and waved to us goodbye. We got chicken empanadas, the ham and cheese cachito, and the carne merchada empanada. Everything came out piping out and very juicy! The flavor was a little mild for me but the green sauce made it more pungent. It was honestly a LOT of meat if you're into that. My favorite was definitely the empanada, super duper crispy on the outside and good meat to dough ratio. Would probably just get the empanadas going forward but want to try the vegetarian arepa, it comes with plantains! read more

The brisket and chicken empanadas are absolutely phenomenal. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're seriously missing out. They're not just serving food--they're sharing a piece of Venezuelan culture with Austin, and doing it with flavor and heart. La pechuga y las empanadas de pollo son absolutamente fenomenales.

Boo literally just came for the first time to be told they don't have cachitos in a place called Cachitos 512. I live in Houston and just wanted some cachitos while here in Austin. It's a food truck in a sandy lot. Business owner replied rudely in Spanish saying "Venezuelans like me are the reason our country is the way it is". Defeats the point of having a platform for reviews if I'll just give you a good one because we are from the same place. I'm sure you're hard working people but maybe make it a point to have the item that is your namesake. Nothing I said was a lie or even a stretch. I could turn that comment around and say the same about you, sir. Instead, I choose the high road. Be professional y'all. read more

Highly recommended! We are addicted to Cachitos512's DELICIOUS cheese empanadas. They are seriously mouth-watering -- with a beautiful, perfectly golden brown, crisp & crunchy crust surrounding a generous filling of tasty, melty cheese. So. Freaking. Good! Also, don't miss out on their fresh juice of the day. Passion fruit and mango are our two faves. Definitely our favorite spot in the Arbor Food Park! read more

I only tried their limonada this time, but I will make the effort to come by and try their food! This drink was so refreshing, it tasted like candy to me. I'm addicted!! read more

Was looking for something tasty for lunch and boy howdy did I find it. Everything was fresh and piping hot and the person taking my order was friendly and offered great suggestions. The arepa was perfectly crispy and STUFFED full of succulent, flavorful meat. The pastelitos... my goodness. The cheese pastelito blew my taste buds away. I'll be dreaming of its soft, creamy, slightly sweet and cheesy flavor for sure. Washed it down with the soursop juice *CHEFS KISS*. Location was good, plenty of parking and outdoor seating. read more
