I've been to this place a couple of times now because I wanted to give it more than one opportunity…read morebefore writing my review. On my first visit, I tried the Venezuelan hot dog without the quail eggs. The bun was nicely toasted, and the hot dog was packed not only with ingredients but also with great flavor. It was definitely a great hot dog, and I highly recommend trying it. The quail eggs weren't something I personally wanted on mine, but others may enjoy that option. I also tried the mini arepas, which came with beans, chicken salad, and pork. I was actually surprised that the bean arepa ended up being my favorite. It was packed with so much flavor. The chicken salad was okay, but I felt like it could have used a little more seasoning. The pork was really good and seasoned to perfection. I also had their cachapas, which came with fried cheese, steak, and a sweet corn pancake. The steak could have used a little more seasoning, but the sweet corn pancake was amazing. I would highly recommend the food, and their drinks are very good as well. It is a small restaurant, so there is not a ton of space, but it has a great vibe inside. Now, as far as the service, my first visit was amazing. The second time, however, the service was not good. We sat on the patio, and the waitress was very short with us and came across as rude. Overall, I would still recommend checking this place out for the food and drinks, but I do hope the service becomes more consistent because the food is definitely worth trying. He visitado este lugar un par de veces porque quería darle más de una oportunidad antes de escribir mi reseña. En mi primera visita, probé el hot dog venezolano sin los huevos de codorniz. El pan estaba bien tostado, y el hot dog estaba cargado no solo de ingredientes, sino también de mucho sabor. Definitivamente fue un muy buen hot dog, y lo recomiendo mucho. Los huevos de codorniz no eran algo que personalmente quisiera en el mío, pero a otras personas les puede gustar esa opción. También probé las mini arepas, que venían con frijoles, ensalada de pollo y cerdo. Me sorprendió que la arepa de frijoles terminó siendo mi favorita. Tenía muchísimo sabor. La de ensalada de pollo estuvo bien, pero sentí que le faltaba un poco más de sazón. La de cerdo estaba muy buena y perfectamente sazonada. También probé sus cachapas, que venían con queso frito, carne y una panqueca dulce de maíz. La carne pudo haber tenido un poco más de sazón, pero la panqueca dulce de maíz estaba increíble. Recomiendo mucho la comida, y sus bebidas también son muy buenas. Es un restaurante pequeño, así que no hay muchísimo espacio, pero tiene un gran ambiente por dentro. En cuanto al servicio, mi primera visita fue excelente. Sin embargo, la segunda vez el servicio no fue bueno. Nos sentamos en el patio, y la mesera fue muy cortante con nosotros y se sintió un poco grosera. En general, todavía recomiendo visitar este lugar por la comida y las bebidas, pero espero que el servicio sea más consistente, porque la comida definitivamente vale la pena probarla.

Cute lit up signs everywhere give it a cool vibe and the food was so so good. The staff were so nice, constantly giving us delicious sauces to enjoy and the food was amazing! The plantains were sweet and crisp and the arepas were HUGE, completely stuffed to the brim! If we are in the area again we will definitely check it out

Yes, they're sliders but chicken inside on house made mini arepas-- well, yes Arepas Sliders, but believe me they good. Even more, the avocados slices gives you a little different yet healthy feeling. I did caught them at Sycamore on Monday night but got Yuca Fries only as I had dinner plans, you can't still go wrong with them. The only downside of this food truck is that, they don't really have a smaller portion menu or smaller amount menu but the current menu is right on money. I would eat 'em over and over again. Looking forward to more of the Chamo!!!!

There was just one minor complaint I have, and that is $2.50 for a can of soda. I found to be a slight bit too inflated in price. They have amazing customer service and answered all my questions about the food. Now, onto the food, CACHAPA, it was delicious, and I really enjoyed that it is something I can have for breakfast. It has cheese and is made with corn kernels that are pureed, kind of like pancakes. The big sandwich is the PEPITO, it was so good. We opted for the 12 inch option that was mixed with chicken and beef. It was enormous, and the flavors just dance in your mouth. It's a must eat. It has a lot in it, lol. I ordered pastelitos de pizza, and they were pretty good. Jose and Estafania are awesome. The customer service is top-notch. Give them a try very worth it. They have outside seating with tables and it's in enclosed seating area which is good.

I loved Viva Chicken in Ballantyne...but for some reason, I haven't been back in years…read more This time, I tried this Elizabeth location with my husband...and I have to be frank. This location paled in comparison to that at the much larger and nicer Ballantyne location. Of course that was like 6 years ago? First of all, aesthetically, this place just felt a bit off. The walk-up to the counter was very narrow...and the layout felt a bit too narrow and tight. Also, the menu selection seemed much smaller than I remembered it. At the Ballantyne location, I also remember that they had this Sangria drink...but not here. They did have 2 juice flavors...but nothing too exciting. In any case, I had the same item that I enjoyed before...the Peruvian Fried Rice. Again, it looked and tasted a bit weaker than I had remembered it. I did enjoy the 2 sauces that greatly helped the bland flavor of the rice. Also tried their Mini Churros...which were quite good. My husband enjoyed the Rotisserie chicken, and his 2 sides...but he felt the same as me, in that the layout felt tight and awkward. Overall, we thought the foods were good enough to return. We just didn't find the place very comfy.

You may add as much as you like. Tasty and very filling for under $12! The verde salsa is great for those who like mild. The mango habanero was good too with a little sweetness balanced with a kick of spicy. I'll be back soon!
