He tried his best to answer all my questions and provide recommendations. I'm not quite familiar with those food names so I asked a ton! He's super nice and super patient, definitely worth a mention! I ordered beef patacon. Maybe because I'm not a pro when judging Latino food, the food is not as good as I expected. It's basically shredded beef sandwich with fried plantains "bun". The fried plantain is very dry and taste like two giant pieces of chips. (I mean I would prefer to keep a bit moisture inside but that might not be authentic Venezuela way). Shredded beef taste alright and nothing special. BTW, their empanadas look a bit different from those I had before. Maybe if I got chance to come again I'll try fried pork or beef empanadas.

It's a small Venezuelan restaurant tucked into a modest shopping strip next to a liquor store, with limited indoor seating--maybe 20 seats total. We went on a Saturday around 5 p.m. and found plenty of parking. Ordering is counter-style with menus in both English and Spanish. While our friend speaks Spanish, some menu items were still unfamiliar, but the staff went above and beyond--bringing someone over from next door to help explain everything in English. That kind of service stood out. The food leans heavily toward fried comfort fare: empanadas, hot dogs, burgers, and loaded plates. We tried both chicken and beef empanadas, fried cheese sticks (not breaded like mozzarella sticks but still very good), and a plate with beef, ham, cheese, eggs, and potatoes. The flavors were bold and satisfying, though the potatoes were a bit overcooked. My friend's sandwich was piled high with meat and coleslaw--messy but delicious. The drink selection includes a variety of canned and bottled sodas. Overall, it's a flavorful, casual spot with friendly, helpful service and hearty food that's great for sharing with friends.

Since it was their second day open, there were a few items that weren't available. We decided to go with the Salteña, Fish, Chorizo, Artichoke and Dessert Empanadas. Most were fried but a few were baked as well. The outside of the fried empanadas were crispy while the insides were stuffed to the brim with yummy goodness. I would suggest, that if you order the fried ones to eat as soon as possible, since they might get soggy if sat for too long. The baked empanadas were great as well - once again overflowing with stuffings! They definitely did not skimp. All in all, I'm so delighted this restaurant has joined the Cypress community. It'll definitely become a regular for our family!

If you like Argentinian food, then you must visit this little and humble place…read more They have great empanadas (among many other Argentinian things), and the owner who is also in charge of the store is the most sweet lady. A real pleasure coming here. The atmosphere is very welcoming. They have Argentinian cuts of beef, cheeses, sausages, chimichurri, candies, mate, and of course, empanadas. It is very nice to find all these things in just one physical place without having to buy online. My only recommendation for them would be to try to include Argentinian wines and maybe some grilling tools like Argentinian knives and provoleteras. But other than that and even without those things, they are a great place to shop at.

It fills the space in the best way possible and immediately pulls you in for the full experience. One thing that really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which, unfortunately, hasn't always been my experience at other Colombian restaurants. Many places I've visited primarily speak Spanish, which can sometimes make ordering a challenge. Here, I felt completely at ease and well taken care of. We started with the beef empanadas, and I highly recommend them. The crust was perfectly crispy, while the filling was soft, flavorful, and comforting. Paired with their salsa, which had just the right kick of spice, it was an excellent combination that made for a strong start to the meal. I ordered my go-to favorite, the Bandejita. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing, but sadly, the bold flavors I'm used to just weren't quite there for me. The flat steak tasted under-seasoned, and I actually found myself adding salt, which I've never had to do before at other restaurants. The pork sausage also seemed a bit dry inside, but my husband said that's how it should be, so perhaps that was just my preference. The beans had a different flavor than what I'm accustomed to as well, not bad by any means, just noticeably different. On a positive note, the pork belly was perfectly crispy, exactly how it should be, and the plantains were sweet and cooked to perfection. Overall, the menu looks incredibly tempting, and there are still plenty of dishes I'd love to come back and try. While I may skip the Bandejita next time, I definitely plan on returning to explore more of what they have to offer.

While it has moved from its previous Top 50 ranking, the food remains a great experience. The brisket was deliciously smoked, though I found the bark to be a little too salty for my taste. Despite that, the meat itself was fantastic. The ribs were hearty and very tender, and the pork belly had a nice flavor, but was a little on the dry side. The pork belly burnt ends were a unique treat. They were covered in a spicy barbecue sauce, which was a pleasant surprise since I usually prefer a fruity base like peach or apricot. The absolute standout was the sausage. It was a perfectly cooked, double-grind sausage with a delicious chili relleno taste. It was cheesy and had an excellent flavor that made it one of my favorite sausage offerings to date. For the sides, the carrot soufflé was a highlight. It was delicious with a smooth texture and only a hint of carrot, making it an excellent and unique side. To top it all off, there's a chocolate shoppe attached to the restaurant, so a chocolate dessert is an absolute must after your meal. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant for a truly enjoyable barbecue experience.

Went back about two weeks ago on a whim and I've already been back twice since. The BBQ is legitimately exceptional now. The burnt ends are amazing--tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The cheesesteak is awesome, the turkey is surprisingly moist and tasty, and the overall quality is way higher than I remembered. A couple small notes: the poblano sausage was a bit too cheesy for my taste, and the mac and cheese has crushed tortilla chips on top that feel unnecessary (though the base is still solid). Must-orders: Get the chicharrones and queso and ask for a side of Tajín to sprinkle on top--it takes it to another level. The jalapeños at the condiment station are pure fire and delicious. They also have a full bar, so chilling with a cold beer and some top-notch BBQ is the move. The chocolate truffles at the counter are fantastic--you really can't go wrong with any of them. They also have specials if you order four or more items, which is a nice touch. Plenty of seating inside or outside, and there's ample parking right across the street. If you haven't been in a while (or ever), do yourself a favor and give them another shot. I'm glad I did. Solid 4 stars.
