This family restaurant has always hit close to home (vzlan immigrant 2010), as one of the first Venezuelan Restaurants in Duluth (if not the first!). It was honestly heartbreaking driving my the OLD location (2870 PIB) for almost a year hoping they'd return... and they're back!!! Mi gente Venezolana--- EPA is back with Stephanie Viloria as the Head Chef after receiving professional status & training in Spain. Bringing the new 'Haute Cuisine' add-on to its original name. 100 Sanitation score! Smaller than original location but the rebranding and nee curated space reflects elevated quality of food, service, and overall ambiance. Clean + equipped restrooms (for women). Excited to see how the music area is utilized during events! I apologize I did not take photos of actual food as we ate as soon as we were served, but I have attached some photos of the new menu, space, & the family behind the magic. All photos taken by me except for screenshots of their Instagram page!

We typically go by it for the dollar taco special but after we had it, we admitted we'd been sleeping on this spot. Because it's the food court there is plenty of seating. Ordering is at the counter and they'll give you a device to buzz when it is ready. First off, their empanadas - they are arguably the best white empanadas we've had. The outside is crispy and the inside is white and fluffy. It's also well stuffed and comes with a delicious crema. Next, the item in the store name - the zuarepa. You're given probably half a pound of high quality skirt steak. There's that green cream, cotija, and it's amazing. This is the first time I felt like the monry I paid matched the worth of the arepa. You will need a fork to eat this and the small sidd of shoestring fries also help soak up the sauce. We will definitely be back and be trying other items. Apologies to the store for sleeping on it before.

My fiancé is originally from Venezuela, and ever since he moved to Atlanta from Miami, we have been…read moreon the hunt for the best tequeños in or around Atlanta. Most places around just offer the mini sized ones, so when I came across Los Maracuchos online and saw the more standard sized ones, we set out for an adventure. Driving up, we were a bit confused. We didn't realize at first, but it's actually located inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel. We parked and stepped inside, and walked up to the hostess/waitress at the restaurant. She seated us and showed us where the QR code on the table was to view the menu. We already had an idea as to what we wanted, so we placed the order as soon as she came to check on us. She was very helpful, kind, and so lovely! To drink, I enjoyed a papelón con limón. It was very refreshing, especially on this hot summer day. To eat (because we knew we would want to take things home as well), we ordered 4 orders of tequeños (4 come in 1 order), 3 cheese empanadas, and 1 cheese cachapa. Everything was absolutely delicious! The tequeños were cheesy and exceeded our expectations! Of course the garlic sauce that came with it was divine. The empanadas were probably the crunchiest we've ever had--so great and flavorful! The cachapa was perfectly balanced with savory cheese, sweet corn cake, and tangy nata sauce. So, did we find the best tequeño in the area? YES!!! We will definitely be returning to try more things! Thank you for serving us!

Los Maracuchos is an unassuming yet unique restaurant located inside of a Wyndham Hotel…read more(essentially connected to the lobby). It is a very casual dining experience. Let me begin by the service - fantastic. Unsure of her name, but she was the only individual working there. When we arrived, the place was empty. The experience felt very personal, she would approach our table, give us suggestions on her favorites (which were spot on) and was just a joy to be around. As for food, we ordered 2 Mandocas (fried plantains w/brown sugar + cheese). Delicious! I ordered a veggie quesadilla which had french fries as an accompaniment. The quesadilla had unique additions you wouldn't normally find in other establishments such as zucchini, squash, corn, carrots, etc. It was delightful and much more filling than looks suggest. My girlfriend ordered the Arepitas - Two white corn patty stuffed with shredded chicken or pork, lettuce, 4 cheese, ketchup and home mayo. She enjoyed it and also said it was pretty filling. For drinks, I ordered venezuelan soda (Frescolita) which is essentially cream soda + bubblegum. Weird, I know but it's fantastic. My girlfriend ordered passionfruit juice which was very refreshing. Our total (pre-tip) ended up being around 33 dollars which is great. We recommend trying this place out in favour of other nearby Venezuelan restaurants in order to have a unique experience and great service.

I've been hearing about this Venezuelan restaurant called Pepitazo for a while. They specialize in…read morePepitos which are Venezuelan street food. My wife, Maria B, who is a Yelp Elite, and I decided to go and try it. We started with an order of Tequenos as appetizer which were pretty big. The Tequenos alone were pretty filling however I needed to try a bite of the famous pepitos of Pepitazo. I ordered the four cheese pepito as someone who loves cheese and I simply couldn't resist the urge to try it. Along with the Pepito came crispy fries and they also had a variety of Venezuelan sauces such as Bacon, Garlic, Blue Cheese and Cheese. I have to say the bacon one was my favorite but the other sauces were pretty good too. The portions of the pepitos were gigantic and very filling as well as delicious. I will be going back to try the other pepitos! I recommend stopping by Pepitazo for a taste of Venezuela.

We…read morewere greeted very warmly and the lady at the register was so welcoming to my son, that's always heartwarming. We ordered two arepas (reina pepiada, carne) and two empanadas (cheese and chicken) and were given a buzzer to come back when they were done. The food was so delicious! I am still thinking about the arepa, the outside of the corn cake was so crispy and the inside was moist. The best part was the salsa de ajo, a white garlic sauce that the owner was nice enough to give me extra containers of. I also ordered Chicha, which the owner explained is a Venezuelan drink similar to horchata--it is definitely more the consistency of a milkshake and I was not expecting that, so keep this in mind if ordering for the first time! The location is in a mall food court, so there is a play area next to the food stall and lots of arcade games, plenty of things for kids of any age range. Pricing was great as well. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I am certain that we will be back, even if just for take-out.

I was looking for a jibarito nearby, but couldn't find anything. This place came up and I decided…read moreto check it out. I ordered a lot of different items from the menu, as I wasn't really sure which I would like. The portions are huge and very generous! The food is sooo good. I am literally supposed to be on the way to the airport to go back home to Chicago, but here I am waiting for a 2nd order here! My favorite is the arepas with shredded beef, cheese, black beans and sweet plantains. (Though all the things I tried were super good.) The restaurant is in the back of the mall at the food court. Try this place. Also the white cream sauce, is like a garlic sauce or something, it's super fire!!! Get an extra one of those if possible. The workers are also very nice and friendly. Everything served hot and fresh, you can't go wrong! I'm a picky, finicky eater...Please believe me. All my family and friends tell me I need to be a professional food critic. This food is worth it.

Quesitos is one of my favorite Venezuelan spots in Atlanta. The food is really good, especially the…read morebeef soup -- I love that they have it every single day. Most Venezuelan restaurants only serve it on Sundays, but here you can come anytime and they'll have it ready. That alone makes it worth coming back. The portions overall are generous and filling, but the empanadas are on the smaller side for the price. They do have a ton of different fillings though -- grilled beef, pabellón, chicken, cheese, ham and cheese, and more. My favorite is definitely the grilled beef one. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's a bit pricey. Two people can easily spend around $60. It's located inside a gas station, which actually makes it kind of cool -- they also sell a bunch of Venezuelan snacks and groceries there, though most of them are overpriced too. Still, it's super convenient since it's close to my house. Right next to Quesitos there's a small bakery that sells Venezuelan desserts like tres leches and brazo gitano, so you can really get all your cravings in one stop. The service today was amazing. A Mexican guy helped us and his attention was 10/10 -- super polite, friendly, and fast. That honestly stood out to me because sometimes service at Venezuelan restaurants can be hit or miss, but he did a great job. Just to clarify, I'm talking specifically about the Quesitos Express location on 3270 Steve Reynolds Boulevard in Duluth, Georgia. I couldn't find it here on Yelp, so I'm leaving my review under this one since it's the same company. Everything I mentioned (and the photo I'm adding) is from that location. Overall, Quesitos is a great spot for Venezuelan comfort food if you don't mind paying a little extra.

The beef empanada was great could use a little more seasoning but the green mayo sauce was wonderful with it . Sadly the Pizza Pastelito wasn't too good it had a very off flavor to it it was almost inedible .
