Seeing how highly rated this place was, we stopped by the moment we were in the area, and it did…read morenot disappoint! While my review itself is a bit late, I do think about this place often because of how good the food was. I haven't had pepitos before, but this made an amazing introduction for me! From the outside, it looked like the rest of the plaza and didn't stand out much. Stepping in, it was surprisingly pretty cool and a bit modern with the lighting and walls. It was clean too. I would recommend getting a pepitos over the burger, though both are great. It's just easier to put away the rest for later because of how filling eating just half is. The fries were crispy and good for trying out all the sauces. And the sauces? Love the variety. The bacon sauce truly tastes like bacon and has bits of it in it. Corn is probably made with sweet corn, and it was creamy. Love the garlic. The honey mustard was good too. Cheese confuses me. It wasn't a cheese flavor I am more familiar with, and it wasn't like the cheese used in the meal. I didn't dislike it, but I also did mix sauces together, and I liked it better once mixed with something else. Garlic still is just great overall though. We ended with churros, which were pretty good. They drizzle lots of chocolate, caramel, and condensed milk over them, and while I felt guilty after eating so much food, I loved every moment. They give quite a bit, and we couldn't finish them all. Great dessert for sharing, and another draw to this place if you don't want a full meal, though I highly recommend getting food as well.

I ended up getting a Steak Arepa. The arepa was pretty massive and flavorful. However, I think I…read moreprefer cachepas so I will likely not order an arepa again. The arepa was a bit hard, but very overstuffed with steak, cheese and avacado. It was very much worth it for the cost. Service is counter order, they'll bring out your order to the table, but nothing more. It didn't take too long to get my order and was reasonable. They provide you with a carrier that has several sauces, so if you're a saucy person, there are a lot of options.

We stopped in here to put something fried in our tummies before a night at the bar. The restaurant…read moreis teeny tiny, and there are two little tables out front that are supposed to be patio seating. We opted for said patio seating, as the haze of hella fried food was too strong in the restaurant. When we walked in my husband (who's in food service management) immediately remarked on how they need to install or replace their grease trap/filter. There was a slight greasy film over everything, especially on the windows. Fingerprints/smudges everywhere. There was very little cleaning done. The general vibe of the restaurant is confusing. We weren't sure whether they gave table service or not as we saw others receiving it, but hubz had to go in and grab our food. I also want to note that it took 5ever for them to produce the little appetizer we got, which was a simple arepa sampler platter. And the quality just wasn't there to me. It was okay, but it wasn't anything that wowed me and I wanted to be wowed based on the reviews. The fillings themselves felt like plain ole' bagged mozzarella and unflavored Publix deli meat. We would have ordered more had this experience gone differently.

I ordered a takeout dinner. The restaurant is one of several in the building on Buford Highway and…read morethe parking lot was nearly full. It was early so the dining room had only two or three occupied tables and no one at the bar in the back yet. I was greeted immediately and waited a short time for my order to be ready. All the way home I could smell delicious odors from the bag! I ordered Churrasco de Entrada which is grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and two sides. The steak was amazing! Tender, juicy, melted in my mouth. I had grilled vegetables and baked potato for sides. The vegetables were a mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, pea pods, carrots, and zucchini. They were cooked well and flavored with garlic. The foil packet of potatoes contained three small round potatoes also perfectly cooked through not seasoned at all. The meal came with three small dinner rolls and a few packets of butter. Everything was flavorful and delicious; garlic was quite strong though which I loved but might not be everyone's liking. I also ordered Alfajores from the bakery section for dessert. These are little sandwiches with soft shortbread cookies on the outside and soft dulce de leche and coconut filling between them. Four came in the box. This meal was at least two servings for me and it was a wonderful experience. I look forward to eating in the restaurant next time.

I have mix feelings about this restaurant, I came because I wanted to eat some Argentinian steak…read morein a grill. The location is in a small plaza with hard time to park because of the amount of businesses around. The restaurant is big with a lot of tables and good for big groups but too dark for my taste, the windows are so dark from outside that if it wasn't for the " open" sign you would think it is close. The food is good, I liked the quality of the chorizo and the skirt steak was grilled properly. I wished the fries were "fresh-cut", I understand that frozen fries are easier but a good steak deserves good fries. Another thing that lowers the experience is that the condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise are in packets like a fast food chain. The service was standard, I had to call my server everytime I wanted a refill. ( even thought the restaurant wasn't full).

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!

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.

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 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. Sooo good. I'll be thinking about this place for a while lol

Definitely a breakfast I'll be going back for. The coffee was a standout for me. It's strong in the best way and tastes way better than the coffee you usually get at most restaurants.

I personally prefer the Guayaba Y Queso. Perfect place to grab something sweet to go with your coffee or to take home for later. Really great food, great coffee, and a spot I'll definitely be visiting again.

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.

They do have a full bar with a variety of drinks to choose from as well as Colombian beers.

Dress code is casual. They do have complimentary parking. I am definitely coming back to enjoy and try more of the exotic plates they offer. It's not often you see Colombian cuisine, worth a visit!
