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.

Pardon my French, but... Holy sh*t!…read more I was craving Venezuelan food... and a burger... so I decided to combine the cravings. Normally, when I get Venezuelan food, I'm too drawn to the arepas, empanadas, and cachapas to get something like a burger. I've seen several Venezuelan restaurants with burger options I've wanted to try, but like I said, normally, I go traditional. However, today was the day I decided to finally do it! I opened up UberEats and... what is that? A Teque Burger? Could it be??? Yes! The "bun" is tequeños! Immediately, I knew I had to order one of these. I went with no bacon today and chose cheese sauce as well as house sauce. The description didn't say whether or not it came with fries, so when I saw the temptingly priced $2.99 french fry option, I threw them in my cart. I can't speak on ambiance because I ordered UberEats, but service was quick to pack up my order. My food arrived hot and fresh, just minutes after I made it home from the gym! Perfect. The verdict? As you can tell by the excitement of my review: a huge success! The Teque Burger was grilled to perfection. The tequeno bun was mind blowing. The whole thing was absolutely delicious. I cut my burger in half to save the other half for later. As I ate my burger and devoured the meat, there was still tequeño bun overhang for me to dip into the sauces. They gave me ample garlic sauces which was yummy (always one of my favorites), as well as an orange sauce that I couldn't quite place whether it was house sauce, cheese sauce (it didn't taste like cheese), or their "special ketchup sauce" (is this the same as house sauce? Or is house sauce the garlic sauce? Or is it its own thing? So many questions!). Whatever it was was great. The fries were delicious too! Can't wait to try the pepitos next! I'll be bringing my boyfriend in soon (he's from Venezuela), but he may only be able to eat fries because he doesn't eat meat. Hopefully you get some vegetarian or seafood options in soon... or perhaps I missed them. ¡Muchas gracias!

We decided to share the $50 PICADA MIXTA platter which is made to serve two people. Our platter consisted of 1/4 lb steak, 1/4 lb roasted pork, 1/4 lb chicken, 2 ribs, grilled cheese chunks, 2 mini arepas, 4 fried yucca, boiled cassava, a cup of sweet slaw and Venezuelan sausage. All the meats were simply outstanding in flavor! I can't really say which meat was best, but the roasted pork was probably my least favorite. That being said, it was still very good! I also really enjoyed the unusual flavor of the sausage, which was savory and satisfying. The fried cheese was an unexpected favorite and the sauces provided were fantastic as well. After our meal we had the opportunity to meet the owner, who took my buddy on a tour of the kitchen while I took pics of the interior. It was a truly wonderful first time experience and I will certainly be back with my family and more friends! We were told there is live music on the weekends, which explains the stage! ENJOY

It is counter service and there were several tables for patrons to sit and eat. The customer service was excellent and I got my food quickly. The food was ok. The empanada masa was bland and could use some salt in the mix. The filling was good but the dough was too thick so when it was fried the outside was crispy but the inside was doughy. The plate I got has several staples like arepas, yuca and platacones but there was a bland white sauce that I did not like on top. It was better with it scraped off. The sauces all seemed to be Mayo based and very bland. The steak was ok though a bit over cooked. At least it was seasoned. Unfortunately the chicken was not seasoned. The sausage was a Johnsonville sausage and not a real (spicy) chorizo as I had expected. I hope that they will make some minor adjustments to their seasoning, sauces and menu to bring out the traditional flavors of Venezuela.

I knew it when it was at the smaller location before, and the food quality has changed so dramatically. Except for the drinks, we truly felt like the food was lacking flavor. I ordered a reina pepiada and it tasted super flavorless and needed salt and spices and cilantro. My boyfriend ordered the asado negro arepa and liked it but said it also lacked more flavor. The yucca was way too thick and needed way more sauce than what we got to eat with it. Even the plantains lacked salt. I'm not sure if it's because they are trying to cater to a certain audience, but the quality has gone steeply downhill. So much so, I don't think I would go back after that experience. Parking was also a bit difficult to find so plan ahead. There was no line to order. Really sad about how this spot has changed.

I've been back a few times and every items has been good, but be warned, if you order the VERGATARIA burger, make sure you're hungry AND have your stretchy pants on... that thing is NOT playing Their dining area isn't what I would call a full dine in set up, they have a few small tables in case you decide to eat there but it isn't a full DINE IN restaurant like the spot they have in Norcross.
