    Tequenos
    Karla B.

    Delicious food, my favorites were the mini empanadas, they are expertly cook and perfectly crispy!! The staff is friendly and the food is fantastic. Next time I'll try the yucca too.

    The food was super fresh. Venezuelan cuisine! The appetizer patacones was as filling as a meal. The combination of flavors was unique and delicious! I had read a review about the rice being incredibly tasty. I agree! There was some kind of butter flavoring. Everything was 100% and all highly recommended. There is Venezuelan music in the background. The service was prompt and friendly. This place is very authentic and very enjoyable on our trip passing through.

    Mini Empanadas

    So glad we stumbled upon this gem! Decided to try Fogonero for lunch and we were not disappointed. The mini empanadas were so good and the chicken chupe soup was fantastic. My mom loved her shredded beef arepa. Our server, Wilson, was very friendly. Overall we had a great experience and will be back.

    We stopped in to try something different. It was a nice quiet evening just us and one other table. We tried the tequenos, empanadas, crispy fish and pabellon criollo. The empanadas were served with an amazing garlic aioli sauce....soo yummy. It comes with 4 different ones ground beef, shredded beef, shredded chicken and cheese. My favs were both beef. All the food was fresh and prepared well. The fish we"as incredible! The plantains both regular and green fried were solid. The service was great, very attentive.

    It was described as flan-like but not flan. I would say that was a great description! It was delicious!

    Every bite I had today was absolutely amazing! Our server, Wilson, was so attentive and helpful with explaining what different things were. We were there for a very late lunch so were the only ones there but for a group of 6, we got our food quickly but they also timed the meals correctly. Like we had just finished our appetizers when they came out with all our meals. They did a fantastic job! By far the best restaurant I've been to in Cedar Park!

    Terrible. Una falta de respeto al tiempo del cliente. Ordené una orden para pick up y me dieron tiempo estimado de 18-20 minutos. Llegué, y la orden demoró 40 minutos en estar lista. Estando ahí, me dijo el hombre de la caja que recién estaban empacando mi orden, e incluso salió a preguntarme "en qué envase quería que me sirviera la ensalada", ofreciéndome un contenedor grande para tres ensaladas, cuando le había solicitado tres comidas, no una comida familiar o algo por el estilo. Aparte de eso, me dieron un pan de jamón tostado, quemado, y todas las porciones por individual en vez de 3 platos individuales que había pedido. No agregaron cubiertos. solicité la orden para llevar por justamente tema de tiempo y me arruinaron mi itinerario de la noche por el retraso.

    Empanadas

    First impressions are important. We walked in and saw three people sitting behind the counter. We stood at the front and nobody acknowledged us. The restaurant was completely empty so we decided to show ourselves to a table. Again no one came over for about 15 minutes until we asked. We ordered quite a bit of food here. Nothing wowed us. We ordered the beef with the red wine sauce, it was very overdone and tough to eat. The empanadas were okay, i think the ground beef and the cheese were the best choice. The fried yucca were okay. We won't be going back but the space itself was pretty open, seemed like there was plenty of space to sit.

    Pastelitos

    Delicious Venezuelan food-need I say more? When the menu is entirely on Spanish, you know it's going to be good. Don't know Spanish? No problem- they have a QR code menu in English. We went on a super cold Sunday night, so they weren't very busy, but wow. The service was wonderful and the food was even better. Even my young kids loved the food, most of which was new to them. If you have young kids that aren't adventurous, the kids menu has two solid staples for them: chicken strips with fries or Mac and cheese. It's a simple restaurant, comfortable, not fancy. We had the mini empanadas and the pastelitos for appetizers. For our entrees, we had Pabellon Criollo and Asada Negro, with a side of fried yucca. For the kids we ordered a Mini Pabellon, as well as a chicken strips and fries plate, just in case they didn't like it. Spoiler alert: they loved the Mini Pabellon!

    On a whim this evening, we spun the Yelp wheel, and ended up at Fogo Nero in Cedar Park. What a fortuitous spin that was! The restaurant is on the backside of a strip mall, entered off of Walton Way, so you cannot see it from the street. But, the drive around to the rear of the strip mall is rewarded with amazing food. Suite 132, follow the numbers and you'll find it. Plenty of parking back there! It was a Sunday evening, about 6:30 PM, and the place was pretty empty. Not surprising, since it's only been open about two months, and only 3 reviews on Yelp. The tip off ... all reviews were 5 stars. Cross reference Google Maps... 33 reviews, all 5 stars! Adding another 5 star review here! (PS the Pflugerville location has been open 2.5 years). First things first... the owner, Wilson, greeted us at the door and seated us. Very amicable fellow, good spirited, great guy! Since it wasn't that busy this evening, we were able to visit at length on multiple occasions. He did a great job explaining the cuisine, a Venezuelan-Peruvian-Italian fusion. Seasonings and flavors you likely have not experienced before (like us), but were fantastic! We started with two appetizers: the classic ceviche and the mini-empanada plate. Both amazing. We downed the empanadas first, while they were hot. In the appetizer plate, you get 4 different fillings, shredded beef, ground beef, shredded chicken and cheese. For "mini" empanadas, these things were big. The fillings were wonderfully seasoned, and on point! Served piping hot... let them cool a minute or two... A brief aside, Fogo Nero provides a red/orange picante sauce and garlic aioli on the side. You'll need extras of those, both are delicious... keep asking for more while you dine! When you experience a meal there, you'll understand why! For entrees, we ordered crispy fish and the seafood soup (fosforera). The crispy fish (fried cod sticks) was excellent, right amount of batter, serve piping hot, topped with "chalaca." If you haven't had chalaca, get it here! Wonderful! The seafood soup was also delicious. Lots of seafood in the soup. The fish and shrimp had a bit of a fishy taste, but timing is tough when you're making a soup to order, and some of the items are pre-cooked (think timing on a paella recipe). The calamari and mussels were perfect! We had the occasion to visit with Wilson for about 10 minutes at the end of the meal... we discussed all the dishes we had, ingredients, etc. We even discussed the seafood soup and slightly "fishy" fish and shrimp. Wilson was very interested in and appreciated the feedback. We had a very nice chat! We cannot wait to go back, so many more menu items to try! Bottom Line: fantastic new place in Cedar Park. All my fellow Yelpers and Google Maps friends should check it out ASAP. We are definitely going back... over and over! Highly recommend Fogo Nero. Get you some of that...!!!

    Fried Sweet Plantain

    In the strip mall on Walton Way next to Walmart a new Argentinian restaurant opened. Looking over the menu before I went, Thought the pricing was a little high. Then again everything is priced high now. The was plenty of parking close to the door. I head inside and no one but workers there. I guess lunch is a good time to go. Since I wasn't that hungry, decide to order just an appetizer. The four mini empanadas and a side of sweet plantains it is. So I sipped my tea until the food was delivered. While the empanadas were cooling, I dig into the sweet plantains. So tender and sweet. I had about 3 and realized there were still empanadas to eat. I had one each of ground beef, shredded beef, chicken and cheese. Truthfully they were all delicious. I tried the ground beef first, packed with flavor and love the dough crispy yet soft inside. The chicken was next and I think this was my favorite. I do plan on going again. waiting because we have so many new restaurants that are pricy opening, I want to try others.

    This place is a treat. Everything tastes like someone's mom made it. It's hidden... they'd crush if they did food trucks in Austin.

    Tasty food. The mango and guanabana juices are delicious. Can't go wrong with the meat plates. Arepa and cachapa worth try out.

I went for Mother's Day for a nice day out with some friends and I'm not a mother yet but good Lord I felt second hand embarrassment for the staff here if this is what Mother's get for their sacrifice. A hostess actually said "you should have told me" about where we sat. It was ridiculous. We literally waited 45 minutes. I could have and should have driven home in that time. It was so stupid. Seriously not good. Don't go. BleCh. Wish I could leave no stars. Negative!!!

I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.
