Los Panas is a family owned Venezuelan food truck in the Anderson Mill International Food Park with…read moretasty empanadas and a delicious sauce to add on the side! FAST FACTS: * Parking: decent size lot near the food park but it can be hard to find a spot when it's busy * Walk up and order at the truck... you'll get a pager to let you know when your order is ready * Outdoor seating: lots of picnic tables around the truck * Accepts credit cards * Closed Monday and Tuesday SERVICE: The workers were friendly for the most part. I ordered at 6:53 pm on a Friday night and my order was ready at 7:04 pm. There was no line when I ordered. PRICING: The total was $8.65 after tax ($0.66) but before tip for a pabellon empanada ($7.99). I feel like the pricing was in line with the other food trucks in the park. PABELLON EMPANADA (6/10) - The empanada dough was a great thickness and was fried well. There is plenty of filling but the shredded meat was one big hunk that was hard to chew and there was one big piece of fried plantain. I would have preferred the meat and plantain to be spread throughout the empanada instead of in a single bite. I probably wouldn't order this again but would like to try other items they offer like the arepas. I wanted to give Los Panas 3.5 stars overall but bumped it up to 4 because the green sauce they have is DELICIOUS! I'm happy I tried Los Panas but wouldn't rush to come back or necessarily recommend it as a must try in the food park.

While filling, I thought these arepas were ok tastewise…read more I had the Pabellon and the top half of my arepa was really good. It had a good amount of meat, and the sweet plantain balanced out the savory cheese. But after that top layer, it's just densely packed beans with no flavor. And it just became a chore to eat. I wish the toppings were a bit more evenly distributed or even that the beans were flavored. My friend got the Catira and she didn't finish hers either so I tried a bite. While the cheese was really salty, the chicken didn't have much flavor.

I'm a long-time Ramos customer and admit to some well-earned bias…read more Everyone has different tastes but (wow) Ramos has a great menu, staff and kitchen. I also like the atmosphere, art on the walls, and the small bar at the back that provides excellent drinks. Very chill, very unique. Above all, I like the food. I'm pretty much a breakfast taco guy -- yes, they do add a fresh, sliced jalapeno on request. But I'm also a tacos and enchiladas guy past noon (love em). The chips are great and bottomless. My wife like their green sauce, I favor the red sauce. I wouldn't mind a little more heat from the red sauce but, hey, viva la difference! The staff is always familiar, friendly and engaging, and the service is great. You were warned, I am a long-time customer... but they have earned my loyalty, one plate at a time.

Absolutely loved this place!…read more The staff, the ambiance, the other people eating - everything was chill and felt like family. The food was amazing! Just look at it! My pictures speak for themselves. Everything was full of flavor. Cooked to perfection! And tasted like grandma's house.

We went with another couple friend so we ordered 3 appetizers:…read more - tequeños - mini empanadas - arepitas All were solid choices! Really couldn't go wrong with any of those. Our server was great! She was nice, checked on us and refilled our waters frequently. Entrees: - Pabellion Criollo: meat was a little too salty for my friend's taste but she said the rice balances it out really well. They accommodated her request for scrambled instead of fried eggs. - Asado Negro: Sooo good. It was like, beef and gravy, but better. They allowed me to sub the beans for extra rice - Surf and turf sandwich: Hubby said it was okay but adding more of the green sauce helped a bit - Filet mignon (can't remember the exact name): our other friend liked his staff as well! They also accommodated his request to have the egg on the side. I guess it could be a hole in the wall place since it's in an unassuming small business strip but the music was good and everyone loved the food! Be warned: there is only 1 bathroom so plan your potty break accordingly...

Have been here a couple of times and the food and service have been consistently good. So far, I've…read moregotten the Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Pabellón Plate (with chicken), and both were great. The chicken was not dry and the portions left me full. Plenty of menu options as well. The staff are warm, welcoming, and accommodating (we came with a group of 6 and they got us situated right away). The space is small (which I find very nice), there is indoor and covered/shaded outdoor seating available. And I love the decor! Overall, highly recommend!

My husband and I came here for dinner and we decided to sit outside…read more I wasn't very hungry so I ordered their single taco with al pastor shrimp, which was an extra $2.99 and lime/guac for an extra 50 cents (on top of the single taco, which was $4.50). My husband ordered their burrito, which came with chips and a cheese dip on the side. Their shrimp was good; nothing special. I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/

While I wait for a root canal and manage mouth pain, I'm sticking to soft foods and soup. That led…read moreme to Fogonero in Cedar Park, Texas, an authentic Venezuelan restaurant. Pro tip: It's not directly on Walton Way; it's on the side of the building. Wilson, one of the owners, kindly guided me to the entrance when my GPS said I had arrived, but I still couldn't see the restaurant. Please note that there is indoor and outdoor dining along with free parking. Fogonero is best known for its empanadas, arepas, and other traditional Venezuelan specialties. While all of those sounded tempting, I was craving one food specifically...plantains. I have a real weakness for sweet fried plantains, and lately they have become my ultimate "go-to" comfort food. Fogonero's plantains hit the spot. They were perfectly sweet, moist, and enjoyable to eat. The restaurant is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a striking mural of the Venezuelan flag painted in vibrant colors across the wall. It's eye-catching, inviting, and instantly sets the tone for the experience. Alfred welcomed me with a warm smile and immediately recognized that I was there to pick up an order. He had everything packed and ready to go, making the process quick and seamless. His friendly, personable demeanor made a great first impression. I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu once my mouth is back in eating condition.

First time here! Came during lunch time and we were seated immediately…read more Husband got the creole breakfast and I ordered their pesto mushroom risotto. Husband enjoyed his plate and finished it within a few minutes. It came with 2 different types of sauces: a white cilantro flavored one and a red mild sauce that was a bit spicy for him. The pesto mushroom risotto was good, but a little salty for my liking. If you want to add protein, it's ~$6 for beef or shrimp and ~$4 for chicken. Overall, it was good! We'll most likely be back. I want to try their empanadas next time!

Managing a large party can be challenging, but she handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and a genuinely positive attitude. She kept everyone's orders organized, made sure drinks stayed full, accommodated special requests without missing a beat, and remained friendly and attentive throughout the entire event. Despite the size of our group, every guest felt well taken care of. Her excellent service played a big part in making our celebration enjoyable and memorable. If you're lucky enough to have Alice as your server, you're in great hands! Thank you for going above and beyond and helping make our coworker's retirement party such a special occasion!

She looked annoyed the entire time. Some of the waitresses were standing around and not working. There was food on the floor and seats felt super sticky. Music was the best. Great choice of music. Food was good. Got the suiza enchiladas and rice was very good. My daughter's fries were over cooked. Portions were big. Loved the glass cups. Bathroom was big and clean. Overall not bad. Would I come back again? Sure. Hoping I don't get the same waitress
