If Fogonero is a good indicator of the tastes this foreign country offers, then it will be worth the trip just to eat there. Any appetizer that offers Sweet Plantains and cheese has my attention. It was yummy! For the main courses, I went with the Pabellón Criollo which is shredded beef topped with a fried egg and wifey chose the Rustick Chicken. The shredded beef was delicious and the accompanying sides boosted the flavor even more. The Rustick Chicken sat on a layer of mashed potatoes and was a solid choice, too. For my dessert - drink , the mango milkshake was pretty amazing. Lots of different fruit flavors options also to try. The inside is small, clean and although there was a bit of a language barrier when ordering, it added a very authentic feel to the experience. Located in Cedar Park just off Whitestone Boulevard, which has now quickly become our alleyway of amazing ethnic restaurants to enjoy.

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.

My friend and I both had their standout dish, pollo a la brasa, a Peruvian classic (chicken marinated with spices and slow roasted over charcoal until the skin is crisp and the meat stays juicy and flavorful.)

For lunch, I made ordered the Naked Burrito. It has the contents of the burrito but no tortillas to make it, made into a salad. They serve with a variety of dressings. The service was pleasant. And very alternative in the server's tasks. He deserved his tip (18 %). Yes, he was that good. They also have chickens in various dishes. I like the charbroiled style either a full size, half and leg quarters. They are open daily. Their hours are 11:00 am till 9:00 Monday thru Saturday. Sunday is 12:00 pm-8:00 am. The restaurant is decorated as if you were transported to Peru.

Obviously everything you would normally expect to be great was great, the cook of the meats, the side dishes, the salads, the drinks, but what really stood out was the creative utilization of searing food hot and fast.
