If you're in the mood from some Venezuelan street food you're in the right place! The cachapas are heavenly. I honestly don't even know which is my favorite, but the beef & pulled pork ones are my usual go to's. Travels surprisingly well so don't be afraid to get it delivered! The servers are always nice & helpful and if you decide to eat in the atmosphere is very casual. Great neighborhood spot - tastes identical to the one in LES! read more

Wonderful food. Service excellent. Most enjoyable meal that was perfectly spiced . Will definitely be back

I had a plantain sandwich in Aruba and I was so happy when I found this spot! I wish instead of it being a fried plantain, I wish it was the soft plantains, but regardless it was still delicious! I do plan on coming back to explore other items on the menu! The service was also great, the store is small but it has indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Patacon Pisao - Paisa Patacon - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I saw this as one of the recommendations from Righteous Eats, and I'm so glad that I got to try it. The patacon is amazing. It was my first time having one, and I'm so glad I had it here. It was so delicious, I practically inhaled it. I got a create your own patacon with pork and the basic toppings with no extras. The sandwich is super messy. The meat juices just drip along with all the other sauces. The meat is so tender. I believe the pork is pernil. It's flavored to perfection. The plantains don't have much flavor, but it works well as the bread. It's greasy, filling, comforting. It's something that everyone should try at least once. Only disappointing thing is that the fried queso blanco is tiny compared to the massive patacon portion. The staff speak Spanish with limited English at this location, but they have an order ahead as well as computerized ordering stations on premise. read more

Patacon Pisao - Pulled Pork Patacon - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Had this bookmarked for a while. You don't come across Venezuelan food often here, so I've been wanting to stop for quite some time. While they do specialize in Patacon, I was ecstatic to see that they had arepas and cachapas as well. I ordered the 2 meats Patacon, a cachapa paisa and tequeños to share. Almost cried when I thought they didn't have tequeños, which are essentially these fried cheesy bread-ish sticks. They came in a set of 3 and they're actually listed in the appetizers section. I wish they also had the tequeños con guayaba tho but it's cool. A Patacon is a platanos sandwich and they have a lot of pre-set fillings or you can customize it and choose whatever you want inside. We opted for the two meats one and added an avocado in it (which is an additional charge). The cachapa paisa was sooo good and I highly recommend trying it if you like the sweet and savory combination; the paisa was loaded with grilled steak and they had an egg and avocado at no additional cost. My only gripe was the wait time. Seemed like it took a while for our order, but everything was pretty fresh and seemed like it was made on the spot! There's a good amount of tables and a set of a bar table along the window if you want to dine-in, but we just did take out and ate outside LOL read more

Food is always good here. I love their fried stuffed arepas. So crispy! Never disappoint. Been coming here for over 10 yrs.

super delicious Venezuelan street food! I ordered a cachapa with shredded chicken, fried cheese and avocado and it was perfect. The chicken was so well seasoned and flavorful, they have a long menu and there is something for everyone! 10/10 read more

Patacon Pisao - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Came here with family on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. It's cheerful and small inside - maybe seating for 10 at tabletops and four to six at a counter that faces the street. There are some questionable stickers on the doorpost for young children who can read (avert their eyes or be ready to have some conversations). Service was gracious - you can order ahead of time and will be notified when it's ready. The food is solid. We had: Chicken empanadas - three to an order and freshly fried cornmeal shell, stuffed with juicy, shredded chicken and a bit of potato. Yucca fries (plain but the loaded ones looked good) - delicious when freshly fried. Pulled pork rice bowl - served with the juiciest and perfectly seasoned pulled pork, white rice and a mountain of black beans with shredded quest blanco on top. The portions are huge! A vegetarian patacon - loved the addition of the sweet plantain and the avocado working together. With the black beans and cheese. These are customizable- next time we'll add the sour pickle for a few cents - it could have used some vinegar to cut the richness of the other ingredients. Highly recommend this establishment for a tasty and quick Venezuelan meal. read more

Good, but I am so tired how greedy these businesses are getting. I'm Venezuelan and from Miami...yall are gonna nickel and dime every sauce...that literally is a main component of the food. .75 sauce for a teeny tiny sauce you should be getting in the first place, and $2 for a lil tiny chimichurri is audacious. I know your profit margins for making that sauce don't require this level of petty charging. read more

Epically horrible. My Wife & I extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the food taste and quality. Patacon Steak seemed to be well done a day old and reheated. Like trying to chew tire rubber with no flavor. The plantain top and bottom hard as a frisbee disk. The other sandwhich with ham was also stale tasting and tortilla a little less rock like. Empanadas were okay the only part of the meal that was tolerable. Most went in the trash and this was $38 dollars later. Ugg!!! We had driven from Bayside as we had read such good things were so excited and wanted to love this place. No such luck. This was a disaster and we've eaten at many varied places to try something new and usually enjoy it. I would Not reccomend to eat here or take to go either as we did. Huge disappointment and 1 star rating and that's a gift only because of the empanadas. read more

My friend and I wanted to try l the Venezuelan food. The lady at the front was very friendly but spoke no English, my friend got by ordering for us.. Then I ordered some sort of burrito Tacucho then the lady didn't understand what I was saying so she made it with Bacon which I don't eat and when I asked for it to be remade she could barely understand me then when my friend translated she said she only can remove the Bacon but not remake me a new one! Which I found bizarre! The food was Good but I wish that can have someone to whom we can talk to and explain what we need to avoid such misunderstandings! Good Food but not coming back for sure! read more

Patacon Pisao - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I walked in here not knowing what to expect at the restaurant. Just know there's no restroom or sink for patrons to wash their hands. They do have hand sanitizers and wipes, but personally I prefer washing my hands. Anyways, I got a tequeno which is cheese wrapped in dough since it comes with a free check-in on yelp. It was yummy especially with sauce on the side. I also tried a sampling of their empanadas. Not bad. For my order, I had to get what they're known for which is the patacon sandwich. I got one that they have on their menu - the llanero one which has steak, onions, and cheese sauce. I tasted way too many onions on this sandwich. They wrote out what is a patacon and apparently it's two green plantains breaded to form a sandwich. It was a bit messy to eat, but glad they served it in aluminum foil wrapping. All in all I'll be returning to try other items, but probably when I already washed my hands and don't have to use the restroom. read more

Patacon Pisao - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I've been coming here since they had a food truck back in 2016-17 ish. But customer service today was horrible. The last time I was here, I was fighting over extra sauce. They didn't give me any than wanna charge, no problem. I left. Today at 2120 (9:20 pm), I went in to use a 3-dollar off coupon they sent me. I called before and asked if I could use it. The lady couldn't understand a word I was saying. I walk into the store, and I tell her you have an option on your computer to add it. The coupon doesn't say store or online. I told her it's not fair for me to get charged to use your app if I'm right in front of you and I can order. I'm all for giving immigrants jobs, but when they can't speak English, it's a problem. I'm asking to speak to a manager, and you are telling me no. Who are you to tell me no? I am an immigrant myself, but if you are going to have a cashier, at least have them understand English. To make matters worse, you pushed me away from your store and closed your register even tho you told me you closed at 2200 (10 p.m.). She needs customer service etiquette. I don't usually write these types of reviews, but when you treat me like shitt as a customer, now I have to write reviews like these, especially if I waste 1 hour of my time to come to your restaurant. read more

Patacon Pisao - Grilled Chicken Bowl - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

This shop has been on my to-visit list for awhile now. Note: I ended up doing a delivery for my first time. I got a paisa patacon, vegetarian tacucho, and fresh passion fruit juice. All the food was pretty solid, but it didn't knock me off my feet (I had somewhat high expectations). I get a feeling it would've been better if I had the food when it was hot rather than having it wait through delivery. Paisa Patacon 3.7/5 Lots of good here and this was the thing I really wanted to love. There was such a variety of flavors and textures which was good at some bites and odd at other bites! The sauce of this sandwich spilled a bit in the delivery bag. Overall, it was a great choice. Some of the meat was a little overcooked/salted. I think the biggest disappointment was the plantains. I wished they was more flavor to them and it was a little closer in texture to fried plantains. Vegetarian Tacucho 4.5/5 This was surprisingly great. I loved the addition of the plantains in the wrap and overall the flavors and the sauce worked very well together. Passion Fruit Juice 4/5 Spilled a bit in the bag which was really unfortunate (this was not factored in my review, since these things happen), maybe there was a better preventative than saran wrap? The juice was overall tangy and on the sweeter side for me, but still great--wish there was passionfruit seeds in it! Would love to visit the store and try more food in a more fresh state (not delivery) and see if there's a difference. I'll be back! read more

Got the 3 meats...it was super tasty. Ordered through Yelp and it was ready a few minutes before the indicated time. No eating inside allowed but there is an outside space to eat.

I have been obsessed with Arepas ever since Virginia Beach got their own Arepa Lounge, and after reading the reviews on both Yelp and Uber Eats about Patacon Piaso, I just knew I was going to love the lunch I ordered here; however, I was left dissappointed. Maybe I placed an order on an off day. I order and Arepa Reina and a side order of Yucca with Chorizo and Queso. My Arepa tasted like it was cooked using old oil and the Chicken Salad definately could've used more seasoning. My Yucca was mad hard but the chorizo on top was pretty tasty. I was only able to eat half of my food and just tossed the rest (which I rarely ever waste food even if I don't care for it.) Overall, I'm glad this wasn't my first expierence eating an Arepa. This place just wasn't my cup of tea. read more

Walking by on a pandemic Saturday, we were looking for a brunch-like meal. Patacon has been on the list of local spots for awhile, but their plantain burger seemed to fit the hunger (Yelp) profile for the day. Added a side of avocado and a side of fries for good measure. Happy belated National Burger Day everyone (May 28). Also tried the Pabellon and that was a nice sandwich with more impactful Southern American flavors with the beans and marinated beef. Service took a little while with the phone and Seamless orders pouring in. I would recommend small customizations to each Patacon sandwich as the plantain buns add dryness and crispness to all the variations. Next time I want to try the Paisa or Buenos Dias. read more

We LOVE Patacon Pisao! I am thankful they have remained open during the time of the COVID-19 restrictions, including offering free curbside delivery! Our personal favorites are the Arepa Vegetarian (we like the arepa crunchy better than grilled), the Arepa Cubana (the arepa crunchy), topped of with Tres Leches sponge cake. To be fair, we like those two so much we really haven't tried many others! ;-) We highly recommend the arepas here. read more

Patacon Pisao - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Ordered on the website, received a text that my order was ready. I left work to go retrieve my order, and was told by the nasty girl at the front counter that it wasn't ready. I asked her how long, she said "I don't know maybe 10 minutes". I asked her if she could go find out from the cooks in the back so I had a better idea of how long I'd be waiting, and she instantly had an attitude. I explained that I had received a text 25 minutes ago that the order was ready, she shrugged her shoulders and said "that's the system". Ok well fix your system because it's not working. Suddenly, 2 minutes later, my order appeared. On top of it all, it was cold and the meat was dry. So my order WAS ready it seems, you just couldn't give it to me for whatever reason? Very strange experience. Very nasty worker. I will not be back. read more

I used to love ordering from this place but I had a really bad experience the other day. The two young girls working were really nice but there was a problem when I charged my debit for my food. They manager who was suppose to deal with the issue didn't arrive till an hour after I asked about what happened to my order because a lot of people came in after me and they got their order first. She completely ignored me and was yelling at the girls. I was on the phone with my bank to let her know the charge went thru, she completely ignored me. She kept yelling in Spanish and kept pointing at me. My food was cold, I hated my experience. The manager has to educate her she on how to her debit/credit card machine works. This place used to be great definitely fell off over the years read more

My love for the food here is so real. Anytime I'm in Bushwick or anywhere in queens, I will go out of my way to go here. I love the chicken avocado patacon. It's seriously my favorite thing to eat. I love that it's a small little place but it's packed with delicious flavorful food. I've also visited the one in the LES and in Inwood. If y'all would open one in Brooklyn, I'll be there just about every day. read more

Patacon Pisao - Chicken Patacon - Venezuelan Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Leave your preconceived notions about bread reigning supreme as the sandwich king at the door when you venture into Patacon Pisao. Translating to "flattened plantain," Patacon Pisao has successfully managed to show us that the plantain can easily give bread a run for its money as a sandwich binder. Owner Liliana Velazquez started her business from the ground up in 2005 out of a food truck in Inwood serving up some of the best Venezuelan food the city has to offer. Her meteoric rise to success has led to to multiple brick-and-mortar locations around New York. Pictured is their most popular menu item: the cachapa, a sweet corn crepe sandwich. Corn kernels peek out from the soft, pancake-esque shell which when folded and stuffed is large enough to feed two. Mine was stuffed with shredded beef, sweet plantains, avocado, cheese, tomato, lettuce, ketchup and mayo. read more

ehh, I used to love this place.. not sure if I got used to it but their prices are insane now and they're even charging for a small cup of (hot) sauce, and i mean SMALL.. they have 3 sauces but they charge for all of em.. Service has always been the same so I can't complain because I can understand it'll take some time to make certain items.. I can say that since they raised their prices, I've noticed slightly bigger portions.. which is cool.. but if it gets bigger, I need more sauce.. to be honest, some of their meats are kinda dry and really need it.. Back then they even had a station to take as many cups of sauce as you want for free, but now charging for each one is kind of crazy for me at that price, even charging for the first sauce that I think should come with the order? 75 cents for the sauce is too much in a tiny cup that doesn't even cover a third of what I like, I don't mind paying for a second or third cup but they charge for the first one?.. there's a Mexican deli up the block that gives an insane amount of guac on each of their tacos and their hot sauce can cover almost 3 tacos at half the cost and I'll still have leftover sauce.. read more

We ordered two arepas. The lady spoke no English and even when spoken to in Spanish, she still didn't understand. After receiving our order to go, we asked her twice if there was green sauces in the bag and she replied by saying yes and if we needed even more that it was an extra 75 cents. My boyfriend clarified in Spanish a second time to make sure the green sauces were added into the bag and the lady answered again and said yes! When we got home, there were no green sauces. Instead they were on the sandwich and the bread was already so soggy by the time we got home, mind you, we only live 2 blocks away. Very disappointed and never returning. read more

The patacon sandwich is an innovative way to eat patacon. I like tostones. So decided to give it a shot. It was good, but felt patacons are a bit dry to replace sandwich bread. I like cachapa a lot better. Passion fruit drink was my most favorite thing here. Tequeno was ok. Prices are very reasonable. And they give very innocent quantity. read more
