    a menu on a food truck

    Amazing food!!!I will be back! The food is all delicious with vegetarian and gluten free options. Lots of variety and the staff were friendly! Yum!

    these ladies are the sweetest mother-daughter duo and they know how to cook! The arepas are cooked crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, like a warm Venezuelan pita pocket. Omg and their salsas are so good too. Get the one stuffed with chicken, steak, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. ⁣go ahead and get two because you'll want to go back for more.

    We tried this food truck right in front of Denver Beer Co and it was the best arepa I've ever had! I got the pabellón and it was so good! The side salsa was a little spicy but good and the sauce was so creamy! I would definitely recommend this place if you grab a beer or around the area! Definitely a must try.

    I am not going to lie, this was the absolute best sandwich I have ever had from a food truck or restaurant in general in a long time. I asked her just to give me whatever was the most popular because everything looked so good and now I will be on a mission to track this truck down in Denver every day for the rest of my life. 10 stars hands down.

    This place is the real deal for Venezuelan food. I had the $16.50 lunch combo special which…read moreincluded a carnitas empanada, three cheese sticks /tequeños appetizers and a beverage. The empanada was huge--one was plenty for me. A friend ordered two and could only finish one! We also shared the Yucca Root with cheese and fresh avocado appetizer. Everything was simply made and very delicious, especially with one or more of the sauces provided in plastic bottles for the table. The service was prompt and friendly. The ambience is strictly plain, but the outdoor tables with umbrellas would be great on a nice warm day. I'll be back!

    As a person who passionately write reviews on Yelp, finding a restaurant many call a hidden gem is…read morea prideful moment. Last Sunday (on the day many were getting ready for their Super Bowl gatherings), I was busy running some errands in Sunnyside neighborhood. All of a sudden, the thought of eating to entertain my 70% empty stomach hit me, I searched for the word "empanada" as I wanted some finger food and this restaurant came up in my search. Upon finding out that it was about 5-10 minutes away from where I was, it was a no brainer to me. This is a Venezuelan restaurant with almost 5-star review. Not knowing much about Venezuelan cuisine, my first thought was that they might have similar dishes as the surrounding South American countries like Columbia do. But most of all, I was so eager to try their empanadas. I've had Argentinian, El Salvadorian, Columbian and Nicaraguan versions of empanadas in the past. I wondered how different Venezuelan ones would be... I was warmly greeted by a young lady upfront upon arrival. This is a small/family style restaurant. The number of tables is very limited but you can sit outside as long as the weather permits. There was a large table of 7-9 people having a birthday party. I think I hit the place during the peak lunch time. Their empanadas are priced at $8 range. This was a bit pricey to me at the first glance but since I didn't know what kind of portion size they'd be made in, I thought I'd give them a try. I got me Reina Pediada, Sweet Domino and Fish. The total came to $27 with some change. Yup, you usually don't pay this much for a few to several empanadas but hey, like I said, I decided not to judge at that point. The young lady who took my order impressed me with some careful attention to detail. I placed my sunglasses at the ordering counter where the space was very limited. She had to move them just a little when she placed the credit card receipt for me to sign it. "I worked in the optics before." is what she said when she gently placed my sunglasses a little to the side in a very careful way. What a kind/considerate gesture that was! This kind of minor and yet incredible care didn't escape my notice. Thank you!!! When my food was ready, the same young lady handed me my bag. It was quite heavy. As soon as I got to my car, I opened it and there they were; my beautiful empanadas were large and dense/heavy!! They appeared to be all deep-fried so I wonder if Venezuelan style empanadas are all that way? Not sure. Anyway, I was on my way to a job duty so I had to eat quickly. I started to take a bite out of each one and ohhh yes, they were dense with a lot of fillings inside. Although I must frankly say that I like the flaky baked kind of empanadas more, these Venezuelan ones were equally impressive. Yes, this was a surprise find. I will definitely stop by here when I'm in the neighborhood for sure.

I absolutely love arepas and the second I saw this place in the Avanti food court I knew I had to get it because I've been craving good Venezuelan arepas rellenas for so long. I'm vegetarian which they had multiple options for and I decided on the 'La Original' arepa with black beans, plantains, and avocado, and I requested for cheese on it as well which they added free of charge. The arepa was everything I could've ever wanted and it didn't fall apart while eating it even though it was super full which was good because that does happen often with poorly made arepas. I also got the sweet fried plantains which had cheese and their special sauce and were so so good. The employees were kind and attentive and the food came out in about 5 minutes because there was pretty much no line. I loved this place and wish I lived in Boulder so I could get it more often. Si te hace falta una buena arepa venezolana, te juro que este lugar no te decepcionará, ni en su calidad, servicio al cliente, ni su autenticidad. Lo recomiendo con todo mi corazón y te juro que saldrás lleno y contento.

No onion, no sauces.. nothing...just dry meats and a soggy bread and few dry wilted lettuce. Super disappointing to having paid almost $75 dollars for three pieces of meat in a bun, no cheese and no flavors. Even if you have the sauces outside it doesn't mean that your burger is wow.. we are not coming back! It is not worth it the long drive but also to try a burger that lacks of flavor and the original venezuelan style but also the toppings (cheese, onion, fried egg, tomato, avocado, papas ralladas) I just felt that I tried like an american burger but with three different meats and nothing else. I can say like a McDonalds.. even McDonals tastes better and less expensive.. You have such a basic and overrated concept. In addition, the fries were over cooked that one almost breaks my teeth. Not coming back! Not even to try again.. Also it was super expensive. With thay money I paid, I would have gone to a restaurant even fancy.. but this food truck is a waste of time and money. Service: it was so so as well. People over there, lack of customer service as well. They forgot items from my order too. Few things that we paid were missing and we realized about it when we were back home. Not even worth it to drive and to get this back. We GOT RIPPED OFF.. your menu promised things and you sold a terrible product that lacked of quality and presentation. BTW.. The only good things: Tequeños, Colombian Soda (Manzana) and guasacaca.
