Why 3 stars? Because the whole experience was a bit of a let down…read more --- --- --- I had this place bookmarked and wanted to check it out for a few weeks. I finally made the drive down 1488, but was a bit saddened by the events. Attempt #1: I drove over, put in my order and waited. A few minutes later, my buzzer went off and I was told that the gas for their stove top ran out and that they would have to refund me. It's unfortunate and it happens, but it was definitely not ideal since I drove 15-20 minutes just for this. Attempt #2: I sat in awful traffic on my way here that made my commute about 30 minutes. And then I waited another 20+ for my food after ordering, which I definitely did not expect. When I got home, I was pretty unimpressed with my pepito. And my wife felt the same about her California hot dog. I know this is about as small a business as they come and I hate to be too harsh, so I'll just leave my rating at 3-stars, though it's a bit of a round-up.

Yasss food truck heaven here! We came across Latin 58 and saw their awesome menu. My husband got a guanábana drink and some guava tequenos, jalapeño and cheese tequenos, and lastly a chicken empanada. Wowowowow. The juice was amazing, had great fresh taste and the snacks were fire! They were delicious. The guava and cheese tequenos took me back to my home town L.A. when we're would hit up Porto's bakery for some guava and cheese bread. It was amazing! Definitely come check this place out and ask for Damaris, she was really awesome. Customer service was great and they even gave my daughter some really tasty cookies with sprinkles which she loves soooo much.

He tried his best to answer all my questions and provide recommendations. I'm not quite familiar with those food names so I asked a ton! He's super nice and super patient, definitely worth a mention! I ordered beef patacon. Maybe because I'm not a pro when judging Latino food, the food is not as good as I expected. It's basically shredded beef sandwich with fried plantains "bun". The fried plantain is very dry and taste like two giant pieces of chips. (I mean I would prefer to keep a bit moisture inside but that might not be authentic Venezuela way). Shredded beef taste alright and nothing special. BTW, their empanadas look a bit different from those I had before. Maybe if I got chance to come again I'll try fried pork or beef empanadas.

Food was amazing, the service was even better…read more I was craving some empanadas and I saw this place was highly rated so I thought I would give it a try. Just my bad luck, the time I came in there was a kids soccer team and their parents in front of me. I placed my order behind them and waited patiently. 5 mins later my name was already called. The gentleman behind the counter ( I assume was the owner) made food for me on the house because he told me it would be a while. 10 mins later my food was ready! Both the baked and fried empanadas were delicious. if i could only pick only one I would choose the fried one. but if youre looking for something lighter defiantly go for the bake one. Amazing food and service. Will back again

Perhaps at some point this was a food truck, and maybe still goes out to events with their food…read moretruck, but I am in a full restaurant, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and nice cool AC. There is a small menu with tiny print, but luckily the young man behind the counter was very helpful. I asked him for suggestions from a few things I had narrowed it down to. I am getting a Patagonia mixture, with pork, and the pork Ralf recommended. It's very colorful for sure, and I'm not quite sure how to eat it because it's a sandwich looking type item with the filling falling out the sides. The first thing I noticed is the mustard. Oye, thats a lot of mustard, and I'm thinking, maybe ketchup? I haven't ever put ketchup on a sandwich, well burgers aside. It's definitely too hot to pick up at the moment, so I'll continue. I also ordered a drink, Papelon con Limon. It's sweet, for me, too sweet, but I also have water, so I am good. I had to cut the beast in half to get a better handle on it. There is lettuce, tomato, ham, cheese and like a pulled pork. I have yet to figure out what it is that holds all this together, some kind of fried ... idk, something, perhaps a fried plantain. It's really good, really messy and a little heavy on the mustard. I do wish the print on the menu was bigger, even with my glasses, I couldn't make any of it out. I also had to, or felt the need to, soak up excess grease from the ... , bun? It's not a bun, I just don't know what else to call it. I am thrilled with the taste, it's really good, again, a little mustard heavy, but that's ok I am going to bring the other half home to my son, along with the sweet drink, I feel he will like this even more than I do. I am also going to have to look at the menu online and see if there is a better, easier to read description. another table ordered burgers, and they look pretty dang good, huge too. So yeah, I would definitely give this place a try again and recommend.

The customer service is honestly some of the best I have experienced anywhere. They treat you like family from the moment you pull up. They are so sweet, smiling, and genuinely happy to serve you. Even though it is an outside spot, they make it feel so comfortable and easy. They give you a little alarm so you can relax in your car while you wait, and it goes off when your food is ready at the window. It is such a thoughtful touch that makes the whole experience stress free. And then there is the food. Everything tastes so fresh, warm, and made with love. The tequeños are perfection, crispy on the outside and filled with gooey cheese that melts in your mouth. The empanadas are packed with flavor and always come out hot and fresh. You can tell nothing has been sitting around. It is made for you and handed to you at the perfect temperature. The freshness and care in every bite makes it stand out from anywhere else. I really wish more people knew about this place. Every time I drive by, I do not see as many people there as I think should be. This food and this service deserve a line wrapped around the corner. It is one of those spots you fall in love with instantly and then want to tell everyone you know about. If you want incredible food, warm customer service, and an experience that feels personal every single time, this is the place. I cannot recommend it enough.

Their unique position as one of the only Venezuelan spots in the loop becomes even more niche when one realizes that part of the menu is also Mediterranean / Middle Eastern (#1). If that's not Houston in a nutshell, I don't know what is. The place sports a casual vibe with a clean and bright interior. It's been practically empty with every visit, but I suspect the takeout game is strong here. There is limited parking in the back of the restaurant and the narrow alleyway entrance is somewhat easy to miss. Food wise, I am not disappointed. Their cheese cachapa is the stuff of dreams and includes a number of stuffings from ham to shredded chicken / beef. My vote is for their pabellón, which is a nice combination of shredded beef, black beans, and sweet plantains. For cheese lovers, the double cheese is perfectly indulgent with the sweetness of the cornmeal. The main draw for me was the arepas, which is something I missed having had so much of it back in NYC. La Pelua (shredded beef, mixed shredded cheese) is one of my go-tos, but my all-time favorite is the reina pepiada, a shredded chicken mixed with avocado topped with sprinkled salty white cheese. It's a staple in the Venezuelan arepa game and while their version is very solid, I'm just extremely thankful that it's available. Their breakfast platters are a big draw, which mainly consist of scrambled egg combos paired with arepas and various proteins. I think their yuca buñelos, tequeños, patacones, and especially their mandocas are incredibly underrated. The latter is practically dessert since it's mashed plantains with the cachapa stuffed with sugar and cheese. While they're not known for their empanadas, I do think their cazon (#2) is unique and their potato and cheese is always hearty. The shredded beef is a nice alternative to their arepas or arepitas (side) and make for an excellent snack on the go. Fans of Venezuelan cuisine who find themselves in the inner loop owe them a visit and I highly recommend calling ahead of time to ensure they have items available and to get a jump on the wait time for takeout. They are a slept on gem in the neighborhood and one that I hope sticks around for a very long time. _____________ (#1) The owners are Venezuelan and Syrian. The sweetest couple. (#2) Dogfish? It's really a mini shark.

All the items were good especially the caxapa and the empandas, though I think the combination of items I picked was definitely fryer-heavy.
