While my review itself is a bit late, I do think about this place often because of how good the food was. I haven't had pepitos before, but this made an amazing introduction for me! From the outside, it looked like the rest of the plaza and didn't stand out much. Stepping in, it was surprisingly pretty cool and a bit modern with the lighting and walls. It was clean too. I would recommend getting a pepitos over the burger, though both are great. It's just easier to put away the rest for later because of how filling eating just half is. The fries were crispy and good for trying out all the sauces. And the sauces? Love the variety. The bacon sauce truly tastes like bacon and has bits of it in it. Corn is probably made with sweet corn, and it was creamy. Love the garlic. The honey mustard was good too. Cheese confuses me. It wasn't a cheese flavor I am more familiar with, and it wasn't like the cheese used in the meal. I didn't dislike it, but I also did mix sauces together, and I liked it better once mixed with something else. Garlic still is just great overall though. We ended with churros, which were pretty good. They drizzle lots of chocolate, caramel, and condensed milk over them, and while I felt guilty after eating so much food, I loved every moment. They give quite a bit, and we couldn't finish them all. Great dessert for sharing, and another draw to this place if you don't want a full meal, though I highly recommend getting food as well.

Pardon my French, but... Holy sh*t!…read more I was craving Venezuelan food... and a burger... so I decided to combine the cravings. Normally, when I get Venezuelan food, I'm too drawn to the arepas, empanadas, and cachapas to get something like a burger. I've seen several Venezuelan restaurants with burger options I've wanted to try, but like I said, normally, I go traditional. However, today was the day I decided to finally do it! I opened up UberEats and... what is that? A Teque Burger? Could it be??? Yes! The "bun" is tequeños! Immediately, I knew I had to order one of these. I went with no bacon today and chose cheese sauce as well as house sauce. The description didn't say whether or not it came with fries, so when I saw the temptingly priced $2.99 french fry option, I threw them in my cart. I can't speak on ambiance because I ordered UberEats, but service was quick to pack up my order. My food arrived hot and fresh, just minutes after I made it home from the gym! Perfect. The verdict? As you can tell by the excitement of my review: a huge success! The Teque Burger was grilled to perfection. The tequeno bun was mind blowing. The whole thing was absolutely delicious. I cut my burger in half to save the other half for later. As I ate my burger and devoured the meat, there was still tequeño bun overhang for me to dip into the sauces. They gave me ample garlic sauces which was yummy (always one of my favorites), as well as an orange sauce that I couldn't quite place whether it was house sauce, cheese sauce (it didn't taste like cheese), or their "special ketchup sauce" (is this the same as house sauce? Or is house sauce the garlic sauce? Or is it its own thing? So many questions!). Whatever it was was great. The fries were delicious too! Can't wait to try the pepitos next! I'll be bringing my boyfriend in soon (he's from Venezuela), but he may only be able to eat fries because he doesn't eat meat. Hopefully you get some vegetarian or seafood options in soon... or perhaps I missed them. ¡Muchas gracias!

This place was a mom and pop store, and it doesn't get more small business than that. I picked out an assortment of arepas to try out. For 4 people I ordered 6 and we definitely had leftovers as the arepas were quite large. I ordered the Huevos Perico, Pollo a la plancha, carne mechada, and queso de mano o Guayanes. They were all tasty and I would definitely recommend coming here. I would have to say though the prices that used to be there is long gone. Expect the arepas to be a little bit more pricier. Overall the arepas and flavors were great. I thought it's a great breakfast spot and that it should definitely be in the rotation for a possible breakfast spot. If you're trying to find something new for breakfast, I would definitely recommend Natarica Grill as it's been around for a long time and is well known in the neighborhood.

Since I ordered delivery via UberEats, I can't speak on the ambiance. However, service was great, as they were quick to accept my order and packed it up nicely. I ordered: -tequeños- cheese sticks (5) for $6.48. The price was less expensive than another restaurant I was looking at that only gave 3 for $6.50, and even less than a restaurant I often order from that charges $3.99 for just 1! -Arepa $9.98. It's your choice of protein (pulled beef/carne mechada, grilled beef/carne asada, pulled chicken/pollo mechado, grilled chicken/pollo asado, sweet beef/lomo negro), veggies (lettuce/lechuga, tomato/tomate, pico de gallo-chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro), cheese (white cheese/queso de mano, grated white cheese/queso blanco rollado, grated yellow cheese/queso amarillo rallado), and sauces/salsas (tartar/tatara, ketchup, mayor mustard, cheddar, corn, bacon, pink/salsa rosada, spicy picante). You also select whether you want your arepa grilled/asada or fried/frita. ***I selected a grilled arepa with pulled chicken, lettuce, queso de mano, salsa rosada and spicy picante. While my arepa had the correct chicken and sauces, I received a fried arepa instead with grated white cheese and pico de gallo. Not sure if they made some substitutions because they were out of the ingredients I ordered or if the changes were made by error. Next time, I'd suggest notifying the customer and discussing options which is why I sadly docked off a star, but I'm still happy with my meal over all. Luckily, I like pico, all cheeses, and fried arepas too. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The chicken was juicy. The sauces were great. The tequeños were addictive. The tastes were incredible. The prices were fair. I'm excited to try the empanadas and cachapas next, and am looking forward to introducing my boyfriend to this place. He's Venezuelan and I'm sure he will love it too.

We decided to share the $50 PICADA MIXTA platter which is made to serve two people. Our platter consisted of 1/4 lb steak, 1/4 lb roasted pork, 1/4 lb chicken, 2 ribs, grilled cheese chunks, 2 mini arepas, 4 fried yucca, boiled cassava, a cup of sweet slaw and Venezuelan sausage. All the meats were simply outstanding in flavor! I can't really say which meat was best, but the roasted pork was probably my least favorite. That being said, it was still very good! I also really enjoyed the unusual flavor of the sausage, which was savory and satisfying. The fried cheese was an unexpected favorite and the sauces provided were fantastic as well. After our meal we had the opportunity to meet the owner, who took my buddy on a tour of the kitchen while I took pics of the interior. It was a truly wonderful first time experience and I will certainly be back with my family and more friends! We were told there is live music on the weekends, which explains the stage! ENJOY

They have a fun menu but my main go to is their pastelitos because they are hard to find. Call ahead like I did and get some pastelitos to go!! @don.arepacho is inside a Mobil gas station off Browns Bridge Rd in Gainesville. I've been back a few times and every items has been good, but be warned, if you order the VERGATARIA burger, make sure you're hungry AND have your stretchy pants on... that thing is NOT playing Their dining area isn't what I would call a full dine in set up, they have a few small tables in case you decide to eat there but it isn't a full DINE IN restaurant like the spot they have in Norcross. If you show up at any get together with pastelitos... everyone will love you, ask me how I know Get your order in and let me know if you can finish off that burger!!! Pictured here LA VERGATARIA - Venezuelans have always liked dressing up their burgers, so don't be surprised by this. In between the buns you'll find the following: a burger patty, grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, bacon, egg, little pepito fries, American cheese, queso de mano (soft white cheese). You're gonna have to be comfortable with getting a little messy here Pastelitos - These are Venezuelan pastelitos, my favorite. You can order a variety of types like ground beef, cheese and potato, pizza, cheese, chicken, or mini pateslitos which are AWESOME because they are a dollar each so you can grab a variety of them Steak Arepa Chicken Cachapa #rolieats #goodeats #goodfood #venezuelanfood #gainesville #northgeorgia #burgers #pastelitos #cachapas #arepas #donarepacho #latinofood #bigfan
