The ambiance is 0 because this is in a gas station but I would absolutely eat here again. We got the chorizo + jalapeno pupusas and they were both phenomenally flavored, fresh and hot. Make sure you get the slaw too!

"El Mana" or "The Manna" is a small Salvadoran pupuseria locates inside the Texaco…read more For those unfamiliar with pupusas "A pupusa is a thick flatbread from El Salvador made with cornmeal or rice flour. It is usually stuffed with one or more ingredients. These may include cheese (such as quesillo or cheese with loroco buds), chicharrón, squash, or refried beans. It is typically accompanied by curtido (a spicy cabbage slaw), and tomato salsa, and is traditionally eaten by hand, without the use of utensils. The exact origin of the pupusa has not been proven." Wikipedia (You can go ahead and hit that useful vote now) The pupusa's here are made fresh the corn meal is excellent, the cheese is delicious. The cabbage slaw is very good as well. Yummy stuff my fellow Yelpers. At about $2 apiece you can't get a better lunch under $5. On every visit I see them peeling tamarinds for the Aguas Frescas here, super fresh and delicious! Everyone at El Mana is a volunteer, with proceeds going to the construction of a church. Eat Pupusas, do good! There may be a bit of a language barrier at the counter but well worth it for what your getting, and the good you're doing! You owe me.

It's nice and festive inside. You order from the front and they bring your food to you. I was happy I could get a patacon with sweet plantains for the perfect sweet and savory. You can pick your protein. Our second order was a cachapa which is a sweet corn pancake folded with tons of cheese and your protein. I loved my patacon better. They were all around excellent 5 stars for food, service, & ambiance!

**This review is for their Gainesville location that opened not long ago…read more You know my love for Venezuelan food so the fact that Gainesville now has another Venezuelan food spot is a huge YES for me. 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

True Venezuelan Flavor Over Fire…read more Carne En Vara Barinas Grill is something special. It's a small spot here in Gainesville serving up Carne en Vara... Venezuelan style grilled meats cooked over open wood fire, just like they do in Los Llanos. That smoky, firewood flavor hits different. Everything has that homemade, rustic feel, and the food is packed with seasoning and personality. The staff is friendly, the vibe is casual, and you can literally see the meat roasting right there. If you love barbecue (not saucy bbq... but the cooking style) or Latin flavors, go check this place out. You'll leave happy and full.
