The food is nothing short of AMAZING here! Pure deliciousness in every dish and every bite! The wife and I started coming here around 2018 or 2019 and we won't stop anytime soon. If you're interested in adding flavor to your day, Tu Cachapa is a great option! read more

I sat there stunned after taking my first bite here. The small touches at this restaurant make the difference. The meals include fresh ingredients displayed attractively. Professional staff who offered great recommendations and entertained my family throughout dinner. The area showcases this standout place. read more

Nasty a$$ cachapa. No flavor and raw! It used to be a good place few years ago. I spent $15 for nothing

My love for cachapas birthed in Chile and I have been looking for it here in NYC and have found it! Definitely order without the ketchup! Got the pollo cachapa and it was big enough to share! Though the corn wasn't as sweet as I would like, it was still delicious. They have the patacon (with plantains) as well and it's something I've yet to try. Definitely a place I would go back to! Place is small with like 3 tables so it's probably easier to do take out. They were quick! read more

Tu Cachapa - Venezuelan Near Me - New York, New York

I have been here a few times and have been a fan of the all-meat cachapas. However, I decided to go for the chorizo one; honestly, it didn't hit the same. It was still good, but to enjoy a cachapa you need to get shredded meat or anything close to it. read more

Tu Cachapa - a drink in a plastic cup - Venezuelan Near Me - New York, New York

Their Cachapas and Patacones are excellent. I really like their portions because I would go to other locations and they give, "Snack-Sized," porportions. It is very authentic the way the food tastes and keeping the Venezulan identity of the dish. Keep up the good work! read more

I craved some snack at late night so tried to find some place that still open. I ordered dominicana tacucho which is good also ordered some empanadas and some Venezolanos tequeyoyos but i got mozzarella stick insteaded .... sadly overall this place is good, my new snack spot. read more

Fastest delivery I've ever had in my life! I was shocked when my doorbell rang. We had the shredded beef yoyo and the shredded chicken yoyo. It was all to die for; so delicious and extremely saucy!! We didn't even need the extra sauce that came with it but I'm glad extra was included! Highly recommend, especially for what you get for the price. Loved it! read more

The food is soo good, and tastes fresh. Their ingredients are superb. Really good spot to get grub.

Tiny establishment that delivers big. Tried cachapa for the first time.. couldn't decide between the cheeses so I got one of each - mozzarella and fried cheese - with my chicken and avocado cachapa sandwiched between fresh corn cakes. This doesn't get enough love as the more popular Venezuelan snack arepa but should be on everyone's radar. Also tried the chicha, a thick sweet milky drink, and the tres leche cake. The cake was weak, but everything else was tasty and satisfying. The cachapa is my new love! read more

Ordered a Cachapa con pollo. I received this mashed up chicken with old cheese and it tastes horrible. I've had their food before but I have no idea what happened. Wasted $12. read more

Horrible service! The food is mediocre at its best, I recommend you to avoid this attempt of a restaurant.

The food was alright. The arepas are fried and didn't seem typical to Venezuelan arepas I've had in the past but it was a good quick stop for some tasty food! It's a very small interior and the presentation isn't amazing but the food was good enough. I would go here again on my own but I probably wouldn't recommend to anyone visiting from out of town as it isn't a special place and there isn't anything extraordinary about it. The juice was great! read more

Tu Cachapa - Reina Pepiada Cachapa - Venezuelan Near Me - New York, New York

Are you guys fucking stupid or what?!?! How the FUCK was there hair in my goddamned Chicken Patacon? There was a long black hair and then after that I started to dissect it. Found 4 more and they were all stuck to pieces of meat.. what the hell did you throw the chicken on the floor before you cooked it? I'll make sure to tell everyone about this SMH ‍. That's disgusting especially with a DEADLY virus going around. Whoever that was probably doesn't even wash they NASTY ass hair. I'm not paying you to get me sick you FUCKTARDS!!! read more

Apas is a horrible disease and all of the employees here have it. Be careful if you come to this location, because it's very likely that you might "Catch Apas." It can affect more than one people, which is why it's not uncommon - if you bring a friend - for "Tu" to "Cachapas" here. What to get: YoYo plantains by themselves with nothing on them. What else: YoYos with stuff on them. Ham and cheese is a bit better than beef/chicken. The service here ranges from nice, to some of the worst I've ever experienced. Let's start with the good. (1) Their Cachapas are delicious, especially when you get them on the sweet plantains, which makes them "Yoyos". Order a Yoyo and see what you think. Yum. A little messy and a little over the top and sickly for some people though. (2) The plantain bread for the Yoyo by itself is heavenly, I recommend getting an order of it with absolutely nothing on it - heated up of course - to see how good it is. The sweet one, not the savoury plantains. (3) They're open 24 hours, pretty much, with the odd closing in the middle of the night for cleaning. That is awesome and seals the 5 star rating. The bad stuff? Well they're so mean sometimes. The girl that told me they were closed for cleaning pretty much yelled at me. Then the next time I came in, a different girl was really nice, and sold me the Yoyo sweet plantains with nothing on them for just a few dollars. So far, so good. Then the next time I came in, they charged me almost twice as much for the Yoyo plantains by themselves, saying I had to "buy the sandwich even if I didn't want anything but the bread." I was really annoyed by this. But it got worse. The final time I came in - and I drove quite far out of my way for this - they said "sorry, we can't sell the Yoyo bread without putting stuff on it." I was like... what are you talking about. Just give me a sandwich with nothing on it, then. I'll pay full price. I just want the bread. Nope. They wouldn't do it. Why not? "Because we want to save the bread for people that are buying the sandwiches." What are you talking about? Give me a sandwich, and just put everything on the side then. "No, we don't serve it like that. If you want a YoYo, it has to have stuff on it." I couldn't believe this mindless, nonsensical position. It was like the Theater Of The Absurd. It was an affront to common sense. And yet, because the damn YoYos are so delicious (if a little sickly, and a little over the top), I'm still giving them 5 stars. Oh and we're gonna walk ahead, to get some Venezuelan food. You can "Cachaptous." read more

Usually order from this place but today I ordered a tacucho and they sent it burnt. Bummer because I was really looking forward for it. Over all it's a good place to get some food. read more

Tu Cachapa - Food - Venezuelan Near Me - New York, New York

I just ordered delivery from here for the first time and it was awful. Ham and cheese cachapa - ruined by ketchup, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes. Pernil patacone - tasted like tuna salad with bland plantain (a little salt would be nice guys). And of course the tres leches was spilled in the bag but at least that was good. Pineapple juice was good too but it could very well have been pineapple kool-aid (which I have no issue with). Soooo, all in all I'll never order from here again. We just threw out most of the food. Such a shame. read more

If I could give them a 0 I would. Today I order 3 chicken patty's(empanas) but I only received 2. I called and I tell the person who picked up that I only received two instead of three and her answer was in ("y que solución tú quieres?") "what solution do you want me to give u?" Like what's the attitude for if you ducked up my order and second of all that the right answer to your customers problem. Teach your employees some customer service. read more

This establishment is not authentic. The cachapa was pretty bad and they didn't have queso de mano which is unacceptable. The tequenos were mediocre at best. The pink sauce is also unauthentic and was just a mix of ketchup and mayo. They also made up other dishes like a yoyo which is not a thing. If you are Venezuelan you will be very disappointed read more

Food is good. Service is DISMAL. I will never order over the phone again. Second time in a row they forget the sauce on the side even if I tell them please don't forget..... I still wanted my food even without the sauce but I made sure to call back the girl who took my order. All she said was "ay ay ay"...... And I said "really, is that what you're going to say? Do you not care about your customers?"..... She hung up on me. Done read more

This spot is soo good. I ordered the fried cheese cachapas and I highly recommend it. It was so sweet and savory at the same time, and the lady who worked there was so nice. I preordered the food, and it was ready within a few minutes which was awesome! I'll definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu. read more

It's sad to say that I'll no longer be buying from this place. Earlier today 6/17/17 approximately 4/4:30 pm my mother went to buy serval orders of cachapa de pollo (chicken) and came out furious. My mother placed her order (walk-in) (cachapas with chicken) with the female who was taking orders. My mother noticed the guy (the cook) put red meat instead of chicken, so she told them that she ordered chicken not red meat. They (female cashier & Male cook) gave my mother a bad attitude about the order and telling her "No, you ordered red meat, not chicken." My mother told the guy "Sir, don't give me an attitude." I know what I ordered. To make this short, I really don't appreciate the negative attitude that my mother received today. I'm a loyal customer and love your food but when it comes to my mother, I don't play!!!! They are very lucky, that I didn't go back to the place with my mother to give them a piece of my mind. Now, I understand its hot back there especially having to cook but it doesn't give them (employees) a right to treat their customers the way they did to my mother. I hope management sees this post, and corrects / talk to their employees about keeping their cool especially when it's hot outside. I won't be returning, thanks to your employees! Have an awesome day. read more

Great My yo-yo was cooked to perfection!!! The jugo de chinola was great will reorder!!

Literally the best cachapa I've never had. Their cachapas are full of flavor, loaded and not messy. I tried their pork cachapa and I ate the whole thing. They are big so one is more than enough. read more

Excellent Venezuelan spot. 1) I usually got o Cachapas y Mas for Venezuelan cachapa. However, this place is near George Washington Bridge. Makes it very convenient to come by for me. I usually walk or run over the GW Bridge, so when I get hungry on the other side, I come here. 2) The cachapa is excellent. Get the shredded chicken. Plus the portions are large. It will fill you up. Love the hot sauce they use. 3) The price is very reasonable. read more

This is my go to spot! However, last year the food started changing starting with the yaroa. It used to be douced in pink sauce but now the chicken in the yaroa is just dry and hard to eat. The pink sauce helps but it really isn't enough. Like two days ago I got the yoyo (which I've gotten around four times now) and it wasn't cooked. The platano patties were soggy and just not cooked enough at all. read more

I've tried their pollo cachapas with the queso frito or mozzarella (recommend the queso frito) and it's a decent size and tasty for 8$ or so. They are usually great with delivery but lately their delivery is on the struggle bus and the staff over the phone is not helpful and has an attitude. Until they get this together I can't order from here. read more

Small establishment that sells a good variety of Venezuelan finger foods and dishes. I'd say the food is just okay, I think the quality has gone down over the years. I usually order for delivery but I came the other night to buy a few empanadas and tequeños (cheese sticks) and was disappointed. Everything was super greasy, the tequeños were very flaccid and the chicken inside the empanadas was not that great. As for the restaurant, there's not much space inside and it gets pretty packed late at night. The cachapas and the arepas have always been some favorites of mine but I haven't had them in a while. Based on my latest experience I don't think I'll be coming or ordering again any time soon. read more

Buy a yoyo. Eat it up. Every day you'll have good luck. Ok, I don't know about good luck but you'll definitely have a happy stomach. Two sweet plantain patties surrounding meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato: What's not to love? The pernil tacucho (roast pork burrito) is also one of my favorites. I must admit that their quality and customer service (for delivery orders) is inconsistent. Some nights you'll get a tasty meal in a timely manner, and other nights you'll wait two hours for a slapdash pile of nonsense. It's a bit of a crapshoot but most of the time it's good. read more

Yes! I'm a fan! I tried a Yoyo which is a sweet plantain sandwich with shredded beef, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo and a tiny piece of fried white cheese in the middle ( as a treat, I guess, lol ). The amount of meat in it was so much! I could barely finish it, lol. I had the Chicha ( fermented rice juice ), it was also delicious and filling. The guy asks you if you want ice in your juice which I think is very considerate. The food is typical of Maracaibo region in Venezuela with a few original modifications. The place is a bit dirty and plain looking, it needs a Maracucha woman's touch, lol. They have a special on Tuesdays before 6pm 2x1 Arepas or Patacones, there's a small sign inside. I will be coming back soon for either a Cachapa, Arepa, Tequeyoyo ( which I never had ) or a burger...Maracucho style! :) read more

This continues to be my favorite lunch spot near 181. Delicious, GF options, tons of variety, amazing passion fruit juice. Wish they offered rewards. read more

Usually everything is okay, other than them always forgetting their hot sauce, (it's delicious). Tonight I ordered food via GrubHub and noted special requests, no ketchup and please add a side of hot sauce. I even called the restaurant to make sure they noticed the note. The gentleman I spoke to was very nice and said he'd make sure they fulfilled my requests. My order came after about an hour - it was totally wrong, it just wasn't what I wanted. The same gentleman said he'd fix it and requested I sent back the food I didn't want. I waited about 40 minutes and got a new order, it was cold, and again, also incorrect. Extremely frustrating. read more

Came here a couple of times to grab a quick meal. Atmosphere: Small, slightly dumpy. More of a pickup than eat in joint. Food: Meh. First time, I ordered the cheese cachapa and tres leches cake. It was already sweet due to the corn, but add ketchup and mayo, and it's basically a savory dessert. It seemed pointless to have the cake afterwards, but I did anyway. It wasn't bad. Second time, I had the pernil patacon, and flan for dessert. The pernil was really dry and flavorless, and it was difficult getting it down without drinking something. I wasn't impressed at all. However, the sandwich was filling, so I didn't go to bed hungry. The flan was more cheeselike than custard in texture, and the bottom was burnt. I ended up trashing much of it. Upside is that they do have online ordering, so you can pick up your food without waiting around in the restaurant for it. From other reviews, I gather that Tu Cachapa is new...so I'll try them again to see if the quality of the food improves. read more

I eat here mostly when I'm working in the heights. The food is really good here and the place is clean. I love the cachapas here! The shredded chicken cachapa with everything on it is my favorite. The sweet corn cakes are amazing as the bread and the chicken is flavorful and cooked well. They have other street food and sandwiches here as well. The veggies on everything taste fresh. And the passion fruit juice here is good! The prices are average a sandwich here is about 7-8 dollars and the finger foods are between 1.50 - 2 dollars. This place is very small so I wouldnt recommend dining with a large group of people. Its more of a dine in because I can't wait to eat my food kind of place. The service is not bad here for the most part its just ordering your food then waiting. I never had anyone give me attitude or bad service. So to wrap this up, its a great place to eat some Venezuelan sandwiches and finger food in the heights. read more

If you've never had a capacha and are in the area, go here! Formerly the location of Cachapas y Mas (which I went to about year ago). This place still has tasty sandwiches, though a bit greasier. It's still a hole in the wall, but the decor is newer and cleaner than the former location. There are two side by side TVs on the wall ("seems redundant" my friend quipped). I got a yoyo which is a sandwich held together by two patties made of sweet plantains. I got the beef in it, which was shredded and delicious. Super tasty (because how could plantains and beef not be??) but not the absolute best yoyo I've ever had. read more

Wow. More like "(I'll take) Two Cachapas!" Yes the space is small, but it's so worth it. Will be coming back again soon. My boyfriend and I shared a queso frito cachapa and a pernil yoyo--both were amazing. read more

Ordered the steak Tacucho and it left me hungry. It was smaller then what a standard burrito should be. My son and would describe it more as an appetizer. And it was $7.50. It was also kind of chewy and very salty. Had a piece of tomato cut in 2 and a few pieces of lettuce. Overall I was disappointed. read more

Tu Cachapa - Steak Tacucho.... very small and salty - Venezuelan Near Me - New York, New York

This place is dirty with HORRIBLE customer service the guy that took my order was rude because I asked for my yo-yo's in a plate instead of aluminum foil, they're super messy so I don't know why they don't put it in a plate in the first place. So I ordered a palito de queso and he put 1 in a plate I'm like no it's just the yo-yo's and he's like "you're mad annoying, yo quiero salir de ti" like this isn't how you treat someone who always goes there and spends more than $20 worth of food. And to top everything off I ordered 2 juices and one of them had a COCKROACH in it and he tried to tell me it's from the Chinola WHEN CLEARLY THEY USE CANNED JUICE like come on he was so rude I will never spend another dollar there again read more

I usually get my cachapas from Patacon Pisao, but I happen to work by Tu Cachapa and was hoping that I found my new go to! Unfortunately, the food was just OK. I had the shredded chicken cachapa and the meat itself was so good, but they buried it in so much ketchup and sauce that I could barely taste it. I also purchased a beef empanada -- another fail. It was predominantly potato, I barely got any beef. Overall, I've had better and will probably try elsewhere. read more
