    Empanadas. 1 potato (maybe left) and 1 pabellon (shredded beef, plantain, black beans).
    Ben T.

    Their menu and pictures of food on their tv screen make all their food look amazing. And everything I ate tasted was amazing as it looked. Currently my favorite Latin style food in Utah. Most places are not busy on Sundays or are closed all together. This place was almost all filled. I was lucky to get a table to dine-in. Food did not take too long. Staff is nice & professional. Clean bathroom.

    So as you walk in it is a different atmosphere here. You are greeted very friendly hostesses. You head to the counter to order from the menus. Menus could be better but it works. You can hear the cooks back in the back just talking and being loud. You get the authentic feel here. There might be language barrier when ordering for sure. The place seems to be a little spendy for sure. My kids ordered the burgers and I'm not sure this what they are expecting like a Mx Donald's burger. I ordered the hot dog and some empanadas. I know the Mexican empanadas are amazing never had Venezuela food. So here we go, some times you have to leave comfort food and try something new. The soft drinks machine wasn't working this day so very limited on drinks today. Food was going ok till the big hair in our food!!! That's what shit it down. Yes they made a new burger to go. But a refund should've been given. I know they don't want to loose profit. But 70.00 dollars down the drain. Everyone was grossed out. Will I come back probably not. Empanadas were ok, it just didn't go well after the hair. Everything was just not fine. You just lose your appetite after that. Sorry for the review. But don't waste your time. I'm don't with this place.

    The staff here are very friendly! We got to try their empanadas (one with beef, one with potato). They were pretty basic. They were also piping hot when we got them, so take caution! My wife really liked the potato one, which I thought was a little plain. It's basically a fried batter with a filling that tastes like french fries, but had more of the consistency of cheesey mashed potatoes. The beef one was decent... Hard to describe it... But the fried batter just gave it that amazing fried, "comfort food" feel. They have a great variety of foods to try with their own flare to it (hamburgers, hot dogs, pastelitos, sandwiches, etc.). If you're a fan of Venezuelan food, you should check this place out.

    My husband lived in Venezuela for a time so our whole family has become big fans of good Venezuelan food. Three days ago, he pulled into our garage with a huge smile on his face. There is a new Venezuelan place over by the Lehi Maceys! Two days later we tried it. We had the arepas pabellón, empanadas (chicken, ground beef, and pabellón), and tequeños. The arepas pabellón were filled with large portions of seasoned carne mechada (tender, shredded beef), black beans, plantains and salty cheese. The empanadas were made with the same dough as the arepas and fried with their filling inside. The tequeños were a slightly sweet, crisp and flaky pastry full of cheese. All had ample sides of really-fantastic guasacaca (an avocado-type salsa). We finished it off with some Frescolita (reminds me of red cream soda). It was prepared fresh and we enjoyed everything we ate. Our son's favorite empanada was the chicken (pollo). The portions were large and we were full and happy by the time we were done eating. The carne mechada was a bit on the salty side (especially when paired with the salty cheese). Otherwise, everything was fantastic! The owners were friendly and generous. The shop had a warm and inviting vibe. They advertise live music and karaoke nights. The food has a few regional dishes from around Maracaibo, so we are eager to go back and try some of them as well.

    The best soup ever!!!!! Thank you great customer service, clean restaurant and wonderful food

    The food is absolutely amazing! If you're looking for official Venezuelan food then this is where you need to be. Plus they are open on Sunday's!! Food does take quite a while to come out based on the few times I've been so far, but that's coo with me.

    the empanadas were very good! the Pabellon Arepa was excellent, it's like a salad cross potato cheese bread with pulled pork and eggs! the Patacon, was a mix of ham, beef and chicken. do try to limit on 2 proteins, three was too much. everything were excellent, quick order to table, very little wait time. will absolutely go back!

    I loved Zaperoco. Maybe the best empanada shells I've had. I tried just about everything on the menu and will definitely be back. I love how authentic and fresh everything is. There some tastes that don't align with my preference but that's not a reason I would mark it down. This is a quality shop for people that love Venezuelan food or want to try something different!

    Venezuela Mia - Fried tostones

    We stopped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday. There was one other table besides our group. Service…read morewas good. They offer menus in Spanish and English. Fairly basic on the inside with dark wooden tables and not much light. That said it was cozy and we were very comfortable. The meals are very large. My wife ordered Picada Reina Lucero, which had several varieties of meat, white cheese, tartar sauce on top and two sides of other sauces, one a chunky green sauce and a smooth white sauce that mostly tasted like salty butter. The meat was piled on top of fried arepas. My BIL ordered a half chicken and an empanada with pork. The empanada was large and the pork filling was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I ordered the De La Casa Arepones with shredded beef. Ham, cheese and sauce were served along with the delicious shredded beef. This is the only item we ordered that could be considered as a single serving, but even at that it was a lot of food. If I'm in the area I will not hesitate to stop in again and explore more of their menu.

    They don't speak English here just a heads up. Found this place on a whim after a concert in Sandy,…read moreis open late til 11. It was pretty busy for a Sunday night. One word.... Cachapa!!!! They are huge, one could feed 3 people. I had the chriozo, but it was like hillshire smoked sausage. I would say get the chicken with smoked meats and fried pork. Pass on the Tostones, they were not fried, they were baked and very dry so pass on those. Place has a cool vibe, and decor. You can bring a marker and write on the wall.
