Venezuelan Restaurants near Sandy Springs, GA

“Run here fast!!!! Authentic Latin dishes, fresh and hot. Great papusas, excellent tequenos, delicious sauce and more on the menu I haven't tried yet. I love Latin food Venezuelan, Salvadoran, Mexican etc. Hidden gem inside Canceria Los Pinos. I will definitely returen...reasonable “

“Went here for the first time yesterday and the sandwich is delicious! Great size and the truffle fries were really good too. I love the atmosphere and signage they have inside the restaurant. The woman Saimary who took my order was very kind friendly and helpful. Will be back again very soon“

“My first time, I bought the Monday combo, a combo at a good price, the burgers were very tasty (the meat, the bread, etc.) also some churros with dulce de leche and condensed milk, these were a little thin but they were good. Now! I have chosen not to order patacones anywhere because the only thing they add is a lot of meat and sauces and it becomes patacon with only meat. And well, the real Venezuelan patacon takes more than that, however, I decided to give Pico e'Gallo a try since I am a fan of patacons, this time I ordered a gratin yellow plantain patacon with a few pieces of bacon on top, (another attempt failed) the flavor was not bad, I noticed in my patacon that it was only the meat and the pico e' gallo and the yellow banana was very thin and you couldn't taste the banana. That's all.Actually, I would like to eat a patacon on the street with meat, boiled egg, bacon, ham, cheese and the respective sauce with the vegetables (lettuce and tomato). Maybe I'm a little strict, and that's why I'll continue eating homemade patacones.OTHERWISE! BELIEVE ME EVERYTHING WAS VERY TASTY. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 100% IF YOU ARE NOT STRICT LIKE ME?.Sorry for not uploading a photo?. The food has good presentation.“

“So much better than the decor suggests.This is hidden in a little run down strip mall on Buford highway. The inside looks like a fast food restaurant where the colors are a little too bold, the decor is utilitarian in the surfaces look like they're easy to clean rather than decorative. There's a counter with a big display menu, like a cheap fast food restaurant. It is so misleading.I had a meal called Mini Picanha Churrasco. I got it with the side of coleslaw, yucca fries and paid extra for some arepas. I'm pretty picky about my coleslaw and this was a good flavor but I prefer it less soupy. Additionally, the yucca fries were, well, yucca fries and nothing incredibly remarkable about that.The steak was unexpectedly good. Probably the most delicious $20 steak meal that I can think of. It was tender, medium rare and char-grilled. It came with some chimichurri sauce and sour cream.The arepas were also unexpectedly great. First of all they're dairy-free and gluten-free. They have a lightly crispy outside and a moist spongy inside that breathes a little steam when bit into them.Here's a couple of tips. First, you can take your food to the tea room next door where it is a much nicer dining experience. They ask that you support them too. They have great tea. Second, it takes about 15 minutes to make the arepas, so you need a little time to eat here.I did not have any trouble putting together a delicious meal without dairy, gluten, or nuts. The gals at the counter didn't understand much English but were really helpful. They pointed out that the sauces on the table were mayonnaise-based and without dairy.My experience was a nice surprise in many ways. It's not the place for a first date, but it's a fun place to go anytime after the third date.Vegetarian options: Section with vegan and vegetarian arepas.Dietary restrictions: Easy to get a gluten and dairy free meal. These arepas have no dairy and are delicious.“

“Good arepas in Plaza Fiesta.I stopped here because I love the Venezuelan arepas and service at their location in the strip mall on Buford highway. I've come here several times when stopping in the mall.Here, the food is comparable to the strip mall location. Everything I've tried has been good. Recently, I had their Reina Pepiada, which is an arepa stuffed with chicken salad. It has avocado mayo with green peas. It is moist, unusual, and tasty. They have a wide selection of sauces.It is easy to eat here while avoiding gluten and dairy. The arepas are stuffed like a pita sandwich. However, they only have corn, oil, salt and water in the recipe.The service is friendly but there always seems to be a line. Additionally, the food takes a while.There is a small dining area with 2 tables that have always been busy. I end up eating in the food court where, on my last visit, there was a pigeon. They also have some outside tables for nice days.Dietary restrictions: Easy to order and avoid gluten, dairy, and nuts. The large arepas are like a pita sandwich but only contain corn, oil and salt.“

“First time visit due to the reviews. Food was very good. Had empanadas and arepas and shrimp tacos. However, food is way overpriced. Crazy how people capitalize off the perception that Americans are rich so we'll just price gauge them. Also, one of the reviews mentioned the arepa being served w shredded cheese fresca. I happen to agree that arepas are typically served with melted cheese and not shredded cheese. It was mozzarella that was used but it was cold and plentiful. I just asked them to microwave it to melt it and they were happy to do so. It was delish warm and gooey cheese. I live super close but prob wont go bc its just too expensive for the amt of food u get. Perhaps go during arepa bogo half off specials which would help make it a better value.“
