2ndt time visit to the mason Location on 01/08/2022 @ 1PM - My wife and I had lunch there this time we had the a beef empanada and a plantain and cheese empanada both were delightful. We then tried something called a Hairy Arrepa, which was a nightmare. Apparently one side of the Arrepa was charred burnt and the shredded beef inside cold and not good, my wife just left the entire hairy Arrepa plated in the basket it was served in; also it seem it had some sort of shredded cheese - did not have a good taste sort of sour bits of cheese. The stuffing tasted like a cold sour ropa vieja shredded beef. - This is why, I rated this an Arrepa nightmare - Hairy but awful. - Don't get me wrong the empanadas were great especially the one stuff with cheese and sweet plantains.

LarderRoom...Arepas! All the arepas! Stuffed with Venezuelan Chicken Salad!The Preppy Queen (Reina Pepiada):Shredded chicken salad mixed with chopped white onions, fresh cilantro, mashed avocado and mayo, and fresh sliced avocado!Also, try the Empanadas, Yuca Fries, Tostones & my favorite, the Tequenos. Yum.

Charming place with friendly staff and fantastic food. From the moment I walked in, everything smelled amazing. My first time and I tried the Bad Girl empanada. Can’t wait to return and work my way through the menu.

NOT A FOOD TRUCK! Sit down restaurant. Excellent experience! Service was great, and she food was even better! Go and get some interesting and different morsels! Have fun!
This place is amazing! Nearly everything on the menu is gluten free / friendly. I haven’t tried an empanada that wasn’t fantastic!!I’ve eaten delivery from this restaurant many times and will continue to frequent the establishment!

I feel in love with Venezuelan food on a mission trip to Caracas. This place is the real deal.

Tried this for the first time as a party of 2. They were out of the tequenos and were making the chimichurri. We tried a Carne Mechada empanada, Hairy (beef) and Blondie (chicken) arepa, along with the finger food platter (the tequenos were substituted with fried plantains). Food was good, service was ok. Empanada was great. I would have liked a little more moisture with the Blondie arepa...it was a little dry. The Hairy arepa was a good mixture. Place seemed clean with a nice outdoor seating area.

Yay tried something new and we both loved it. This is perfect example of the benefits of looking at Yelp reviews. Definitely will come back and can highly recommend. Great first impression. They have a food truck and a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. We went the their cafe in the heart of Mason. The lady that took our order was friendly and welcoming. This was completely new to us but ordered based on the reviews and pics. We both ordered a hairy arepna ... name was off putting but dont let that scare you. It was amazing. spreaded tender beef that had been slow roasted in absolute deliciousness. So tender and flavorful. It also had a mild white cheese and wrapped in bread. Let's chat about the bread .. different than anything I'd ever had .. it wasnt a tortilla or cornbread.. it was very soft made from white corn. texture also different but not in a bad way. They had it wrapped it foil which made it easy to handle and not messy. I hate when what I eat falls apart and drips all over. All the sauces on the side were good. There was a red sauce which was spicy. We liked them all. My husband also got an empanada .. called Bad Girl .. it was shredded chicken with onions and sauce. It also tasted slow roasted in deliciousness. The outside was crispy. He gave me a few bites it was another winner. Only problem is choosing what to get next time. My husband was surprised I liked both because I am not a fan of meat .. but this was fantastic. You have to try this and thank me later.
