We first experienced Four Brothers Venezuelan through a catering order at our company that had recently got an office space above the fare ground location.
First off, typically when we go out to eat we gravitate towards American food, so we didn’t have much experience when it came to Venezuelan food and/or fully know what we were about to dig our teeth into. We’ve only had arepas once before Four Brothers at a place in Colorado, but we weren’t blown away, so we were curious how we’d like the cuisine.
The catering order was a build your own arepa’s bar. They brought up the order right on time inside a warming cabinet so the food stayed hot and fresh and then displayed it out so you could walk the line creating an arepa of wonder and add the sides your heart desired!
We were SO GLAD that we gave Venezuelan food in general another chance because daaammnnnn we didn’t realize HOW good Venezuelan food could be when the restaurant you order from home makes the arepas, along with their sauces and meats.
The arepas were the perfect size to utilize as either a sandwich or even an open faced sandwich, kinda like a tostada style! They were dense and thick so you could load them up with all the goodies!
The catering order came with pulled pork (rumbera), catira (chicken), fresh arepas, some fluffy perfectly cooked basmati rice, fresh cabbage/spinach, sofrito black beans, plantains, yucca fries, queso fresco, Venezuelan cream (like a crema or sour cream), pico de gallo, and the most flavor sauces ever: avocado and a garlic sauce!
Lets just start by saying we are MEAT lovers and while the meats were both super delicious, the black beans made us stop chewing to take a moment to appreciate how much flavor was packed in what we thought would be “just” a side dish. That was NOT the case! Those alone could be a standout main arepa topping!
Even the plantains… WOW! In the past I’ve never been a plantain lover because I find them to be sopping in oil, soggy and underwhelming. Let’s just say thanks to Four Brothers I’ve been converted! I loved them so much I’m wondering how I can eat plantains and sofrito black beans everyday! The plantains were soft yet dense, savory yet a mild sweetness that came though at the end. OOMMGG! Who knew?!
The yucca fries were like the perfect French fry soft on the inside and a crispy outside.
The sauces…. Wow…. The garlic sauce… reminded me of a cilantro garlic sauce, but way better!! It was sooo flavorful and creamy and while the garlic was there it didn’t burn your tongue! I could drink it!
We had taken some leftovers home and we didn’t think the food would develop even more flavor the next day, especially the chicken! The air fryer was perfect to reheat the plantains and yucca fries and it was so wonderful even being able to create our own little bowls at the house… ummm they’d be great for meal prep for the week! Wink wink!
Looking at their regular menu we know that we will HAVE TO experience them again! They have some crispy looking cheese and even mini arepa varieties which look incredible so you can feel responsible while also trying a variety!
Four brothers completely changed our view on Venezuelan food! Seriously they are a flavor you will never forget and you might even become addicted to a new cuisine you never even thought about!
You MUST try them, whether you visit one of their locations or get a catering order for your family or heck meal prep for the week! Thank you for providing an incredible catering experience and some of the best flavorful food we’ve had!

My husband and I tried Four Brothers at Make Ready Market Food Hall! The service was quick and easy. We got the signature "Four Brothers Arepas". Soooo good! The chicken was so seasoned and the furthest thing from dry! Overall just a really good Arepa, not too over the top but just the right amount of everything! Definitely made a mess eating these but totally worth it!
Abubu A.
It was okay. I liked some and didn't like others. The empanadas were the best and liked the yucca fries for 6-7 different menu items but chicken bowl was decent too. I think what I didn't like wasn't them, it was more the kind of food, but it was different but decent. Empanadas are very good, that's what I'd highly recommend

Tried out their location at The Fareground in the One Eleven Congress Building, and the food was amazing! I ordered the Tequeños (Venezuelan cheese sticks), and a beef fried Arepa. I would order both dishes again, and can't wait to try some of their other options. If you're looking for something other than tacos, give this place a try!!

Stopped in the truck lot for a quick bite to eat before a night on Rainey. My friend ordered the Arepa and said it was fabulous. One of the best she's had. I ordered the chicken bowl. It was ok - just was not flavorful enough for me. The man working the truck was very nice but we had several miscommunications in the ordering process and we hadn't had any drinks yet. I'd stop here again.

Really good Venezuelan food! I was really pleasantly surprised at how delicious this food truck was. I've tried some of the others on Rainey, and they were okay. This one was in a league of its own. My group shared some of the empanadas and cachapas. Everything I tried was super delicious. I liked the cheese cachapas more than I liked the cheese empanada. The garlic sauce with the empanadas was delicious. Service was fast and friendly and talked us through the most popular items. I will definitely be back next time I'm hungry on Rainey.

food was absolutely amazing. owner/operator came over and asked if we would like to try some desserts free of charge. they were super nice and asked about how the food was, which was fantastic. the pulled pork arepas were super tender and the sauce was great. the tres leches was some of the best i've had Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

This place is soo good Had the pork n cheese Cachapa. Fantastic! This location is on Rainy street.

I find this business to be unethical. Ordered online (21st street location) only to find out that the truck is no longer at that location despite transaction going through successfully. Contacted the business through phone several times (voice box is full and can't leave message) and email (couple of times but no response). It's been a couple of weeks and still waiting to hear back. Be careful and double check before ordering.
Tried the pork arepa for the first time here - it was okay. The service is also quick

The pulled pork arepa was so good! Didn't wait too long for my order. Definitely one of the food trucks I'll look for when I visit Austin

Depends on audience...GRINGO REVIEW COMING IN HOT! First, if you care about South American cuisine go to Casa Colombia. It's practically walking distance or a $5 Uber and will blow the tits off anything on the east side. Second, if you are a white dude trying to fit in on Rainey after your clan meeting at Unbarlievable, then you can check into Foursquare and show your following that you are worldly. This is what you might call a mondo mexican american fusion joint. They take these little latin american pancakes and wrap all these things that you love (shredded chicken, cheese, and plantains cause cubans are okay now because Russia is totally fine with the GOP associated with Trump, amiright?). They serve it burger style. If you don't have an erection right now, then just put your hood back on and cut a mouth hole before you eat it. It's epic...for American-Mexican-Fusion. Texas America! America Texas! Dodge Truck Month! Tell your friends!

Seeing construction workers having lunch at this food truck, we figured the price would be right & the food cooked well. We ordered chicken empanadas & a chicken bowl, both being freshly cooked & the latter being presented beautifully with avocado, plantain, black beans, rice & more. Both were filling, seasoned perfectly, & went down well with a bottle of Coke. Make sure to note that the printed price on the menu board changes when white chalk-written prices are displayed.

What a find. After skipping around Rainey and a lil hungry we run into this awesome place. What turned into let's try something. Ended up in let's keep trying things. The quesadilla (cachapa) was absolutely delicious. The empanadas were really good and packed with meat. The loaded yucca fries. Holy crap. I could not stop eating those. Awesome place. Great food. Would def go again and again. Thanks y'all.
