I love Venezuelan Food and I'm so happy that they have this in Hawaii. The food is sooo ONO! Arepas and Empenadas! I bought my Mom her favorite cheese and bean arepas and the next day she went back because she loved it so much! I think they should open up a restaurant in Wahiawa!

We’ve been coming to O’ahu often, we didn’t know anything about this place. Some family members recommended them. No regret. The patacon “beast”, is the best. The beef arepa so delicious, beef plate with sweet plantains are delish. Four days in town, 3 visits to try something new ever time.

I have never had Venezuelan food. It was my first time. I got their empandas and it was absolutely delicious. The owners are super nice. They suggested the pabellion which is a mix of everything. It was absolutely delicious. I have tried the arepas too super tasty. I dont know how they make their pink sauce but its my favorite. Also if you like fries you should get the casava with steak. Its absolutely delicious. Everytime we take our friends here they always say how good it is. This place makes me crave plantains all the time now. Definitely give this a try. Its definitely a jem everyone should try.

Overdue update (1month old): still killing it. Sweet customer service. Wish it was open for lunch but can't rightfully ding it for a business decision that helps keep the truck doing what it do. Cooooooorrn sauce!!!! --- Tostones were done differently than I'm used to, but still good. Sauces were nice, love the corn. Empanadas were big, best eaten fresh. Grease was substantial, but the best drinking food ever. Cutest sit down area of any food truck I've ever been to on island. So Charming! Park on Street, and stop off here. Or park in the Whole Foods parking structure and walk a block over, it's next to Lin's. Food truck is open evenings, 5 to 9 daily, as of this writing. Believe it or not, this small food truck accepts credit cards! See the menu picture for what they have to offer, it is pretty amazing. Worth it and will return.

Delicious and unique flavors! Beware of the fiego sauce: Even my husband, who loves hot foods, mixed it with the house sauce. Prices are reasonable. Portions are generous. We'll be back.

This place was amazing! The menu isn't vast, but the dishes were amazing! The seasoning on the beef is top notch. Also, the sauces are so good! Try them all! We will definitely be back here soon!

Service was polite and friendly. They have malta, yucca fries, tostones, arepas, empanadas yum!! What really makes their food yummy are the various sauces they have on the side you can use, so sauce away! Got the steak arepa, which comes with a small salad. It was meaty and with the fuego and house sauce, had a kick! They have late hours...will be back to try other items on the menu. Easy parking and a nice covered outdoor bench seating area.

Venezuelan food was awesome! So good we came back for more again the next day and then enjoyed leftovers on day #3. Also loved the covered outdoor seating which protects diners from sun, wind and rain, and the easy parking. But the tent blocks the view of your truck from the street, and so you have this GREAT location but people dont know you are there! You should put a sign ("Venezuelan Food") on the outside of the tent facing the pay lot and approaching street traffic so people can see you. People are ono to try a new restaurant concept. I think you would triple your business with this simple improvement to better your visibility.

I'm from Orlando and have been here for 2 years, finally found an Arepa place! Tastes like home. If you are looking for this type of food come here! The cheese empanadas are delicious!
