???????? This place truly has the authentic flavor of Venezuela! I had a hamburger and a “pepito,” and both were absolutely delicious. We first sat outside and then moved inside—both areas were very nice. The service was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this food truck/restaurant! ???????? ¡Este lugar realmente tiene el auténtico sabor de Venezuela! Probé una hamburguesa y un “pepito”, y ambos estaban deliciosos.
