Patacon Pisao: Reviews & Ratings
My first time here and Im giving a 5 star rating! The food was delicious! It also was a lovely, clean environment!
Patacons are lights out. Got the beef one and it was amazing. The taqueyoyo was good too and came with an awesome cilantro sauce. Arepa was definitely not my favorite but you should be going for the patacons not arepas lol
The food is so good in this hidden gem! I recommend the grilled chicken its full of flavor, their cheese is fried to perfection and their yoyo sweet plantain base is boss! They perfected the plantain sandwiches . I got my Colombiana soda too and was set! Pic looks messy but best believe its packed with flavor! ...
Finally got to try this place!! Got the shredded beef patacon and added sweet plantains. It was great but I want to try it with more cheese They do give you one piece for free Yuca fries are excellent.
I did not know what to expect. My brother order a Cachapa for me. A crepe type, pita type bread made with corn and filled with lettuce and shredded beef that was soo tender and very juicy. The empanadas were good too.
The paradise for Venezuelan food lovers! Arepas, cachapas, patacones, yoyos, tacuchos, pepitos...so many items I want to tryI need more trips to exhaust the menu! ...
The cachapa and yoyo was so good!
First time here. The food is to die for I had a Patacon Paisa. I definitely recommend it. I have no complaints. Customer service was great. Friendly and attentive. I sat outside in this 90 degree weather. Which I enjoyed. Overall, it was truly a delicious Venezuelan meal.
