After being in the area 3 weeks straight recently, 2 nights before I was going home I came across this place. The food was so good the 1st night, I ordered Andy's again the next night just to try some other items off the menu.
I can't say I have any idea as to how Venezuelan food should be having never tried it but I can speak to what good food is for me. And this place rocks!
Ordered delivery both times, 3 or 4 things each time. With a 10-20 min delivery time from pickup everything I ordered was still warm and crispy which is always a huge plus.
I can't even say what my favorite thing was, but I enjoyed everything I tried.
I will say, the only thing I missed was a little spice. The flavors were great, fresh. But I guess I am so used to TexMex where you have salsa on the table if you want to feel a little burn.
It didn't ruin my meals by any means I just made sure to tell my coworkers the next day that they MUST try the place ASAP, none had ever heard of it, but to sneak a little bottle of Chalula in if they dine in. 😉
1st night I tried the Chachapa with chicken, A Venezuelan Empanada and Guava Tequenos. Chachapa was huge and I enjoyed it, but loved those Tequenos (careful biting into them, I ended up with guava jelly all over my glasses on the 1st one) and the Empanada.
2nd night I decided to give Andy's Favorite Arepa a try. Between the Arepa and the Chachapa, I definitely liked the Arepa more. I think it was the addition of pico and the absence of plantains (I like them, but a little sweet for me in a savory dish).
I also decided to try the Columbian Empanadas. Different flavor, texture and size from the Venezuelan Empanada but equally good. The Cachito was tasty, reminded me of the Klobasneks you get at the Kolache shops back home. And lastly, the Churros. They were little mini Churros which was fabulous. Crispy and coated in cinnamon and sugar.
Overall very very happy with everything I tried and if I get back to the area I will 100% try more items.
