Patacon Pisao - Elmhurst

Great authentic Spanish food. If you want to try something different but delicious, this is the place ????. Eat in, delivery or take out... this restaurant has great delicious food.

Writing a restaurant review can be a two-edged sword. On one side, the focus should be on the delicious and flavorful food that keeps you coming back for more. In this review, the food stands out - the cachapas, patatacons, and drinks are the stars that kept me returning. However, the other side of the blade needs to be addressed. Every establishment requires a polite, respectful, and professional staff. Unfortunately, this was lacking during my visit last night. A pretty face at the counter should not be the only criteria for a successful business. It was disappointing to be completely disregarded by the staff while I waited to place my order. Despite being the only customer present, no one greeted me or acknowledged my presence until I finally spoke up. Even after ordering extra sauce and paying for it, I discovered upon returning home that it was missing from my order. This experience left a sour taste in my mouth, overshadowing the decent quality of the food. I may not be inclined to return due to this poor level of service. It also raises concerns about the business practices of the establishment, and I am unsure of what actions the Better Business Bureau might take in such cases.

They make good Patacon sandwich. I took out the pulled beef and it was okay.

Amazing the chicken is super flavorful and juicy and the green and pink-ish type sauce go amazing with the sandwich and I recommend adding a egg into the sandwich the whole thing is all around amazing I feel like the picture doesn?t do it justice butyou can see the pool of flavor juices on the bottom

The service at this restaurant was good and the food was average. It didn't quite compare to the best Venezuelan food in the area. I ordered the Patacon Llanero and found it to be just okay. The drinks were overly sweet, so much so that I had to ask for a second cup and dilute it with water to balance out the sweetness of the passion fruit juice.
