How many times do you eat in a day? Venezuelans have 3 main meals: a large breakfast, a large dinner (around noon) and a light supper in the evening. Their food is influenced by European, West African and Native American traditions. Their social culture is very much like Asian cultures - collaborative, community based and collectivist. So if you visit someone in Venezuela they will feed you! Cachapas is one of their most popular dishes and my favorite too. It is a thick, tasty pancakes made from maize (sweetcorn) and served with a slab of white cheese called “queso de mano”, topped with lashing of margarine. The sweetness of the maize and the creaminess of the cheese paired. Add a bit of pulled pork or shredded beef and it provides an explosion of flavors from the texture and saltiness of the meat. Cachapas in Venezuela’s culinary history dates back to pre-Colombian times. The indigenous people used stone pestles to grind corn and cook it on clay budares flat griddle plates cachapa-style. Originally only made by the locals in the state of Bolivar, you can now enjoy it right here at Budare’s on Burnet. It was lovely to meet Carmen at Budare’s. They have been serving Authentic Venezuelan food in Austin for several years now. They were the first Venezuelan food truck in Austin and they paved the path for others to open as well. We can delightfully say we have added another Venezuelan favorite to our list alongside @auroravenezuelanfood

Hands down the best Venezuelan spot I've tried anywhere in the U.S. I tried the cachapa, beef and plantain arepa, and empanada with plantains and beef and they were each super good. The arepa had the best crunchy texture I've had on any arepa. The woman running the truck, Carmen, was super amazing and full of passion for her food. The quality of the food reflects her passion. Highly recommend if you're in Austin

It was really good ! I got a pabellón bowl, and my boyfriend the cachapa with Shredded Chicken with runny egg and friend plantains. It was delicious. My boyfriend really loved the cachapa so much it became his favorite. We will come back. The cilantro sauce was a must, and it was tasty. It was also very affordable and the amount was very reasonable

Loved the food. I have always loved Venezuelan food, so it's so great to find a great place in Austin. This trailer is part of a cool trailer park on Burnet Rd. Go early as they run out of stuff but regardless it's all good. Favorite treat is the passion fruit juice. Fantastic cachapa.

Really yummy empanadas and cheese sticks! Made fresh and hot! The sauce goes very well with the cheese sticks too. It’s my first time trying out Venezuelan cuisine and I must say I love it! The owners are very friendly too :)
