Four Brothers

Delicious, unique option currently in the Fairgrounds food court downtown. Ordered the Four Brothers Arepas with shredded chicken, which was hearty and bursting with flavor we also ordered the Chicken Avocado Salad Arepas which was incredibly fresh tasting and personally my favorite. The service was pretty slow, about 20 minutes wait for 2 small items. There were a few people in line before us, but all smaller orders too, but at least it was fresh then. Prices are typical for Austin, food was great but truly small portions for the price.

Why doesn't this have 5 stars!???This meal was AMAZING. We got two of the chefs favorite arepas and it was so delicious!! I was a bit skeptical choosing arepas because at the last place I went to they were a little bland, but NOT here! Every bite was FULL OF FLAVOR.- The shredded chicken arepa came with cheese, sweet plantains, avocado sauce & garlic sauce. - The shredded beef "Pabellon" one came with beef, black beans, sweet plantains, queso frito, avocado sauce and garlic sauce. Both phenomenal. So juicy and everything came together perfectly! Love the plantains in them too, my favorite. My only suggestion is I would LOVE if their juices were fresh and I really wanted to try the passion fruit one (until I realized it wasn't fresh). I would go back here in a heartbeat. In fact craving it already! Can't wait to try more of their menu. Location in Fareground is great and they validate parking for 90 mins.

I was trying something from each stall at Fareground on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I ordered the Tequenos and enjoyed each bite. They have a great menu, but because I was pretty much trying each stall, I didn't want much. They were delicious and I'd definitely try other things on their menu. The service was great, made to order and the people were great!

This place is nicely tucked away in the Faregrounds park. The food is fresh and amazing! Love to try new foods. It is Venezuelan food so lots of beans and textures of other foods. I had the pork which melted in my mouth. The ambience is set up like a food court inside, so it's nice but not romantic. Truly a fun area. Service was a bit slow BUT the food is made to order fresh so very worth the wait!

Food: This was my first visit, but absolutely NOT the last. This is the only establishment that has added corn to cornbread in a way that is acceptable. I ordered the Cachapa Venezuelan Sweet Cornbread Cake and added Shredded Chicken. I also ordered a Mango Lemonade for the drink.As the name suggests, my Cachapa was more sweet than savory which is right up my alley. The flavor of the chicken went so well with the cornbread. The fried cheese inside is very thick, keeping it inside the Cachapa was a challenge. A challenge that I would take again! I loved it and it was huge so I had some the next day as well. Service + Location: Four Brothers is located inside the Fair Grounds building. There is parking attached to the building which any of the restaurants inside can validate with purchase, so don't forget to grab a receipt here. My Cachapa came out quickly, I received a text that my meal was ready and a smile from the server there. Ambiance: Busy. There's several restaurants in the same vicinity. It's more of a mall food court without the mall. Not intimate.

Service was nice and the food came out fast. Unfortunately, there was a chicken bone in my arepa.... I was excited for a Venezuelan option downtown, but honestly won't be back.

We first experienced Four Brothers Venezuelan through a catering order at our company that had recently got an office space above the fare ground location. First off, typically when we go out to eat we gravitate towards American food, so we didn't have much experience when it came to Venezuelan food and/or fully know what we were about to dig our teeth into. We've only had arepas once before Four Brothers at a place in Colorado, but we weren't blown away, so we were curious how we'd like the cuisine.The catering order was a build your own arepa's bar. They brought up the order right on time inside a warming cabinet so the food stayed hot and fresh and then displayed it out so you could walk the line creating an arepa of wonder and add the sides your heart desired!We were SO GLAD that we gave Venezuelan food in general another chance because daaammnnnn we didn't realize HOW good Venezuelan food could be when the restaurant you order from home makes the arepas, along with their sauces and meats. The arepas were the perfect size to utilize as either a sandwich or even an open faced sandwich, kinda like a tostada style! They were dense and thick so you could load them up with all the goodies!The catering order came with pulled pork (rumbera), catira (chicken), fresh arepas, some fluffy perfectly cooked basmati rice, fresh cabbage/spinach, sofrito black beans, plantains, yucca fries, queso fresco, Venezuelan cream (like a crema or sour cream), pico de gallo, and the most flavor sauces ever: avocado and a garlic sauce! Lets just start by saying we are MEAT lovers and while the meats were both super delicious, the black beans made us stop chewing to take a moment to appreciate how much flavor was packed in what we thought would be "just" a side dish. That was NOT the case! Those alone could be a standout main arepa topping! Even the plantains... WOW! In the past I've never been a plantain lover because I find them to be sopping in oil, soggy and underwhelming. Let's just say thanks to Four Brothers I've been converted! I loved them so much I'm wondering how I can eat plantains and sofrito black beans everyday! The plantains were soft yet dense, savory yet a mild sweetness that came though at the end. OOMMGG! Who knew?!The yucca fries were like the perfect French fry soft on the inside and a crispy outside. The sauces.... Wow.... The garlic sauce... reminded me of a cilantro garlic sauce, but way better!! It was sooo flavorful and creamy and while the garlic was there it didn't burn your tongue! I could drink it!We had taken some leftovers home and we didn't think the food would develop even more flavor the next day, especially the chicken! The air fryer was perfect to reheat the plantains and yucca fries and it was so wonderful even being able to create our own little bowls at the house... ummm they'd be great for meal prep for the week! Wink wink!Looking at their regular menu we know that we will HAVE TO experience them again! They have some crispy looking cheese and even mini arepa varieties which look incredible so you can feel responsible while also trying a variety! Four brothers completely changed our view on Venezuelan food! Seriously they are a flavor you will never forget and you might even become addicted to a new cuisine you never even thought about! You MUST try them, whether you visit one of their locations or get a catering order for your family or heck meal prep for the week! Thank you for providing an incredible catering experience and some of the best flavorful food we've had!

ordered pork bowls through postmates and our bowls were not good. pork belly bites were all fat yet still very dry, pulled pork was good, plantains were great, fried cheese was very rubbery and tasted fishy, arepa strips were not good

Currently in the hospital with food poisoning from this restaurant :)Their catering made me violently ill day 1/3. I will be so sad if I miss race weekend with food poisoning ... expensive tickets just to get sick from the foodDo not order the pork here. It might put you in the hospital, $15 meal cost me over $2000

Service-BadFood-okayAmbiance-Place is a food court.Management needs a better system for giving out food. We got text after 20 mins of waiting, only to be told someone else picked up our food! How can someone not know what food they ordered since we ordered three items. We had to wait another 20 mins. There were no apologies from the staff. I would show you food if I had any. I'm still waiting. Too bad, I was looking forward to this place since it sounded unique.Update: don't get the arepa...very dry. Shredded pork was on the salty side; and shredded beef was bland.
