Pepitazo

Pardon my French, but... Holy sh*t! I was craving Venezuelan food... and a burger... so I decided to combine the cravings. Normally, when I get Venezuelan food, I'm too drawn to the arepas, empanadas, and cachapas to get something like a burger. I've seen several Venezuelan restaurants with burger options I've wanted to try, but like I said, normally, I go traditional. However, today was the day I decided to finally do it! I opened up UberEats and... what is that? A Teque Burger? Could it be??? Yes! The "bun" is tequeños! Immediately, I knew I had to order one of these. I went with no bacon today and chose cheese sauce as well as house sauce. The description didn't say whether or not it came with fries, so when I saw the temptingly priced $2.99 french fry option, I threw them in my cart. I can't speak on ambiance because I ordered UberEats, but service was quick to pack up my order. My food arrived hot and fresh, just minutes after I made it home from the gym! Perfect. The verdict?As you can tell by the excitement of my review: a huge success! The Teque Burger was grilled to perfection. The tequeno bun was mind blowing. The whole thing was absolutely delicious. I cut my burger in half to save the other half for later. As I ate my burger and devoured the meat, there was still tequeño bun overhang for me to dip into the sauces. They gave me ample garlic sauces which was yummy (always one of my favorites), as well as an orange sauce that I couldn't quite place whether it was house sauce, cheese sauce (it didn't taste like cheese), or their "special ketchup sauce" (is this the same as house sauce? Or is house sauce the garlic sauce? Or is it its own thing? So many questions!). Whatever it was was great. The fries were delicious too! Can't wait to try the pepitos next! I'll be bringing my boyfriend in soon (he's from Venezuela), but he may only be able to eat fries because he doesn't eat meat. Hopefully you get some vegetarian or seafood options in soon... or perhaps I missed them. ¡Muchas gracias!

Food here was very hot and tasty. I went here for dinner w/ a coworker while in Atlanta on a business trip. Would like to try again when back in Georgia.

We stopped today, for the first time, because of the very positive reports on Yelp. We were not disappointed! Our meals were both more than we could eat, so we brought half of our orders hovering for dinner tonight. The dishes were light and delicious. There were correct comments about the food not being greasy. There were also correct comments about the fries being excellent. We will be back!

Nestled in a small strip mall on Buford Highway, Pepitazo shines as a remarkable Venezuelan restaurant. What makes this place even more impressive is its origin story--founded by two brothers in the midst of the pandemic, their passion and determination have brought a culinary gem to life.The restaurant's trendy and cozy setting in the strip mall exuded a sense of comfort. The dedication of the two brothers who opened the restaurant during such challenging times was palpable in every detail.The star of the show at Pepitazo were their mouthwatering open-faced sandwiches. We had the pleasure of savoring their renowned California and Pepitazo sandwiches, and they truly exceeded our expectations. Each bite was a burst of flavors, expertly crafted with a generous array of ingredients that made for a tantalizing experience. Pepitazo's distinctive Venezuelan-American fusion cuisine sets it apart from the myriad of other dining options on Buford Highway. I was ecstatic to find a new food genre which rarely happens these days. What also impressed us were the diverse sauces that accompanied the sandwiches. Instead of settling for the usual ketchup and mustard, Pepitazo delighted us with a selection of six different sauces. These flavorful accompaniments brought a unique twist to the meal, perfectly complementing the fries. Our personal favorites included the garlic, corn, and pepi sauces, which added a delightful touch to the already outstanding sandwiches. The service was great and the hostess was very kind!Pepitazo on Buford Highway is an absolute must-visit. Indulge in their delectable open-faced sandwiches, enjoy the unique selection of sauces, and support the inspiring journey of two brothers who turned their dreams into reality!

Me encanta el Tajadas y el Aguacaton! Carne muy bien gusto y servicio amigable. Lo recomiendo!I love the Tajadas and the Aguacaton pepitos! The meat is seasoned and has great taste and their service is very friendly. Highly recommend!

We came with friends and the food was delicious, great service and the environment very clean. Low Hispanic music playing in the background and the people were really nice.

Wow! Amazing! Everything that touched my mouth was nothing less than spectacular! I highly recommend the Taqueño Burger. The bread has cheese inside (like Colombian pan de bono) and is incredible by itself. The sauces were out of this world. Definitely give this place a try.

Delicious open faced sandwich not too greasy and tasty! Fries are additive :) wonderful option/addition for already great Buford Hwy food scene.

Maria Jose and Valentina were amazing and very attentive. The food was to die for. I would definitely be coming back here. I haven't had such good Venezuelan food in a long.

My family and I were in the area for a Quinceañera and decided to give this place a try. The food was outstanding! my wife and I each had an open face sandwich and they were delicious! The meat was tender, juicy and so flavorful! My daughter had a burger and it was perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious as well. They have these sauces that are on the table and they just add to the incredible flavor! Definitely put the Garlic sauce on everything! Don't forget to finish off with their thin Churros that were a party in our mouths. The staff was so nice and helpful since this was our first time. we will definitely be back!
