Mr. Cooker

Mr. Cooker is a delightful on the go eating experience. I have been to several events and come across Mr. Cooker food truck thus giving me many chances to try the: pepitos, empanadas, patacones (chicken & beef) & cheeses balls. All where very unique in flavor & textures that left me with a great taste in my mouth each time. It’s always a wonderfood experience! Please try & enjoy! ;-)

Even though we only had a Beef Empanada I’m going to give this spot a five. The service was very friendly and the empanada was outstanding. I wish we had stopped back to try more of the menu. I’m glad that they are local and I can track them down another time.
The Beef Empanada packed a lot of flavor and was fresh. From the outside it looked boring, but turned out to be anything but boring. The seasoning on the bread and beef was very tasty. The bread tasted and appeared to be made from scratch. The sauce served with the empanada had a nice kick and nice flavor.

We had the patacones (fried green plantain sandwiches), one with pork the other with chicken. Both were AMAZING.

Excellent food and excellent people! I was very impressed. First time I have tried Venezuelan food but I will be following the Mr Cooker truck around town! Thanks.

Delicious authentic Venezuelan food and excellent customer service. My new favorite place to eat.

I came across this truck as I was going to the park and decided to try it out for dinner. Interesting because I’ve never had Venezuelan food… and a truck? Cool!
Kinda intimidating because of the unknown, but as soon as you step up a kid steps out. He makes you feel at ease right away by helping you out with the menu. Smart of them, because I’m sure they know that the majority are not familiar with their cuisine. I’m sure most of us including myself relate Latin food with mexican food, but it isn’t true and this wasn’t an exception. We had a beef and a chicken empanada. The shape is similar to the kind I’m familiar with, but everything else is different. This had shredded chicken or beef and some kind of white cheese enveloped in a softer fry bread, I believe.
The patacones were similar to a tostada but the 2 circles that sandwiched it was plantain instead of flour tortillas. We had one shredded chix and one shredded beef (it believe this is how these 2 meats are prepared for all their dishes) which also consisted of onions, tomatoes and cheese garnished with cilantro. The arepitas are a cheesy tasty snack that my kid really enjoyed. If you’re a deep fried fanatic check this place out every Saturday and I think Friday when there’s 6 other type of trucks for an event.

Ok. Just went to a food festival and got the pork pepito and wow was it amazing. However it took about 20 minutes to get. The daughter or someone was taking the money and she was overcharging everyone for water. There’s a sign that states it’s $ 1 and she’s charging everyone $ 2. Her bra is hanging out of her shirt and she’s very rude. She’s rolling her eyes at customers. Telling customers they are «hovering» when they are waiting for their food and even yelled at her brother or whoever the young guy was taking orders if it was faster and she wasn’t there I would have ordered a second pepito but she Ruined my experience. She needs to learn customer service skills.

Great experience! I was very unsure of what the food choices were and the young gentleman out front took his time and helped me understand all they had to offer.
I had the mixed panacones (one chicken and one beef). They were excellent! Great food truck experience!

Wow oh wow oh weeee! Absolutely has a special place in my heart. Pork patacones is out of this world. Such bomb bursting flavors. The beef empanada yes! Every time please. Sauces offered were soooo delocious. Boyfriend loved the cheese balls. Cant wait to have again. :D thank you so much to the cooks and cashiers. Ever so kind service.

This food truck is just amazing I tried tequeños, Patacones, Arepas, Pepito but my favorite is the Empanada with beef, cheese and plantain.
What is funny is that the cooker is actually the cartoon chef in the logo of the truck.
I go every week and you can find them on Facebook.

They had us the moment they offered a sample of the yummy Tequenos and then hooked us with their Patacones. Customer service was so friendly and attentive!

Seriously the best empanadas I have ever had and the employees are so nice. The only thing is they need to be in a busier area, so more people can try how amazing Mr. Cooker’s food is!

Really tasty empenadas, super flavorful sauces to go with it. They also gave us a little sample of their cheese sticks wrapped in a flaky something similar to a tortilla but different from the empanada dough. Really friendly people, great job, I’m really impressed with this one.

Excellent food, superb service and awesome prices! I’ve never had Venezuelan food until I saw this food truck in my recent visit to Vegas! Well I must say that if this is what Venezuelan food is like, the Venezuela is a comfort food heaven!!! They got this hot pockets like food called arepas and empanadas which «delicious» doesnt even cover it! Just stuff your arepa with what ever you want and taste a little bit of heaven. You might also want to try their «patacones» which is fried plantains topped with some beans and cheese and any other topping you want and you will be amazed! This is really good food at a real good price that you just won’t find anywhere! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Muy Delicioso!
I chance upon this food cart on the corner of Sunset and Fort Apache, right across Southern Hills Hospital. I tried Arepas somewhere else before and I was not impressed.
But I decided to give Venezuelan food another try and I ordered Mr. Cooker’s Beef Arepas and Chicken Patacones. Both are superb! The sauces are awesome also.
I will definitely order from here again! Please try their food, you will not be disappointed!

In Hollywood, we’d crave Mucho Perro Columbian Hot Dogs… Haven’t seen a Columbian food truck here in Vegas yet, but we did come across a Venezuelan one. Not sure what you call what we just tried, but it’s basically an arepa, substituted with a tostone outside. Deeeelish! So glad we saw this on the way to my mom’s house! It’s right outside Top Shelf Craft Beer and Wines on the corner of Fort Apache/​Sunset. Def a MUST!!!

I had the great fortune of finding this truck at the Cowboy Christmas in Floyd Lamb Park yesterday. The outside of the truck doesn’t scream Venezuelan food so I was a bit skeptical. The young man who took my order described every item to me. Service was spot on. I ordered the chicken empanada and my husband ordered the Pork Pepito Sandwich. OMG the flavors! To say the least they pack so much great flavor into their food. The portions were pretty large for the price as well. The empanada was light and airy and filled with creamy chicken, cheese and seasonings that all complimented each other. I tasted my husband’s sandwich because I had never had one. One bite and I wanted to order my own! The pork was so tender and the sauce they cooked it in was divine! I had to ask if they had a stand alone restaurant that I could visit whenever I liked. I will just have to put a tracker on the truck so I can follow it around town. If they drive into your area check them out. I highly recommend them.

I am Venezuelan so I know how Venezuelan food is supposed to taste. I am so glad this food truck opened so I can get my «tequeños fix». Tequeños may seem like mozzarella sticks, but they are not. These are white cheese sticks (not mozzarella, which flavor is milder) covered with a delicious dough (no bread crumbs) and then fried. They are simply delicious and these people know how to make them.
I also tried their «cachitos». These are little breads with ham inside. I am not a fan of cachitos, but I have to say Mr Cooker’s are amazing. Maybe it’s because they use quality ingredients. They also created different versions, I would say, for the international customers. These 2 additional versions have shredded beef or vegetables. I did not tried them but both look delicious.
Their golfeados are super delicious. It is very hard to find golfeados in the states and I am delighted Mr. Cooker is baking them. They might look to not Venezuelans as cinnamon rolls, but the ingredients are different. They have a special kind of cane sugar and sprinkled white cheese. The sweet and salty combination brings me back to super happy memories from my childhood.
I need to go back and try their pepitos. If they are as good as their other food that I tried, they must be outstanding. If you have never tried Venezuelan food, try it at this food truck. You won’t regret it.
You can find them by following their Facebook or Instagram accounts.

Prior to my very good experience at the Mr. Cooker food truck last night, my previous food truck experiences were limited to working on dozens of constructions sites that offered mediocre food, service, and the unforgettable shriek of the loud obnoxious horn of the «roach coach» entering a construction site.
Last night the Mr. Cooker food truck was a great experience for me. The truck moves around the valley often and last night it was located outside the Crafthaus Brewery in Henderson. Perfect location for Mr. Cooker to drive and setup business last night, as the bar offered no food; and being located in an industrial park, nothing else was nearby for us bar patrons to eat en route to walking to nearby Bad Beat Brewing.
A friendly lady who I think is one of the business owners said that Mr. Cooker food truck moves around to different locations often and to follow them on Facebook, Twitter and/​or Instagram to see where they will be located. No time for social media for me, except Unilocal!
Mr. Cooker specializes in Venezuelan foods. For starters, I tried the Tequenos that tasted delicious. They looked similar to skinny egg rolls, but filled with hot melted cheese.
Next I ordered the Pepito beef sandwich that tasted very good. It was kinda similar to a Philly cheesesteak is the only way I can describe it. The roll was heated. $ 8 bucks and came w/​thick french fries.
Every food is custom order and takes a little bit of time which is why a couple of my inpatient Unilocal Friends took off to the next bar without me. But that’s ok because I was among friendly Venezuelan people who own, manage, and operate this Mr. Cooker food truck.
TIP: Bring a jacket on a November night, as it was chilly outside!

Always a friendly face and delicious meal behind this food truck’s counter. Straight from Venezuela this authentic Vegas treasure keeps it simple with their flavorful menu and fresh ingredients.
Have tried several items including their tequenos and simple arepa with queso– great to say the least! Cheesy and light, just how I want them– and very much true to home cooked Venezuelan foods.
Not just your run of the mill taco stand– it’s something outside the box and DEFINITELY worth a try.
