Four Brothers Venezuelan Grill

I love that they have smaller arepas options because they are packed with delicious ingredients and we were stuffed! Putting the plantain in the sandwich took it up a notch! So flavorful! Delicious! Cool little food court area. They need more tables inside but there are more outside as well. Amazing food! Glad we found it!

It was a little difficult to find this restaurant, as it’s located under the street level and there’s no signage on the street level. It’s was worth the hunt. I have never tried Venezuelan food before and I’m happy that’s no longer the case. The food was good quality ingredients, flavorful and delicious!We enjoyed the Chicken Avocado Salad and Pabellon Arepas, Whole Sweet Plantain and Cachapa.

I recently indulged in the mouthwatering Four Brothers Shredded Chicken Arepa, paired with the irresistible Tequeños dipped in their delectable homemade garlic sauce. To top it all off, I sipped on the refreshing Passion Fruit Juice. Every bite and sip was a delight! I wholeheartedly give this experience a 10/10 – highly recommend trying it out!

The four brothers Arepa is to die for and they’re very reasonably priced. The food portion was great! Although it looks small the whole foods made it very filling. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking to try some Venezuelan food in a relaxing atmosphere!

As a Venezuelan girl born and raised, I CANNOT emphasize enough how good this place is. The quality of the flavor took me back to my childhood. The queso frito, the reina pepiada, and the PERNIL—omg, it’s Christmas on a bite. 1000/10!! I loved everything!

Stopped in for pork arepas with yucca fries and was left very satisfied. Delicious flavor in the meat. 😋

Friendly and quick service. I ordered the 4 Brothers arepa with pulled pork with a side of fried plantain. So good and I definitely recommend it. My favorite restaurant at the Fareground!

Amazing food! We were so excited to find this place while visiting Austin from Michigan. The food and staff were exceptional-highly recommended going there. I just wanted a plain arepa and they madevitvjustvright🥰

This place is in the downtown Austin Fareground and is such a hidden gem. I wasn't expecting to stumble across this spot, but I'm so glad we did. The service was incredibly kind from the moment we walked up, and the seating area was spacious, clean, and warm. Perfect vibes on a cool day and plenty of room for the whole family. Now the food. . . Everything was amazing. We ordered the mini arepas, pabellón, beef fajita, the 4 quesos, and the cachapa with shredded chicken. Cinco estrellas, sin duda. The flavors were unreal, the presentation was beautiful, and the dressings they use take everything up a notch. We also grabbed a side of black beans and white rice, and it was more than enough food to feed all five of us. I've been thinking about this meal since we left. Already planning our next visit so we can try even more.

Picture this: it's 6PM in Austin -- prime dinner hour, bellies rumbling, the city alive. I stroll up to Four Brothers in the food court, expecting culinary excitement. Instead, the staff looked at me like I had just ordered a seven-course tasting menu at a DMV. "Food? At... this hour?" one seemed to think. I half-expected someone to check if the grill still worked. Ten minutes later (which, in food court time, is roughly the gestation period of a baby sloth), my two beef arepas emerged -- proud, golden, and dense enough to qualify as building materials. I nearly sprained a wrist lifting the first one. I swear it whispered, "I'm 80% cornmeal and I fear nothing." Now, credit where it's due: the pulled beef inside was delicious -- tender, savory, like it had dreams of being in a better vessel. The dipping sauce was the unsung hero: zesty, balanced, and probably wondering how it got stuck in this plotline. In short: if you're craving something edible and enjoy a side of mild confusion, Four Brothers will deliver... eventually. But if you're looking for culinary fireworks? Let's just say this show got rained out. Pro tip: Bring patience. And maybe a chisel to get through the arepa. So four brothers, two stars... half a star per brother.

Delicious!!! The arepas are smallish but two was a good size meal. The plantain dish was also very filling. The très lèches was divine, we just wish they had one of the other menu items, but both days we tried they were out.

Late night snacks and they were soooo flavorful! Get the steak fajita and Penua areas! You will not be disappointed

I wish I had seen Four Brothers before I made my final choice for food (even though my choice was delicious), but had I seen it first I would have gotten ALL the arepas. Since I had already gotten my meal but craved a small carb loaded bite, I get their arepitas with chicken. First, the woman at the register was so friendly and kind. She congratulated me on completing my race which was lovely, and she put a smile on my face! Their menu is also SUPER gluten free friendly, so I was in heaven! The arepitas may take a little time, and while I wish there was a little more stuffing, oh my goodness I wish I had more room to eat more of these crunchy, sweet, perfectly fried arepitas! So delicious with an excellent sauce, crunchy, and I loved their masa. I love that they were not super great even though deep fried, and it gave me hope for the next time I stop by and get their arepas! Definitely worth a try at Fareground!

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.

This place is inside a food hall that has other businesses surrounding. I got the chicken avocado salad arepas. It's not actually a salad. It just says that because of the ingredients that are in it. The service is quick and efficient and the ambience is really nice, clean, modern, with the acoustics of a food hall. The chicken avocado salad arepas was pretty good I would get it again. The chicken was shredded and tossed in the avocado, mayo sauce. The slice of avocado definitely helped make it a refreshing bite.

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.

Wasn't my favorite. The food was so salty I couldn't finish eating it. I really tried to get pass the flavor. Not my favorite, won't be back. Besides being so salty, it was just messy. Way to much sauce dripping all over. And it wasnt enjoyable

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!

Came here just passing through it's very close to the Marriott hotel which is nice, it's across the street. They don't offer military discount but the food was ok, a little salty for my taste but I ate most of it. They also didn't have a spicy green sauce which is also my fav. I have had some arepas with very soft meat but this one was a little on the tough side but it was still decent

I never had Venezuelan food , so when I saw Four Brothers, I figured I would give it a try. I love trying new cuisine, however, this was not for me. I got the chicken and beef arepa, it wasn't horrible but wasn't good in my opinion. The service was sub-par as well.

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!

I got an order of plantains and shredded chicken arepas delivered, they were fantastic. The light green sauce was the perfect pairing for the arepas and the fried cheese paired well with the side of plantains.

Service-Bad Food-okay Ambiance-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.

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.

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 food Do not order the pork here. It might put you in the hospital, $15 meal cost me over $2000

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.

Food was incredible with some of the best chicken I have ever had! The servers were excellent and the food came out so quickly!!

Customer service is excellent, and so is the mango juice. I could drinks gallons of it everyday. It tastes like real mangoes and not at all sweet. The arepas are hard and lack salt, but there is potential in the flavor. It's also really expensive (I usually pay that price for two). The plantains however were delicious, and the black beans were good. It was overall satisfying.

I got the four brothers arepa + mango juice. It was so delicious. The customer service was excellent and very family like vibe. If I'm ever in downtown Austin again, I'll definitely be visiting again

I had the arepitas, chicken and beef. They were fresh and delicious! I would highly recommend checking this place out. Can't wait to come back and try the other items.

Incredibly delicious arepas. Wanted to try the whole sweet plantain but they were out. I will be coming back.

This was my first time here and first time having arepas - it didn't disappoint! service was fast and the food was delicious. Will definitely make this a must have when we're in Austin.

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

I was very surprised how terrible the arepa was. Not sure if it was the lack of care of that's just how bad the food is. The corn breading was very thick and hard almost mixture between frozen and stale same thing goes for the plantain extremely hard and inedible. I should have returned it but I didn't.

I would have given zero stars for wasting my time. I tried to do an order ahead but no one ever answered so I just decided to come in and order and I placed my order and after 10 minutes of waiting I was told they don't have any arepas. I asked for something else on their menu and it was out as well. Pay you mind, I did not come in before closing I came in at 2pm so why are yall all out of food. I asked for a refund but the cashier said she didnt know how to process a refund so I had to wait for her to call several managers who never answered. Never again! Walked away with no product and having to dispute it on my credit card.

I only got the Katira arepa and it was packed full of chicken. Whatever you do get extra sauce because it's delicious! The staff was nice. I got it for there and as soon as I sat down I had to leave. They packed it to go with a smile. This location is located inside a food hall, so it was very busy, but not too loud; I went during lunch. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. The arepa " bread" was moist, but not mushy.

Good Pork Arepas, Nice Cashier with a fast service, and a quiet setting. Would go back

We had Four Brothers bring the food truck out for our wedding. Everything was streamlined and efficient and, most importantly, the food was delicious. We received a ton of compliments - the empanadas and tequeños especially were a hit. Very pleased all around!!

The arepas are delicious. Perfect portions to fill you up, Quality Service in a timely manner

Absolutely delicious! Food was delivered quickly and tasted amazing. May be a bit expensive for the appetizers but still no regrets

The worst arepas I have ever had. Don't waste your time or money. There are better places to go.

Delicious! The four brothers arepa was fantastic. Service was quick and the team was polite and friendly. This was super convenient to convention center.
