Pepitazo

The food was amazing and the staff super friendly! This was our first time eating there and we enjoyed it tremendously. The freshness of the ingredients and flavors are incredible! I ordered the Nestea de durazno (tenderloin, mushrooms, onions on bread) and my husband ordered the Pepi burger...best burger he has ever eaten. And the french fries were hot and crispy! If you are looking for a fantastic meal, this is the place! And the portions are plentiful...you won't go away hungry. 😃

The young lady at the counter was super sweet and the food was absolutely delicious 🤤 I enjoyed the variety of sauces! The were all very good . My 6 year old daughter fell in love with the fries and cheese sauce. We tried the four cheese option with chicken and steak 👌🏾

First time having Venezuelan fair and I was not disappointed. Everything from the fried cheese, the pepitos, and the assortment of delicious housemade sauces, this place slaps. Highly recommend and reasonably priced. Employees were super friendly and you could tell they took pride in the food they served/cared about their customers. Great experience!

The food was delicious. Didn't know what a pepito was exactly, the staff was happy to explain and make suggestions, very helpful and friendly. Went with a pepitazo and a champi gratinado for my wife and I. Both were delicious - the pepitazo was better. They also have a variety of delicious sauces, most were tasty, but the garlic and cilantro one was really good. Some of the appetizers and desserts looked good, but we were stuffed and had half a sandwich left over. Next time. Pretty standard industrial restaurant atmosphere, functional, and perfect to focus on the food and people rather than a fancy environment. We liked it.

Buford Highway Dinners Club – Pepitazo (Buford Highway) Recap We gave Pepitazo on Buford Highway an overall 7.55/10, which under our new system (where 8+ means we actively recommend it) puts this one just below that line. We wouldn’t go out of our way to tell someone to go, but we also wouldn’t steer anyone away. The menu focuses on burgers and Venezuelan-style Pepitas/Pepitos, and the potato sticks inside the sandwiches added a great crunch. The sandwiches were good overall but definitely needed more sauce — thankfully, there were some solid sauces on the table that helped bring everything together. Fries came with the meals (not clearly communicated) and were fine, but could’ve been hotter and better seasoned. Pricing felt fair but slightly high, and the $2 drinks with no refills were the biggest downside. Service was friendly but limited, and staffing seemed light. Bottom line: good, consistent food with some unique touches, but just shy of our recommendation threshold. A little more sauce and better value clarity could easily push this into 8+ territory for us.

If you haven’t tried this place yet… you’re seriously missing out! I ordered the California Pepito and WOW (Hispanic accent lol) the flavor was incredible! Juicy tenderloin, crispy bacon, creamy cheeses, and the perfect balance of corn and sauces on soft, grilled bread. Everything was fresh and loaded with flavor. The fries were crispy, and the three sauces that came with it were the perfect bonus especially the green one (SO delicious!).😋 The portion size is huge, and totally worth the price. You can tell they don’t skimp on ingredients, and it tastes homemade but elevated. The menu has so many options everything from mushrooms and plantains to different cheese blends so there’s something for every craving. Highly recommend this spot if you’re into loaded street food style sandwiches with serious flavor and Latin flair. Definitely coming back to try the Champi Gratinado!

La comida divina!! Authentic Venezuelan food done right. We met one of the owners who is so nice and accommodating, had great recommendations and was very attentive. The food was flavorful and filling — the mixed protein is the way to go (and the range of sauces is impressive!), and you have to try the Té de Limón. Can’t wait to go back!

First time visiting today for lunch. Caroline greeted me at the counter and was very helpful in recommending my first sandwich. I say "sandwich" but the are much closer to a flat bread. I had the Chicken Pepitazo and it was delicious! Bread and fries were both perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Flavor combo of the sandwich was spectacular. Great first impression. I look forward to exploring more of the menu in the future.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Brilliant Venezuelan sandwiches, heaping with toppings and an excellent selection of sauces. Highly recommend this joint either if you're new to Venezuelan cuisine, or familiar with it already.
