Serious EatsApril 25, 2013Hefty fried plantains are smashed, fried twice to get extra crispy, then used as the sandwich "bread" for a variety of fillings. We love the fried cheese version; it's salty, meaty, and delicious.- Christina C.October 12, 2013Try the pulled pork patacon. It's a sandwich with fried plantains as the bun!That's what they are famous for. One is enough for 2 ppl. Check in on yelp to get a free tequeno (cheesy bread). Yum!
Patacon Pisao was my first try at Venezuelan food. I prefer their arepa to their patacon though. Get pernil in your patacon (or arepa or cachapa or tacucho)!The pernil is succulent. Put all the sauces
SalSeptember 4, 2018Get an Arepa and fill it up with whatever you want. It can get a little messy, but worth it. Tres Leches cake is pretty good here.
Dolores GarciaAugust 21, 2012This is more of a take out location than a sit down, however it was all worth it. Our group order Patacon & Cachapas Sand & Grilled Chk salad. The Cachapas tasted like my grandmothers. We enjoyed it!
JeffreyAugust 31, 2014But the main attraction is the patacon, a sandwich constructed with disks of twice-fried green plantains rather than bread. Overstuffed, dense, chewy, unwieldy and tasty.
Marlyn ArceOctober 22, 2014The food is awesome. Especially love the arepas. Small, but super filling. El jugo de parcha (passion fruit juice) is amazing!- Tara Lannen-StantonMarch 27, 2010Best food at Choice Eats and went there today and it was even better. I am in love with the Cachapas. My goal is to try everything on the menu
Daniel CarvajalMarch 24, 2011Patacones, cachapas, and arepas... Anything in their menu is awesome! Best Venezuelan joint in NY!
Village VoiceDecember 20, 2010This Choice Eats attendee brought Patacon, Cachapas, Arepas, Tequenos, and Tres Leche...yummy!- Village VoiceFebruary 3, 2012Village Voice is excited to have Patacon Pisao at the 2012 ChoiceEats food fest! Full list of restaurants here: http://ow.ly/8QjDQ
All the patacones are worth your taste buds. If you eat here too often, switch it up with the arepas.
Tenzing ChonzomApril 18, 2016Decent arepa sandwiches. Terrible service especially the one Latina girl who has a big attitude problem
