We tried them for the first time and we had to try almost the whole menu because why not
If that is your first time, I highly recommend trying: Pabellon empanada, Papita de Yuca con queso, and the Pollo/Chicken.
Here is everything we ordered: (E) is Empanada and (P) is Pastelitos.
– (E) Papa con Queso/Potato with Cheese: it is OK, it didn’t have distinct taste
– (E) Camaron – Shrimp: it was OK, had more flavor than the potato and cheese one
– (E) Pabellon: it was excellent must try
– (P) Pollo/Chicken: we ordered the Pastelitos version. I loved the chicken, I didn’t care for the dough, I will try it in an empanada next time.
– Papita de Yuca con queso – Cheese Yucca papita: that was a favorite!! It was really good and flavorful.
– Aguita de sapo/Pork fried arepa: it was impossible to eat and I didn’t like the pork. The only highlight was the fried cheese which tasted like Halloumi fried cheese.
– Tequeñongo: it was good but I wouldn’t be in a rush to order it again
– Jugo de Tamarindo/Tamarind Smoothie: it was really good. Probably gets too much for one person but very tasty
– Mandocas: it was like fried dough, it wasn’t sweet at all. It was good.

I went there this morning for the first time and immediately I noticed that it was a popular spot.. The food was so amazing! I got the Pastelitos! Ground beef, pollo, and papas. I immediately started calling people telling them you’ve got to try this place!!! I will definitely go back again soon!

This is the most honest and real review you will read about this location. I’m not speaking out of impulse: I went 4 times to eat so I could give a fair opinion… and this is what I experienced.
I truly wanted to love this place. I tried it on four different occasions, spending over $30 for two people each time, hoping to feel that taste of home we seek when we miss Venezuelan food. Unfortunately, I left with a full stomach… and an empty heart.
Service:
Even before the self-order kiosk, customer service was poor: no greeting, no “good morning,” no “welcome.” With the kiosk, it became worse. There is no human interaction at all. They hand empanadas and pastelitos together without labeling or explaining which flavor is which.
Food:
Empanadas (almost $4 each): yes, they are crunchy due to pilado corn dough, but not in a good way. They are over-fried, hard, and very greasy, which aligns with other reviews calling them “stiff empanadas.”
Pastelitos (almost $3 and very small): several came overly fried. The ham and cheese pastelito had one slice of ham and one slice of cheese, and the cheese wasn’t even melted.
Meats: repeatedly over-salted.
Garlic sauce: thick with herbs (possibly parsley), but extremely salty and unpleasant. It does not represent authentic Venezuelan garlic sauce.
Tequeños: taste like frozen supermarket products. Sad that this is the most acceptable item.
Price vs satisfaction:
I have spent over $30 here more than once, and I never left satisfied. I make better empanadas and pastelitos at home, with more love and better flavor. This place doesn’t satisfy a Venezuelan craving — it harms it.
Identity and culture:
I am not from Zulia, I am from eastern Venezuela. But if a business carries the name “Tierra Zuliana,” it must honor it. This food does not represent our roots, nor bring pride… it brings sadness.
I am giving it 2 stars because this business could still be saved if it actually listens to reviews and cares enough to improve. But to be honest, after four attempts, I would not return.

I just had the best empanada of my life! The dough is made with fresh corn, super flavorful, perfectly crunchy on the outside, and juicy and delicious on the inside. Every bite was amazing. I can’t wait to go back for more!

Love them! Authentic and fresh. Would always recommend and their food is made with care and detail. I feel back in Maracaibo. Try the papitas de yuca please. They know their stuff.

Must try if you live in South Austin. The empanadas are excellent. You will not be disappointed. They also have some Venezuelan drinks. I could easily eat here a few days a week.

I think that was my first time having Venezuelan food and it was delicious! My husband and I shared the sampler plate, with a mix of everything. My favorite was the cachapa (with a base made of sweet corn, tipped with fresh cheese – yum!) The person who took my order was very kind and explained what the dishes were. We’ll be back!

I have been buying pasapalos venezolanos from the owner of Tierra Zuliana before they decided to open a food trailer. Whenever I heard that they decided to extend their business my happiness was out of this world.
I was born and raised as a Zuliana. And let me tell you, the food from this establishment is hands down, one of the most authentic I’ve ever tried here in the United States. Service is always excellent, and despite Venezuelan food is usually expensive, their prices are very reasonable.
I am so grateful that they decided to open a space for people who are homesick like me. This is my go-to place for Venezuelan comfort food.
I congratulate every single one of the employees of this business as well as Gustavo you don’t imagine the change you’ve made here for austin foodies.

Fruit juice smoothies—worth driving here just for the fruit juice smoothies.
Guanabana—hard to find anywhere, and delicious
Passionfruit (parchita) — delicious, must be super fresh bc it tastes better than any other parchita that I ever tried
I know there’s good food here too but for today’s review I’m just focusing on the juice.

Extremely long wait times – never got my pastelitos even after 25 minutes and there was no apology. Had to get a refund but they couldn’t give me a receipt so will likely need to dispute with my credit card. Don’t come here.
