Four Brothers Arepas - Rainey

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!

it's very good food, but it's not consistent and very slow. I give 4 out of 5
