Most Disliked
While many adore El Original FoodTruck, a few patrons have mentioned that the wait times can be longer during peak hours, especially on weekends. This can detract from the experience for those looking to grab a quick meal. A small number of reviews note that the seating arrangements could be improved for a more comfortable dining experience, especially for larger groups. Additionally, some flavors might be too bold or unfamiliar for diners trying Venezuelan cuisine for the first time. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall sentiment remains positive, and the delicious food often outweighs any inconvenience.
