Beef Patacones!! Yum!! I ran into Mr. Cooker at First Fridays and was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness. I had never had Venezuelan food before and I was greatly I did. Also had the beef Empanadas! Biggest empanada I've ever had. Loved Mr. Cooker & the staff was fun and awesome too! More...

We stumbled upon them at Total Wines Free event by Town Square. Talk about finding a treasure!! We ordered the combo of beef empanadas and chicken patacone. OMG!! Out of this world. We've never had Venezuelan food but I can't safely say I LOVE IT!! We will be back! More...

I am a venezuelan and I can say that this is the best venezuelan food in Las Vegas. For sure I will be back.

This is probably the best Venezuelan food I have ever tasted.  I have eaten here so many times, and every time the food is just perfect. The chicken empanadas are by far my favorite, and I love the fact that they have vegan options too. More...

So I went to the food truck Strawberry Festival in Summerlin. To be honest, it was more like a farmers market with only two food trucks a couple shaved ice vendors and an elephant ear expert. By the time I got there most of the food trucks had been cleared out. I have never tried Mr. Cooker before, but I have to say I was extremely impressed. I have never had a Papito sandwich, but I can tell you it was out of this world. My favorite touch was the Cheez whiz that was added to it. It was basically the equivalent of a Philly cheese steak but with Mexicana thrown into it :-) their fries were also very crispy and delicious. As with most food trucks it took forever for the food to come out, but once it did it was well worth the wait. I know this vendor has a location on the strip, but if you see them out and about make sure you give them some business because you will not regret it! More...

Stopped by yesterday at First Friday. I have always wanted to try patacones and they did not disappoint. Absolutely incredible flavor in the plantains. The beef was tasty and the whole sandwich was incredible. More...

I love this food truck and the Venezuelan family that runs it! Easily one of my top 3! Delicious authentic Venezuelan food accompanied by great customer service. I have not had a single thing here that I haven't enjoyed. My favorite is the veggie patacones & my boyfriend loves the beef arepa. Their food doesn't need additional sauce but they offer it, so why not put more yumminess on top of the yumminess?! The owner says they will be serving cachapas soon...I can't wait! More...

Solid value for some of the best Venezuelan food around town. The fact that it's on wheels just makes the hunt a little more thrilling. Mr. Cooker is a Las Vegas food truck that's been around for a little over a year now. I'm surprised at how few their review count is, despite their appearances at such events as the Great American Foodie Fest, Sunset Park'd, and a Yelp Elite Event. The former two are sometimes derided for overpriced and lackluster food, which is true for some places. However, they impressed people including yours truly at the latter, which is why I was so glad to find them in the wild today.Well, "the wild" in this case is the inaugural running of a weekly food truck gathering at the Total Wine & More on Las Vegas Blvd (near Fry's / Town Square), and it's more like a ring of about ten trucks/trailers/vans showed up and these guys were in the thick of it. I knew that they'd be among the best, so I couldn't pass them up as I regrettably did at other food truck events.The man running front of house (or outside of truck, in this case) gave me a brief tour of some of their menu. I went for his favorite after finding out that I could get two different meat choices. My order of patacones ($8 for two) came out within perhaps 5 minutes still plenty hot, but I eagerly dug in to these creations of meat, cheese, and sauces sandwiched between fried, crispy plantains.That crispness stands out first and foremost. It's not a hard crunch, and it yields something substantial in your mouth that texturally reminded me of some chicken skins that I'd recently had. Speaking of which, the meats are no slouch. The pork was great, but the shredded beef was surprisingly juicy and rich in flavor. And the slew of sauces was complementary and not overwhelming, although some areas were less sauced. Fortunately, I soon noticed that they had squeeze bottles including one that contained more of that ubiquitous green cilantro sauce. Ask for them. They're important.I'm definitely going to revisit Mr. Cooker soon. I definitely need to try their arepas, empanadas, pepitos, and perhaps one day a traditional certain comestible, if they ever source the right corn and cheese to craft the recipe to their liking. I'll be waiting. More...

We went to Food Truck night on Cactus Ave, and picked Mr. Cooker because they have Empanadas and you can't really find those everywhere.  I had the chicken and cheese, and my husband had the beef and cheese.  They are very big and I didn't finish mine, not because I didn't want to, but because it was STUFFED with chicken and cheese.  We both loved them, and the cilantro aioli was pretty damned good too!  I can't wait to go back in a few weeks and try the black bean Arepa sandwich and some plantains.  Pure yumminess!

Obsessed with their arepas! My husband and I discovered them a while back, when we started going to the food truck extravaganza on Fort Apache, by the wine and spirits. All it took was 1 bite of their arepas and we were hooked. We literally kept coming just for their food. We love their patacones, yucca balls, fried plantains and possibly everything else on their menu. Their sauces are so delicious! Definitely my favorite food truck! More...

I finally got to try this place for the Yelp Event at the lion place! My friend had invited me to be her plus one even though I'm ELITE hahaha! They are a food truck that serves empanadas and arepas! I only got to try the arepas but I think I ate like 5. Sober & Drunk LOLThey were literally handing them out like candy, I couldn't resist. I had 2 different variations of their chicken arepas. This place is much more authentic that Viva Las Arepas even though they are a food truck. Very clean, and friendly staff.I got to come try their food again on a after meeting snack break and they did not disappoint. Their cilantro sauce is delicious, and their food is extremely fresh. I will be back! More...

Mr. Cooker never disappoints! After a long day at work when I'm overdue for lunch, all I need is to see this truck's location pop up on Instagram and I'm on my way to arepa heaven. Even at a food truck festival surrounded by options from other states, I'll pick this Venezuelan street food every time.My daughter favors their delicious black beans. I always order a side of beans for her and she drinks them and makes a mess. The veggie arepa options include black beans, cheese, avocado, and fried plantains. I order mine "con todo" and it's perfect every time! The sauces are irresistible. I've tried a few special items such as fried balls of mashed yuca filled with cheese and I'm waiting for cachapas to make the menu someday. The Mr. Cooker family is some of the nicest people you will meet. If you are at all into South American street food, Mr. Cooker is my top recommendation.Don't be misled by reviews that describe arepas and empanadas made of "gluten free" "bread" unless you also believe that Mexican tamales and corn tortillas fall into this category. The accurate description is corn masa. Gluten free corn, amazing! More...

I first got the pleasure to experience Mr Cooker a few months ago and since then I have been hooked! I even got my husband hooked. I first fell in love with the Pepito sandwich with chicken. It wasn't until recently that I ventured out and tried the Empanada and Patacone combo with chicken. I have been missing out! What turned me away prior to trying it was the fact that I don't like plantains. To my surprise, the chicken Patacone didn't taste like plantains at all. This combo is by far my favorite. I can't wait until we meet again! More...

Walking around Fremont St one Saturday I saw there were a few food tucks parked across from Atomic Liquor. After walking past a few my wife suggested we try Mr Cooker and I'm glad we did. Looking at the menu the Pepito and the Patacones caught our eye.-The Pepito was that of a steak and cheese sub with a South American twist. The braised meet is very flavorful with cheese, caramelized onions and some cilantro mayo type of condiment it was an excellent sandwich that had me return the following week for another. The bread that it is served is was also fresh and tasty, a perfect roll.- Patacones. I chose the shredded beef which is stacked between 2 larger sized fried plantains. Topped with ketchup, mayo and cheese this sounded a little strange but was very good. I would defiantly order this again.The food doesn't take very long once ordered and the people who are working in the trailer are very friendly. I would recommend this food truck to anyone looking for a simple yet flavorful meal. More...

Even though we only had a Beef Empanada I'm going to give this spot a five. The service was very friendly and the empanada was outstanding. I wish we had stopped back to try more of the menu. I'm glad that they are local and I can track them down another time.The Beef Empanada packed a lot of flavor and was fresh. From the outside it looked boring, but turned out to be anything but boring. The seasoning on the bread and beef was very tasty. The bread tasted and appeared to be made from scratch. The sauce served with the empanada had a nice kick and nice flavor. More...

I came across this truck as I was going to the park and decided to try it out for dinner. Interesting because I've never had Venezuelan food. ..and a truck? Cool! Kinda intimidating because of the unknown, but as soon as you step up a kid steps out. He makes you feel at ease right away by helping you out with the menu. Smart of them, because I'm sure they know that the majority are not familiar with their cuisine. I'm sure most of us including myself relate Latin food with mexican food, but it isn't true and this wasn't an exception. We had a beef and a chicken empanada. The shape is similar to the kind I'm familiar with, but everything else is different. This had shredded chicken or beef and some kind of white cheese enveloped in a softer fry bread, I believe. The patacones were similar to a tostada but the 2 circles that sandwiched it was plantain instead of flour tortillas. We had one shredded chix and one shredded beef (it believe this is how these 2 meats are prepared for all their dishes) which also consisted of onions, tomatoes and cheese garnished with cilantro. The arepitas are a cheesy tasty snack that my kid really enjoyed. If you're  a deep fried fanatic check this place out every Saturday and I think Friday when there's 6 other type of trucks for an event. More...

I had the great fortune of finding this truck at the Cowboy Christmas in Floyd Lamb Park yesterday.  The outside of the truck doesn't scream Venezuelan food so I was a bit skeptical. The young man who took my order described every item to me.  Service was spot on.  I ordered the chicken empanada and my husband ordered the Pork Pepito Sandwich.  OMG the flavors!!  To say the least they pack so much great flavor into their food. The portions were pretty large for the price as well.  The empanada was light and airy and filled with creamy chicken, cheese and seasonings that all complimented each other.  I tasted my husband's sandwich because I had never had one.  One bite and I wanted to order my own!  The pork was so tender and the sauce they cooked it in was divine!  I had to ask if they had a stand alone restaurant that I could visit whenever I liked.  I will just have to put a tracker on the truck so I can follow it around town.  If they drive into your area check them out.   I highly recommend them.
