I cannot in my wildest imagination understand how any sane person could rate P'karos with 4 stars or greater. In our experience it was pretty mediocre.
Wandering Yonge street looking for interesting dinner options, We too were intrigued by the idea of trying Venezuelan cuisine.
First don't be fooled. This is a fast food snack place not a restaurant. Complete with blaring sound track and. 24/7 TV.
Alas the Venezuelan offerings are very limited, about 7 options. The main choices are burgers. And not very good ones at that. While no one should ever expect a burger outside of home to be good (they all have to cook them to a sad grey death) they don't have to be frozen industrial hockey pucks.
amazingly little deep fries starters were both still room temperature in the middle. (and salty!? Wow!)
I was the only one to venture onto the V menu ordering the Patacon (i believe its called) pulled beef on fried plantane. Not bad but $13? Really? (and Venezuelans do not seem to be big on vegetables - there were nine in sight.) it was worth $7.
1 starter, 6nasty "salty" (that's how it is on the menu) cheese sticks, 2 burgers, my Vez. dish and a water and pop = $54. I can get mediocrely for half that.
Venezuelans must also like their food salty and this all filled the bill.
Interesting too the 2 adults suffered crushing headaches on returning home. MSG maybe?
On the positive side, The gelato was quite good. And the server very gracious in allowing us tastes.
But if P'karos is still around in 6 months i would be amazed.
