Hola mis queridos #foodieslovers espero se encuentren muy bien...
¿Vieron mi portada, cierto?
Entonces, que les puedo decir si la imagen lo dice ¡TOOOODDDOOOO! 🤣😅😂.
Hello my dear #foodieslovers, I hope you're feeling well.... You saw my cover, right? So, what can I tell you if the image says it ALLLLLLLLL! 🤣😅😂. Today I want to tell you about a place that I had two months 😮 waiting to go. I counted the days and every time I saw their Instagram advertisement of ¡come! ¡eat me! it allowed me to savour in my mind waiting and discounting those days that I could kill my craving. The fact is that "la mata de la empanada" is located in the state of La Guaira and I had to wait until December to try their 30 cm empanadas. I have seen this concept in several artists but in Caracas so when I saw it there, I didn't hesitate to make it a must visit.
The good thing is that it is very close to my house but for one reason or another, we always left it for "another day", so that day we got up early and I said "TODAY IS THE DAY". It turns out that at first glance, it looks like a kiosk where they sell this food of gods, but no; seeing and studying the name "mata", I realized that IT IS IN A TREE!
It turns out that the place is on the side of a car park in a building where there is a big tree, but as they are in that city they make room for everything, so they put their food stall there. I imagine that they were mainly a small stall but due to their great fame, today they have a well established place and a reference point for people from the area and outsiders like me. The place is very nice. It has a bar and two tables; I thought it was enough because when we arrived it was empty but no, people come and go all the time, they order, leave, take away, order more, and as time went on the place became smaller. Thank goodness I took my table and took it over.
The waiting time was about 20 minutes, but I liked the order and cleanliness. The girl very kindly told us how much time we needed to wait for our order and what number we were in. Another thing I liked were the alternatives. From the simplest and most traditional to the big ones, which was the one I was going for 💯 there are many combinations and if there is something missing or you don't see it, don't worry, they will solve it.
I really didn't find the prices exaggerated, taking into account that it's an attraction for the photo and for putting it on social networks, but I don't think it's something to go for every day, firstly for health reasons and secondly for my wallet. My mother, who didn't sign up for the challenge, ordered a simple chicken one; my conquest chose a "carne mechada" and I chose a "catira" which is chicken with yellow cheese.
Yo soy de siempre pedir tres empanadas, pero por la ocasión solo pedí una.
As we waited, we watched the others with their empanadas and my anxiety grew, would I be able to handle it, would it taste good, until Tartan! OUR ORDER ARRIVED. I always order three empanadas, but for the occasion I only ordered one.
I started to eat it and every bite was full of chicken and cheese meal, that is, stuffed from start to finish. The dough was soft and thin, which I like because that's how you make a good empanada. Likewise, it was also with the sweet touch as it is eaten in my region so there was no way I wouldn't like it.
This last picture is a lie 😮 Why? Because I couldn't eat it all 🤣😂😅. In the end it was so much food that my J.J ended up eating about 20% of the empanada because I couldn't, I let them down he,he,he,he.
The only thing I didn't like were the cats that were in the area. I think that sometimes it is unavoidable because of the laws that exist in my country about animal abuse, but we must consider that it is food and those stray animals should not be on top of it, but that is another matter. As the customers continued to arrive and with a belly 15 cm bigger than when I arrived🐷, we said goodbye to the place to which I plan to return another time because I wanted to try the fish or other flavours.

Hasta el próximo mordisco
P.S. An empanada is a typical breakfast dish that is made with flour (BREAD) and filled with different things (except salad or banana, that doesn't go together), fried and ready to enjoy. Although it sounds simple, I don't think it is because it can break or not look very good, but it is a very tasty dish that if you learn to make it, it will become your daily routine. Be careful with the carbohydrates and fat, it has a lot of them.The photographs are my property. The cover is made in Canvas as well as the banner. Until the next bite
