Ávila Arepa - Urban Venezuelan Kitchen

Tried to order the pabellón arepa on Sunday January 25th. On Uber Eats it is required to select vegan or vegetarian, which is bizarre as the pabellón is made with beef normally. I selected vegetarian and wrote in the notes that I would like it made with the meat still and that I have no option but to choose veggie or vegan. I have done this several times in the past and received a normal pabellón. This time I receive a vegan pabellón with veggies replacing the beef and no feta. I figured it might be a one off mistake. I get a refund and reorder, again explaining in the notes that I would like beef in the pabellón. Once again it comes vegan….

I tried calling the restaurant 4 times. On the fourth try someone picks up and I proceed to explain what happened. They don’t speak one word of English and begin to talk to me in Spanish. At this point I hang up, because neither one of us understands one another.

This was such a disappointing experience. We normally love this place and order often, however this requirement on Uber Eats needs to change if the people cooking the food can’t understand the instructions being written.

Ávila Arepa is an absolute gem 💎💎

Authentic Venezuelan food done right — bold flavours, perfectly cooked arepas, and combinations you won’t find just anywhere. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

If you’re looking to support a local small business and try something beyond the usual, this place is a must. Truly one of my favourite food spots.❤️
