Got the shuli arepa. It said spicy beans. Quite the opposite. It was bland and sweet. Weird arepas

Horrible food, not Venezuelan food at all. By the way, I asked for an arepa and they gave me one and that cachapa. I don't recommend the place.

Great place for arepas, which is not that commonly available in the Bay Area. Good selection and prices. Lovely hole in the wall place in the Mission.
We ordered the Yuca fries, which were delish. And the arepas and Platos were excellent, with wonderful plantain fries and coconut rice. Would love to come back.

I love coming Pica Pica! There are multiple options for vegans and meat eaters alike here and the staff is very cautious aware of making sure there is no cross contamination in making your food. The yuca fries are certainly a must here along with the 2 vegan arepas they have

Note: Only writing this to let the owner know in case they aren't aware of the celiac review apps and the recent change. It's otherwise an excellent place with amazing staff and food, hope that it can get resolved for the celiac community.

Something has gone wrong with their sourcing of gluten free ingredients.

I have celiac and suddenly after incorporating this restaurant into my diet my blood work numbers have exploded upwards. I track my numbers very closely multiple times a year and I've done a lot of elimination and it points pretty heavily towards this place as being the culprit. This also reflects in the reviews for find me gluten free website where people are getting violent reactions in the last year. Hopefully they eventually figure out where the gluten is coming from so that other celiac individuals and I can go back here again as their food is otherwise very tasty. I would recommend them to redo the testing that they once did in 2019 to figure out where the source of the problem is. Thank you

Cleanliness good at 4/5 by San Francisco standards, Location 5/5, Value for money 4/5.

This was my first time trying this Venezuelan restaurant, I got a little scared when I asked for a cachapa and they asked if I wanted cheese with it.

Which was really weird being Venezuelan to be asked, so I simply said yes and the flavor was simply amazing.

I didn't expect much but it is what I was expecting, simply a cachapa with the closest flavor from home I've had in a while ❤️

I'm hoping to go back and try more of the menu

Ok vegan/vegetarian options, however they should skip the tofu being not authentic Venezuelan at all. The place was pretty filthy and the cashier was on the phone while handling orders and touching food. I would not go there again.

Best spot for some Venezuelan food around. Try everything and, if you can, the arepas alongside their fries with some coconut juice. It’s the bomb.
