Very low-key relaxing place to enjoy a fresh, authentic Mediterranean foods. I ordered the chicken salad and they make this amazing, warm bread thingy, the best way to describe it is between a crispy English muffin and pita bread. The sandwich was packed leaving you feel full and satisfied, they make their chicken salad with avocado which is amazing. Highly recommend. Everything is made to order so be patient. It's definitely worth the wait

I came here one time while traveling after getting a recommendation from a friend. The coffee was fantastic and the Arepa was even better. I would call myself a food snob when it comes to flavor and accolades for Arepa Please!

Arepa Please in Riverside is an absolute gem. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with care — the kind of authentic Venezuelan comfort that hits every time. The arepas are perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with fillings that feel both hearty and homemade. 🌮✨

The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the vibe is relaxed — a great spot for grabbing lunch, bringing friends, or just enjoying something different from the usual.

Jacksonville has plenty of food options, but Arepa Please stands out for its authenticity and warmth. It’s one of those local spots you can’t help but come back to.

I visited today for the first time, and my experience was nothing short of wonderful. The lady who took my order was pleasant and knowledgeable, and I loved her recommendations. I tried the Pabellon Arepa and the Chicken Empanada as well as a Café Con Leche, and I loved everything. The Arepa is big enough to eat from twice! The atmosphere was the perfect balance of serenity and diversity, and I would absolutely come here again.

Consistency is key!
I say that, as in every time you come here the food is that, consistent, never a hit or miss, spot on every time, perfection at its best.

PS: the cheeseburger is the best in town, if it isn't messy, it ain't good.

The food is okay but the service is lacking. They forgot my order.
Room for lots of improvement in food, service, and atmosphere. The chaps behind the counter were nice enough
