Rica Arepa | Venezuelan Restaurant offers an authentic Venezuelan dining experience. The arepas, stuffed with a variety of meats, are praised for their generous portions and delightful flavors. Customers express enthusiasm to return and highly recommend the Pelua and Barbie arepas, as well as the empanadas and cachapas. The chicken arepa is fully packed with flavorful chicken, although it may be plain without any condiments or veggies. Customers suggest adding extras like avocado to enhance the experience. The arepas are described as pretty big and filling, providing a satisfying meal.
The restaurant features wonderful outdoor seating and a large space with free parking available, creating an impressive and relaxing atmosphere. While the menu has a lot of different options, some customers find the meals to be on the expensive side, especially when ordering multiple items. The tequeños and the punta trasera & queso de mano are also noted as good choices. Overall, many diners appreciate the amazing food and are happy to support a family-owned restaurant.
