Venezuelan Restaurants near Jamaica Plain, MA

“Every time we go to Viva Mi Arepa we leave happy and already looking forward to the next visit. The food is absolutely delicious!!. We especially love the pabellón criollo, which is always so flavorful and comforting, and the tequeños, perfectly crispy and impossible to stop eating. The cachapas are amazing—soft, slightly sweet, and generously filled—and their empanadas are just perfect. And of course, the arepas are fantastic: fresh, flavorful, and packed with delicious fillings.
What makes this place even more special is the atmosphere and the people behind it. The owner herself is often behind the counter making sure everything runs smoothly and that customers have a great experience. She is incredibly kind, warm, and friendly, and you can really feel how much she cares about her restaurant <3 I highly recommend this place!“

“This food was simply mind blowing. Some of the best food I've had anywhere. Can't say enough. Had a chicken bowl and shared beef arepas. Wow. Worth a trip from anywhere.“

“Utterly delicious! Got a spicy beef bowl and it fixed me. I was meeting some friends and didn't have time to research any gluten free options in the area. Took a chance on this place and the hostess was very considerate of my dietary needs. Will definitely order again in the future!“

“We all had something different from the menu. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and had a great sauce on it, the Bavette and Macfaldine dishes were also excellent. Did not care for the caesar salad before of the kale greens. It is a small place so make reservations. Michaela was absolutely great and we all had a fun time.“

“As a Venezuelan I could say the place is charming and well designed and decorated with details that remind me of Venezuela, most of the food my son and I got last night was very good, the trio de empanadas divine... Shredded beef was delicious as one of the best I've had since I left Venezuela, black beans also very good, the cachapa super delicious but a little too cold for my liking. The only disappointment related towards the food we got unfortunately was the arepa, was very dry and it felt it was previously made and reheated... The tequeños were ok, not the best ones and I think they are overpriced. The service was confusing... When we enter the restaurant one of the guys looked at us like, what do you want!? He wasn't welcoming
But our server was attentive.
Definitely we would come back to try more dishes and get more empanadas!!“

“Always a great meal and my favorite is the chicken quesadillas.“
