This is a hidden gem. Their Arepas are amazing. Everything is made with love. There's so many things I want to try. Try the fresh juices guava or mango. The Arepa Pebellon is delicious and I also had their Arepa Reina Pepiada they all come with a choice of hot or mild sauce that is a great touch to any sandwich. I felt like I was eating in her kitchen as everyone there was wonderful!

¡¡La arepa pabellon que delicia!! Very attentive service very helpful and they have special meals as well. I came in for the arepas and they did not disappoint. They have empanadas as well. A very generous portion of ingredients inside the arepa. It is in a great location with meter parking lot behind the establishment. I cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

The Venezuelan Sampler is where it's at! I couldn’t decide on what I wanted so that was perfect. The meat is a little salty but it was actually balanced out nicely by the sweetness of the patacon and cachapa. I also really liked the textures of the empanada and the arepa.

I keep craving their meat empanadas!!! It is soo juicy and the skin is so crispy and the perfect texture. Not soggy or thick. I have to say this is the best empanada I have ever eaten and their mild sauce is so yummy. It's garlicky and should be put on everything!

Since working around Newton for the last 5 years, finding & having a place like Ellanas nearby is like hitting the jackpot. Their food is so fresh and reliably excellent. Even better than that is their staff! These people really treat you like family and are so accommodating and kind. I cannot rave about this place to people enough. Thanks Ellanas for being so awesome!

This Place is great- we loved everything we got.Arepas, falafel, soup - all crazy delicious. Can’t wait to go back. Miguel Was so nice and inviting- sharing recipes and tases of their soup. A hidden gem!

We had the beef arepa and beef cachapa, both really good, but the beef arepa with plantain in it was the star dish. Tequeños were also really good.

Amazing food!! We had the domino (bean & cheese) empanada, roasted veggie arepa, perico breakfast with a cheese arepa and side of plantains, and it was all incredibly delicious!! Really filling for a good price too ??

Stopped for a quick lunch today and was fully satisfied with the food. Our favorite was white fish empanadas! It was delish and Pocket friendly. We also tried beef arepas and cachapas. Overall liked the place, will try it again. Limited seating capacity, if you are going with a big group, I would suggest to call ahead.
Best arepas I've ever had, hands down. Who would've expected that you'd find them in Newton Center! So lucky to have this family owned and operated business nearby!

This place is amazing. My Colombian boyfriend approves. We got some empanadas and arepas and they were absolutely delectable. The tequeños were also delicious. And I’m in love with the mild green sauce– I need to learn how to make it. Service was friendly and very quick. Will absolutely be stopping by again.

Great food and very good service. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all very good. The restaurant is small so it felt a bit crowded but not too bad. We were able to get a table around lunch time. I liked that the beef empanadas used shredded beef instead of grounded beef. It gave it more flavor and better texture.
