Awful prices and they charge you 20% for service, two arepas $37 at the counter with no beverage. Food was good, but never again. Good Luck.

I am not a foodie person but definitely in this place you can taste their delicious flavors perhaps because they are made with fresh produce & meats, with excellent customer service characteristic of all Global Market businesses, they manage to create that good experience. I have to say that it's expensive to eat here and it can be an inconvenience for some people but personally I am happy to pay because it's worth it.

Pabellon is really good, but they have to add more beans without charge more to keep balanceEmpanadas are not bad, not the best, but crunchy.I have to say they make the best Cachapas (+10 stars for those) and worst tequeños ( minus 15 stars) in town.Super pricey! Be advised it's expensive, really expensive for what youWe didn't try arepa but looked good.

I stopped by as I was recommended of this Venezuelan restaurant by my friend and I am glad I did! I didn’t know what to try so I asked them to put together a plate for me. Chicken was very well seasoned and the side grilled veggies were so fresh. I will be coming back to try other items on their menu.

I can't deny that the arepas are super big, but the filling tasted very strange…I have eaten better!

GET THE TEQUEÑOS ? the arepa was beautiful looking! The market was an experience, pretty loud but lots of vendors to check out.

The chef was amazing! My husband and I came a few minutes before close, we both have never had Venezuelan food before, and Wow! Seriously some of the best food I have ate in a really long time. We had the arepas with shredded chicken and empanadas with chicken and they were so amazing! I will definitely be going back, and will tell all my friends to check this awesome place out as well!
Food is really good. However, it's getting really expensive (plus they charge for sauce and add automatic 18% gratuity, even for to-go orders), so if you're usually looking for deals then there may be better options elsewhere (although I got a high amount of cash back through the Upside app, which is the reason why I still went).

Quick & friendly(this may sound horrible), but I had no idea they add an 18% gratuity automatically, so when she flipped the screen to me too add a tip, I did. But when I realized something wasn’t in my bag(a tiny thing of key lime mouse that was $5) and went back to counter, I looked at my receipt trying to figure out why it went from $27 to $36..I saw it had my tip + the tip THEY add. I was not happy and told her if I’d known they took one automatically, I wouldn’t have left an extra one. I’m a server and I wish I could say we do that on our tables! The rice bowl shop across from them didn’t do that(I checked after this issue). To me that’s sneaky, (it’s not a regular restaurant, it’s a stand)and that 18% was plenty. She was not happy when I brought this to her attention and asked her to fix it. And then I got home and found out the extra sauce I paid for was not in there either. Kind of disappointed when they weren’t very busy that 2 items are(were) missing.

The Cachapas was really good. Probly my favorite from what I tried. The tostones were also good. My mom enjoyed her pulled pork arepa. I don’t see much Venezuelan food back home so when I do find some I like to try it. Would for sure go back. They are in a food court type situation so there is also other food places to try. Go check them out
Recommended dishes: Tostones, Cachapas, Arepas
GET THE VEGGIE SANDWICH omg I really thought it was just on the menu to check the "veggie friendly" box but boy was I wrong. This is a crafted masterpiece of a vegeterian option, hands down would get again.

I had an arepa with pernil, cheese, and plantain. My wife had the arepa with shredded beef and cheese. Wow! Very delicious, big portions, and very moist meat. I would consider this place the “Whopper” of an arepa joint compared to other arepa restaurants around the Twin Cities.Definitely recommend and the Midtown is also a great place to visit and walk among the many ethnic establishments inside.
Arepa was one of the best I've had. Quality and portion were both great! Absolutely order the garlic aioli with it. You will not be disappointed!
I like the food i had salmon fish very delicious. The staff great. The owner very sweet. Great sense of humor
