El Arepon Venezuelan Restaurant just opened up in Bellevue, Nebraska (1021 West 23rd Avenue near Olde Towne) - having moved from a midtown location in Omaha. This is my second time being there in the week they've been open. Most everything is homemade, made-from-scratch, and authentic. For dinner last night I had the Tostada: It's an Arepa, dipped in seasoned butter and Deep-Fried! Served with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, sauces, and choice of meat (I had ground beef). My wife had the Steak Arepa: Chopped, seasoned steak, fresh pico de Gallo, and queso fresco. We also had an appetizer: Tostones with chicken. Everything was excellent - but man... that deep-fried tostada was amazing!! The owner, Richard, came by to see how everything was. He is just such a positive, happy individual it's hard not to smile when talking with him. Highly recommended!

The pepita sandwich was okay. I didn't like the sweet flavor of the sauce, just a personal preference. My friend got the Arepa chicken with avocado salad. She would get it again. It's similar to a chicken salad with cilantro. The beans were amazing and spicy!

Food tasted great. Not very familiar with Venezuelan food but was dining with a person who is and was told it tasted very authentic. Will probably go there again when in that area.

This place hits the spot every time! Becoming a favorite spot of ours to grab a quick bite to eat!
Unfortunately many menu items still state GF when they’re cross contact in fryer now. Arepas are gluten free. Just be careful. Really upset with how misleading the means is for those with allergies and auto immunities. Hoping to be able to have an empanada safely again.
