Venezuelan Restaurants near West New York, NJ

“Of all the Venezuelan restaurants I have been to in my life in this country, I have to say without a doubt that this is the best of all! The food is definitely like you were at home, the service is excellent and the homey atmosphere is the best! Don't stop eating your queen pepeada, tequeños and papelon with lemon! You have to go hungry to taste everything! A 10 out of 10!“

“I came here craving arepas (it's been years since I had one) and I was really satisfied with the experience, just like I remembered them.

The place is small but has a couple of tables and a counter to eat there.

The service is very friendly. I would definitely come back for more! ;).“

“Esteban is THE BEST. The arepas are great, sure. But come and sit down and chat with the owner who will take the best care of you, make you feel like family, and make you laugh a little too. Great little spot in the LES for a late night bite. Don’t sleep on this place!

Vegetarian options: Vegana, Gato, Quiches, Turnovers“

“This truck is the closest I've come to eating true, authentic Venezuelan food in years. Everything I've had here is fresh and so flavorful, you can tell the ingredients are of the best quality.

Food aside, the people that work it are welcoming and so sweet! If you're not Venezuelan they take the time to walk you through the menu/give recs, and if you are Venezuelan they are a much needed dose of home. Everything is delicious, but the cachapas and tequeños are unreal.

Could no recommend enough!!!!

Vegetarian options: A lot of dishes are corn based with cheese, most items can be adapted to be vegetarian.“

“Great food! I would recommend is place to anyone looking to try something new“

“BEST hot dogs in NYC hands down! Recommended 100%. Also try the other amazing Venezuelan specialties they have to offer. You won't regret it ;)“

“Excelente atención y la comida muy rica 👌😋“

“If you haven’t tried Classic Arepa in NYC, you’re seriously missing out. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth, the aroma of freshly made arepas, and the kind of energy that makes you feel right at home.

The arepas? Next-level. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside — each bite packed with flavor and authenticity. I had the Reina Pepiada and the Pabellón, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The shredded beef was tender and juicy, the avocado chicken salad was fresh and creamy, and the plantains? Sweet perfection.

Portions are generous, pricing is fair, and you can tell everything is made with love and pride in Venezuelan tradition.

To top it off, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, happy to explain the menu or recommend favorites. Whether you’re Venezuelan or just curious about Latin cuisine, Classic Arepa is a must-visit.

I’ll absolutely be back — and bringing friends. 🔥

“The arepa I ordered was delicious. I know it was Pabellón but it was beef, with sweet plantains, cheese and beans. The meat tasted delicious. The lady who helped me was very helpful and friendly. Fast service. The only thing I would recommend to the establishment is to find a way to not feel the smell of the bathroom so much. The rest was excellent.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“First time trying patacones. Staff was very helpful and the food was very good! We got the Pulled Pork patacones and the Beef Arepa. The homemade hot sauce pairs perfectly well with both!

The Tamarindo and Chinola drinks were also perfect for the hot weather.

Will definitely be coming back!“

“Amazingly delicious, filling and inexpensive. Their empanadas deserve a Michelin star“

“I went to Tozton today to celebrate my birthday after seeing an ad on Tiktok and it was definitely a great decision.

The food was delicious, the sautéed loin, the green noodles, the pavilion, the ground beef cakes and the shredded meat cakes. Natural juices, drinks like margaritas and mojitos; on point, ten out of ten.

The attention of all the waitresses was excellent, they even decorated my table with balloons. Thank you Emily and Natalia for your impeccable service.

It was also easy to find parking near the restaurant. It is very spacious and tables can be organized for large birthday celebrations.

Totally recommended in Astoria.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the tequeños, a cachapa, an empanada, an arepa and a pan. Authentic Venezuelan. The service was also phenomenal. Go there!

Dietary restrictions: Good for people who need a gluten free diet“

“I will definitely recommend them, wonderful authentic Venezuelan food, the “empanada” took me back to my childhood, the “cachapa” had the best best cheese (queso de mano) I’ve tasted in the USA. Staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. We were served very quickly. Can’t wait to come back !“

“Absolutely delicious. Great location and atmosphere.“

“Excellent attention and service! I was looking forward to eating sushi! I asked for a special service since I'm pregnant, they prepared my rolls with great care! Thank you very much for indulging the cravings. The roles were delicious, we will definitely return“

“It was all super delicious, we ordered pabellón , arepas and tequeños and everything was extremely incredible.. I completely recommend this restaurant in terms of food, regarding the speed to send the products I could say that maybe they can reduce the waiting time but I guess there are many factors involved so I give a ?? to the service.“

“I had dinner with my family and it was fantastic; the food was great, but the service was exceptional. Manuela was our server, and her attentiveness to our needs was truly impressive. Highly recommend this place for its excellent food and service!“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“Their menu shows thought behind each offering. The Sunday dinner rush filled every seat so delays were natural. The meals taste great, costs stay fair and service is consistently excellent. Our group consumed every morsel - it tasted excellent. Another experience here awaits me.“

“Omg i had a yuyon its a sweet platain sandwich with steak lettuce and tomato its a fact u will return for another one they are so awesome customer service is so great the employees treat you with kindness i really recomend it to anybody give it a try u will not regret it.“

“Is delicious food and good service“

“I typically enjoy the food from this restaurant. However whenever I order off UberEats, I have found that 50% of the time my special instructions are not followed. This is unfortunate since I genuinely do enjoy the food here and often crave it. Specifically the grilled chicken sandwich. Overall the food here is great as well as the service. I have always had a positive experience when I order in person!“

“Y son had cachapa with a friend about 2 weeks ago and has been raving ever. We finally went with him on Saturday and returned on Sunday. We ordered cachapas, Chimi, yaroa and monfonguitos. All were good I would say the portions are big for 1 person small for 2. The juices were good as well.“

“Si estas en NY tienes que ir Comer ponerle todas las salsas y tomarte una foto cool 😎“

“Food, smoothies, juices, coffee are great and the service is very warm and professional with quick an accurate service.

Vegetarian options: Variation of salad

“I ordered Guacamole & Chips as an appetizer, then I ordered the Cheese burger for my meal. The chips were house made, so good & the Guacamole was just how I like it. Not too thick, on the creamy side & I could taste the lemon/lime . The burger was no ordinary burger. It was massive for a great price . Very juicy & EXTREMELY well seasoned in every single bite. I could only finish half but I'm so happy to have left overs . lol They don't have fries and that was kind of disappointing but they do have house fried potatoes which made up for it. They were so good , I didn't even need ketchup . Atmosphere is great, great service, loved it all the way around . Definitely coming back !“

“Take the opportunity to visit when you can. The place shows good hygiene and the owners are sweet, responsive and straightforward. The employees were impressive, incredibly watchful and likable. Each dish tastes distinct, servers know the menu, and quality ingredients appear in every bite. I would return to this restaurant when around.“

“Their Patacon is truly special. The fresh lechuga, tomatoes, & creamy sauces rich with flavor all compliment the well seasoned shredded beef. One of my favorite comfort foods so I was extremely excited to have found this place near my area. I’ll definitely be coming back & trying their Arepas, Tacuchos, & Cachapas.“
