**🌽 Arepa Café – A Flavor Explosion in the Heart of Astoria! 🌟**

If you're not already obsessed with Venezuelan food, prepare for a serious love affair. I just had the pleasure (no, the privilege) of dining at **Arepa Café** in Astoria, and let me tell you — my tastebuds are still doing a salsa dance. 💃🌶️

First up: the **Arepa Pabellón**. Imagine slow-cooked shredded beef that's so tender it practically melts...
September 2025
This has been a favorite spot of mine for years, but the size and quality of the arepas has gone downhill over the past few months. At first, I had hoped this was a one off bad day for the restaurant, but after a few more visits, it's clear that things are changing. These are not the same arepas that they used to be sadly.

The staff was wonderful I love how the inside looks the food is good but the locals is what makes it great everyone I spoke to was from Venezuela living in NYC for 20 plus years and I loved each story given the people from Venezuela are wonderful and kind also thank you for the free shot
