Venezuelan Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“We LOVED Arepas Cafe. We heard about it from the Taste Buds series on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. The vibe / atmosphere is so fun, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out hot and FRESH. An order of empanadas and one arepa was plenty of food for two. This was a wonderful little neighborhood spot and I would highly recommend!“

“⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ¡Sabor 100% venezolano! Me encanta este restaurante. La comida es deliciosa y tiene el verdadero sazón de mi tierra. Es mi lugar favorito para consentirme y disfrutar de la gastronomía venezolana sin tener que cocinar en casa. ¡Un pedacito de Venezuela en cada plato!“

“Excelente servicio y comida . En pocas palabras una experiencia distinta“

“Food is delicious, we drive almost 40 min each way just to go get our food there. We always call being 20 min away and when we arrive our food is ready. Prices are really affordable and definitely worth it for the quality and quantity of the product.“

“I pass this place all the time but never thought to stop in. Big mistake! The other morning I finally decided to give it a try and ordered a late breakfast via DoorDash. I went with the Venezuelan Breakfast, and wow, it was incredible. The shredded beef was perfectly seasoned, the caraotas (black beans) were flavorful, and the arepa was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The scrambled eggs and sweet maduros rounded everything out and made the meal so satisfying. Now I can’t wait to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!“

“Over and beyond! The dishes meet standards, the atmosphere creates mood and the service meets needs. The workers are notably polite and welcoming as well. The taste experience satisfies, staff helps appropriately, and quality remains evident. Simply stated, this place has my heart, and it'll capture yours.“

“Had the best empanadas ever from this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The space is very cute and the food was so amazing. The music was great too. I had a guava con queso and a mechada platano yesterday queso blanco. Everything was so delicious. I will be back for more. I love Venezuela 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪“

“Lulla’s in Williamsburg is quietly becoming one of the most compelling Venezuelan bakery and brunch experiences in New York. There is a clear intention here: to reinterpret the high-end bakery culture of Caracas through a contemporary Brooklyn lens, and it works more often than not.

You walk into a space that balances warmth and design with surprising precision. The room feels intentional, never overcrowded, with a rhythm that shifts between coffee service and full brunch energy. The presence of a full bar elevates the concept beyond a typical bakery, positioning it as a true all-day dining experience.

What stands out most is the emotional connection. There are real Ratatouille moments here. Flavors trigger memory without falling into cliché. The execution is thoughtful, particularly in the panadería program, where the team shows a genuine understanding of texture, fermentation, and balance. It’s not nostalgia for the sake of it, it’s controlled reinterpretation.

Ale and Ivo are clearly building something with identity. This is not a copy of Caracas, but an evolution of it. The result lands in that rare space between comfort and ambition.

In a city saturated with concept-driven openings, Lulla’s manages to feel personal. A Venezuelan bakery with a cocktail program shouldn’t feel this coherent, but here it does.

High-end, yes. But more importantly, intentional.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“Everything was absolutely DECADENT.I ordered their pulled beef bowl as a main it had the perfect mix of fresh greens, savory beans and rice, sweet plantains, refreshing avocado and the sauciest flavorful beef!I got their tequeños and Yucas as starters and they were also so delicious and their sauce paired perfectly.Price is so reasonable for the portions. Would highly recommend and I will be back. Get their passion fruit drink ?

Vegetarian options: Cachapa (corn flower pancake), empanadas with cheese, arepas with cheese, tequeños.

Dietary restrictions: Their arepas are gluten free! Tons of vegetarian options.“

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

“@La comida muy sabrosa👍😍Y las personas son muy amables🙂🙂🙂 La verdad amo comer allí 😍😍😍“

“This steak arepa burger was all I needed when it came to protein. Called the picana arepa burger. No sauce even better. Just pure juicy steak. All I can say is the passion fruit juice. Lay off the sugar. It was way too sweet. I’d prefer getting passion fruit in Colombia where it’s not over powered with sugar. Other than that, my meal was perfect.“

“Everything I ate was excellent, service was on point, and staff made the experience better. Their staff showed consideration alongside welcoming manners. Even basic dishes get special presentation treatment. This place exceeds customer expectations. The restaurant performs perfectly.“

“Best experience ever, the food was prepared from a chef that loves cooking and knows how Peruvian food has to taste.

The waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and managed our order very well.

The place was clean and welcoming.

We came by recommendation also from their social media page that posted about this place.

We drove around an hour and a half to this wonderful place and we will definitely coming back.“

“Absolutely delicious. Great location and atmosphere.“

“I’ve been following Titi’s for a while now and finally made my way to the store let me tell you it was so worth driving through traffic.

I ordered the oxtail ( so good make sure you use the juice )

I also ordered the chicken and cheese ( use the hot sauce) so good 10/10

I also ordered the cuben sandwich so good I wanted another one

Last thing I got was the cheesecake and guava I wish I would had ordered two.

This is a great place to visit the staff is friendly and welcoming I’ll be back for more.“

“Really enjoyed the sushi here! I ordered the Ask Sushi and the Fuji roll, and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. All tasted high quality, and the balance of flavors was perfect. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“Is delicious food and good service“

“Try their Pabellon Arepa! You will forget your name and lose your mind. It is a masterpiece, chef-d'oeuvre. Insanely delicious. And don’t leave it unattended on the table! I am from upstate New York. We have hundreds of Mexican restaurants up there and none of them can make Arepa even close to La Napa’s.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“BEST VENEZUELAN EMPANADAS IN TOWN!!
We ordered through Uber Eats and they arrived in about 20–30 minutes, still warm and absolutely delicious. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, with generous filling in every bite. The meat was beautifully seasoned, not too salty, not bland at all. You can really taste the care put into them.
I 100% recommend them and will definitely order again!“

“Ordered catering on two separate occasions and everyone loved it both times. Lesley helped me out this time with all my neurotic changes and questions (a film shoot!! iykyk) and was an excellent communicator! Will def be ordering again. Thank you!“

“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.“

“My family is from Venezuela and I was visiting my husband’s family in West NY, so I found this little spot and it brought me back! They have all the sweet treats when I was a kid (Toronto, Suzy, Cocosette). I wanted to try it all so I had the mixed Venezuelan platter, con tequeños, arepitas con carne y pollo, yuca, and empanaditas. I also got some bebidas de Parchita y Guanabana for me and the hubby. It was yummy and worth going back! Gracias!“

“I was there yesterday to try the food for the first time and I must must say that The food at Patacon Pisao in Elmhurst it’s delicious 😋, amazing plantains stuffed with pull pork!! Is the best hands down!!!“

“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.“

“Always enjoy the food. For this, I used to travel to the heights. Because of the location, I had doubts about the meal. I went there after giving it a try one day when I was feeling lethargic due to traffic. There is always a lot of cheese in palitos de queso. The cachapa and patacon are also excellent.“

“De pasada por New Jersey me conseguí con este lugar, el cual era de empanadas, más de 40 tipos de empanadas, desde empanadas de nutella hasta empanadas de pizza, la at nación fue excelente, me encontré con este lugar que es como estar en Venezuela, tenían desde Malta hasta Cocosette... De verdad muy bueno los recomiendo! Si estas en New York no dejes de visitarlo!!!“
