“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.“

“My visit to Arepa Mania Bar & Grill in NY was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing the Reina Pepiada arepa was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The chicharrón was crispy and delicious, and the natural passion fruit juice was incredibly refreshing.

The atmosphere added so much to the experience. The indoor garden-style decor is really nice, giving the space a cozy and vibrant feel that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal even more.

A special shoutout to our server Valentina, whose service was truly outstanding friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

This spot is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food and a welcoming vibe!“

“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 ;)“

“Fresh ingredients don't have to cost extra, as this place proves. I've had consistent success dining here. Employees: outstanding. Thorough and skilled. The dinner included multiple courses, with each better than the last. Savor the culinary journey!“

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

“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!“

“**🌽 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 into the arepa, paired with sweet plantains that feel like nature’s candy, black beans for that earthy richness, and a hit of salty white cheese to tie it all together. Every bite was a *FLAVOR BOMB* — the kind you wish you could rewind and experience all over again. 🌋💥

Then came the Mami de Pernil, which honestly should be illegal for being this good. Juicy, seasoned roasted pork stacked high, garlic mojo dripping off every corner of the arepa, and just enough sauce to make it messy in the best possible way. One bite and I was like, “Okay, who’s the culinary genius back there??” 👏🐷✨

The place itself? Cozy, colorful, and full of warmth — like walking into a Venezuelan hug. Whether you're rolling in with family, catching up with friends, or trying to impress a hot date, Arepa Café sets the mood and delivers the goods.

**Pro tip**: Bring an appetite and maybe a napkin or three — things get juicy fast. 😋

🔥 10/10 — Worth crossing boroughs for.
💛 Flavor: off the charts
🎉 Vibes: immaculate
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Great for: everyone, always

Love this place. Already planning my return. 💥“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve tried other Patacon Pisa locations in the city, but this truck specifically has consistently delivered the best cachapas around. And they’ve done this for years.

I never order anything without adding some sides of tequeños. If you like mozzarella sticks, you’ll love this soft cheese filled stick.

A contender for a last meal if it ever comes to it“

“The glowing reviews online describe this place perfectly. Speedy and hospitable customer care. The group appreciated our variety of shareable plates. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming like a friend's home. I return here more than I should admit.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

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

“This place is an absolute treasure. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and hospitality that makes you feel like family - and that’s thanks to Ximena and her amazing team.

The arepas are nothing short of perfection and the tequeños are unreal: golden, cheesy, and everything you’d hope for in the perfect bite. I have also tried the empanadas and they are flaky, flavorful, and generously stuffed - are hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had.

Ximena clearly puts her heart into everything she does and it shows - not just in the food, but in the service, the atmosphere, and the pride the entire staff takes in sharing their Venezuelan culture to all of us.“

“AMAZING arepas, best I’ve had in NYC. No frills, fresh made to order food, great ambiance, and the sweetest team of girls working here. No restroom, but they were kind to give me access for an emergency. Can’t wait to come back, the food was delicious!!!“

“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 absolutely love this place! The food is fenomenal! Every time I come I order a different dish and they never disappoint. The owner is very friendly, the atmosphere is nice to have a date or come eat with friends and family. I'm bringing all my friends here 100% recommend.“

“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.“

“Is delicious food and good service“

“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! ;).“

“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.“

“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.“
