Really good authentic Venezuelan food. Went here with friends the other day and we all enjoyed our orders! Great service and wonderful flavors. Highly recommended their arepas and tequeños

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...

I have been ordering from this place for months. As Venezuelan, this place keeps a part of me still alive as culture and food are an important part of who I am. The food is as close as it can be as to being back home in Venezuela, the arepas, the Pabellón Criollo, I just can’t get enough of it. Today I decided to stop by on side and check out the vibe, and found myself with a cute, cozy atmosphere with GUACO playing. Felt right at home. Keep up the good work guys
