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

“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.“

“**🌽 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. 💥“

“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“

“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“

“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!!!“

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

“I love this place. It has amazing Venezuelan empanadas, patacones, arepas rellenas, and so much more. On weekends, you can enjoy hervidos 🥰 I come here ever time I can and it brings me back ❤️❤️❤️ customer service is excellent. If you have never tried Venezuelan food, you should order the combos. If you need to bring something to a summer party, bring a bunch of tequeños. The kids will eat them by the dozen.“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“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.“
