About Caracas Arepa Bar

Caracas Arepa Bar is located on the boardwalk next to the restrooms and near Rockaway beach. The arepas are incredible, not too greasy or overly salty, with creative flavors and fresh ingredients. They are a great beach snack. The De Pabellon is a favorite, with shredded beef, black beans, white salty cheese and sweet plantains. The frozen sangria is a fun summer drink. The special sauce is also cracked and amazing. The restaurant has vegan options and a dessert option, with huge portions for sides like fries. Taro fries are no longer served, and plain french fries are now offered instead. There is live music and great live entertainment, often on weekends, with open air seating on the boardwalk and beautiful ocean views. The empanadas are pretty average tasting. The line can get long but moves quickly. The staff is courteous and friendly, and the service and atmosphere are great, though the service is just ok to some. The space is described as kinda ugly with tacky chipping dirty green paint. It is considered expensive for what you get.
