We've used Arepa Grub Spot several times now to cater for work potlucks and family gatherings. They have become our go-to spot for arepas and empanadas! This family-run business is accommodating and very easy to communicate with. The catering delivery was right on time and the food was hot! Wish we had pics of the empanadas, but they are all gone!

Had the pleasure to taste Venezuelan food for the very first time, and I have to say…I’m impressed!
I wasnt sure what to expect but the flavors really surprised me in the best way.. The arepa texture (Reina peleada) crispy outside.. soft inside with the chicken salad and the seasoning was spot on.
You can tell it was made with care and authenticity and their hot sauce A+++

As someone trying this for the first time it was a great introduction…....

Of all of the places to get Arepa in the city, this is by far my favorite. Very flavorful. The arepas & cachapa are great, but I really loved my patacon with shredded beef today. And nothing beats their sauces! I will definitely be back.
