Papelón Venezuelan Arepa Bar is a small restaurant offering delicious Venezuelan cuisine, particularly their signature arepas. The arepas feature a crispy corn flour shell filled with an excellent blend of ingredients, such as seasoned shredded chicken, plantain, black beans, and queso fresco. The portions are generous, and the arepas are praised as the best. The restaurant also offers other options like bowls and fresh juices, including passion fruit and Papelón lemonade. The cachapa, a sweet pancake filled with cheese and meat, is a must-try. The chicken empanadas and pabellon chicken arepas are also standouts.
Customers love the sauces that accompany the meals and the friendly staff. While the restaurant has limited in-house seating, with only 3 tables, it offers a take-out option, and there is street seating available nearby. Customers have described the arepas as "perfect," "different," "tasty," and "filling," with the garlic sauce being a particular highlight. The passionfruit dessert, a pudding, is also a popular choice. The restaurant has received excellent reviews, and customers appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and the chef's expertise in preparing authentic Venezuelan cuisine.
