So so so so so so so good! Don't hesitate! We'd never had Venezuelan before and we've been back 4 times since. Go, enjoy, and spread the word!

So darn yummy!! We love coming to see Lorena! She is so sweet she makes this place feel so inviting and homey! I added roasted mushrooms to my parrillita bowl so yummy! Ground beef empanadas so yum!

Delicious!! First time coming here! I got the Texan arepa-there are so many different types, so I just got one that sounded cool haha. Crazy fries were so tasty! They were loaded up with cheese, coleslaw, ketchup, and chicken. I was not expecting the portion to be so big, but I love it! Definitely share with a group. We had to take it to-go. The servers are nice, but I'm not able to understand a majority of what they are saying. It took them a while to bring the check too. However, the food is amazing and I definitely want to make room for the Guava Pie next time!

Definitely a big portion of food. Service didn't disappoint and the place was pretty chill not too loud.

Holly shit that was good. Best surprise. Will be coming back as many times as I'm around. Amazing flavor and super nice staff even explained how to eat the arepas. 10 stars

Was lookig for an authentic latin food place. The Maracuya/ passion natural juice was on point! The food was delicious! We had arepas with chicken and a few rice bowls. Everything was fresh. The did seem short on staff. But overall good expierence.

Decent place for arepas and other Venezuelan food. The plantain chips appetizer was quite good and reminded me of Indian papdi chat. The Parrillita bowl was pretty filling, one bowl split by 2 was more than enough. We ordered guava pie for dessert and honestly this was the biggest miss of the meal. The pie was so overloaded with vanilla ice cream on top that I didn't get any taste of guava in a bite at all. The pastry crust was not really well baked and felt grainy. Service was good and the location was quite convenient.

Very nice atmosphere and the food was spot on! If you go, order the Guava Pie! It's round but it's still a pie! Also the crazy fries certainly delivered on the crazy!

We ordered the steak arepa with cheese and avocado and it was awesome! The meat had a nice char, they added a mild sauce that was delicious and the avocado was very fresh. The restaurant was also very clean! The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 out of 5 is because the service could have been a bit better, the staff didn't check on us much and took a while to give us our check when asked for it.
The Texan and the other arepita were good, maybe a little dry on the bread but tons of glorious meat and the other thing was like a sweet corn bread and meat and cheese, the flavors were spot on. Slightly sweet and savory, my favorite. Y'all make some awesome food, especially after a day of hiking

Me and my family have been coming to Arepitas for years, and each time has always been a great experience. For our appetizer, we got the Tostones which comes with avocado, cabbage, cilantro, white cheese, and some of their house sauces like mayoketchup and garlic sauce. The plantain base was very crisp with a nice startchy and fluffy interior similar to a potato. Both the avocado and sauces added richness to the dish along with a garlicy sweet finish. The cabbage and cilantro also freshened the overall taste and texture as well. For my entrée I got the Parrillita Bowl which was packed with chicken breast, steak, avocado, white cheese, bell peppers onions, cilantro, and garlic sauce, for the base you can either get cabbage, french fries, rice, or yuca. Overall, the meats were cooked perfectly and were nice and tender and were seasoned just right. In addition, the bell peppers and onions added sweetness to the dish while the avocado and garlic sauce added richness to the dish as well. I got cabbage as my base and added mushrooms which freshened the dish and gave a boost of an umami flavor respectively. All in all the bowl was balanced and very satiating. For dessert we opted for the Passion Fruit Marquese which consisted of a custard, a graham cracker crumb and crust, a whipped cream, and a caramel drizzle. This dessert was phenomenal, the custard from the passion fruit was tart and has a flavor that is reminiscent of a pineapple and a mango. Additionally, the caramel drizzle and cream alleviated the tartness from the custard and the graham cracker crumble and crust added a nice crunch to the dessert. So if you are a fan of tarts or fruit pastries I would highly recommend giving this dessert a try. In regards to ambience and service, our food came out in a timely manner ~10-15 minutes per course and the servers were friendly and very attentive to our needs ensuring that our food came out correctly and the restaurant itself is both lively and uplifting. And lastly, everything was clean, so if you are a fan of Venezuelan food or are open to trying it I highly advise coming here.

The cutest waiter, he was so attentive, ask for Joel, constantly checking on us and taking clutter away. He also made the drinks. The food was very flavorful. But the dirty mojitos were on point. More review when I go back again.

Really good food. One of the best Venezuelan restaurants I've been to. Very clean atmosphere. Pricey but well worth it.

La verdad si eres venezolano nunca vengas aquí; por un momento pense que sería bueno por tan linda presentación. Estoy indignada que la comida de mi país sea servida de esta manera; las cachapas sencillamente las hacen de la mezcla de cachapas PAN. Saben horribles, deberían hacerlas como tradicionalmente se come en mi país. Y el platillo más importante que es el pabellón lo sirven como sopa revuelta.
