This was a SUCCULENT meal. The arepas are simply delicious, the sauce they give you is to die for, & on top of that everything just happens to be fully gluten free. I had a chicken arepa with cheese, plantain & beans (Pabellón de pollo) & it was so good. They have a very large selection of vegetarian & vegan meals as well. The prices are also super fair. Very lively atmosphere, friendly service, will for sure be coming back!View more

The food is delicious! There are several vegetarian options, everything is gluten-free, & their guacasa (sp?) avocado sauce you put on everything is to die for! I was also really impressed with their sangria tonight. Absolutely delicious & we'll always go back!View more

I prefer Arepera over the other arepa restaurants on the plateau. They have a simple selection of plates & dishes that makes it easy to choose (there's basically one or two kinds of arepa per type of protein). Unlike some of the other places, Arepera always seems to be consistent in the quality of their dishes & sauces, so if you're a creature of habit that is also a plus. It's also a certified Gluten-free establishment, I believe, so they only serve GF dishes, & drinks (like GF beer), & there is no risk of cross contamination for people who are celiac. The only couple of downsides to this place are: 1. The restaurant itself is a bit stark. Despite having bright walls, nice art, & church pews as entryway benches, it's basically just one giant room with cafeteria style tables. There's very little privacy & the sound echoes quite a bit so you can hear other people's conversations quite clearly. It also feels really chilly in the winter, so if you're a fan of cozy this probably isn't the place for you. 2. They don't do delivery anymore (it's been a few years since they stopped, but this review is long overdue), so if you want to order in, you have to go to the restaurant & get takeout. I still think it's worth it if you're craving arepas. 😁View more

Arepera has been a staple for me for a while now, so it's about time I finally wrote a review. Their avocado sauce is so good I'd give up my first born child to know the recipe. You can't go wrong with any of the arepas, but my favorite might be pabellon (with beans & plantains). This is a must try location!!! Also great for gluten free folks as arepas are made with corn.View more

I get the Domino Platano with Avocado every time. It's a really filling, affordable, & authentic vegetarian option always made fresh with the loveliest consistencies. It tasted divine when drenched in the chili & avocado sauces. Also such a cozy spot with fast & kind service.View more

Great arepas, friendly service. A bit noisy & cafeteria-esque interior, but pleasant. The sauces take it up a notch. & at least for the the meal came very quickly & service was prompt & attentive. Would definitely go again.View more

Got a happy server.
Nice open view to the streets because the weather was perfect.
Food was almost good except that we ordered food right before the dinner shift & so within a few minutes of getting served my food was already to room temperature.
Their sweet plantains were perfect & their sauces were good.
Felt authentic Venezuelan.
Would recommend.View more

As always it was delicious! Courteous service! Employees there are always in a good mood smiling & laughing…it definitely has good vibes! In the summer you can take it to go & eat outside there’s a nice city installation with picnic tables, bike racks etc. If you have a gluten intolerance or allergy the Arepas are Gluten Free & they also have vegetarian options. My favorite go to is the Yuca entrée, the La LLanera arepa & passion fruit juice. Can’t get enough of that avocado sauce! Put it everywhere it’s addictive & delicious! Enjoy!
