Listen-I've been burned before by Latino pork & beef that turned out stringy & dry. But here? Their Pabellón & Suerna were so juicy & packed with flavor. The toppings were fresh & top-notch, & they even give you both a tangy avocado sauce & a spicy sauce-absolute perfection.

The arepas themselves? Perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, soft inside, & the ideal vessel for a generous, delicious filling. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.

This is a great spot to grab a quick lunch if you can!

The price for an arepa is quite reasonable for the quality. I got the pork & avocado salsa arepa. It was loaded with the meat & avocado, almost spilling out bc of how much there was & it was absolutely delicious.

The staff are friendly & approachable but they will do the bare minimum so if you like to be left alone once the food is dropped off then this is the place. Thankfully they do give you a bottle of water so you're able to refill yourself.

Went to Arepera last year, it was very good. Like 8/10
Came here again 2025/6/4, it was way worse. The meat wasn't fresh. The corn bread also became worse. We ordered the cassava fries, only 6 fries were given… that's way too stingy.

The salmon were salty, so I assume they used cured salmon. Just order other fish which will be better than the salmon

Last time we ordered pork & fish & it was very delicious, now we order salmon & beef but it wasn't that good.

The cocktail is a skip. Any combination you made yourself at home will be better & cheaper. You can even buy a whole bottle of wine with that price & get better satisfaction out of it. The cocktail costed $10

This charming restaurant has been a Plateau mainstay since 2011, specializing in arepas, empanadas, & all things Venezuelan. 🇻🇪

The brunch is a delightful addition! The dishes were not only gluten-free but also bursting with authentic flavors.

We started with an order of empanadas; each one was perfectly crafted & filled with delicious ingredients, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
We followed that with the Plato Criollo, a giant plate of Perico eggs, fresh avocado, fried plantains, stewed beans, arepas, Andean cheese, & chicharrón (pork belly). All of this was not only delicious but extremely filling. We couldn't finish half of it 😅-the portion was very generous.

A big thank you to the team for their warm hospitality during brunch; it was evident that they take pride in their food & service. ☀?

Been close to a decade since I first wrote a 5 star review on TripAdvisor upon our first visit & this time I wanted to share it on Google. We visit this place annually (other than lockdown year) from out of town. A proper gluten free restaurant. Over these years since being introduced to Areparas we've tried other places to compare, in different cities & countries. We also noticed over the years some menu changed here, I really miss the Crackling Arepera but the Pork Belly is my replacement & amazing. The point of this updated review a decade later is after over the years trying different Arepara places hands down this place is our benchmark! Each time we return & I take my first bite, I am instantly transported back to the wonderful memories & feelings upon tasting the food here like the first time. I am reminded why they are our benchmark for their ingredient quality, taste, prep, portion, their 2 sauces & why we must continue to return to enjoy such great food at reasonable prices by this Arepera owner & the team. I really want as many people to experience it too!

Fresh & tasty. The meats were juicy & delicious. We tried the pork with black beans, plantain & feta cheese & beef, black beans, plantain, feta. I preferred the pork one. The empanadas were so crispy. Good, friendly service.

Arepera has been one of my go-to restaurants for years. However, I feel so disappointed when they decreased their portion sizes. I ordered a pork belly arepa (my usual), & to my surprise, I felt like it SHRUNK by least 20% compared to what I normally get. I can't believe one of my favourite restaurants let me down. But who knows? Maybe I'm crazy & my hands actually got bigger. Maybe they just shrunk the pork belly arepa, or maybe they give smaller portions to takeout orders. I don't think I'll go again, sadly. I would've been happy if they kept the same portions but just increased the price instead of trying to trick customers.

This place is an absolute delight! The music & musical decor are fun & exciting! The empanadas are delicious & served with both avocado & hot sauces! A delicious & delectable appetizer. I had the pulled pork arepa! It was wonderful with so many different flavors & textures! Everything is gluten free! You will be in heaven if you have celiac disease!

Had the pork belly arepa, plantains, & the cane sugar juice with lime. The food was so great. The service was so kind. 100% will be back. I love arepas bc they are gluten free & corn is so yummy, & these do not disappoint esp with the medium spicy sauce. I already ate one piece of pork from this before I took the photo. The plantain cheesecake was really interesting & I would eat it again, esp with some espresso.
