    La Caribeña arepa with sweet plantain, avocado, and guayanés cheese. Delicious food, and Gluten free too!

    The 16 stuffed-arepa choices wander pretty far afield. Classics include reina pepiada and pabellon. But you can also get the Frida Khalo, which gives a twist with its avocado and shredded cheese. Read more

    OMG! I love it! There are so many options of spectacular arepas, and the place is really nice and cozy. The staff is very nice as well. I had the Galipan and tequeños.

    The real Venezuelan arepa, thin and with lots of ingredients, a truly unique experience in NYC. Their white cheese is amazing, their shredded beef is even better.

    Great for a quick meal. They have a wide variety of arepas. The pabellon is a good beef option. There are gluten free options.

    Delicious. I might prefer the taste of these over Caracas. Better for a quick bite though, and not a sit down meal. The Perico arepa with scrambled eggs is amazing

    Excellent arepas. A tad pricier than Caracas, and they don't serve alcohol. The lady said to get two if I was really hungry, but they average like $9.50 per sandwich. I'd rather be waited on for $20+

    I want to like it, but it’s overpriced and ehh. There is just something off about the flavors and it’s sort of awkward with the staff sitting around ignoring you and talking in a different language.
