- Do not be fooled by the size of the arepas. One is surely enough for you. If you're feeling extra fat maybe get two. Try anything with slow stewed beef with habanero sauce. Mouth watering!
- Real Cheap EatsNovember 12, 2011"Amid the mostly meaty options, the “Guayanesa Tropical” ($6) arepa holds its own, bolstered by a rich combination of fried sweet plantains, creamy wedges of avocado, and firm, mild Guyanese cheese." Read more
- Ms HeleneApril 8, 2013Home-style Venezualan here. Order the Corn pancakes with salty cheese and sour cream! Stewed chicken was ok but good arepa. Ask for the 2 home-made sauces, 1 mild and 1 spicy. Cheap and fun!
- Erik CintronDecember 22, 2013A place that u can go for a quick bite or make a night of it. They have a lot of different arepas & beyond. Food was good & they also serve alcohol. It has a good happy hour and The staff was decent.
- I can’t get enough of this place, if I lived close by I’ll be here all the time. I’ve tried other arepa places around but there’s nothing like Arepas Cafe 🤤
- M DMarch 11, 2019Small place. Food is delish. Chicken soup is huge and amazing! Tastes homemade! Wasn't impressed with the tres leche cake but otherwise all the food was great! Will be back!
- Tania PlateroOctober 19, 2017The arepas were delicious! The veggie arepa was great, black beans, avocado and sweet plantains 😋
- Destination arepas! Pabellon pernil is delicious. One arepa is probably enough.
- Serious EatsMay 13, 2013Thin griddled, overstuffed arepas occupy half the menu. Go for the porky mami, stewy pollo mechado, or vegetarian Guayanesa tropical.
- ShinaSeptember 20, 2014Authentic Venezuelan spot with great food and a really good selection of imported beers and wines.
- Dan LamOctober 22, 2014Honestly everything is great in this place. Definitely try the Chicha as a light dessert. The Mami arepas is my favorite.
- Gabriel ChungApril 19, 2015A great taste of venezuelan and something unique. I loved the Mami arepa!
- Zayed KhanJanuary 17, 2014Arepa pabellon is a must try, but the stewed meats are excellent as well. Best Venezuelan arepas I've had in NYC.
- Bryan KaplanSeptember 15, 2012Eat the camerones arepas with the green sauce. Have the ice tea and also make sure the person you eat with over orders. This way you get to try the other arepas.
- Sandra BOctober 14, 2013Passion fruit mimosa $4. FOUR DOLLARS. Every arepa is delicious. There is zero ambience here, but who cares when the food is so.damn.good.
- LianyJanuary 10, 2019Don’t underestimate the size of the arepa. One is more than enough with a shared appetizer.
- Amber TsaiSeptember 17, 2014Tried the Arepa Pabellon. Shredded meat. Mmmm. The portion looks small but you'll be full with one. Mayyyyybeee one and a half.
- Kevin WallaceMay 16, 2014You really will be tempted to get 2 of these delicious arepas. Trust me, just get 1. 1 is more than enough.
- Justin KalifowitzJune 29, 2014Sit at the bar. Order the Pabellon Criollo and Jugo de Parchita. Best $16 you'll spend that day.
- Ok, let me say this place is amazing! Best arepas, cheaper than other ones! Anyone with sweet plantains, the best!
- This is one of the hidden gems of Astoria. All of the arepas are AMAZING. The mini cachapas are the best app.
- The arepa funghi is delicious, especially con queso. Don't miss the brown sugar lemonade!
- Kay BrockFebruary 27, 2017I will be coming to Astoria weekly for the chicken arepas! Good sangria too!
- Shirley YOctober 15, 2013Delicious and great lunch special. Fried yuca is delicious with the spicy and cilantro sauce.
- Regina MaAugust 4, 2013Get the cinnamon drink and the cafe on leche is solid. also, the mami arepa was delishhhh
- Nirza PerezAugust 17, 2011Best cachapas ever! So are the arepas, bomba arepa is my favorite, of course a Polar beer can't never miss it.
- Leah M.June 24, 2013Do not let the menu description confuse you-- the camarones arepa is with Pico de gallo, not "cooked with tomato onion sauce and cilantro." Simple, still tasty, among the lighter arepas choices.
- Diane MoralesMay 12, 2013Delicious! The Sangria was great, and the service was wonderful! Can't wait to go back :)
- Fanny GDecember 24, 2013I had my first bite of shark meat here. Taste like regular fish, but I have to admit I was a little nervous taking those bites.
- Enrique LastraFebruary 28, 2010So far the arepa pabellon remains my favorite, and I've had almost everything on the menu! Mini empanadas with their delicious hot sauce and aioli is always a winner
- Mark OOctober 11, 2012Food is great, however upon checking in I was informed of a 50% discount offered on foursquare, showed the waitress but it was not honored even though I was within terms. Tisk Tisk foursquare.....
- Leah M.June 24, 2013Arepa Pabellon or you're doing it wrong. Savory, sweet, crunchy. It's why you should sit there in the first place.
- Arminda Guillama-RodriguezAugust 25, 2011No need to go to manhattan for some great Venezuelan-style arepas, and certainly no need to wait. Try the Mami or the Guayanese Tropical.
- Shar CastellanoFebruary 23, 2014Really good arepas! Order one arepas first because it's very filling.
- Arepa Pabellon is fantastic, the Domino is pretty amazing. Have at with some Yuka fries and some white cheese... perfection.
- Kaity NgJanuary 29, 2011All of their arepas are made fresh. I travel all the way from Brooklyn for arepas at Arepas Cafe. Enough said.
- ✨Song✨December 7, 2016Don't get 2 for yourself, DON'T! Get one arepa with beans, plantains, and meat.
