Actually i prefer the one in Williamsburg. But one way or another i love Arepa when i'm hangover! :)
Kyo SongFebruary 24, 2016
Absolute must try for arepas! Very cozy inside with tight and limited seating.
Igor TumasovSeptember 8, 2013
I'm a big guy. Even really hungry, one arepa and a shared sidekick is enough. And it is fantastic. Fantastic food.
Linh (Kelly) NguyenNovember 22, 2014
Great for a weekend brunch, short wait, Venezuelan style
Eboni WashingtonMarch 18, 2012
The best meal ever = Tequenos for appetizer and the Plato Cuyagua as an entree. (Add the Vista al Mar arepa if you're feeling gluttonous)
Janelle GreeneAugust 17, 2017
Girl. These arepas though....I got the shredded beef with salty cheese and beans and plantains. Perfection.
HeenaJune 5, 2014
For vegetarians - la mulata and volvere were really good! I have a preference to the volvere because of the chimi-churri sauce!

Mouth waters 4 De Pabellón Arepa with a glass of Tempranillo. If U R in a fight with some1. Eat here - you'll be out of it shortly. -Marc Sinoway, Hunting Season

The La Maluta. Grilled white cheese with jalapeños, black beans, sauteed red peppers and fried sweet plantains. Delicious!
Summer IzkovichSeptember 2, 2014
Good Arepa! Very small and cute place! There are 2 options: you can either dine at the restaurant or get it TO-GO!
Danny TrejoNovember 15, 2016
This place is small but worth the wait. The arepas are made from scratch and so good!
Gary PeckApril 16, 2013
Great Venezuelan arepas with a lot of variety. The place is small and gets busy in the evenings.
Zev Levit-RamosJune 21, 2015
All of the arepas are amazing. Make sure to get the Muichilada beer cocktail
estherSeptember 7, 2014
Excellent service, pretty good food--not the typical burger or sandwich lunch but a Venezuelan arepa (y)
Eric CohenDecember 3, 2017
Used to best the best arepas in Ny. Now they are soso
Rosi Liriano FacendaMarch 11, 2016
Everything here is delicious. The lunch special 9.75. +tax.

Good suggestion: Start with just one or two arepas, and ordering as you go – lest you endure a difficult waddle home. Read more
Emily KaneApril 15, 2015
The tinto de verano was so refreshing. Perfect for the warmer weather. 👌🏼
Lizzy SaxeNovember 16, 2014
Get the coconut shake and go with friends so that you can try lots of different arepas.

So delicious. The homemade shells are to die for. Surprisingly filling though--you only need one!
Natalie VNovember 16, 2015
Delicious! Love the one with shredded beef, cheese, beans and plantains.
Maxime BuryMarch 16, 2015
So many tasty arepas. La de pernil is a favorite. Get two if you're hungry.
Arsham MemarzadehMarch 4, 2018
Everything. Top 3 arepas on the menu and playa arepa.
Mayumi AndoJune 11, 2010
start with the tostones mochimeros. the la del gato arepa is subtly sweet; light yet filling (and vegetarian). don't forget the sweet & spicy michelada to quench your thirst. Read more
Erik CintronMay 1, 2012
The place was very rustic and felt like u were in a small town beat up chairs and salsa in the background the food was good little pricey for arepas but nice for new York

Try the Arepa Pelúa - This is one of the juiciest Arepas they have. Beef w/ cheddar cheese. Outstanding flavor
Thomas PajorApril 25, 2015
Nice atmosphere. Get two Arepas for a full meal; they are delicious.
Grace BarrMay 10, 2018
fried cheese & beef arepas
Chirag PatelMarch 9, 2018
Ton of arepa options. Venezuelan national dish good too

Can't go wrong with La Sureña or La Del Gato. And make sure to grab their special sauce for every bite!
JillianJanuary 7, 2015
La surena is delicious. Pop an Altoid or two afterwards because your breath will be kicking!
Giuseppe TurittoAugust 7, 2016
Authentic Venezuelan food, is like going to Caracas and stop by an Arepera
Kate HuyettMarch 31, 2012
Amazing arepas overall but the Pelua is the standout, followed closely by Pabellon. If you order the Muchachos, it should be the first one.

Try Los Muchachos, substitute chorizo with chicken, n add caramelized onions to it. Pour both there regular n hot sauce over it.... U'll love it...
Alisha RamosMarch 17, 2011
Two arepas are definitely enough for one (although I'm small)! My favorite was the one with plantains. DELICIOUS. Appetizers are great too.
Taha EbrahimiFebruary 22, 2010

Little known secret: If you love the sauce, they sell it for $7 a bottle if you ask for it. If you like plantains, you will agree with my favorites: De Pabellon and La Mulata. The Pabellon also comes

always start w a pabellon and go from there. apply secret sauce liberally and wash down w a jugo de maracuya
Nishanth ChariMarch 26, 2014
La surena, de pabellon, and a michelada. And loads of their delicious yellow sauce
Chen Yang LhoJanuary 28, 2018
Spicy mango sauce on the table is da bomb! Can't get enough of it!
Zack BeattyMay 25, 2012
Vegetarian/vegan tip: step beyond the (V)-labelled arepas, and substitute tofu for meat in ANY non-(V) arepa.
Aileen TseDecember 11, 2012
have tried almost everything but la de pernil and la Mulata are my favorite arepas
Abhishek SenOctober 3, 2015
Amazing Arepas! Hot fresh flavors...true taste of NYC
Lindsay BrookeMarch 4, 2018
Authentic and delicious! Must come.
ᴡ ReinfordApril 12, 2013
the homemade chips and guac is amazing. i always order too much here - 2 arepas is probably plenty.
Henrique SalesFebruary 17, 2016
The arepas are really good. Playa Deluxe is my favorite.
Sofia PapastamelosNovember 1, 2016
Best arepas! Two should be plenty to fill you up.

You MUST order the La Del Gato. Even meat-eaters love it. Read more
Paull YoungJanuary 3, 2013
Everything is great here & worth the wait, if in doubt go for an arepa with plantains!
Hadley HolmesJune 7, 2016
Terrific lunch special. Pabellon is by far the best--bring on the sauce!
Stefano CalzolariOctober 17, 2014
Stop by for a quick bite and a drink. Enjoy the cosy music and good service.
