The La Maluta. Grilled white cheese with jalapeños, black beans, sauteed red peppers and fried sweet plantains. Delicious!
Serious EatsMarch 15, 2013
A neighborhood favorite for spicy, saucy Venezuelan sandwiches. Gets cramped and noisy during peak hours.
Elizabeth OtaolaJune 27, 2015
This place is life. Tequenos and Any arepa with guayanes cheese is a good choice
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.
Alina K.September 4, 2011
Get the reina pepiada arepa and try one of their home-made juices. And don't leave without some guasacaca or cachapas...some truly authentic Venezuelan fare.
Danny TrejoNovember 15, 2016
This place is small but worth the wait. The arepas are made from scratch and so good!
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.
estherSeptember 7, 2014
Excellent service, pretty good food--not the typical burger or sandwich lunch but a Venezuelan arepa (y)
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!

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...
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
Linh (Kelly) NguyenNovember 22, 2014
Great for a weekend brunch, short wait, Venezuelan style
Zev Levit-RamosJune 21, 2015
All of the arepas are amazing. Make sure to get the Muichilada beer cocktail

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

Absolute must try for arepas! Very cozy inside with tight and limited seating.

So delicious. The homemade shells are to die for. Surprisingly filling though--you only need one!
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.
Natalie VNovember 16, 2015
Delicious! Love the one with shredded beef, cheese, beans and plantains.
Eric CohenDecember 3, 2017
Used to best the best arepas in Ny. Now they are soso
GaryApril 16, 2013
Great Venezuelan arepas with a lot of variety. The place is small and gets busy in the evenings.

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

Can't go wrong with La Sureña or La Del Gato. And make sure to grab their special sauce for every bite!
Lizzy SaxeNovember 16, 2014
Get the coconut shake and go with friends so that you can try lots of different arepas.
ᴡ ReinfordApril 12, 2013
the homemade chips and guac is amazing. i always order too much here - 2 arepas is probably plenty.
Snooty WaiterAugust 20, 2011
Over an hour wait but two doors down is there take out spot that also has some seating. You might be able to grab a seat there. Friend Snooty Waiter on Facebook for NYC dining info.

Try the Arepa Pelúa - This is one of the juiciest Arepas they have. Beef w/ cheddar cheese. Outstanding flavor
karen schoellkopfSeptember 8, 2012
something i did not realize: you can make any of the vegetarian arepas vegan, tofu for cheese. delicious!!!
TaylorAugust 9, 2014
If it's crowded or a long wait, go two doors down to the To Go outpost, which has some small tables.
Maxime BuryMarch 16, 2015
So many tasty arepas. La de pernil is a favorite. Get two if you're hungry.
Sofia PapastamelosNovember 1, 2016
Best arepas! Two should be plenty to fill you up.
Hadley HolmesJune 7, 2016
Terrific lunch special. Pabellon is by far the best--bring on the sauce!
Giuseppe TurittoAugust 7, 2016
Authentic Venezuelan food, is like going to Caracas and stop by an Arepera
Michael MuseSeptember 10, 2014
The house sauce is left on the bar - its awesome, definitely try it
Zack BeattyMay 25, 2012
Vegetarian/vegan tip: step beyond the (V)-labelled arepas, and substitute tofu for meat in ANY non-(V) arepa.
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
Grace BarrMay 10, 2018
fried cheese & beef arepas
Stefano CalzolariOctober 17, 2014
Stop by for a quick bite and a drink. Enjoy the cosy music and good service.
Nishanth ChariMarch 26, 2014
La surena, de pabellon, and a michelada. And loads of their delicious yellow sauce
Paull YoungJanuary 3, 2013
Everything is great here & worth the wait, if in doubt go for an arepa with plantains!

Order de pabellon arepa.. so delicious. Also, try the passion fruit juice.. it comes in a jar and is the best passion fruit juice around!
Ann LongAugust 10, 2010
Papelon, the perfect summer drink. #20 arepa, the La Surena. Obleas, tiny bit of dulce de leche sandwiched between 2 wafers, a tiny piece of heaven in every bite.
Allison EspositoMarch 21, 2014
Lots of great vegetarian options but the La Del Gato and La Mulata are faves.
Matthew HartsoughApril 19, 2016
The whole menu is great. Try the takeout side if it's too crowded.
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.
Aileen TseDecember 11, 2012
have tried almost everything but la de pernil and la Mulata are my favorite arepas
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015
The arepas are small for the price they charge and though the flavor combinations sound amazing in theory, I'm constantly underwhelmed with the flavor
Henrique SalesFebruary 17, 2016
The arepas are really good. Playa Deluxe is my favorite.
Danya JimenezDecember 17, 2016
Only the small take-out is open so come with plenty of time to wait.
