Never heard of an arepa? Start with plantain chips and guac and get the de pollo with cheddar, caramelized onions, and chicken. Mmm.

Delicious food for a reasonable price and the service is great. The servers are super nice as well.

Lunch special for 8.50 on weekday is an arepa+soup/salad, to stay or go. Awesome and delicious.

Small and seemingly always busy, Caracas Arepa Bar in East Village is "devoted to the pleasures of homemade Venezuelan food." Read more

Outstanding. Snack on plantains and guac under the every watchful eye of a Chavez bobblehead.

It gives me an authentic taste of home, however it's overpriced/understaffed. I think they're actually trying to suppress demand. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Their De Pabellón Arepa is by far the best thing you can put in your mouth in that neighborhood!

Best ever. Sauce is awesome. Love the Surena
MalinaJuly 15, 2013
Used to love this place...spent 70$ in take out and they forgot an arepa. In 95 degree heat, not worth it. Love affair over.

I love that they make Tinto de Veranos--such a simple pleasure in warm weather. (Red wine and Spanish soda.)

Get the del Gato. One if you're hungry, two if you're starving, three if you're crazy.

The Williamsburg one is significantly better!

Not what you might think of when you think arepas, but this is how the Venezuelans do it.
