    I think this restaurant should give more meat with their rice entrees. We got two shredded beef, rice, black beans, and plaintain meals that were $13.50. My photo shows one of the meals and the portion of meat is so tiny. It's a shame because it tasted so good. The empanadas tasted great and were a nice size. The arepa was kind of small. I got a seafood arepa. You'd have to get 2 empanadas and one arepa to really feel full. We got two shredded beef meals, 1 empanada, 1 arepa, and 1 small flan for $50.

    I had passed this restaurant so many times and finally got around to trying it. The food was DELICIOUS. The arepas were incredibly fresh and warm. The fresh juice was amazing. The staff were kind and helpful in explaining dishes. The restaurant was cozy, and I loved the music and bright colours. Made me feel like I was on a vacation! Definitely a must try in Harrisburg. If you are a pickier eater, I highly recommend the arepa Reina Pepiada with chicken, avocado and mayonnaise.

    Finding an arepa place here was fantastic. They have all the Venezuelan food products from queso de mano to Pan and other desserts. I had the cachapa which is a sweet arepa perfectly balanced with the saltiness of the Venezuelan queso de mano, with some butter. I highly recommend a try-- alongside the typical arepas. I also had the parcha (maracuya) juice. I especially loved the cashier was wearing a typical dress with the flag.

    This is located in the city so we needed to park on the street, there was not too much parking. But the staff was very friendly and it was easy to order over the phone. I ordered the chicken empanada and the paisa arepa. One order of the empanada only comes with one empanada. The flavor of the outside of the empanada was sweet and tasty but that was basically all there was to my empanada. It had hardly any filling whatsoever which I was not happy about, considering how expensive it is for a singular empanada. I wish they had just put more chicken filling into it. However, the paisa arepa was stuffed!! It had a ton of filling and was delicious!! Overall I enjoyed the food here as it was extremely tasty, it was just too expensive for the amount they give you. If I come again, I'd stick to just the paisa arepa since it was super filling! I also tried both of their drink options and both were delicious! The sugar cane lime refresher was my favorite but their rice drink was also tasty. I was expecting their rice drink to be similar to horchata but it was definitely different, as it had a thicker consistency.

    Food was so flavorful! And the lady who took my order was very nice and helpful! I had the Pabellon with shredded beef and the chicken empanada. Amazing! I was in Harrisburg for work but I can't wait to go back just for this place!

    Cute little place ! Very clean and friendly. They have indoor seating and out door. We waited about 30 mins for out food, but they were busy with inside seating. They speak both Spanish and English. Which is very nice ! The prices aren't too bad. K enjoyed mine with had beef, sweet plantain, black beans . My husband got chicken with avocado in it . I would definitely come back here.

    My wife and I were STOKED to have arepas in Harrsiburg again! Presently surprised and couldn't resist ordering almost everything on the menu ... everything was tasty and we were not disappointed. The arepas themselves were different (less "crispy" ) than the last place Ina the Burg ... but still tasty The apps (thought they were apps) we ordered were a little pricey for what we got, but again .... everything is authentic and made to order ... it's worth it ... go.

    The bright yellow sign is a beacon to delicious food. Cute little Venezuelan place near the Capitol with extremely friendly staff. Arepas are stuffed fresh when you order. I ordered the hearty and filling La Paisa Arepas and a fresh lime drink made with cane sugar. The arepa was stuffed full of meast and beans and served with a deliciously garlic avocado sauce. Great lunch stop with a back dining room or seats outside in the sidewalk. This is a small family owned business that you can feel good about supporting.

    Nice surprise. I didn't know what to get. The Reina Pepiada sounded good. I was not expecting what I got. Almost like a chicken salad sangawich, but not. It was ground up Chicken and Avocado and Mayo. The erepa was filled with this chicken mix. The taste was great. I just wanted something for lunch, and this was just right. Trust me, this was good stuff. The ladies can cook.

    The green sauce is so good I could put that on everything!!! The Arepa was filled and seasoned delicious but it's definitely overpriced!!!

    This is a no brainer!!! You gotta stop in if you're anywhere remotely close or in the area!…read more This is tucked away between a major highway and a Costco shopping area. Very simple to get to and quite a decent amount of parking. I went on a Saturday Afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all, but it should be with how amazing the food is! Vibes were pretty dope. Lots of outdoor seating and some music playing. Ordered the Pernil Arepa, Chicken Rice Bowl, and Pulled Pork Rice Bowl. If you're afraid of flavor, this is not for you, because the flavors were amazing! And you can customize your bowls with add one to your liking such as roasted corn, avocado, cheese, plantains and more! Loved it and will definitely make it part of my itinerary whenever I'm in the area.

    When we visited Lancaster, we had to stop by Chellas Arepa Kitchen, and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype. The food is a delicious mix of Peruvian and Venezuelan flavors, and you can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. Their arepas are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with flavorful fillings. Everything felt comforting yet unique at the same time. One thing I really appreciated is that the entire menu is 100% gluten free, but honestly, you wouldn' even notice because the food is just that good. Also, don't be deceived if the food doesn't look super "picture perfect" online or in photos (or at least my photos lol). It may not be the most photogenic food, but it's sooo worth it! I actually ordered almost everything on the menu because I had no idea when I'd be back in Lancaster again . My favorite was the fried rice with chicken and plantains, so flavorful and satisfying! My husband's favorite was the Lomo Saltado Bowl and Pernil Arepa. We also loved the yuca fries, which were perfectly crispy without being overly greasy. The only thing that disappointed me a little was the Esquites. It just didn't stand out and probably wouldn't order it again. Parking is limited and there's outdoor seating only.
