The restaurant knows that good taste trumps trends. Food came out looking and tasting perfect. Staff members at Arepa Mania welcomed even our fussy eater. In addition to good dishes, the mood is excellently set. This place maintains consistent standards. read more

This place closed down others so a different restaurant there now but the food was great it's a shame it closed

So I came here with my two kids and one of their friends who was with us because we were leaving our Airbnb and wanted to try something new so we came here. The ambiance is nice, very cultured, the service wasn't mean at all but certainly not the most customer service oriented. So my daughters friend just had 2 empanadas, my daughter had one empanada and a plate of meat with beans rice n an eggs that literally looked like something I could have made at home (priced at $16) and my son had the pabellon arepa and I had a pernil Cachapas. The kids all had a passion fruit juice and I had a sugar cane juice with lemon. My kids liked their food and I loved my cachapa it was delicious, but my juice just tasted like a lemon iced tea and then I got 5 small chocolate things for dessert at the counter when we checked out, tell me why my bill was $109! In my personal opinion everything is waaaay to overpriced for what you get. I don't think we will be coming here again. read more

the best arepa's & venezuelan fresh food! deliciouso! great service, great people, great atmosphere

My Family and i went here to dine for mothers day. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:45 and left at 8 pm and we never received our entrees. The food we did try was decent tostones were old and super thin, you could tell by their hard texture. They never gave us silverware until we asked. After our apps were cleared we waited and a server kept coming up to us to check on us and they kept telling us the kitchen refused to make our meal. Quite honestly it was extremely unprofessional they added an auto gratuity on there which we weren't going to fight about because we clearly just understood it was bad management and hospitality skills were lacking all around. the women at the bar who was helping us out apologized and said she's sorry for ruining my mother and grandmothers mothers day. I honestly was looking forward to becoming a regular customer but unfortunately, their food was decent but service was awful. I think the correct move was to communicate through the beginning that the food didn't have our ticket and print a new one and give it to the kitchen. Do not recommend this restaurant for service at all. read more

This place is hands-down, so good. Are usually get the Arepa with chicken and avocado and it is so delicious and so simple. I also usually get rice and beans and plantains and some empanadas. Everything is so delicious. You can tell that it's very authentic and it's very quick and easy to get. The service is very friendly and fast. I usually do take out from this place but they do have some seating, but it's very minimal. read more

Okay so the service is friendly the place is clean & the portions are decent. But I ordered a medium sized passion fruit juice two arepas - 1 with chicken & cheese and the other with beef and cheese. Solid fare good taste but almost 24$ later and I felt like it was too expensive for only 2 arepas and a medium sized drink. If the prices weren't so damn ludicrous I'd go back. read more

I paid 16+ dollars for this. Please look closely at this picture. Simply opened this plate and it was untouched and look how this looks, like someone ate from it. The maduros (sweet plantains) given was one and a half. I'm actually pretty livid about this. Taste was disgusting. I had hope as usually smaller business tend to have better authentic tastes but this was bottom tier. I made a mistake in which I never make with this restaurant, which was not opening it up prior to making my exit. Absolutely never again. read more

Arepa Mania - Bistek Lunch - Venezuelan Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

I wanted something different and my coworker mentioned a place she tried the day before. It is definitely different and what I was in the mood for so "Arepa Mania" was on the menu. It's a small restaurant with lots of energy. The restaurant itself was clean and modern. They had digital boards promoting there new location and menu items. We were greeted by a wonderful young lady. She laughed and joked with us about how good my Spanish was. Once we ordered, we sat down and waited. Another employee came over and told us they were in business for six years and were excited about there new location. We took cards and wished them luck. When the empanadas came out, there was a bit of a hiccup, but they got things right and we left with our lunch. When I say this I mean this with respect, when I took the first bite I knew it was different. The taste stood out, in a good way. The outside was made of cornmeal and not tortilla. This gave the empanada a unique taste and it worked. I was insanely sold! They gave two different sauces as well. They two were delicious. I didn't know which I like dipping in more. It was definitely a place I would recommend. With food and service this good, it's no wonder why they are expanding. read more

Arepa Mania offers up a nice selection of arepas for any of your cravings. I enjoyed their Arepa De Pabellon, which was filled with beef, black beans, sweet plantains, avocado and shredded cheese. The size and flavors were just right. The Arepa Queso De Mano was a little disappointing and wasn't quite what I expected based on the description. Overall, a solid experience. read more

My new favorite restaurant!!! AUTHENTIC VENEZUELAN FOOD! I got the PABELLON CRIOLLO which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND with frescolita soda . My man got a Patacon sandwich with passion fruit juice & was very happy with taste and portion size of the food. Presentation on point! Food was delicious . We were very happy with the food & Finished everything. Very good vibe here . The owner & workers here were very nice & made us feel comfortable. Loved the ambiance of the place. I'm half venezuelan and I was happy to see the restaurant was decorated with the Venezuelan flag & colors, Venezuelan hats , and salsa music was playing which I can appreciate. My pabellon criollo was sooo delicious I been craving it ever since. Definitely coming back here to eat with my family. Arepa mania has definitely gained me as a regular customer! 5 stars! read more

The best arepas in New York, the cachapas are so good. I recommend Arepa mania. Why do I need 85

This spot reminded me of my youth! I grew up in Washington Heights, and after a night out, there was a Food Truck right off 10th ave in i wood that introduced these delicacy's from Venezuela! I had a combinations of this such as The Patacon Mixto, Cachapas, Palito de Queso ( Cheese Sticks).... All of it absolutely amazing! This will be a future favorite! read more

Always a stop whenever I go to CT! The best tequeños and empanadas Next time I'll try something else like pepito....love that they sell Venezuelan snacks and products that are not easy to find. Definitely recommend read more

There was a point in time where I ate lunch at Arepa Mania at least 4 days a week. They have the most amazing lunch specials which are very nutritious and well portioned for a hard working person or someone who is looking to get in good shape. The grilled chicken, black beans rice and plantain combo always hits home for me. For those of you who want to be a bit more adventurous, you should try the patacon. I personally am a big fan of the vegetarian one, which but you can't go wrong with any of them. If this store were to just sell one thing though, it would be the cachapa. Wow! Is this a dessert? Is it an appetizer? Is it the main course? I don't know but what I will say is that you'd be a fool if you didn't order one. Order it plain with Venezuelan cheese. Enjoy! read more

Arepa Mania - the front of a restaurant - Venezuelan Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

Upon arrival, my family and I were greeted by the sweetest Venezuelan woman ever! She answered all our questions and concerns with a big smile. We ordered mixed cachapas (beef, chicken, and cheese), a mixed patacon, and tequeños (basically a better version of a mozzarella stick). GET THE TEQUEÑOS! 2 orders and you regret it. Everything came out hot and fresh and very promptly. I was blown away to say the least. But because of the great service I've got to give this little shop 5+ stars. Prices were great and food was comparable and better than other Venezuelan places we have been to. Pro tip: Put the pink sauce on everything! read more

I've been to Arepa Mania a handful of times since it opened and it never disappoints. I was there this past weekend again and was waited on by the owner. It's a small place and I believe it's family run. Every one is friendly and service is great This time I had an Arepa stuffed with pernil,which is slow roasted pork. It also had black beans and cheese in it. It was outstanding. The pork was tender and perfectly seasoned. I also had an empanada stuffed with beef,delicious. I strongly recommend this restaurant the food is great and the prices are reasonable. Also many items are gluten free including the Arepas and empanadas. read more

Great authentic Venezuelan food. I would highly recommend Arepa Mania to anyone who wants delicious Venezuelan food and very friendly service to go with it. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Food is always fresh, service is great, and of course, delicious! My favorites are cachapa with meat and cheese, and the empanada de paballon (beef, cheese, black beans, AND sweet plantain.. yum) Don't forget to try their amazing sauces and drinks! read more

This review is going to be somewhat biased mostly because I don't like arepas. Typically they're never spicy enough and they always have a bread that's too I don't know what the word for it is buttery. It's not my deal. But I would say the arepa I had was flavorful and also had plenty stacked on it. 10 bucks though? Really I'm thinking a lil too expensive. read more

The food is good, but Yelp offered me 20% off and they did not redeem it. They had to call somebody and I just wouldn't recommend to come here in a rush. read more

Seasoned and stuffed to perfection. And the staff was so accommodating. I was incredibly appreciative in the service and the quality of food is unmatched! read more

Both in and take out dining - and everyone who came in was actually Venezuelan, so that was good news! I got the roast pork and cheese cachapa.. it was delicious though admittedly very filling! read more

100/10. The food here is incredible. I've ordered from here mannnnnyyyy times. Never disappoints. All of the arepas are good & don't even get me started on the dipping sauces! read more

Really enjoyed the cachapas and tajadas. Wish there wasn't as much packaging as all of them could've been carried out without the foam containers. No need for utensils either! read more

Was in the mood for some traditional Venezuelan food and came to this location close to home. The employee was nice and helpful on recommending traditional Venezuelan plates. Got the Arepa De Pabellon and the Tequenos, which were filling and pretty tasty. On yelp there was an offer that if you checked in to this location you would be able to get 20% off your order. The employee did not know how to do this and said we have to order through seamless. She said her boss did not train her on this which was very inconvenient. Besides that I would recommend this location for Venezuelan food. read more

Ordered from here on seamless earlier this week. I was so impressed at the quality of the food. A little pricey but definitely worth the treat. So fresh, tasty and mmmmm. First time I've ordered Arepas in NY and saw fresh corn in the masarepa. Fantastic! read more

TLDR: I would order from here for delivery again. Good but heavy Venezuelan food! Overall rating: B+ Tried Arepa Mania delivery again and it was much better than my first attempt. What we got: -Hamburguesa de Carne $8.50 (Beef, lettuce, tomato, bacon, ham, egg, American cheese, chips, ketchup, mayo, garlic sauce, mustard with a side of French fries.): So good! Highly recommended! Everything went really well together. Very heavy though. They serve soggy crinkle cut fries, but that might be because it was delivery. Not sure what the "chips" ingredient refers to. A -Patacon de Pernil $8.50 (Roast pork, lettuce, tomato, boiled eggs, cheese, ham, ketchup, mayo, garlic sauce, mustard): Finally pernil is back on the menu! They even used the proper tostones style plantains (vs the sweet plantains they used last time yuck!). The plantain bread was still crispy! Very good when done properly. A -4 Tequeños $3.50: Not sure what I expected but it wasn't as good as I imagined it to be. A little bland to me. Probably better at the restaurant instead of delivery. Wish they had a spicy dipping sauce for this! B read more

I really enjoyed everything. My favorite was the cachapa con queso venezolano y pollo (add on lettuce & tomatoe) *chefs kiss*. My daughter could probably eat 100 tequenos pequeños if I'd let her. That salsa de ajo is a hit!!! Yes it's a bit pricey but the food is fresh and portions are decent. I highly recommend. read more

Found this place by accident. My husband being from Venezuela we always try and find the Venezuelan spots you can never have enough arepas. The restaurant is small and cozy very inviting. The menu selection was good had your typical Venezuelan dishes and appetizers. I was happy to the arepas were baked and not fried. Arepas were nice size and tasty. I would definitely go back. Their guasacaca sauce (green garlic sauce) was on point. We will definitely be back! Oh and we bought a box of "cocosette" to take home YUMMY! read more

Listen, more and more Venezuelan restaurants are popping up in the North East and many are just half good. But this little eatery in New Rochelle it's one that takes my 5 stars. As soon as we came in the place was booming with business on the phone and via Uber eats. I had empanadas which looked very similars to the ones I had in Venezuela, their taste where off the hook, texture and ingredients were just right. Cachapas are made with real corn, and that's a plus, not that fake ingredients one. I do recommend it to those looking for an authentic Venezuelan flavor. read more

From a Venezuelan perspective this food is amazing. The service is good and the people are Venezuelan so they know what they are doing. I always come for cachapas with Venezuelan cheese, the batter is amazing! How it is supposed to be! The tequeños are really nice too. Highly recommended. My girlfriend loves her pabellon enpanada, they stuff it with beans and plantains which makes a very filling meal. The juices are really good too, we always get parchita juice. I havent tried their arepas cuz i always lile to get tje things we dont eat at home. Keep doing a good job and thank you for the great food!! read more

Clean place and friendly service, but the prices are high for what it is. The reina peplada (shredded chicken with mayo and avocado) was good, as was the arepa de pabellon (shredded beef, black beans, avocado and cheese), but the pabellon had way too much cheese, which actually kind of ruined it for me. I've had many arepas in my life, and I've never seen one loaded with cheese like this. Also, we got two sodas with our to-go order and we opened them in the car....It seems that they were cool to the touch, but hot when we opened them, which caused the soda overflowed onto our laps and clothing. I wouldn't say not to try it, but if I come back, I'd probably skip the arepa and get the platter, because the beans and beef were actually flavorful. I'd also get the reina peplada arepa (which doesn't have cheese) again, or I'd request that they not overdo the cheese on any cheese containing arepas. read more

I don't know why so many people rant and rave about this place maybe because it's different maybe because it's unique maybe because there's not very arepa places in new Rochelle. Went in there last week and picked up a few things. Had a coupon from checking in for 20% off first order when I showed it to the lady at the register she told me sorry we don't honor that even though it's on their yelp page. Maybe if you don't offer coupons maybe you should get the coupon taken down from your yelp page. Anyways back to the food I ordered three different arepas Two empanadas And some Venezuelan cheese sticks kind of like mozzarella sticks. Those were very good but then again how can you mess up fried cheese. The empanadas were pretty good. But the Arepas Were mediocre at best. Bottom line I've had better and there customer service is piss poor. read more

An unassuming little spot you would likely miss along North Ave in New Rochelle. Stopped in to get a bite to eat for my little one and decided to stay bc the food looked so good. Tried the carne mechada cachapa, which is basically a sandwich made out of a sweet corn pancake slathered with butter, a mild mozzarella type cheese, and seasoned shredded beef. Eat that sucker with a fork and knife. It is a meal on its own. Very filling and oh so yummy. The husband got a pabellon plate which is black beans with white rice, a fried egg, shredded beef and sweet plantains. And my son ordered a roast pork pepito, which is a Venezuelan hero. I also tried an arepa filled with black beans and cheese, called the domino. I am pretty much going to tell everyone I know about this place and come back for seconds, thirds, fourths... There are places like this popping up in Manhattan. It's nice to see one here in Westchester. Awesome food on a budget for those feeling brokey broke or want to take it easy on the wallet. read more
