    Great first experience. We just walked in and scored great service, great drinks, and great food. They have live music Fridays and Saturdays (nights, but double check). Highly recommend, we will be back.

    got fajita mixed the first time and this time decided to get the grill chicken beef platter and opted with no chorizo. personally preferred the fajita more it had more flavors compared to the one dimensional platter. still very delicious this is a top tier spot definitely check it out i give it a 10/10 A+ hidden gem. service is so polite and kind and the ambiance is gorgeous just go here trust me

    The food was really good. The service was fast. Excellent place to go with family and friends. I went with the kids and we really enjoyed it.

    I've been a patron of the other shop that they've had in town for years now. I finally got around to checking this place out a few weeks ago and I've must've been back at least 6 times. The food is great, the service is top notch and they have TV's everywhere. This is an excellent venue to chow down and enjoy whatever sporting event is on at the time. I frequently come here solo but this is a great place for groups. It'll be a great first date spot too . If you've never had Venezuelan food before, start with an arepa and an empanada.

    I have been eating from the original location for quite some time now... The empanadas have always been a fan favorite of mine. I'm so happy for the owners for opening and expanding this business because it is truly deserved. This new location is very clean, spacious, and a total vibe. The menu is absolutely huge which is always a plus when you come to a restaurant hungry. If you haven't tried this spot yet, you are definitely missing out. I always get cravings for this food and I'm so grateful that it's close enough for delivery and to drive to. The sauces are out of this world especially the green one, I can't remember the name lol but all I know is I would drink it by the gallon if I could. All of the sauces pair so perfectly with all of the amazing food choices. The bar at the spot is also really beautiful. 10/10!

    I have walked past this restaurant a few times and finally decided to give it a try. It wasn't too busy but had a festive vibe. We decided to just try some appetizers and they were flavorful. Whatever is in that pink sauce is divine!

    Food is very good and flavorful. Natural juices are great as well. They are a new restaurant so more attention needs to be done when taking down ordered, however, customer service is great and I would come back!!

    I've had good experiences with the restaurant as far as dine in and pick up orders however today a delivery order really turned me off from this restaurant and makes me doubt that I will continue to support this business. I made an order that was due to arrive by 6pm, the order arrived shortly before this but with one problem, it was the wrong order. So I called up the restaurant and explained the issue, I was told your order is here and the driver will deliver it, no apology for the mix up. One hour after calling I called again and was told that my order is there and I could pick it up, I explained that I wouldn't pick it up because I paid for delivery, then he told me I could call door dash myself, I explained that I ordered directly through their website so I wouldn't be calling door dash. My wife and I waited for a dinner that finally arrived one hour and a half after it was supposed to arrive. And while it's understandable that things happen from time to time with deliveries and orders, I can't accept the poor customer service and bad attitudes. The food here is great but unfortunately this place doesn't deserve my business.

    We stopped here to get some lunch before heading over the Citi Field for a night game. This place impressed me! We'd never had Venezuelan cuisine before, so it was a fun new place to try, and it was incredible! The manager Alex came up, and shook my hand and introduced himself. He was bright, positive, and very helpful explaining the menu. He is what all managers should strive to be! The vibe was great. Upbeat music with nice lighting and a fair amount of seating. I can definitely see this place bumping at night! As a tourist, I am not sure I'll be able to return, but we will try! I'd recommend this to anyone! It was, AMAZING!

    Venezuelan food has grown to be my favorite and we usually go to hole in the wall spots for the most authentic food. I was pleasantly surprised with Arepa Mania Bar and Grill. The ambiance was amazing, staff was friendly, and food was even better than I could have asked for. We started with the appetizer sampler which included small tapa size finger foods. The empanadas were fresh, the shredded beef was by far my favorite though. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. For the main course we opted for the classic cachapa. The sweet cachapa and savory meat was the perfect blend! At our table we also had the Res soup which our friends raved about, as well as an arepa. To top it off the cilantro garlic dip served with it brought the flavor to new heights! We finished off with flans which were the perfect texture and decadent. We will definitely be returning.

    Hottest new spot In New Rochelle! This place has it all! Live music, great food, beautiful layout and fun staff! I drove by and saw this place recently opened so I stopped in for a drink and the owner came out and gave me a tour and welcomed me with opened arms, then took the time to sit with me and chat. The music was awesome and wasn't too loud, but enough to make you enjoy yourself. The food comes out in these intricate platters that obviously took a lot of time and effort from the staff to impress their customers. I really enjoyed coming here and am going back this weekend with some friends for more.

    We just tried this new restaurant and absolutely loved it! Very kind and polite servers, unbelievable food and tastes so can only recommend it! We will definitely be back!

    We chose this place for a family lunch because it looked pretty good. The first difficulties appeared when we started ordering food. The waiter did not understand English at a basic level and had to repeat the order several times, and repeat the word Coces several times because the waiter did not understand what it meant. They also did not immediately bring water, it also had to be ordered separately and explained for a long time. As a result, we were brought 3 Cokes, a glass of water and ..... and.... attention...4 VODKA Grey goos!!!!! Where she heard that we were talking about vodka, I don't know! The food was greasy and tasteless. It's amazing who it is at all. As a result, I paid $ 80 for four of them. I was dissatisfied with neither the service nor the food. none of the four people. they naturally left a tip, but I absolutely did not want to. I don't understand how you can hire people who don't understand English. You didn't open a restaurant in Mexico!

This was DoorDash, so keep this in mind. Delivery took FOREVER, so that could have affected the food. Also, I was working, so I was intermittently trying to stuff my mouth while completing documentation, meetings, and other tasks. I got several types of empanadas. Shredded chicken, cheese, shredded beef, pollo. My pollo mechado (chicken and cheese) and carne mechada/queso (shredded beef and cheese) were cancelled, as they were out of stock. I also got the club house pollo, which was disappointing, but that might have been affected by the fact it was delivered rather than consumed in-house. Made with grilled chicken, egg, bacon, cheese, ham, and accompanied by French fries, the sandwich fell flat for me. Pretty sure it would have been better hot and fresh, so I wouldn't deter anyone from trying it. But it could have used some seasoning. People rave about this Venezuelan place, so by all means try it . . . they have breakfast platters and sandwiches (mostly various combos of bacon, egg, cheese, ham), arepas, Venezuelan hotdogs. Other hot sandwiches like the Cubano and Philly cheese steak (but let's be honest--your corner bodega is better). Multiple types of burritos and other Venezuelan fast foods. Again . . . please try this place, especially in person. My food was delivered and took a long time, which again, isn't optimal. I'm not a fan of corn casings, which is a preference thing and a *redacted word that rhymes with bingo* thing, I am so embarrassed I can't make myself love corn tortillas and empanadas. And the mood was off, I was working. The empanadas, regardless taking so long, were delivered HOT! From what I read, the brick and mortar restaurant is clean, calm, and enjoyable, and they have a huge variety of Venezuelan dishes. Don't listen to me, and give it a try yourself, especially in person, not by delivery!

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a staff member who was very welcoming. We ordered an arepa with shredded beef, yoyos with grilled chicken, and a chicha. Everything was delicious! Just be prepared to get a little messy. It's not exactly a first date spot lol. The chicha was especially good. It's a bit thick, which makes it feel more like a dessert drink. It tasted just like rice pudding, which I loved. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu.

At first i didnt understand why then I realized they were donations for Venezuela victims from the earthquakes which was nice. My sister ordered me the Venezuelan sandwich "pepito" with chicken and steak. The sandwich was very good and tasty. It was a big serving and tasted like it was made with love. However, when my dad went to pay the bill at the end they tried to charge an operating fee of $7. My dad complained thats illegal and the lady tried to say its a fee to maintain the space. I never heard of an operating fee anywhere and for that I took off 1.5 stars. Please eliminate that fee if you want to keep customers because the food was great!
