Food was flavorful indeed! Fresh and simple gyro with fresh veggies and fulfilling portion of meat. The pabellon was delicious! I would order that over and over again. The cheeseburger was tasty, but pricey for literally a burger only. The music made for an energetic dining experience! High top seating available along with in and outside table options, Warning- if you order at the kiosk, he said they don't see your drink order for some reason... I had to ask for them. read more

Seriously delicious. We've only ordered take out and have been blown away each time. The shredded meats are full of flavor and juicy and tender. I could drink the cilantro sauce lol. Make sure you have plenty of napkins because it can get messy but it's oh so good. Favorite: Jax Blonde Pro Tip: Get a side of the hot sauce read more

I found this place on Yelp after leaving Naval Station Mayport. The reviews and salads offered swayed me to try it and I was not disappointed! The service was excellent and the Gyro meat was some really of the best I've ever had! The seating area is small with only two tables and a bar area. There are a couple outside tables too for nice days. I saved it in my collection for a future return trip. Enjoy! read more

Such a cute spot. Yelp has never steered us wrong. Arepa please got great reviews and I can see why. I asked for recommendation because I couldn't choose which arepa to try. Without hesitation they said the special is the pabellon. The meat was juicy tender and perfectly seasoned. The tequenos were also fantastic. read more

I love love love this place!!! The food is great! The ambience is quiet and quaint, whilst very Latin. The people who work inside are kind and the recommendation the hostess put me on to was to die for. I came late last night with my two teenage nephews hungry and in a hurry to eat something yummy. Arepa Please is one of my go-to spots to bring visiting families. So, just as years passed, we stopped in to try something new. I ordered the gyro salad for the first time alongside cachapas and a hot cafe con leche per the instructions of the hostess. Everything came out well presented, seasoned and portioned. The boys enjoyed a burger (that didn't last long at the table) and a burrito so good the other one was long sleep in the car on the way home. Go here! And their riverside location! That's all. read more

I was hungry late late night and decided to give this place a try since I really like arepas. Also I really like how vibrant the restaurant looks from the outside. I just got one vegan arepa. When I ordered my food was ready very quickly. And when I took it out it was really hot. I was shocked by how much filling they packed into it. And their portion are very generous! I ordered the guacamole and beans and oh man! They packed in like 2 avocados into my arepa! It looked like mostly avocado. But I later found out the beans just fell to the bottom. But oh man I really enjoyed eating it! The straps was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the filling was very flavorful. I really liked the green sauce that came with it. Totally recommend this spot right by the beach! read more

This was my first visit to the new AREPAPLEASE Atlantic Beach location. I decided to try an arepa I hadn't had yet & went with the Porko Loco (slow-cooked pork marinated in red wine, queso blanco). It was delicious! The pork was so flavorful and tender. My friend went with her usual, the Fancy Monkey (fried plantains, queso blanco, black beans, avocado). I tried a bite and it was great too. The arepas are huge so be prepared to leave with a to-go box. My friend's arepa had what looked like an entire small avocado in hers. read more

Shared parking lot gets a little busy, but you might get lucky. Also, might depend on the day/time. We went at noon on a Sunday, my friend got front row parking, we got lucky someone was leaving as we drove around the lot. Score! Seating is limited. Small space, but they made it work! Two tables in the front can seat group of 4s, the other seating is a bar top along the right side, with view of Atlantic Blvd. The sun might get hot in the afternoon (just a heads up), but they do have a sunshade. There are also a few small tables out front. Super cute decor along the walls. Order at the register. My friend got the Tequenos to share. Yummm. Think of it like mozzarella sticks, but Venezuelan style. Hehe. I got the Pabellon Arepa, yummmm. So flavorful and they fill it to overflow. I like the arepa, it's not too thick and grainy (like some places). I also got the chicken empanada, just because. Yes, it was a lot of food and I took other half home. I like the hats, too. Fun little spot definitely worth checking out! Oh! And they have the good ice! #iykyk Hehe. Yes, please. read more

This new place is awesome. I have passed it many times and did not realize it was a restaurant. Luckily, my husband took me here to try it. It's a smaller location, with minimal seating, BUT SO WORTH THE VISIT. I ordered the queen. The young lady taking my order explained it would be served on a crunchy bread-type thing similar to a mix of cornbread and English muffin. Weird thought, but she was right. It was thin and crunchy and so, so good. The Queen is a Venezuelan chicken sandwich with avocado, and it came with a green liquid side. Do not know what it was, but it totally needed to be put on my sandwich. My husband got the Pabellon. He's a man of few words, saying it was great, and we will be coming back. We also ordered Yuka fries. I loved them. They were cooked evenly, and they were better than my husband's but I will never tell him that. Another favorite thing about this place for me was all the different types of handing art but all the subjects had on a white scarf with red dots. I wish I knew the meaning of that. read more

I truly wish I could give them 10-stars! I'm a big fan of their Riverside location - but it is so far from me - so of course I was ecstatic to hear that they were opening a location in Atlantic Beach. I stopped by the new location for the first time today and I might have to go back tomorrow. My arepa was soooooooo delicious! I ordered my go-to - the 'Mona Chicken' with added guacamole and I'm still thinking about every single bite. It is so filling and comes with a sauce on the side (not sure what it is but it's super good as well.) They are a bit pricey, since everything is 'à la carte', but truly worth the cost! I will also note that this location is way smaller than the Riverside location. read more

Arepa Please is quaint, located on a busy road; the ambiance is cozy with vibrant colors inside. I ordered a breakfast arepa and my partner ordered a breakfast burrito.

Waaaay back in the day, I had my first arepa from Arepa Please when they were off of Southside. I've been in love ever since. I trekked out to them at the Riverside location, but now they're so much closer to my neighborhood, I may as well invest. The prices are fair for the portion sizes, quality, flavor, and service. What more can you ask for? While I've not eaten in the Beaches location, takeout was a breeze. Can't wait for my next visit! The Queen is calling me! read more

Love when I find fresh healthy food places that actually taste good as well. This one is a 5/5 in all aspects from food taste, to portion size, to price. Staff is always friendly. Seating is minimal but this used to be a Subway and they made it work well. Long table against the window. Few up front. Few outside. You'll never have an Arepa stuffed this full ever. And the crispy crunchiness yet softness to their arepas is hard to describe but they're great. Also have burgers, wraps and gyros and other options for people who may not want arepas. Will take a picture next time. I keep devouring them too quick to pull out the camera. read more

My wife liked her sandwich and fries although she thought the shredded pork was a bit dry. My mom liked the flavors of her dish, with tender cuts of meat and smoky soy sauce flavor. The Bistec a Caballo had decent flavors BUT that steak was tough, even ordered medium. I felt like I was cutting through shoe leather cutting it with the serrated knife. Slow service and a tough steak bumped our rating down. We just couldn't overlook the quality and/or preparation of my steak, even with good flavors. Lunch for 3 came out to just over $67 with tip.

4.5 stars would be most accurate. Located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, this fancy restaurant…read moreserves Oaxaca food from Mexico for both dinner and brunch. I had my first meal there when I visited Jacksonville Beach recently. Got the grilled bone-in yellow snapper, which was a daily special. Fresh, meaty, smoky. It was served with mixed greens and apple salad, some grilled green onions and freshly made corn tortillas. All paired well with the fish. The tortillas were about 0.75oz per piece. Moreover, the dish was served on a HUGE cutting board! I also ordered a side of Spanish rice, but surprisingly the manager took it off from my bill, saying that "[he was] glad that I enjoyed the meal so much"! The first meal was indeed impressive; it had been a while since I had had such Mexican food last time. So I decided to give it another try the next evening. Ordered the Carne Asada (asked for rare) and sub the beans with extra tortillas (to avoid high GI food). But the steak was disappointing: the first time it was served ~medium-well. The second time it was ~medium-rare so I did not complain twice. However, it was quite chewy. One reason was that, as you can see from my picture, the meat was not rest long enough before it was sliced and served. Service was good, friendly and quick. The restuarant was a bit noisy but I enjoyed the energy. Moreover, there were lots of beautiful decors and murals. I really like the tiger painted on the wall of their main dining area. So in short, I would recommend this restaurant if you like Mexican food. I would recommend the seafood and slowly-cooked stuff, like their short rib and pork shank. And I will dine in again the next time I visit Jacksonville Beach.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my bestie trying out their Arepas! It was a little after lunch rush but…read morestill had a good number of customers in the restaurant. The server was really friendly and recommended some great options for us. We ordered the following: 1) THE QUEEN - classic Venezuelan "chicken salad" with their home-made avocado mayo, cilantro and sliced avocados (also known as the Reina Pepiada). Fresh with a great balance of umami flavors! The cilantro green sauce was an amazing add-on with a little spicy kick! 2) PORKO LOCO - slow cooked pork marinated in red wine with queso blanco. Tender, moist, and very flavorful. Amazing! 3) CACHAPA - soft crispy pancake made with sweet corn and fried cheese in the middle. Flavor bomb of sweet and savory! 4) EMPANADA (BEEF) - tender, shredded beef with great flavor of savory. The dipping sauce was white, tangy, vinegary, creamy with a slight spiciness. Delicious! 5) SOURSOP JUICE - rare to find restaurants with this drink. Ate the actual fruits in my homeland in SE Asia. The juice was milky/creamy, sweet with an earthy taste. Great health benefits eating or drinking soursop -- antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, etc. Other notable item was the Passion Fruit Juice however, I did not try it. My bestie really liked it. Overall, wonderful experience at the restaurant of the food, service and great interior feeling creating a great ambiance. Definitely will visit again and try out more menu items.

Light, fluffy, cheesy, garlicky sauce with the right amount of zest spice. Melts in your mouth. How can I bring this sauce home?!?! Second up: main course.

There's a very "social" vibe here. Chancho King has a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere with a…read morerelaxed outdoor seating area tucked behind the building. The inside is nothing fancy (which is fine). The chef‑owners who are James Beard finalists, which naturally raises expectations. However, after multiple visits, the overall experience has not matched the level of hype surrounding the restaurant. Portion sizes relative to pricing remain the primary concern, making the value feel uneven despite the appealing setting. I work in the area and have gone with several office mates. We've tried several dishes and sandwiches but still can't understand the extreme hype. I was told the Chorizo was spicy and it was so bland I felt like I was eating Hilshire Farms kielbasa. Pros: * Outdoor Dining - Pleasant outdoor dining area that provides a comfortable place to relax * Service - Consistently friendly service and a casual neighborhood feel * Variety - Menu crafted by highly regarded chef‑owners with strong culinary credentials * Location - Murray Hill location for a laid‑back meal or meet‑up * The best dish on the menu has been the pork sandwich - which is half a sub roll and plantain chips Cons: * Pricing - Pricing feels high for the portion sizes (e.g., three chicken legs at $23) * Expectations - Overall experience does not fully align with the restaurant's reputation * Some dishes feel more modest than expected given the cost Chancho King is a great place to unwind in the neighborhood, but the pricing-to-portion balance left me wanting more.
