My hand trying to hold in the large portion of meat in my sandwich.

Ashlee L.

My oh my. Deliciius and worth the wait! The pork arepa was tender, plentiful and had good quality fresh cheese. The plantains were crisp and lightly salted to perfection. The green sauce that came with it was was fresh cilantro sauce that packed a lot of flavor but not heat. The passionfruit tea was very fruity but not kool aid sugar! Your food takes 10-15 minutes (there's a sign posted) but it's fresh and so worth the wait. If you have ever been curious about Venezuelan food 10/10 would recommend.

We had food delivered through doordash for lunch. First time having food from here and we were not disappointed! We did a large group order and all of our food was accurate and delicious. My arepa was phenomenal! The shredded beef was so tender and the plantains were a sweet surprise. And the spicy green sauce is the stuff of dreams. The arepitas were super tasty as well. The cheese on top was squeaky like a good cheese curd which was delightful. I cannot wait to have food from here again!

This place is in the Brookfield mall, so initially had my reservations (bc mall food), but our friends insisted we try it. MAN WAS IT GOOD. We tried a ton of food so here is a breakdown. Arepitas: These little guys might not seem like much, but they are good! Covered in cheese and served with their white zesty, creamy sauce and it was a solid choice. Great appetizer. 7/10 Cachapa: A cornbread-esque calzone filled with corn, cheese, and just the right amount of sweetness all covered in cheese. A favorite of both my wife and our friends. Get it. You won't be disappointed. 9/10 Sweet Plantains: I've had plantains before, but not sweet like this. These are amazing. I personally loved them. They are covered in cheese which is a +/- for me but even then, super good. 8/10 Pabellon Empanada: Pulled beef, savory beans, sweet plantains, cheese (naturally, everything here is packed with cheese ), all inside a delectable arepa. Savory, salty, sweet, flavorful, delicious. 10/10. A must buy. Reina Pepiada Arepa: Imagine a chicken salad of sorts but different. Shredded chicken in a light creamy dressing that avocado based all packed together with cheese into the arepa. A light summery feeling dish. 9/10 Rumbera Arepa: Bold and salty roasted pork, avocado, and cheese. Honestly my favorite meat that they have. I loved it and would buy again. 10/10 These dishes come with different sauces. There are 3 total and honestly you can't go wrong with any of them! Mix and match to try them all! Guasacaca is garlic and cilantro and their house sauce is more like a tomatillo. We got this through Door Dash so the cheese had cooled somewhat and stiffened up so if this food was still as amazing as it was through delivery, I can only imagine how good this place is when it's hot and fresh. My only critique is that price seems a little steep. But what can I say, I'm a simple man and like cheap food. REGARDLESS, it's owned and run by a Venezuelan family and I will always pay whatever cost for good food cooked by people who really know the cuisine. GO BUY THIS FOOD.

Great place! More than you'd expect from a mall food court. We got the Pabellon Criollo Bowl with carnitas, La Catira, and a Chica. I had been wanting to try arepas for awhile, and this place was not a disappointment. Each item was delicious and felt restaurant quality. The carnitas in the Pabellon Criollo Bowl was juicy, and the fried plantains were so good. Crispy on the outside, soft and semi-sweet on the inside. The shredded chicken and gouda cheese in La Catira were so oozy and yummy. A little messy to eat, but not a problem at all. The Chicha reminded me of an horchata, but in smoothie form. Really light and refreshing! Definitely want to go again and try their other menu items. The owner said they offered desserts too, which weren't on the menu, so it would be nice to try one next time.

Great food, try an arepa, what do you have to lose? The house green sauce was delicious; tasted fresh and light. As mall food court food goes, this is probably the best foodie thing in Wisconsin. Yes, I did have to wait about 7 mins for my order, but the food was freshly cooked and hot. About what I expected.

Jeff R.

Had the food truck item, Arepa (LaCatira), at BrookOctober Fest. Think: Chicken and Cheese served similar to at gyros, but GF ! Big deal for us Celiacs. I would rank as Very Good, almost great... only because I like a lot more flavor ... so I'll try their restaurant where I can add more spices, toppings, etc. Great Owners and Service! Lots of options to try ... Venezuelan food, who knew ?

I was surprised with the first bite! It took me back to NY when I had my very first arepa. It was fresh and full of flavor. I purchased the beef with plantains, all sauces and pepper jack cheese. The price is worth the freshness and size. read more

We researched reviews in the area to find the best South American cuisine and this is apparently the place! I agree, 100% in terms of the food. It was delicious. One star off only because this great place needs to ditch the styrofoam and plastic in their packaging. We will hesitate to order take-out ONLY because of the non-sustainable packaging. Food is excellent! read more

After a few months of so so take-out, I came across Arepa's Place on Grubhub. The menu sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. I placed an order again today and was again pleased. I had the Rumbera Arepa, Cartibram cheese empanada, and a ground beef empanada. The food is described as being Venezuelan style. The Rumbera Arepa is filled with the most tender pork, cheese, and avocado. They serve the house sauce on the side which is a creamy cilantro sauce. The arepa is a soft, pillowy bread that is made from maize flour. So delicious. The empanadas are also made from a maize dough, then fried to a golden color. The cheese makes a nice brunch, breakfast item. The ground beef filling is very flavorful with sweet and savory notes combined. They also have guasacaca sauce. (An avocado salsa) in addition to the house sauce. Also delicious. I'm addition to the items I had, they also offer bowls with meat, veg, beans, served with rice. Sides are made with plantains or potato. read more

I would ignore the jerk below s comment. I just went to the mall to take my son to gamestop and got hungry so I checked out this place since it was new to me. No one was at the front for a bit must have been preparing food in the back no big deal. They came out and the man instantly started to talk to me about the food which was awesome because I had no idea what anything was. But it sounded good. I ordered an empanada and a side of plantains. Yes it took a sec to prepare and cook the food which is how it should be.. I don't want food that's been precooked sitting out so for the persons comment below they just probably expect everything in life to be given to them on a silver platter. My food was absolutely amazing... as to why I am spending all this time writing a review. It takes a lot of hard work to open up a restaurant and people need to start giving people a little more credit and not bash them for such stupid things like having to patiently wait for your food to cook. If you can't appreciate it then go eat at McDonald's. TRY THE PLANTAINS. I travel the world and I've eaten plenty in my travels and these were very authentic. I wish I had more to eat right now.. read more

Gastronomy and cooking is something we like and passionate about. the concern arises because in the state in wich we live Venezuelan food is little know, and we saw the business opportunity.

This place is one of the many hidden gems of the town of Waukesha. Venezuelan food is kind of hard…read moreto find all across the USA, so I was blown away to find a place in this town that doesn't just do Venezuelan food -- it does Venezuelan food right. The owner is one of the nicest people you will meet and you can see the sheer passion just oozing from him. He makes you feel like a guest in his own home and he is so obviously proud of the food he serves. That pride is well deserved -- this is some of the best Venezuelan food I've ever had, anywhere in the world. The pabéllon and the reina pepeada are especially worthy of mention, with the pabéllon in specific being one of the best things I've ever eaten. The yuca frita is delightful -- fried to perfection, with a delicious chimmichuri-esque drizzle. The kids arepa is hilarious and hilariously good -- a ham and cheese delight tuned for the very German influenced palate around here. My kids and I hope to sample every last item on the menu. My only worry is that this is not a style of food that generally gets a lot of attention in this town -- this place is always rather empty whenever I come. I would love to see lines out the door, because that's what this place deserves, and that's how good the food is here. The fate of many ethnic restaurants in this area seems to be to go under -- and oftentimes that's not commentary on the quality of the food. The palate of the general population in this area tends to be less adventurous, and that puts restaurants like this at a disadvantage. That is to say: please come experience this place. Please come eat here. Please help make sure that this place sticks around.

I stopped by Arepa's Place at the Greendale Mall food court and the FOOD definitely came to play The arepa was crispy, packed with flavor, and one of those meals where after the first bite you just pause for a second The green salsa was AMAZING and honestly deserved its own spotlight. I wanted to pour it on everything. They also had so many Venezuelan options on the menu that immediately made me want to come back and try more. The food takes about 10 minutes to come out, but you can tell everything is made fresh, and it's absolutely worth the wait The setup is solid too. Good location in the food court, clean serving area, and plenty of screens showing the menu so ordering is easy. My only real issue was the service The lady at the counter seemed genuinely annoyed that someone was ordering food, which definitely threw the vibe off a little. That's unfortunate because the food itself honestly deserves attention. Overall, the flavor is THERE, the freshness is THERE, and with friendlier service this place could easily become one of the hidden gems of the mall read more
