What a great place. It was our first visit to Venezuelan restaurant and we absolutely loved it. Arepas are very good and super delicious. Service is good and nice interior. Definitely a place to come back to to try more other delicious food.
I love supporting small businesses so I was more than happy to try this cafe. The food is made to order which showed because it tasted nice and fresh. I'm not even a big fan of cheese but it didn't taste too heavy which means it's good quality. The arepa texture was just right. You could tell the food was authentic because of the family owned vibe. The service was spot on but since they cook to order, I wouldn't go if I was in a rush. Great experience!
Excellent find, great Patacon meals, like a tostada with a flattened crisp green plantain on top and bottom, stuffed with meats, slaw, and a savory sauce. Cachapa Chips with shredded cheese and nata (top level cream, like sour cream, but 10 times better. Saved on our map when doing errands in Orlando and Altamonte.
This was my first experience with an arepa and I wasn't disappointed..... one was filling enough and I was starving. The staff were nice and inviting while be attentive. Good flavor and service, worth a try if you are in the area.
AUTHENTIC AF! Cilantro garlic sauce is my favorite, and they literally put a WHOLE DANG BOTTLE of it on the table when they bring your food out. I got the Pabellon arepa and tequeños with guava... I could honestly eat this every single day and be the happiest camper. AND IT WAS EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE. You don't see prices like these anymore, and I'm so glad they are thinking of their customers in this aspect. The staff was attentive to our needs, and the food came out very quick. I even ordered another round of tequeños to-go because there is just something about these golden, melty, cheesey tidbits of heaven that make me feel like my life's problems have drifted away. I will def be coming back!
If you want homemade Venezuelan food, this is your spot. I decided to give them another try on a Monday and it wasn't busy at all so we got our food fairly quickly. I got the Carne Asada Arepa and the texture was perfect, and it was loaded with cheese which is just one of the few things I love about Venezuelan food (they love their cheese!) I ordered the four piece nugget for my toddler and an extra order of their rice and beans. Everything was perfect and I love that they give you an endless bottle of their signature garlic and cilantro sauces. At the end, I ordered a pepito to-go and a latte which came out good. Service depends on how busy they are, so be ready to wait on weekends or lunch rush.
Pure disappointment the server that took our order was pleasant & courteous. I ordered the tequenos gava & cheese. We got the cheese instead. When I told the server the mistake she just apologized she didn't offer to change it. Service was quick. I ordered the shrimp arepa with sweet plantain witch the shrimp was hard & rubbery. The garlic & celantro sauces we're delicious. My hubby ordered the perico an egg arepa which was cold. Yelp has a 15% check in witch she didn't honor because her boss was not in. So we will not be returning.
This place feels like home! As a Venezuelan living in the states for 20+ years, I always long for food that tastes like my abuelita made it. This is the closest thing i've been able to find that can compare to that deliciousness. I stumbled into this restaurant after work on a Friday & was pleased to find a small but cozy restaurant, with lively music & delicious smells inundating the space. The person at the counter was friendly & welcoming. I ordered the Pabellon with a Frescolita - one of my favorite Venezuelan pairings. Once ordered, it didn't take long for the food to come out. Taste was phenomenal! The only complaint I had was that I got a few chewy/fatty pieces of meat within my carne mechada. As a Veneuelan, i've made this dish before & its important to take all the fatty pieces out of the meat before seasoning it. This plate had quite a bit of them, but i was able to pick them out & still enjoy the dish. The plate came paired with some rice, black beans & fried plantains. I wish the beans came in a bigger portion, but that's selfishly because i could've eaten more of it. I also actually ate the fried plantains, which is rare for me since I almost exclusively only eat the fried plantains my Abuelita makes.
I've been craving arepas made like this for a minute now but it's hard to find a good one close by me. I had to travel for lunch today and been eyeing this spot so decided to make it a day. It's a bit down yonderville but I can now say it's worth the few mins drive out. I enjoyed how they allow you to build your own toppings on the arepa and all the toppings I got came together perfectly (shredded chix, red peppers, tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese) yumm it honestly didn't even need the white or cilantro sauce because the chix is seasoned just well enough but you can add it for extra doses of flavor. I was also impressed with the type of cheese they use it did not feel heavy at all. So yummy. I also got a mango smoothie felt a bit rushed and had more milk than mango flavor but I still drunk it right up. The real restaurant is under construction but they are still taking orders in their food truck right in front of the restaurant. So for me it's an order, grab and go situation. Nevertheless, Il def be back for another arepa!
What a hidden gem! There are a handful of tables indoors, the plaza this restaurant is located in is a smidge sketchy looking but inside was clean and taken care of. We were seated immediately and our order was taken quickly. We tried four different arepas, fried sweet plantains and yucca fries. The server assured me that all the arepas are gluten free, along with everything else that we had ordered. He mentioned that the empanadas are not. I didn't check regarding the fryer being shared and should have for future knowledge but thankfully, I did not have a reaction. The pork and gouda arepa was my favorite, the pork melted in my mouth. I did like the plain cheese for second place and the chicken avocado came close. The plantains were perfect and the yucca fries were good, according to my husband and they had a few sauces to go with them. The portions were very good sized and the prices are great. We will return! I can't wait to try their Venezuelan breakfast next time.
Looking for places to eat on Yelp I came across this gem. It is small and not too obvious, and I am very happy to have came inside! It is a chill cafe, there is a little area for seating inside. I ordered the fried yuca and the vegetarian arepa. The fried yuca was very fresh and just right. The vegetarian arepa surprised me! I liked it more than I thought I would. The plantain inside the arepa was the cherry on top for me. I got their cilantro sauce, garlic sauce and mayo-ketchup. The garlic sauce was my favorite and I enjoyed it with both the yuca and the arepa. I look forward to trying more from this place!
DELICIOUS! Great small lunch spot - very little parking so be warned. This place has less than 10 tables so don't bring a huge group, but bring a huge appetite! We tried the lunch special under the impression that the listed item was an arepa...we were wrong. It was a platter of seasoned meat, rice, beans and some LTO with a few plantains. The meat was amazing and everything was fresh and delicious. I even liked the plantains which I usually don't love - they were crispy and sweet. I can't wait to go back and get an arepa! The staff was also very kind and helpful. It's obviously a family run business.

Always a nice alternative! The arepas (8.9)are fantastic. The queso de Mano arepa (9.3) takes it to a whole new level! The cafe con leche (9.1) also hits the spot with an amazing flavor that gives caramel vibes! read more

Always a hit in my book. Without a doubt, choose the white cheese. It's soft but salty and pairs perfectly with the warm, crispy arepa. Service is always amazing, don't be deterred by the small, diner style vibe. It's worth stopping in for a quick bite or feeding the whole family! read more

Nothing fancy nothing extravagant. Very authentic Venezuelan Arepas. I do recommend it. I took my Arepas to go and enjoyed them thoroughly. Make sure you get the garlic sauce. Plenty of it. read more

Very thankful for my sweet Venezuelan coworker for taking me to one of her favorite restaurants for a yummy authentic meal. Arepas, Café & More is a little gem that's worth a try! The restaurant is located in a plaza right off the main drive with a shared parking lot. The restaurant is relatively small but well laid out with ample seating. We got to pick our table and after sitting were brought menus and offered a drink. When we got our drinks our order was promptly taken and food came out quickly even though fresh to order. I had a pork patacon (with green plantains). The patacon is was filled with tons of pork and toppings! A delicious combination and easy to eat like a sandwich. My friend had a pepito which she loved with the mixed meat! It was so large she could barely eat half. If you're in the area make sure to check this affordable, fresh, and authentic cafe! read more

My lovely wife introduced me to this place tonight, as she works nearby and had been here several times for lunch. Scratch Venezuelan kitchen, where they serve, you guessed it, Aprepas and more. The more turned out to be a fantastic shredded beef empanada with a crispy corn shell. The sweet corn highlighted the seasoned meat and went perfect with their cilantro sauce. For the main, I went with the Pabellon Arepa, with shredded beef, black beans, fried plantains, and a thick piece of white cheese, with the cilantro and garlic sauces on the side. It was tasty and filling. But I obviously should have gotten that Arepon that my wife did, with shredded beef, chicken, bacon,ham, a fried egg, parm and mozz cheese, topped with ketchup, and garlic and cilantro sauces. Chances are I will be back again for that one. You can't do much better for value, and everything was freshly made to order. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I heard the do Sancocho on the weekends of you are a fan. read more

Primera vez que vengo a este lugar y sinceramente estoy muy satisfecho. Pedimos los pequeños, las empanadas de queso y pabellón, y una cachapa. Toda la comida estuvo deliciosa y muy auténtica. El servicio estuvo maravilloso y la verdad que me sentí por un ratito que estaba en Venezuela. Definitivamente recomiendo este lugar y estoy muy emocionado para volver y probar el menú de almuerzo. read more
FOOD: Flavorful. Filling. Delicious. I love Arepas and if you haven't tried one, you are definitely missing out. I ordered the seafood arepa. I mistakenly ordered two but only needed one be cause it was so filling. I wanted to so badly finish the second one but I was stuffed! SERVICE: The staff were friendly and helpful. They were busy but the service was still quick. ATMOSPHERE: Small, quaint and family oriented. There are enough seats to hold a typical lunch crowd, but I would not say that this place is good for large groups. LOCATION: Small parking lot PROs- Authentic food. Affordable prices. Great portion sizes. CONs- None read more

I feel like this place is a hidden jam. The service is friendly. Food- delicious. Arepas are freshly made. They have two sauces that you can add to your meal. One is garlic based the other cilantro based. Both delish and complement arepas and dishes perfectly. Food came out quick. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of parking. Other than that, everything was great! Would definitely recommend and will continue to go back. read more
If I want to have genuine, authentic Venezuelan food, this is the spot, in particular, when I'm crazing arepas. I was first introduced through my cousin's wife's family. So you know that they know where's it's at. Just know that you will walk out full and satisfied. My favorite is the arepa pabellon that is stuffed with black beans, sweet plantains, shredded beef and cheese. Simple delightful if you love sweet and savory, it's bursting with an assortment of flavors. My personal favorite side dish is the tequenos, it is their version of cheese sticks as an appetizer with dipping sauce. The cafe con leche is perfect at breakfast time. If you go for breakfast the cachapa pabellon is delish! It is similar to a sweet pancake stuffed with the black beans, cheese and chicken. Parking lot in front is small, but I don't usually have a hard time finding a spot. I usually call ahead and pick up to go or order takeout inside. read more

Very small place with good authentic Venezuelan food. The young waitress spoke very little English (her estimate was 1%) but we managed to communicate what we wanted to order without much ado. I decided to try what was billed as the Venezuelan national dish, Pabellon. It was shredded beef, rice, seasoned black beans, plantains, and a small salad without dressing. Very tasty and well seasoned. My wife had Patacon, which was a shredded pork sandwich that used fried tostones instead of bread. She was quite pleased with it. We also had coffee. My wife had a cafe con leche and I had espresso. Very good. Overall the bill was less than $20 (first visit gets a 15% Yelp discount) and was well worth it. read more

The service is very personable and friendly. The empanadas stand out as exceptional. I had the Pabellon; it includes your choice of shredded meat, rice & beans and plantains. The meal was rather small; not something you can share. We did order other items such as a Pelua arepa (beef & gouda cheese) and we received an order of fried plaintains. The plantains were great and I loved that it includes cheese on top. They also took their time. Maybe they were having an off day but it took them a long time to bring out our meals. The server did apologize for the delay. I would come back for a cup of coffee and an arepa. read more
Ok... I'm convinced. This place is good! It took me a while to come visit because I was waiting for more yelpers to chime in. And I'm kind of skeptical when i see too many 5 stars, but not enough words. So this was a recon mission to see if the rumours were true. I brought a couple of coworkers here for lunch and we all walked away happy! We had zero to no experience with Venezuelan food, but enjoyed it and want more! I'm not sure what my recent fascination is with rundown looking, nondescript plazas lately when it comes to yelp adventures, but this one is a good one! Don't let the exterior turn you off. I was so disappointed when the previous restaurant that occupied this space closed, but I am glad that it opened with similar food. We were served with a mainly Spanish speaking sweet lady and sat in a cozy corner. The whole place could probably only sit 25 people. So... i had to try the beef patacon cause it was bolded on the yelp site... not a disappointment at all! It's basically a shredded beef sandwich with coleslaw using tostones as the "bread" It's definitely familiar Spanish flavors only in sandwich form. Dipped it with the green sauce and the garlic white sauce, which I've had at other Spanish restaurants before and still made whatever I was eating even more delicious! Also ordered the shredded chicken empanada which was also tasty. It could've been cooked just a little more well, so i can get that nice crunch. My friend got the Reina Pepiada aka shredded chicken and avocado empanada. And he said it tasted like a warm chicken salad with avocado. Other friend got the pabellon which is a meal that consisted of shredded beef, rice, black beans, and tostones. He liked it and compared it to a dish nearby serving Cuban food. I'm definitely going to have to go back and try their crispy chicken and possibly come for breakfast. If you are wanting to try some Spanish food that is familiar, but still different, come support this local small business and give it a go! read more
