Starting with a good coffee
Adriana K.

Nice , clean, fresh. Great food and service. I came for a late lunch and had a Vegetarian Areta which asked to add the slow roasted wood fired beef, just delicious!

The Llanera Arepas

Sweet staff. A great place to try Venezuelan food. My favorite were the Parrillita and Tostones. If you have the stomach for dessert after, I would recommend trying their guava pie.

The Texan
Margo F.

So I ordered food for pickup. I got the cheese sticks (tequenos) they were good, a little cold by the time I got back. There were 5 and a pretty good size. I'd try again of eating there but prob not to go. I got the Texan arepas which is their "sandwich" some kind of bread/roll stuffed with goodness. The Texan had chicken and beef, onion, bell pepper, jalepeno, white cheese, tomato and avocado. It was huge! So they give you almost half an avocado and it was perfectly ripe. The jalepenos I didn't find spicy. The garlic sauce is delightful! The star was probably the cheese! They call it white cheese, it's a thick cut (at least twice a regular slice). It's soft and mild and wonderful. If you get a different sandwich get that cheese! I couldn't eat it all. I ordered an extra side of garlic sauce, and paid for it but didn't get it. It's all a little pricey (over $30 for these items and no drink). It also took about twice as long as they originally said so keep that in mind. It really was a very good experience, I love trying new things. I'd definitely go back if I find myself in Killeen again!

Chicken and Pabellon Empanadas

Came in with a group of 7 and our waitress Amari was amazing. She was super helpful and informative with the dishes. Our wait time wasn't too long, drinks came out right away. Food was delicious and hot. Lunch rush wasn't too bad

First time coming to this restaurant! We liked the vibe of this restaurant and felt nice and clean even in the bathroom as well! We ordered vegetarian dishes; the vegetarian and the vegetarian arepas they came in 10 mins and were delicious! Rich in flavors and if you'd like to put more seasonings you can do it additionally and you can also ask for hot creamy sauce for $0.75. Twas a good one but they'll charge you for that so just keep it in mind. :) Overall, we had a good lunch over there! Good volume and they filled us up nicely! Keep up the good work! Cheers

This is The Texan Arepas, the meat was so flavorful I would definitely order this again! Not spicy at all just right.

9/10 for me!!! This place was really good! From the service being on point and not taking long at all to having some amazing fresh food. The tostones was so amazing a great way to my heart, from all the fresh vegetables and so much flavor in every bite. The 3 piece was enough for me and the wifey but if you come with an appetite definitely get your self a bigger order. We tried the arepas, I had the Texan and that didn't disappoint at all!!! The meat was so flavorful! The wifey had the pabellon arepas the shredded meat over powered the whole thing but don't get me wrong it was delicious just a little heavy on the meat. If you love a big portion of it, go for it. We are definitely going back for more and more.

Pabellon Bowl
Jeff B.

My second time here and it is still a nice place to have lunch. Arepitas specializes in Venezuelan Cusine. You can get bowls, platters, wraps, and burgers filled with vegetables and meat. Today, I had the Pabillon. This is a bowl full of shredded beef, black beans, cabbage, plantiens, cheese, and avacado. It has all the nutrients you should be eating and tasted delicious! The server comes quickly to get your drink order and then your food order. The total time we waited before eating was about 10 to 15 minutes. The server came back several times to refill our drinks and to remove used dishes. They didn't even complain when we continued to talk after finishing our meal. A very comfortable atmosphere. The place is clean with many tables to dine at. Takeout is also available. The next time you are in the mood for some Latin. Food, please stop by Arepitas and fill the void you might have.

Empanadas very great
Cathey A.

Llanera
Marilyn B.

Restaurant is clean. Cozy and chill vibes. Enjoyed the music selection. The llanera was a great choice. Steak had a nicely charred flavor, arepa was perfect, cheese savory and the avocado was fresh. Yuca was hot and crispy, delicious with the verde sauce. Crazy fries were tasty and a large portion.

Another long overdo review. I had Lunch with the ladies and I chose to come here. We ordered a…read morebunch of food. What I remember was it was all so tasty but expensive. I do remember the warm sweet plantains. I have become addicted to them. Also had the shredded chicken empanadas and oh, so, good. The other ladies ordered a wrap and an arepita which I didn't try because they ate theirs so fast.

I've ordered from here many times befor but today I stopped in and ate "in house."…read more When u walked in I wasn't greeted , after a couple minutes I decided I would go to the restroom and come back as there seemed to be one waitress who was busy, and no host. I came back and waited about a minutes before I was acknowledged, I was sat and the waitress was attentive. I wanted to try the arepita appetizer which is normally served with shredded beef/pork or chicken on the side- to get a side of plantains instead of meat, it was going to add 3$ to the 14$ appetizer so I just opted to omit the meat all together and still had to pay the $14 ...which I don't feel is appropriate- people always wanna add money to sub a veggie for meat but never reduce the price when just removing the meat all together. Anyways, Ordered my food which was out promptly, the veggie bowl was delicious as always and the arepita appetizer (no meat) was good- reminded me of a fried potatoe cake, I used the arepitas as a vessel for my veggie bowl ! I brought the remainder of my bowl home where I bit into something very hard , once pulling it out of my mouth I discovered some beef snuck it's way into my dish- disappointing forsure but it is the first time out of about 10 times this has happened here. Prices have gone up over the last few years my veggie bowl was 18$.

Have been here a couple of times and the food and service have been consistently good. So far, I've…read moregotten the Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Pabellón Plate (with chicken), and both were great. The chicken was not dry and the portions left me full. Plenty of menu options as well. The staff are warm, welcoming, and accommodating (we came with a group of 6 and they got us situated right away). The space is small (which I find very nice), there is indoor and covered/shaded outdoor seating available. And I love the decor! Overall, highly recommend!

My husband and I came here for dinner and we decided to sit outside…read more I wasn't very hungry so I ordered their single taco with al pastor shrimp, which was an extra $2.99 and lime/guac for an extra 50 cents (on top of the single taco, which was $4.50). My husband ordered their burrito, which came with chips and a cheese dip on the side. Their shrimp was good; nothing special. I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/
