Our Supper Club ate at El Arepon recently, and it was such a nice experience! First off, the location can be a little hidden from the main road, but if you use your Maps app, it should take you right there. The interior is fun and bright, with Venezuelan flags hung everywhere, nice wooden chairs and tables, and cute signs on the walls about their beer options and desserts. We spoke with the owner a lot, and he was so friendly and cheerful. He definitely wanted to be sure we all loved our food (which we did!) I started with the Papas Rellenas to share with the table, and they were HEAVENLY. Perfectly seasoned beef and mashed potatoes all fried up in a giant ball. Really good with any of their amazing sauces. And definitely ask for a bottle of each of the sauces, because they are all fantastic in their own ways! I tried an Arepa as well as a bit of a starter, and it was also very tasty! I had tried many arepas in Colombia, and this took me right back there. I had the Catira Arepa, and it was so delicately fried up and then filled with scrumptious chicken, shredded cheese, and some of the amazing house sauce (that's one of the amazing sauces mentioned previously). For my entree, I had the Pastichio, which is a Venezuela "lasagna" dish, with tomato, smoked ham, béchamel sauce, and lots of cheese all melted on top. It was extremely decadent in its richness, and the portion size was huge, so you may have some to take home as leftovers and enjoy later! My husband had the Pepito, which was a giant sandwich full of sliced sausage, carne asade (or another protein of your choice), cabbage, potato chips, and tons of their delicious sauces on top. I got to try it, and it was SO flavorful and satisfying! Another giant portion that will leave you with leftovers, too. We ended the meal with two desserts - the flan and the churros: -The flan was great and super sweet, especially with the added chocolate sauce on top - yum. -The churros were my favorite of the two, as they were soft, warm (obviously freshly made) and also came with a few dips to dunk them in like chocolate and caramel. I'm still dreaming about those churros. With a great owner/staff, fun atmosphere, and out of this world amazing food, I definitely recommend you check out El Arepon for yourself!
Tried out this place for the first time & I'm happy to say that they didn't disappoint. Service is friendly, fairly quick, and the food (in my case, Bandeja Paisa) is definitely both filling and delicious. Lots of flavor & again very decent portions as well. Looking forward to coming back to try their arepa sandwiches, they do look pretty good. I do recommend giving this place a try. The building is tucked away in the back of an area where not too many cars go (at the intersection of 23rd Ave and Lincoln Rd behind a brick building) on a road that goes towards one of the entrances of the Offutt AFB, but its definitely worth looking for & trying out.
Totally authentic venezuelan cuisine. My venezuelan husband said its his new favorite restaurant. We'll definitely be back.
Very quaint, hideaway Venezuelan restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff in Bellevue by Offutt AFB. Service is quick and their food is freshly prepared to order and authentic. A nice assortment of reasonably priced appetizers entrées and dinners. The food has excellent authentic flavor, served with 3 homemade sauces.
Came here for lunch on a recommendation and really enjoyed it. The owner was so helpful in the options and best choices for our tastes, definitely recommend exploring the options a bit. I went with a couple of the arrepas which I highly recommend, but my friend had the Pepito and it looked so good, I'd definitely try it next. Cost was around $15 + tip, which felt fair for the quality and amount of food, will definitely be back at some point.
Service was quick and the waiter was very patient answering our questions. We had the paella and parrillas (steak and chiccarones). The food was so flavorful with large portions. We took some churros to go and they barely made it home. They were fresh and hot. We will definitely go back to try some of the other items on their menu.
I went for lunch today with coworkers and the server was extremely kind! The food took a long time to be ready but he let us know ahead of time that they were short staffed. I had the Cuban sandwich, it was pretty good but not as authentic as ones I've had before. I can't wait to come back here and try some arepas!
Food was delicious Service was awesome. The waiter, Santia knew the menu well. I am Vegan and was able to find a meal to accommodate me. The restaurant is lively, and upbeat.
A much welcome Venezuelan Restaurant to the Olde Town area of Bellevue. Recently opened and located off of 23rd Ave sharing a parking lot with Midlands Auto Repair. Nothing fancy. Small location with about 14 tables and a small bar. Formerly a food truck and then had temporary accommodations in the Blackstone area. Now in its own brick and mortar location. Great looking menu. Owner is very friendly and helps wait on you. A number of good options. I went with the 2 meat Parrillas that comes with tostones, yucca, fries and a small salad. Choice of meats include steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo or chicarron. I went with steak and chicken. Wife got the Patacones with shredded beef. The bun is actually fried plantains. She also got a chicken empanada to take home. The steak and chicken had great grill marks, tasty and well seasoned and the sides were good. Wife liked hers as well. Dessert was a big old piece of flan and churros with caramel sauce. Both very good. The place was hopping when we went on a Saturday evening, but the staff was hustling. Definitely worth a visit.
This place has amazing food! If you are Hispanic and looking for a place and food where you feel like home. This is your place. People are super nice and the service super fast.
El Arepon Venezuelan Restaurant just opened up in Bellevue, Nebraska (1021 West 23rd Avenue near Olde Towne) - having moved from a midtown location in Omaha. This is my second time being there in the week they've been open. Most everything is homemade, made-from-scratch, and authentic. For dinner last night I had the Tostada: It's an Arepa, dipped in seasoned butter and Deep-Fried! Served with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, sauces, and choice of meat (I had ground beef). My wife had the Steak Arepa: Chopped, seasoned steak, fresh pico de Gallo, and queso fresco. We also had an appetizer: Tostones with chicken. Everything was excellent - but man... that deep-fried tostada was amazing!! The owner, Richard, came by to see how everything was. He is just such a positive, happy individual it's hard not to smile when talking with him. Highly recommended!
Looking for something new but not sure where to go? This place is a hidden gem! If you are in the mood to try delicious Venezuelan cuisine without breaking the bank, then definitely give this place a try! The business is family owned. The building is small and unassuming. They have a decently sized menu and their prices are very reasonable ($8-$15 per entree) and their portions sizes are ENORMOUS. Everyone needed a to-go box at the end, so it is definitely a great value for what you pay. We brought our whole family to eat here. For appetizers we tried the papas rellenas, which are deep fried mashed potatoes filled with seasoned beef, served with three separate dipping sauces to drizzle on top. My daughter and her partner ordered the tequenos which are breaded deep fried cheese, similar to mozzarella sticks but with a South American twist. The atmosphere was humble, clean, and welcoming with latin music playing in the background. The chef/owner came to visit us at our table, all of the staff were very friendly. We had the entire place to ourselves and so it felt like we were sitting and enjoying a meal together in a friends home, instead of a restaurant. I ordered the chicken patacones which is a type of Venezuelan sandwich that uses fried plantains to replace the bread and it was stuffed with season shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and a creamy sauce. My son had the pasticho, which is a Venezuelan lasagna type platter with garlic bread and a side salad. My husband ordered the cuban sandwich with french fries. My daughter and her partner both ordered themselves arepas, which are a type of sandwich made from fried ground corn patties stuffed with seasoned meat, egg, black beans, and lots of fresh grated cheddar cheese. They also serve beer, and my husband ordered himself a couple Modelo negros. The food was great and we will be returning here again.
WOW! This little gem is hidden in Old Towne Bellevue! I saved it back when they were just a food truck, we finally got around to checking them out and now they have a full restaurant! It was nice, tidy, and very open! The server was friendly, helpful, and attentive! He helped us with the foods and explained everything well! The extra sauces were delicious! The fried balls, have meat and cheese inside, you can't tell how big they are from the picture! Prices are super fair! My drink, Chica, was sweet and delicious, almost like horchata! Plenty of parking, and complimentary! There were only a couple tables busy while we were there, so let's hit this place up! read more

I had my first Pepito today! When the waiter set my plate down I was surprised by how loaded the sandwich was and asked, "how am I supposed to eat this?!" I was informed that it's street food and to eat it with my hands... I tried friends. I really did. One bite and it not only was all over my hands and face, half the contents were back on my plate. (I suggest tackling the fillings with a fork first to make the sandwich more manageable.) Food was messily delicious and that dark green sauce made it even better. Huge portions... Friendly service... A+. read more

I've eaten here a couple times now and absolutely love the Arepas! They are so flavorful and delicious. They have such a variety of choices and vegan and gluten free options. My wife has to eat gluten free and she loves the Arepas also. I also tried an Empanada and it was quite tasty as well. I'm hoping to get my mitts on a pepito and patacones in the near future. Keep up the good work! read more

The pepita sandwich was okay. I didn't like the sweet flavor of the sauce, just a personal preference. My friend got the Arepa chicken with avocado salad. She would get it again. It's similar to a chicken salad with cilantro. The beans were amazing and spicy! read more

I came to The Switch, the food hall where El Arepon is housed, on a Thursday night for dinner and got the Pepito sandwich. The sandwich was fun and full of different street foods per its description on the menu. It was a bit cold for my taste, though that may be how it's traditionally served. My friends had arepas that they loved. The service was kind and clean, and with the solid food I'm giving El Arepon 4 stars. read more

Please look at my review from El Arepon Venezuelan at its old location. Again. This place amazing! Has great empanadas and awesome arepas. I fully recommend the Arepa Pabellon as well as the Cheese empanadas. They also have fruit juices that are great albeit a bit pricey. If you are REALLY hungry though, they have the Pepito sandwiches which are absolutely massive and delicious! (Picture attached) You will adore this place whether you are latino or not. read more

First time dining here, though got the food to go. Great addition to the midtown/Blackstone area. Had the Reina Pepiada and the La Pelua sandwiches; in addition to a chicken empanada and beef empanada, both were amazing, but I enjoyed the beef better. read more
