Behind the counter there is a welcoming selection of foods and treats of all shapes and sizes for people of all shapes and sizes: chickens, piglets, plantains, rices, coffee, soups, chicharrones, sweets, etc. The pernil and mangú make a heavy and nutritiously unbalanced meal that is delicious and slides down the gullet like a well-lubricated endoscope. I would highly recommend this combination. The mondongo is also very tasty, and its tripe is not overly chewy. In my several experiences, the amount of food in one plate is in fact enough for two meals. You shall find the prices to be quiet reasonable. Think around $10 for a a meal of great heft in the 2026th year of our Lord. The space is pleasant, with many tables for dining and socialization. There is also a bar for when you wish to go out on the town.

Most items are ready to be served...just have to decide on what you want. Thank you La Islas for consistent deliciousness

I really wanted jugo de parcha and unfortunately they didn't have it. So I settled for a jugo de coco instead! It was super tasty and was a good substitute but I still wanted my parcha lol. I ordered two chicken empanadas which were pretty good and dad ordered some cuchifritos. The service was incredible and so were the prices. However, we tried to order multiple things that were not available which was really annoying. The location in Bushwick is better. Next time ill go to the Bushwick location which always has very food item!

The food is absolutely delicious and worth it!…read more I'm a local so the young woman and older lady behind the counter recognizes me from church and around the way so they don't give me much attitude but let's not act like it doesn't happen! No favoritism here on my end. I can honestly say they are not the best at customer service. I've watched several things here fluctuate from their A to B grade, B back to A grade. $1.25 Alcapurias to now $1.75 Alcapurias. All in all it's still very much worth the cheap price. Cuchifrito will not give you a great tasting Relleno de papa or Alcapuria the way Ramona's do. Around the way and need a little appetizer or full meal? Look no further and come into the Moore Street Red Market and try our Ramona's. Patrons are allowed to sit for about 30 minutes and enjoy some of their food.

Friendly workers here especially the lady in the kitchen! The guy in front always try to upsell but…read morehe is nice too. Food offerings are pretty vast but consist mostly of fast food take-out options. Been here three times and I can tell you the quick take-out bite options are a hit and miss. The cheese fried dough empanada was a bit too fried on one side and the cheese wasn't a typical Venezuelan cheese but tasted like a subpar mozzarella cheese. I wouldn't order this again. The arepas here are the fried kinds and if you get them fresh they should be good. However the star of anything here will have to be the actual meals you can order - not the quick bite items. We've had great soups here and they have good specials at times. This place is doesn't really have much seating and is more of a take-out counter service.

While working in Brooklyn, NY, I was looking for a Colombian spot to have lunch in Brooklyn, NY,…read more"Arepa's Latin Food" was one of the results. Now this place is VENEZUELAN. Both Colombians and Venezuelans have Arepas. Both are very good but also very different. Arepa's Latin Food has a killer, unbeatable breakfast AND lunch special. Everything is home cooked. And their lunch special is only $9.00. YUP. THATS RIGHT. JUST $9.00. For that price you get a small bowl of soup. Usually chicken or beef. Then they give you the entree. This is usually chicken, beef or some other protein. This comes with rice, beans, salad AND Maduros. I DEFY YOU TO BEAT THIS DEAL. Great deal for the neighborhood. Terrific little place making an actual difference in the neighborhood. Feeding good, home cooked food to the neighborhood.
