Que Chevere is a Venezuelan Restaurant in Mesa that also has a Food Truck that goes all over the valley. We tried the Food Truck at Food Truck Friday West in Glendale. The person working there was friendly and helpful. We shared a Venezuelan Chicken Salad & Avocado stuffed White Corn Arepa. WOW it's a game changer. It was so delicious! The chicken was tender, moist, and infused with delicious flavors and that white corn arepa made it all pop! Que Chevere is a great place or Food Truck to try! read more

Delicioso! First time trying their food and it didn't disappoint! I will def come back :) I called in first to place my order for pick up and that it would be ready in 20 min. The place is nicely decorated, there is inside and outside seating. I was greeted warmly and my food was ready when I arrived. Every table was full so that was a good sign! Arepa domino- stuffed with cheese and refried black beans. Nice flavor with a fluffy texture. Arepa pollo- the shredded chicken was good! Chacapa con queso mano- you can have shredded beef, chicken or ham added inside for an extra fee. I asked for shredded beef to this. It's like these corn pancakes filled with lots of cheese and then the beef. If you like sweet and savory you will like this! It was good, just so filling and heavy so I could only eat a quarter of it. Lols read more

I had come into this spot due to DoorDash yesterday.(Was picking up an order) and I saw an old friend there and he invited me back when I got the chance and I went back tonight. (The next night after the invite) I had to check it out. He made me mock-tail and got some great food. I absolutely loved the drink. The people are great and the food was spectacular! So fresh and just so satisfying. I had driven all day in the Valley heat and this place was the best spot to complete it. The tables were full with people, laughter and just pretty good energy. Even as it was closing it was pretty nice and peaceful. Definitely gonna go back. But I had to leave this review because they deserve it. Go there check it out. Eat some food, get some drinks and kick back! I also love the area, more places to venture into. read more

We love this place for their arepas! It does get busy so we have had to do take out. They have a nice selection of different arepas and other items and a bar available with lots of drink choices. There is a platter option but it 9nky comedy with a plain arepa. We tried a chicken arepa and a beef arepa. The beef one we choose had cooked plantains in it. Both were delicous and both came with plantain chips and a small sauce. Very filling and very tasty. Can't wait to go back. read more

I got the Pabellon Criollo, with shredded beef, sweet plantains, an arepare, black beans, and rice with guayacaca sauce on the side. Everything tasted great. I especially enjoyed the sauce on the shredded beef. The sauce is like a Venezuelan chimichuri sauce. The sweet plantains were very tasty, but the arepare tasted kind of bland. Maybe it would have been better with a sauce. The black beans were very tasty. The rice was cooked perfectly. The outdoor sign is high on the building, and hard to see from the north side of the street. I finally parked off of Pepper Street, in the parking garage in the large apartment building. read more

One of my favorite places in Arizona. Everything I've had--the arepas, the capachas, the tequenos--all delicious. It's a fun place with more seating than you'd expect, and the staff are all super nice. My favorite thing about this place may be the atmosphere though. Everyone is so HAPPY. Que Chevre makes food that makes people happy. The place is always filled with laughter and smiles. It feels good to spend time there. Highly recommended. read more

I remember a spot called mi Arepa that sadly closed but Que Chevre (phonetically: K chevray) "How cool or great" is a great spot to get your Venezuelan food fix. If you have not tried a cornmeal arepa filled with cheese, you are missing out. Many might think they are dry without filling, but be sure to try the different sauces. Parking is the most difficult aspect of this Venezuelan delight. The service was friendly and helpful as I went with my Peruvian and Mexican friend who had not been here and asked for clarification en el español. The restaurant was light and airy, the pricepoint is fair, and I would definitely go back as the portions will fill you. This is un plato típico de Venezuela. - typical dish for you to try! read more

Nice to see you new shops and restaurants popping up in downtown Mesa. I was here a few days ago, and got hungry after vintage store shopping. I've never had Venezuelan food before, and I had to try this place. I don't eat meat, so I opted to try the Vegan Arepa. stuffed with a delicious plant-based filling, made with black beans, and mashed avocado. It came with plantains and hot avocado dipping sauce. They're so filling and extremely flavorful. The menu is simple, and the staff was pleasant. A nice addition to the main street plaza. read more

What a great local business! Excellent service from the two women (think they were mom and daughter?) and great food. Come hungry and don't expect to eat lightly. The arepas look small, but they are deceptive. I loved everything we got, and recommend the sampler as well as a couple arepas. Their beef knocked my socks off. Also, the design on both walls is super cute. Only criticism was that the music was not Venezuelan!

We yelped for lunch after visiting the history museum and found this place. We've never tried Venezuelan food so we were excited to try. The food was so good! I'm normally don't like black beans but they make it so flavorful and fluffy here. Even the rice was flavorful. Meat was tender and cooked to perfection. My kid ordered the kids cheese burger was more than impressed. It was huge, juicy and served with buttery brioche. Can't get better than this! Wished I had tried their cocktailS. They were so cheap and looked so good! Maybe next time. The gals who worked here were super friendly. read more

Downtown Mesa is flourishing with new businesses! My coworker and I decided to check out Que Chevere for lunch. It was a Tuesday afternoon, around 12:30PM. We were warmly greeted by the waitress and instructed to seat ourselves. Almost all of the tables (7-8) were filled inside with additional seating in front of the restaurant. I decided to go with the Arepa Reina Pepiada ($11) which is one of their most popular items. Coworker ordered the carne mechada ($11). I'm probably going to be judged for making this comparison but think of the arepa reina pepiada as a Venezuelan chicken salad pita. The chicken and avocado portions were generous and delicious! I also enjoyed the dipping sauce it came with. The plantain chips were crispy and savory and tasted better when dipped. It was the perfect size for lunch and didn't leave me feeling stodgy or too full to return to work. Coworker enjoyed his carne mechada arepa which is shredded beef. He wasn't a big fan of the plantain chips and overlooked that they can be substituted for fries (or sweet plantains) for $1. Service was good, food was good; I'll definitely be returning! read more

Randomly decided to try out a new cuisine over the weekend while visiting my siblings in AZ and stumbled upon Que Chevere through Instagram. Turned out to be such a great find! Venezuelan food is delicious! I highly, highly recommend the Arepa Pabellon. There was a big variety of ingredients in it and each bite was a burst of flavor! My siblings ordered the Arepa Reina Pepiada, which had cold shredded chicken and cilantro sauce mixed with avocado. We also ordered mini arepas and cachapa with queso mano. They were great additions to our meal. But we definitely had too much food for 3 people! Next time we would skip on the mini arepas just to make sure we have enough room in our stomachs to eat all of the good food! The ambience of this little restaurant is quite fun and chill. There were only 2 servers working at the time, they were handling the outdoor seating, indoor seating, and the bar. But our server was super nice and we were taken well care of! Expect a bit of a wait for your food to come out, I would recommend ordering everything at once. The wait is 100% worth it! I also ordered the juice of the day, they had 3 options, I chose a cane sugar and lemon juice. Unfortunately, it didn't suit my taste buds. So I asked to switch it out with fresh guava juice and they did it free of charge! Overall, Que Chevere is a great experience! If you haven't tried Venezuelan food before, then what are you waiting for??? This is the place to be! read more

Always good food and good drinks when I come here. I've brought friends and family and I' never disappointed

This is the BEST hidden gem I have encountered in a really long time! My sister was visiting from out of state and we wanted to take her out for dinner for one of her last nights and found this Venezuelan restaurant through Yelp - and boy, did this place deliver! We had a really nice server - I believe her name is Denisa - who gave great recommendations based on our food preferences. One thing I will say is that the service was pretty slow but that's because they only had 2 servers between all the customers and the bar. The servers were also doing the bartending part, so I understand that. To start, I had the Guarapita drink and it was delicious! It's a tad sweet but super good for anyone who loves rum and has a sweet tooth - definitely recommend. My husband had Que Chèvre Margarita and he loved it. My sister actually ordered a drink called the Malta/Colita, which I believe is a Venezuelan drink but she didn't end up liking it and our server, Denisa, gladly brought her another drink and didn't charge for the first one, which was super nice. Food wise we may have ordered a bit too much because everything looked amazing - we had the Cachapa and Mini Arepas to start - these are perfect for sharing but also filling, so be aware of that. But super delicious! I liked the Cachapa the best :) For my main entree I had the Arepa Reina Pepiada, which was an arepa stuffed with chicken and avocado and though it looked small, it was soooo filling. I will say, I wish the arepa came stuffed with more things such as beans and cheese, but it was still delicious. My sister had the Arepa Pabellon and it was also super good. Lastly, the prices here are amazing - you get so much food for a really decent price. We paid less than $80 for 3 alcoholic drinks, 1 alcohol-free drink, 2 appetizers and 3 entrees. Definitely coming back here! read more

My family and I went to the Mesa Arts Center for a musical performance and wanted to try a unique restaurant after the concert. The menu options were largely unfamiliar to us but we were up for an adventure. My son tried the Arepa Pabellon and quickly gave it 5 stars. The blend of flavors was unique and satisfying. I ordered the Sampler which included empanadas and taquenos (cheese sticks). The accompanying cilantro lime sauce was deliciously addicting. Five stars for me. My wife ordered Arepa Reina Pepiada. The chicken-avocado sandwich was flavorful but she would have liked it to include more sauce. Four stars for her. The service was slow (due to the high number of guests) but our server was very gracious and friendly. We especially appreciated that he gave us extra sauces to take home. Four stars for service. All in all, it was an enjoyable dining experience. read more

What a treasure! I don't know what took me so long to try this place, but I wish I had come in sooner. All of the tables were taken so we sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and helpful even when they were busy. I had a Paloma which was garnished beautifully with tajin on the rim, roselles, and a dried lime slice. We had tequenos, and arepas, and everything was delicious! read more

My husband had a craving for Venezuelan food (he lived there for many years) and we found this place on Yelp. Even better, it had nearly all 5 star reviews so we decided to give it a try. We have been super careful during Covid, so eating inside was not something we wanted to risk, thus we had figured on getting take out but were pleasantly surprised that there are several tables outside on the front patio and one was open. We ordered an appetizer sampler plate, sweet plantains and a raina pepiada arepa. And the hubby had Polar beer and I considered a fruit of the day juice but the offerings didn't excite me so I had a Diet Coke. The food was wonderful with the exception of the Tequeños, and they were good, just not great. I think that they were not fried long enough to let the cheese inside melt, but the bread around it was yummy. We had plenty to eat with the rest of the food so we did not go hungry by eating only half of the order. The shredded beef empanadas were the hit for me - the coating was nice and thick and cooked all of the way through and the meat was nicely seasoned. Our server was very friendly and attentive. This place will certainly be on our regular list once we get back to indoor dining - hopefully soon. read more

This is now in my top favorite restaurants. We were looking for a place to eat while walking downtown and decided to try this place out. I'm so glad we did. They have ample outdoor seating which is perfect during covid. The service was quick and every one was very friendly. You can tell they take pride in what they do and love to share it with others. We had chicken and beef empanadas. They were both delicious but the beef was superior. The meat was juicy. Give this place a try. Enjoy! read more

I got to try this place with my Venezuelan friend, otherwise I would not have known about this cute little place that has authentic food. Since I did not know anything about Venezuelan food, I ordered what my friend recommended for me. I apologize for not remembering the names of the dishes that I ordered since I came to this place a while ago, but I do remember the food and drinks being great. The drink I ordered tasted a little bit like an iced tea, not too overly sweet but definitely refreshing. The appetizer that we shared tasted like the bread of a hot dog but filled with stretchy cheese. Pairing with the dipping sauce, it was really good. The main dish that I ordered was one of their brunch items, and it was pretty good. I imagined the food would be a bit savory or strong, but it was actually pretty mild for me. What made me like this place was how friendly everyone was. I would want to bring my friends here and have them try out some authentic Venezuelan cuisines. read more

Woohoo! Don't have to find the Que Chevere food truck anymore to get my Venezuelan food fix!! They have a brick and mortar spot on Main St in Mesa, just west of Mesa Arts Center (where I like to take classes, and need a dinner spot on the way in). Enter Que Chevere as a new solution to my problem! I like the Arepa Pabellon - so much so, that I never try anything else ;-) Arepas are Venezuelas take on Pupusas or Empenada - Masa formed into a disc - baked, then pan fried (I think) - the Pabellon version comes with beef and black beans and white cheese. Good stuff!! One of my classmates is meat-free - lo and behold, they have a Vegan Arepa - I grabbed one for her, and she said it was really good. If I get down there enough that the risk/reward of trying something else besides Arepa Pabellon rises to the go-for-it level, I'll update and let y'all know what I think. If you're a first timer, try my favorite - bet you'll be back for more! read more

Stopped by here since we wanted to try out the arepas since we've seen and heard good things from this place. For the price, wow this place is economical, delicious, and efficient. We shared an entree together and we thought it was so much food. We also ordered a chicha which was also really good and will probably satisfy your horchata cravings if you have any. read more

I saw this place recently on a foodie insta and was curious to try it. The owner is from Venezuela and started with a food truck initially so it's great to support small and local business. I've had arepas before so I knew you can't go wrong with arepas. I got the beef (carne mechada) arepa and it was super good. The beef was flavorful, juicy and tender. The green sauce which I assume is some sort of cilantro sauce complements it so well. I ordered take out but the restaurant looks very chill and the server was very friendly. I would love to come back and try the chicken arepa and the patacon. read more

My daughter raved to my wife and I about this place in Mesa. After a visit to the Natural History museum we ate here last Saturday. The service is good, not great, the ambiance is oddly imbalanced and the food is better than average. We ordered two Arepa Reina Pepiada, one Arepa Vegan and a Shredded Chickena Empanada. The Reina Pepiada was disappointing as I was told it tasted like chicken salad with heavy mayo. the Vegan was good but it's just black beans and avocado. Not really very creative. The Empanada was very good - not heavy, oily, and the chicken was delicious. The best thing was the price - $63 for three Arepas, an Empanada, two soft drinks and a cocktail. I probably won't ever go back. read more

Great arepas and extremely friendly service. Lively feel good atmosphere. Green sauce for the tequeños is amazing

It took a while to actually get someone to acknowledge we were there. Once they finally came to the table it took a while to even get our drinks. The food was ok. It wasn't bad, per se, but I was expecting better based on the price. Service was SLOW. Don't go if your hungry or in a hurry. But otherwise...it's ok. read more

Que Chevere - Venezuelan Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Prior to my visit to Que Chevere, I had never tried Venezuelan food. To be fair, I didn't even know there were any Venezuelan restaurants in town. I went with a friend to try it out since we both wanted to try something different. And I'm glad we did! Que Chevere has a fine selection of Venezuelan cuisine. The waitress was extremely helpful to help us determine what to order. We started off with the tequenos, which I feel is similar to mozzarella sticks in that it's a stick filled with cheese but these somehow seemed healthier lol. My friend ordered the Cachapa with Queso Mano - a corn pancake-like wrap with cheese and ham inside. I'm not a fan of ham but the corn pancake was delicious! I ordered the Arepa Pabellon - something similar to a sandwich with shredded beef. This was also delicious from beginning to end! All in all, we very much enjoyed the entire experience at Que Chevere and I look forward to dining there in the near future. read more

I had first discovered this place a couple months ago when I was walking to Worth Takeaway and it caught my eye! Knew I had to stop by today when I was in the area. I had never tried Venezuelan food before and was excited that they have vegan/vegetarian options! I got tequenos to start, they are soft and cheesy and delicious. Not sure what the dipping sauce was but it was also very yummy. For my arepa I got a vegan one, it was black beans and avocado, I added sweet plantains. It was really filling and tasty! I think I will try the vegetarian one next time but add avocado to it. The plantain chips on the side are really good too. So glad I got to have such a wonderful first experience with Venezuelan food! read more

I thought I didn't like empanadas but apparently I haven't had a good one before. Everything we ate was so good. Especially the cheese filled thing in the sampler (forgot the name).

We sat on the patio which was nice to just enjoy the nice weather and watch people go by but I thought the inside was also nice especially the artwork on the wall but they had no place inside...well maybe next time read more
