First food stop in Orlando - Arepas y Empanadas!! Recommended to us by our rental car shuttle driver, he hit the rec in the money. Don't let the fact that the small restaurant is located inside a gas station fool you. The cashier that helped us was super helpful! I forgot her name but she was thorough and explained all the different types of flavors and gave the best recommendations of you were indecisive like me. The empanadas and arepas were made fresh and hot off the press. The first bite I had of the plantain & cheese empanada and I was in heaven. The texture of the empanada was crisp and slightly flaky and it was delicious!!!! I forgot the type of arepa we got but that was packed with chicken, cheese, avocado and so good. They also gave us a few sauces to try them with and my favorite sauce was the garlic sauce and my hubby liked the green sauce. I highly recommend The Arepa Station!! We had to come back when we returned our car rental. So it was our first and last good stop while visiting Orlando. read more

We had a long layover an Orlando and did not want to eat crappy airport food so we found this place and it was amazing! It was just like arepas I had in Venezuela! It's part of a gas station so very casual but very clean! read more

I've stopped here like 3 times already, it's on my way from the MCO airport to Space coast. It's a counter inside a gas station, there are some booths inside (helps if it's raining or too hot outside). Service is quick and friendly. The arepa pabellón is huge and so tasty!! Love them every time. read more

Don't let the gas station ambiance scare you away from coming here. I been here a few times the food is good the empanada de queso is extremely good filled. With cheese, the patacon de pollo muy bueno highly recommend it. Service is fast and they offer a bunch of sauces. read more

I was a little taken aback that this was attached to a gas station but the food was soo good. I ordered four empanadas: cheese, plantain, chicken, and beef. They were all delicious, especially with the garlic sauce. The line moved quickly, and the cashier rang me up under their specials so that it came out cheaper. The lunch special is 9.99 for two empanadas and a drink. read more

My first time having Arepas and authentic Venezuelan food. 1. Location is fantastic! In and out quickly. It's in a gas station, but wayyyyyy better than any fast food spot you'll go to. Drive a little further beyond the airport and grab this to go. 2. Parking is way easy. Huge lot. 3. Service is good. You order and pay at the counter and then they call your name and you go pick up your order as it comes. 4. Tons of red booths for four mid sized people max. 5. The fresh juices are delicious, I had the blackberry which I recommend! Heard the passion fruit is delish too but they ran out. 6. Ambience is beyond casual. Come as you are. 7. Affordable but it adds up because you want to order everything lol. 8. The food, got the chicken and steak arepas both were good but the steak was best imho. Also got the corn fritter thing with cheese, also yummy! And the cheese croquets type things were good as well. It's all very filling!! Will totally come back. Very hearty meal! read more

The Arepa Station shares its location with a gasoline station, but don't let that fool you--the place is spacious and clean. The food was amazing, and their natural juice was equally impressive. I went with the pineapple juice, which was fresh and delicious. The only downside was their sauces, which were a bit watered down and lacked flavor. What we ordered: Patacón Burger $15.00 My choice--delicious and filling! My wife chose the Beef Arepa $12.00 and it came with black beans, beef, and cheese. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit. Give it a try--you won't be disappointed! read more

Pick up order for lunch went smooth. Our Hamburguesas and tequeños were fresh and extremely delicious. Great food, great customer service. Their salsa picante is a must! Very clean restaurant. Muchas gracias por su excelente servicio. read more

Came here for lunch and had a great experience. Ordered chicken and beef empanadas and they were some of the best I ever had. Service was great there was no wait read more

I know it's in a gas station but these empanadas and arepas are the closest that I've had that hit home. Don't be afraid by the gas station vibe the food and service from the place overpower the creepy gas station vibe. I would 100% recommend this place for a road trip or just a snack. read more

Wow, what a wonderful place. I was delivering across the street and walked in for something fresh cooked and my gosh it was delicious. It was like a biscuit but not near as heavy. Absolutely delicious. Friendly people with a friendly vibe. Thanks! read more

Great tasting food, big portion size and the price was great. I will definitely go back again. Nice customer service also.

This hidden gem has one of the best Arepas in Orlando!! From their Carne Mechada Arepa (shredded beef and venezuelan cheese stuffed in a corn Arepa), Reina Pepiada (Shredded chicken, avocado, white cheese, mayo), to their Queso empanada... Impeccable. It's usually super fast ordering + pickup when you place online. Definitely recommend for a quick bite to eat if you're tired of fast food! read more

Hole in the wall! Definitely freshly made and authentic. Quite some choices, good and flavorful ingredients, all the sauces are good but the spicy one and the mint one are sooo good! Kinda long wait to get the food but it is fine as it is made from scratch! Only down side is the price, it feels overpriced as we paid over $40 for 2 arepas, 1 side and 1 drink... read more

Yummy and filling! My arepa de pernil was flavorful and the arepa gave a satisfying crunch. We could tell the food was fresh, and we received it fairly quick. I would recommend if off of Narcoossee. read more

Yes, it's in a gas station, however, it's very clean and I highly recommend the arepas. They are making these to order as there was only 1 other person in line waiting for their food but it did take almost 15 min. But it's absolutely worth the wait. The shredded beef with white shredded cheese was so flavorful and salty from the cheese (but not too salty). It was a tad greasy and you would have difficulty eating it in the car as it could get a little messy despite then wrapping it well. I also ordered the Carne Asada with the grilled cheese. You could probably eat this one in the car, but may lose a few pieces of the beef. The grilled thick slice of cheese was excellent and the beef was charred perfectly. The cilantro sauce and garlic sauce were perfect accompaniment to ad extra flavor. I was surprised how well the grilled arepa held up. Others I've had can get crumbly. I drove about 40 minutes home to eat these and they made it. They both even reheated nicely in a skillet covered for my son to share several hours later. I look forward to having these again. Don't miss out. read more

Good food but it's pricey and the employees don't seem thrilled to work there. My cheese arepa wasn't even melted so I had to wait until I got home to heat it up and eat it. I would've preferred to eat it on my way home instead! However, once I did, it was really good. read more

This place is located inside a BP gas station. It was quite dirty with trash on most tables, floors and booths. The food was decent for the price. The hamburger was ok but had waaayyy to much mayo. If deciding what to order here, go with the arepa. It's cooked to perfection and you can build it your way or get one of their favorites. tasty but I won't be back due to lack of cleanliness. They don't care if you have a mask on either. read more

Food is very good. Pleasant employees. Never thought I'd like it being inside a gas station but I am glad I tried it.

In my opinion, the arepa was okay. We did a pickup and it was really easy to order online. I got the fried pork (Arepa de cochino frito) & the pork itself was flavorful and crunchy. The disappointing part of the arepa is how little cheese I got. It made the arepa really dry and felt like I was eating just dough and meat. Personally, I don't think I would get it again. But the Beef Empanada was really good. It was crispy and flavorful. Definitely was my favorite out of the two. I think the dough is different and tasted sweeter, but I honestly prefer it this way. read more

I went to Arepa Station while I was running some errands near the airport area, I really was craving an arepa, looked into the Yelp app to find places nearby, saw a few int he app and decide to go to Arepa station, and I'm happy I did because the arepa I got was so good. It's inside a gas station, has plenty of seats to eat in, went midday after lunch, and there wasn't much of a line at all, I wait like 10 minutes for then to serve the food. I ordered a Reina Pepiada, which is an arepa stuffed with a chicken avocado mayo salad and white shredded cheese, and I ordered a Colombian apple soda, which reminds of home, it was delicious the whole meal, and very filling. There were not that many people at the time, saw some customers inside, and a few got in and ordered while I was there, I could see was a popular place, people ordered and went their way. I liked it, they seem to have, besides arepas, lunch specials, soups, empanadas, appetizers, and desserts, so I see myself going back there and trying more of what they have to offer. read more

A really interesting and different take on burgers. Next time, I'll keep it simple with a good old fashioned cheeseburger. Good value for the money. read more

Went in because of their reviews, the food was ok, but what I found crazy was the price. An arepa for $20+ dollars is insane especially when the establishment is Inside a gas station and you order/pick up your food in the counter. read more

Very good! Santa Venezuelan food. It's in a gas station so I always get it to go and I'm in the area for work usually monthly and this is a regular stop for me. read more

Guys guys guys!!!! Check it out!!!! What a GREAT FIND in a gas station! Heading to the airport for a flight home, we had to fill up the gas tank on the rental car- with not much time to spare, we decide to get a bite to eat here at this GREAT Venezuela Restaurant... don't be fooled, IT IS inside the gas stations store. We tried several different things. I can't even pronounce them or remember what they were called but everything was very tasty. My choice though would be: is the shredded chicken (hands down the best ) inside what look like to be a gordita sliced in half. So the breading on it, taste a lot like a corn Gordita . the chicken flavor was excellent and very moist. I also got a side of plantains and they were delicious. Just a side note, if you get the lunch special, it comes with a salad. Be prepared because the salad is made with some type of a mustard dressing. So if you're not to keen to the taste of mustard this might not be the salad for you. It also has Parmesan cheese. And we're back in Florida and having to go to the airport. Will make sure to make this stop before we go home. Will definitely be back again keep up the great work thanks for the good eats. read more

I came here again to get the pepito especial with beef the next day/ after my first visit. Got the fish empanada and tequenos againnnnn on my second visit-- this time I had people to share it with. I was a bit disappointed in my lack of vegetables in the arepa previously, but you can always ask them to substitute or add vegetables! If you get any of the arepa burgers or burgers, you can add fries for only just $1 more. I decided to get the pepito especial because it says it comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and the sauce in this was heavenly. I think they might have added the green sauce(maybe) in it, but it was already creamy and savory inside, all I had to add was the salsa just for a little spice. Everything in this sandwich was perfect. They did not skimp out on anything. I tasted the beef, the bacon, the ham, the sauce. Delicious! This sandwich is pretty big. It's at least 8 inches (or matbe 10). I couldn't finish it by myself in one sitting, but it came in a nice to-go box that I just took with me and finished later. We ordered for 8 people and the food came out quickly! read more

Three stars because it's hard to ignore the fact that this eatery is in a gas station. Sharing half the space with a small convenience store. You can even buy flip flops while waiting for your order to be cooked. Honestly, the food is good though. We liked their chicken pepito and the pollo asado arepa con queso amarillo. The pollo mechado arepa was good because of the pollo flavor. The arepas could have been a little more cooked/toasted but the filling made up for it. They also have a lot of delicious sauces, you can pick however many you want. If you see Arepa Burger at this gas station, definitely give them a try for good, well priced food. read more

El lugar está limpio y la atención es muy buena, sin embargo la masa de las empanadas nos pareció un poco gruesa.

Patacon with shredded beef was really good. Lots of veggie toppings and sauce. Pepito was also really good. Potato sticks were a nice touch Fries were nice and crispy. Perfect with the garlic sauce. read more

Venezuelan flare means your not going to hear a lot of english spoken here but who cares. That's not what you come here for and btw this state is one big beautiful melting pot of people and cultures and that's a good thing. Service is incredible everyone is friendly. I get a funny roadside vibe from this place like when I was a little kid on road trips with my parents. My dad would stop anywhere for a meal because you just never know what your going to experience. Arepa Burger does not let you down. I've been there several times and it's been amazing each time. Food is the same day or night not like some places where there is a night crew that cooks awesome and a day crew that just doesn't care. I wanted to know why locals kept mentioning this place so I've ordered a few different things and it's all really tasty. Don't be scared away by the location just off the freeway at a gas station. This place is worth a visit if you want good comfort food made with passion. read more

Good food! In a gas station. Isn't pretty but the flavor, culture and options make up for it! Thankful for my fellow Yelpers recommending! read more

Arepa Burger is located inside a BP gas station near Lake Nona where 528 and Narcoossee Rd meet. It is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall establishment, and yes, it's good. They serve arepas, burgers, cachapas, tequenos, empanadas, cachitos, pepito, patacon, sancocho, pabellon criollo, natural juice beverages, and Venezuelans sodas & candies. Choose your meat, customize your dish - staff are kind and want you to enjoy their food. Everything is made to order, so be patient and you will get piping hot, fresh food. There is booth seating inside and typical gas station parking outside. Support small businesses! read more

After arriving to Orlando at night and looking for something to eat we found this place which is located at a gas station. I was hesitant to go because I have never had good food at a gas station but fortunately we decided to go and try it. So this is really inside a gas station, you order at the counter and wait for your food and there are tables to eat and it has very reasonable prices. We tried different type of arepas and they were really good the dough and its consistency was very good as well as the fillings, we also tried a Pepito (which I never had before) and it was very good too. Add garlic sauce to your arepas or pepito and it tastes even better. Good thing they close late at night so if you have a late flight and you are hungry this is a good place to go. read more

Really middle of the road in terms of flavors but beyond that talk about horrible service. The guy at the counter acted like he could care less and there was NO ONE in there but it took almost 45mins to get out food. Shredded beef was not bad, the Yuka was plain no sauce nothing just plain, the plantains were decent, but that's about it. One and done. Plus the place is a bit shady but if the food and service was good I could look past that. read more

I ordered the Arepa de Pernil and was not disappointed! Many establishments over salt their pernil, but Arepa Burger seasoned it excellently, and the cheese was also fantastic. It's a very large portion. I had plenty for lunch and leftover for dinner! The tequeños were the best though. So simple and perfect in every way. read more

This was our first visit and of course we had to order the Arepa Burger $7.99 and we also ordered a side of Tequeno's $4.99. We like arepas like what you get at some of the festivals, craft and art shows. In this form as a burger, it's interesting but not our favorite. These come with a decent sized burger patty, a fried egg, bacon, ham, potato sticks, cheese, lettuce, tomato and a mayo/ketchup mixture and this is surrounded not by a bun but by grilled arepa corn cakes. The Mayo-ketchup mixture was a bit heavy for my taste and overwhelmed the rest of the flavors. I can't really say that the rest of it was fully flavored because I just couldn't tell. This was interesting to try but it's over now and I don't need to try again. It was sizable too as I did not and could not finish mine. The Tequenos were served in a tray of 5 short ones. They were very tasty and worth getting again and again. They have several sauces to choose from and we liked the corn sauce which is a light creamy white sauce that was nice with the Tequenos, although they were fine by themselves. This fast food restaurant is in a gas station and has at least 11 booths to sit in. You order at the counter and they call you to pick it up at the counter when your food is ready. I rated this 3 stars just because the burger wasn't my favorite. This may be an amazing experience for someone else. read more

For a hole in the wall spot attached to a gas station I have to say this place is pretty good. Although, I wish that I would have ordered something different, my food was great. After reading other reviews and hearing someone in the place make a recommendation, I would say to try one of the arepas. I tried the regular burger which in my head I thought would be a burger on arepas totally my fault for screwing that up. It's a burger on burger buns. Cooked well, but the cheese that is on it is not melted. It's shredded cheese which is a little different. (4/5) My wife tried the arepa queso which she said was good, but she wishes the cheese was melted. (3/5) We also ordered the Tequenos which were DEVINE!!!! These were the absolute star of the show! Incredibly delicious and totally worth it. (6/5 - this should tell you how good they were) I'd want to give this place another shot for myself, but I'd recommend it. It's honestly really gokd read more
