    Patacon Bowl de Pollo Mechado
    Gillianna V.

    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.

    Blackberry juice yum!

    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!

    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!

    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...

    Carne Arepa Mechada
    Cynthia L.

    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!

    This is the carne asada with a grilled cheese slice (left) and shredded beef with shredded white cheese both cut in half to show the inside.

    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.

    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.

The chicken was juicy with that signature smoky, citrus-marinated flavor that sets Campero apart from regular fast food. You could tell it was freshly grilled, not just reheated, and the seasoning had a nice balance of salt, pepper, and herbs. The sweet plantains were caramelized just right--soft on the inside, slightly crisp around the edges, and paired perfectly with the savory chicken. Portion size was generous for the price, and the service was quick and friendly. The food felt authentic and comforting, a good mix between Latin home-style cooking and casual dining. Overall, I'd highly recommend the grilled chicken combo if you want something flavorful but not greasy. It's a great choice for a quick, satisfying meal that still feels fresh and wholesome.

I give this place 4.25 stars for a fast food place.

Instead, I was told she would "check in the back," and 15 minutes later she returned with my food claiming it had been there all along. To make matters worse, my daughter ordered her churrasco medium, and it came out well done. My drink was also forgotten. Mistakes happen, but what was most disappointing was the lack of ownership, communication, and effort to correct the situation. I asked to speak with a manager, but it seemed like the request was ignored or avoided. Coming from someone who has managed restaurants before, it is disheartening to see this level of service and lack of accountability. Unfortunately, based on this experience, my family and I will not be returning.
