“Cannot wait to go back!I had a pabellón arepa, a chicken empanada, a beef empanada and a passion fruit juice.The pabellón arepa was too good! I don’t really eat arepas (I’m a bad Venezuelan, oops) but I couldn’t resist because pabellón is my favorite. The shredded beef in this arepa was great, it wasn’t tough to eat and it was full of flavor.The empanada, which was actually a pastelito is made in the oven. I told the owner, Esteban, that they are pastelitos, not empanadas, he told me it’s easier for non-hispanics to have an idea of what the item on the menu is if described as an empanada which made sense to me.The chicken in the pastelito is shredded, these pastelitos are pretty darn tasty!I wasn’t a huge fan of the beef one but it was alright too. I’m definitely looking forward to more chicken “empanadas” haha.The passion fruit juice is always a fave for me because it reminds me of back home. Very refreshingI really enjoyed this little restaurant. They recently celebrated their first anniversary, I wish them many more ☺️The owner is super friendly, so Venezuelan. There is limited seating, only about 3 stools and a table by the window, which I guess is fun for people watching :pI love that they show some of their menu items on their Instagram, I hope they add more photos and videos. It’s always helpful for people who are trying food from another country for the first time to see photos.Oh! There is also a lady who makes custom cakes and cookies here, Sweethaze cakes but I did not try any of them. Very pretty cakes, you can check them out on InstagramVegetarian options: There is a vegan arepa on the menu.“
“White maize has the best venezuelan food i’ve ever tasted !! Arepas are full of protein and food, Delicious !! the flavors will melt into your mouth. service is great and the waiters are very polite, i definitely recommend coming here !! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“This place has really good food. The portions are small, however, and the prices are simply too large for the size of the arepas. Cheaper arepas are available in Brooklyn. Of course, the rent is cheaper in Brooklyn too. Again, the arepas themselves are great, they’re just a bit pricey.“
“I was craving cachapas and a friend recommended this place. Food was great, we ordered tequeños, cachapa and I forgot the name of the other plate, but it had fried yucca, meat and fried cheese. It was delicious. Service was a 10/10 they were amazing and we talked a bit about everything while waiting. Place was tiny, I honestly recommend doing take out, as most people do. We were the only ones there, but it was still quite small with 3 bistro tables with not so comfy stools. Great place though!Wheelchair accessibility: No“
“If you are Venezuelan and want to feel at home, this is the place!!! Here you will find typical food, empanadas, pabellón, cachapas, tequeños, our sweets, dulce de leche flip, sticks and even your favorite drinks, Malta, Cerelac, Toddy, you Polarcita and if you go to the bathrooms you will even find your favorite expressions At Christmas you can order your Christmas combos... but most importantly, Dennise's excellent service!!!“
“I was lucky enough to stumble upon this gem earlier this week. I’ve had many arepas before, but never stuffed.. My husband and I tried 2 different types (I cannot remember which ones exactly but two of them had plantains in them…YUM). Each one was delicious! And so filling. The ones we tried all had chicken as we aren’t big red meat eaters, but these were sooo good that I just may have to try the skirt steak next time!The man that took my order and prepared our food was so pleasant, I regret not getting his name but trust me, I will be back! ? 10/10! Highly recommend if you enjoy good food!“
“I've only been for their breakfast which is reminiscent of Dominican mangu with 3 golpes and pickled onions. Really good and affordable. Their tequeños which are breaded cheese sticks and choice of two sauces, one Cilantro based and the other mayo ketchup are delicious. Excellent juices that are not too sweet. Overall good in my book.“
“A patient brought the staff a huge order to the hospital and they were delicious! The red sauce was sweet and a tad tangy which i liked! I had the beef and they were prefect mini empanadas. I should have known this place was in the heart of Union City were latin/hispanic restaurants are too tier! I will def be taking a trip there!!“
“Y son had cachapa with a friend about 2 weeks ago and has been raving ever. We finally went with him on Saturday and returned on Sunday. We ordered cachapas, Chimi, yaroa and monfonguitos. All were good I would say the portions are big for 1 person small for 2. The juices were good as well.“
