“ We had an arepa and their special. So good! They had a habanero based spicy sauce and an avocado sauce that made the food taste infinitely better. We came near closing and were able to order quickly and eat before they closed. Staff were great and a great plus is that they have customer bathroom! ”
“ One of my friends had been hyping up this cozy Venezuelan spot in Astoria as having some of the best arepas around. He wasn't wrong - my arepa with pernil was huge and really good, especially with the extra sauces at the table! They have really tasty sangrias too! The service was also good and they were able to take a last minute seating for our group. ”
“ This place has great and unique food. Venezuela food is something different for my taste buds. The sauces are also great. ”
“ Ate here today for dinner by myself after work while being a temporary substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 112 Q. I had tried and brought the mini platter with a side of arepa and a cold and refreshing can of Venezuelan soda that it was really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and friendly. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) ”
“ Ordered: Passion Fruit Sangria Pitcher (~$36): with white wine Mini Platter (~$19): 3 tequeños, 3 mini cachapas, 3 mini empanadas, 4 yuca fries Arepa Pabellon (~$15): shredded beef, black beans, grated white cheese, and fried sweet plantains Arepa Pabellon de Pollo (~$15): shredded chicken, black beans, grated white cheese, and fried sweet plantains Aya's take: I've been to Arepas Cafe once before but it was their other (now closed) location on Broadway. Glad this one is still around! We started off with the Passion Fruit Sangria Pitcher which was light, fruity, and refreshing. The Pitcher makes about 4 glasses, so it's great for sharing! The Mini Platter is the perfect appetizer to start with as you get to try a bunch of their appetizers. I'm a big fan of the cachapas; these were a bit greasy and tasted like meat or whatever was on the grill before they made these. The empanadas and yuca fries were also delicious and went well with both sauces. The pink sauce was like a ketchup & mayo blend while the white one is nata aka a Venezulan sour cream. It's more buttery and soft than a typical sour cream. The Arepas are huge! We got one with shredded chicken and one with shredded beef. The beef definitely had better flavor and paired so well with their green sauce. We could've just gotten 1 Arepa since they're huge and stuffed to the brim. Probably one of the only places left in Astoria you can get some delicious arepas! Do yourself a favor and come by! ”
