Do not be fooled by the size of the arepas . One is surely enough for you. If you're feeling extra fat maybe get two. Try anything with slow stewed beef with habanero sauce . Mouth watering!
"Amid the mostly meaty options, the “Guayanesa Tropical” ($6) arepa holds its own, bolstered by a rich combination of fried sweet plantains , creamy wedges of avocado , and firm, mild Guyanese cheese ." Read more
Home-style Venezualan here. Order the Corn pancakes with salty cheese and sour cream ! Stewed chicken was ok but good arepa . Ask for the 2 home-made sauces, 1 mild and 1 spicy . Cheap and fun!
I can’t get enough of this place, if I lived close by I’ll be here all the time. I’ve tried other arepa places around but there’s nothing like Arepas Cafe ????
A place that u can go for a quick bite or make a night of it. They have a lot of different arepas & beyond. Food was good & they also serve alcohol . It has a good happy hour and The staff was decent.
Small place. Food is delish. Chicken soup is huge and amazing! Tastes homemade ! Wasn't impressed with the tres leche cake but otherwise all the food was great! Will be back!
The arepas were delicious! The veggie arepa was great, black beans , avocado and sweet plantains ????
Destination arepas ! Pabellon pernil is delicious. One arepa is probably enough.
Honestly everything is great in this place. Definitely try the Chicha as a light dessert . The Mami arepas is my favorite.
Thin griddled, overstuffed arepas occupy half the menu. Go for the porky mami, stewy pollo mechado, or vegetarian Guayanesa tropical.
A great taste of venezuelan and something unique. I loved the Mami arepa !
Authentic Venezuelan spot with great food and a really good selection of imported beers and wines .
Arepa pabellon is a must try, but the stewed meats are excellent as well . Best Venezuelan arepas I've had in NYC.
Eat the camerones arepas with the green sauce . Have the ice tea and also make sure the person you eat with over orders. This way you get to try the other arepas .
All of their arepas are great. The capacha is also spot on.
Passion fruit mimosa $4. FOUR DOLLARS. Every arepa is delicious. There is zero ambience here, but who cares when the food is so.damn.good.
Don’t underestimate the size of the arepa . One is more than enough with a shared appetizer .
Tried the Arepa Pabellon . Shredded meat. Mmmm. The portion looks small but you'll be full with one. Mayyyyybeee one and a half.
You really will be tempted to get 2 of these delicious arepas . Trust me, just get 1. 1 is more than enough.
Ok, let me say this place is amazing! Best arepas , cheaper than other ones! Anyone with sweet plantains , the best!
The pernil one with cheese and sweet plantains !
Sit at the bar . Order the Pabellon Criollo and Jugo de Parchita. Best $16 you'll spend that day.
The pork Pabellon arepa is my favorite!
This is one of the hidden gems of Astoria. All of the arepas are AMAZING. The mini cachapas are the best app.
The arepa pabellon is a must ! Get their empanadas too ????
I will be coming to Astoria weekly for the chicken arepas ! Good sangria too!
The arepa funghi is delicious, especially con queso . Don't miss the brown sugar lemonade !
You have to try the brown sugar lemonade . It's sweet and refreshing.
Delicious and great lunch special . Fried yuca is delicious with the spicy and cilantro sauce .
Great arepas , delicious drinks and good happy hour
Get the cinnamon drink and the cafe on leche is solid. also, the mami arepa was delishhhh
Best cachapas ever! So are the arepas , bomba arepa is my favorite, of course a Polar beer can't never miss it.
Pernil arepa is an excellent option.
Do not let the menu description confuse you-- the camarones arepa is with Pico de gallo , not "cooked with tomato onion sauce and cilantro ." Simple, still tasty, among the lighter arepas choices.
Delicious! The Sangria was great, and the service was wonderful! Can't wait to go back :)
Arepas of course but do not leave without trying the traditional CHICHA !!!!
I had my first bite of shark meat here. Taste like regular fish , but I have to admit I was a little nervous taking those bites.
Food is great, however upon checking in I was informed of a 50% discount offered on foursquare, showed the waitress but it was not honored even though I was within terms. Tisk Tisk foursquare.....
So far the arepa pabellon remains my favorite, and I've had almost everything on the menu! Mini empanadas with their delicious hot sauce and aioli is always a winner
No need to go to manhattan for some great Venezuelan-style arepas , and certainly no need to wait. Try the Mami or the Guayanese Tropical.
Really good arepas ! Order one arepas first because it's very filling.
Arepa Pabellon or you're doing it wrong. Savory, sweet, crunchy. It's why you should sit there in the first place.
Arepa Pabellon is fantastic, the Domino is pretty amazing. Have at with some Yuka fries and some white cheese ... perfection.
Best Venezuelan Food in New York city
All of their arepas are made fresh. I travel all the way from Brooklyn for arepas at Arepas Cafe. Enough said.
Don't get 2 for yourself, DON'T! Get one arepa with beans, plantains , and meat.
Chicken arepas were amazing. Add a cold corona and you're solid.
Great spot. Yummy arepas and friendly service .
Passion fruit sangria for 2 is the move!
Arepas pabellon and mami, very tasty. Also the tequeños.
great addition to the boardwalk.. funky chill vibe w/ delish arepas and drinks - Lisa Paravano
Get their La Vecina Arepa - ropa vieja, spinach, plantains & pico de gallo. Arepas are stuffed! Get their sangria slushie with condensed milk to that. Add a mango La Michoacana popsicle to your slush. - Kimmie Ohh
absolutely one of the worst arepas i've ever tasted. unless, of course, you love stale, bland, tasteless and lukewarm arepas. - christian svanes kolding
Great movie theatre especially for date night as there's a lot of cool restaurants and bar surrounding the area. Great screens! - Tracy Solorzano
Has so many cool pieces from all the classic movies! My favorite part was definitely the portrait gallery - Stephanie Niles
october fest is the best time to come, the smoked trout salad is awesome. it's also close enough to grab a quick beer before the movies. - Lauren
