    Wow! My beef arepa was soooo good! It took about 20 minutes to prepare but worth the wait. The kiosk looked clean. Will return again if in the area!

    So happy this authentic Venezuelan food experience has a place in 3rd Street Market Hall. Not only are the owners so sweet, their food is delish. I've had their arepas from the Zocalo location, but this was my first time to this spot. Service was friendly and speedy. I took home a few items... a chicken empanada, fried plantains, and a beef arepa with feta cheese. Hands down the arepa was my fave. So packed - with food and flavor - and clearly freshly made. I love the arepa flat bread. It has such a unique texture. The empanada was also tasty. A little bready for me in that it's a thick pastry, but good nonetheless. Fried plantains were plentiful and came with a nice sauce. Speaking of sauce, honestly all of them were amazing. Especially the green (avocado?) sauce for the arepa. Definitely give them a try on your next food hall visit!

    This was my first visit to the 3rd St Market Hall. It was on a Sunday and it was packed. We found parking a block away and walked over. The place was churning with people, I had to weave in and out of folks while walking around, and there were a lot of families with young children. After walking around, I decided to try the Arepas. I was in line, and when I got to the cashier I was told by the folks ahead of me that we had to place an order online in order to get our food here. Well, the woman ahead of me in line was frustrated by that and left. I decided to go ahead and order. The two customers in front of were having trouble ordering but somehow I made it through. Here's a hint if it happens to you: you have to "open a tab" when you order online. Once you "open a tab", that puts your order through. You'll get a reminder later to pay your bill. I asked them what was the reason for the online order only, and they said they were training some staff. Once you place your online order, then you wait. Just move to the window on the opposite side of the cashier where you pick up your food. The one staff person that I interacted with was friendly (just one woman who was cooking in the front, though I saw others in the back cooking). I ordered the chicken arepas, which are also topped with black beans and sweet potatoes, and I opted for monterey jack cheese and the spicy sauce. The arepas are stuffed with these ingredients. Once I got my food, I sat down across from Dairyland where there were tables and chairs. If you're really hungry, one of these might not be enough. I was ok with one at that time. It was hot and pretty good, but it's on the pricier side, and not enough for a full meal. It's good, but you'll need to supplement if you're counting on this for a full lunch or dinner. 3rd Street Market Hall, I'll be back to try more!

    Saucy I've been going to the Zocalo location since they opened but the new breakfast arepas are going to keep me coming back to the Market Hall. Chicken arepas as my go-to for a quick togo lunch but the breakfast version with egg and bacon is simply amazing. The hours for breakfast are a little limiting, but perhaps service is quicker during this time with less traffic. I'm all for their sauces - the garlic sauce is amazing. Staff is always super friendly but the wait can be long during lunch or dinner hours due to the fact that the arepas are all made to order.

    This place was very tasty. I live in Michigan and although we have empanadas, I don't see arepas that much, so I was excited to try it out. I got the beef arepa with garlic sauce, sweet plantains, and feta cheese. It was pretty tasty and if you're looking for something gluten-free, all of their stuff is, which is cool. I was super hungry so I also got a chicken empanada, with garlic sauce. I enjoyed both of these but the arepa was my favorite. The empanada came with shredded chicken and a garlic dipping sauce although you have your choice of dipping sauce. The only thing I can criticize here is the price, one empanada was $7 although rather large, and an arepa was around $13 or $14 I think. I was surprised at the reviewer on here who said the arepa was more like a snack though - It was rather huge and definitely enough for a meal, IMO. This place is part of the 3rd Street Food Hall which is also a very cool venue.

    This was a nice surprise and really enjoyable. I had never had Venezuelan food before. But when I saw the gluten free sign, I knew I had to try it. I got a veggie arepa that was GF, vegan and dairy free -- and delicious! It was a warm soft bread with black beans, fried ripe plantains wrapped inside. Wish I had another opportunity to get another one but maybe next time in Milwaukee I will get another or two or three ...

    We are visiting MKE and stopped in what is apparently a very new 3rd Street Market Food Hall and found Anytime Arepas. I'm a sucker for a good arepa and my daughter saw the chicken salad w/ avocado one so that sealed the deal. The staff was very nice. It's a food hall so it's counter service. The arepas were absolutely delicious! This was my daughters first arepa and she loved it. They are a good size and really stuffed so it makes the price easier to swallow. $12 and $13 for arepas sounded pricey but they do give you a lot for the money. My beef arepa was exactly what I expected. The arepas were crispy on the outside but still soft and buttery on the inside. It's my first time in MKE so I'm not sure how common arepas and Venezuelan food is here; but I hope they do well! I'm spoiled in Orlando with tons of different Latin foods so I'm used to it but I wish them lots of success here. This market/arcade/food hall is awesome so they should have lots of business.

    My pork arepa had a perfect balance of savory pork and black beans, sweet plantains, and flavorful cornmeal bun:)

    This place is one of the many hidden gems of the town of Waukesha. Venezuelan food is kind of hard…read moreto find all across the USA, so I was blown away to find a place in this town that doesn't just do Venezuelan food -- it does Venezuelan food right. The owner is one of the nicest people you will meet and you can see the sheer passion just oozing from him. He makes you feel like a guest in his own home and he is so obviously proud of the food he serves. That pride is well deserved -- this is some of the best Venezuelan food I've ever had, anywhere in the world. The pabéllon and the reina pepeada are especially worthy of mention, with the pabéllon in specific being one of the best things I've ever eaten. The yuca frita is delightful -- fried to perfection, with a delicious chimmichuri-esque drizzle. The kids arepa is hilarious and hilariously good -- a ham and cheese delight tuned for the very German influenced palate around here. My kids and I hope to sample every last item on the menu. My only worry is that this is not a style of food that generally gets a lot of attention in this town -- this place is always rather empty whenever I come. I would love to see lines out the door, because that's what this place deserves, and that's how good the food is here. The fate of many ethnic restaurants in this area seems to be to go under -- and oftentimes that's not commentary on the quality of the food. The palate of the general population in this area tends to be less adventurous, and that puts restaurants like this at a disadvantage. That is to say: please come experience this place. Please come eat here. Please help make sure that this place sticks around.

    Lovely place, owner, and food. The real deal and the best arepas around. Thank you so much…read moreFrancisco!

Immediately upon entering you order your food and drinks at a counter. It's a large enough menu that it's a little overwhelming to order quickly; lucky for us there was no one waiting behind us. The staff members were friendly and patient. Once you've ordered, you're given a buzzer and you can find a seat. The space is decorated well, with fun art and homey touches. It's a large space and feels a little bit still like a fast food joint, but that's okay. It doesn't detract from the food. Our arepas were very good - mine was black bean and quite filling. My friend had a chicken arepa de choclo. We also enjoyed an order of elote on the side. I had a pisco sour, which was excellent, and pretty with the fun foam pattern on the top. This is the first time I've gone and not had an empanada. I love them, but the other dishes we tried were both good and interesting. This location is a great addition to the Pedro's family.

Nothing wrong with the food, have had better but it was good. Service was slow and the place was really loud. Came with friends and could not hold a conversation because with other tables filled it was so loud. Parking was hard to find, ended up parking four or five blocks away. For the price and experience, would not go back.

We were four and decided that two Smalls and two Mains would be a fine amount and it was. If you as a group are big eaters, maybe an extra small, but use this as a guide. The Smalls were the mussels (about a dozen) with such an incredible and hard to describe, taste. The other small was the NAPOLEON BUENOS AIRES, also unusual and special. For the Larges, we shared the SALMON A LA BRAZILEIRA and VENEZUELAN CARBONADA (no meat eaters here). Also a bit difficult to describe, but take my word for it, very special. As we were headed to an event with desserts, we didn't try any here (and also no one was drinking tonight). Would love to come back and try if I'm in Chicagoland again. Just go!
