Everything we tried was delicious, hot, and fresh. It was a sampler platter table of everyone ordering and passing them around (my favorite style) so we tried 4 arepa options - both traditional and a 'pick what you want'. Arepas are hard to find around here, and good ones have been hard to find since Arepa Mia closed. No frills, lots of options, clean restaurant. It was busy, but the food came out quickly and tables turned freeing up space. (They also reheated well for breakfast!) read more

Delicious and authentic Arepas! They were out of quite a few different ingredients so definitely check with them what arepa you want beforehand if you really want a specific one. Spanish is definitely helpful but not required. Delicious, well-priced, we will be back! read more

I probably would have felt differently if I'd never had Arepa Mia... but if that's a 5, then this is definitely a 3. We were hoping to pick up a quick bite on our way home from the Brookhaven Dog Park, and since we had the dog with us, ideally at a place with an outdoor patio where he could be with us. There was a sidewalk with maybe a table and a couple of chairs and what appeared to be a defunct order window (didn't look particularly inviting), so we decided to do pickup instead and leave the car running for the dog. The online order feature on the website didn't work, so we ventured inside. This was my first time also visiting the Plaza Fiesta, which is a whole other experience (and review) in and of itself. Placing the order (in English) was easy enough and we were told 20 minutes for the wait time, so we ventured out into other world that is the Plaza Fiesta. The food was waiting for us by the time we got back and it was about another 10 minutes before we ate it. We both really, really loved the empanada. We shared the Arepa Llanera which had grilled steak which was a little too fatty for my liking and also very sloppily assembled. My bf reported liking the burger but I didn't have enough of it to form an opinion. If we do go back, it would be for the empanadas for sure, but we will visit Arepa Mia when we have the taste for an arepa. read more

This is a small Venezuelan restaurant in Doraville in a diverse shopping center with lots of food to try. Plenty of parking. You order at the counter, seat yourself, and the food is brought out to you. The staff was very friendly. Now about this food...delicious and filling! No complaints whatsoever. We ordered the Cachapa for with Venezuelan cheese Kid approved because my son had no complaints & loved the cheese. For myself I got the Reina Pepiada! This lil thing was so yummy and filling with chunks of mashed avocados. The chicken salad was super fresh! I want another just talking about it! They had a variety of sauces which I had 2 favorites, sriracha and avocado. Of course we had churros for dessert which were hot and ready to be devoured! Do yourself a favor and go eat here now! read more

Nice cheap spot for authentic Venezuelan food on Buford hwy! Arepa Grill gets pretty busy, but food comes out fast. We started with the arepa tour which came with an assortment of arepas. Out of the arepas I liked the reina pepiada the most but the pork ones were good too. We then had hot dogs to share which were stuffed with toppings. We ended with my favorite part of the meal which was the caramel and Nutella churros. Overall, I will def be back to Arepa Grill to try more of their arepas and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area! read more

I've been here twice and the food and drinks have been great! The first time I came I ordered the Cheese Cachapa, Arepa Tour and the Arepa Pabellon. All of which were hot, fresh and flavorful. You can tell the food is made to order. Second time around I ordered the Venezuelan Sampler and the Shredded Chicken Patacon, again both very good. The Sampler I would suggest more of as a shared appetizer because it's mostly fried starches stuffed with cheese. Not really meal worthy but great to share. Just an Fyi all the Patacon are served with a slice of ham (for the no pork folks), even if you decide to order a chicken or beef one, just ask prior to ordering. This is a smaller, very causal, restaurant inside of a strip mall. You place orders at the counter and someone will bring your food to the table. There is both indoor and outdoor seating but seats fill up quickly so be prepared to take food to go or eat in the car lol. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. read more

I discovered Arepa Grill when I searched for a new restaurant to try on Buford Highway. Service was a little slow, but the food did not disappoint. It was the real deal. Venezuelan cuisine. The arepas I had here were some of the best, most filling, and delicious arepas I've had anywhere. The patacon sandwich and cachapa were terrific too. If you don't know what any of these are, they're described in more detail below. This isn't a full-fledged restaurant. It's a food stall inside popular and busy Plaza Fiesta (Hispanic shopping center). Unlike most food and beverage vendors at Plaza Fiesta, however, Arepa Grill also has a takeout window outside the building. You don't actually have to go inside to order. Arepa Grill is located on the northwest corner of Plaza Fiesta. It's easiest to get to if entering from Dresden Drive or Clairmont Road. There's plenty of parking, but you might have to park a little further away because Plaza Fiesta is often crowded. Arepa Grill is also situated next door to one of the mall's busy points, at one of the entrances/exits to the food court, playground, and event space. As far as on-site dining, the restaurant has three small tables for two inside (six seats total) and four tables outside on the patio, next to the takeout window. All the patio tables have retractable umbrellas. The patio has some planter boxes for decor and partitioning. Inside and out, the business has put some noticeable effort into making itself look polished and more presentable with modern-looking branding/signage along with contemporary furniture. There's more interior seating in the food court's common area dining room. I believe Arepa Grill opened sometime in early 2020. The first Yelp review was in February 2020. The business' Facebook page was created and first Instagram post was made in May 2020. Arepa Grill social media links: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ArepaGrillAtlanta/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/arepagrillatlanta/ I ordered takeout and here's what I got: Arepas - grilled white corn pockets with the below fillings * Arepa Pabellon ($7.99) - shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans, and shredded white cheese * Arepa Reina Pepiada ($6.99) - shredded chicken, avocado, and mayonnaise * Patacon ($9.99) - fried plantain sandwich made with sweet plantains, coleslaw, ham, cheese, mayo, ketchup, avocado sauce, and a mix of shredded beef and chicken * Cachapa ($8.99) - corn pancake made with maize kernels, water, and milk, flat-griddled, with shredded cheese and cream, white cheese inside, and a side of whipped butter The arepas were outstanding. One of my friends asked me how Arepa Grill compares to Arepa Mia (https://bit.ly/39kHRYo). I told her Arepa Mia is good, Arepa Grill is great. While you can't go wrong with either, I found the arepas from Arepa Grill to be the biggest and tastiest I've had yet. They were fresh and packed with lots of flavor (more flavor than Arepa Mia). Where Arepa Mia wins is with the dine-in experience because Arepa Mia actually has a proper dining room. I loved everything about the arepas. Even the grilled ground maize dough by itself was delicious. The Arepa Pabellon and the Arepa Reina Pepiada were very different, but equally gratifying. The Arepa Pabellon was dense, meaty, heavy, and hearty. These were like sandwiches or - better comparisons - gorditas or pita pockets. Despite being generously-stuffed with ingredients, each arepa held up well. One Arepa Pabellon will serve you well as a meal. The Arepa Reina Pepiada was outstanding. It was perhaps my single all-time favorite arepa to date. Soft, ripe avocado. Tender, creamy chicken. It tasted like a delectable Venezuelan chicken salad. I couldn't stop eating it. It was really, really good. You can customize the Patacon a few different ways. First, you have the option to get it with either fried green plantains or sweet plantains (I chose the latter). Second, your meat options are shredded beef, chicken, or both. Getting a mix of both isn't mentioned on the menu, but my server, Luis, told me it was an option, so that's what I got. Like the Arepa Pabellon, the Patacon was dense and filling. It put me into a food coma. It was also a thing of beauty. It's called a "sandwich" on the menu, but you're better off attacking it with a fork and knife. It's more like a plated entree. The Cachapa was phenomenal. They have a few Cachapa options. I went with Luis' recommendation of a cheese Cachapa (I already had enough meat from the above items). These are accurately described on the menu as "Venezuelan corn pancakes." They almost tasted like a savory dessert. The pancakes had extremely appetizing texture and with all the butter, cheese (white, light, mild), and cream, well, it's hard not to like. I highly recommend it, along with the other three items above. I placed my order on a Sunday at 12:48 PM. Employee Vanessa H called me at 1:15 PM to tell me my order was ready, so there was a bit of a wait. It was busy. read more

Excellent service and food. Brings be back to my upbringing's. Very casual, but fresh and delish. I highly recommend.

I did takeout. The arepa was fresh; not much seasoning or choices as compared to Guasaca in Durham, NC; if there was a Guasaca in Decatur, I'd go everyday. You could pick the items that you wanted, I.e., cooked mushrooms, caramelized onions, plantain, guacamole, black beans, etc, and wonderful sauces. The menu was extensive! read more

You jealous.....if you're not eating like this then you should be. I'm about to start walking around and slapping people's food on the floor. Like, "WTF are you feeding yourself?!!" I was depressed when the Arepa Mia close to our home closed. Then we discovered Arepa Grill. I love this place so much I came 2 days in a row. You can tell the arepas are made fresh from scratch. Absolutely delicious! The aguas (waters/drinks) are too! I love the mora (blackberry) and the sugar cane lemonade. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but no worries. You can go eat in the common area of the mall where there is plenty of seating. I also like a little spice. Venezuelans aren't big on spice, so we grab some salsas to go from a nearby restaurant. I highly recommend this place. They have 2 locations. One in Plaza Fiesta and one in Doraville. I go to the one in Plaza Fiesta. Go get you some. read more

Well, we read an article about this little place in Fiesta Plaza on Buford Hwy and it sounded wonderful. Today we finally arrived (didn't want to go on the weekend because we have read they are very busy) at this little gem. We ordered way too much food and almost ordered more. We ordered: - Tequenos: They were just as I had remember some 45 years ago while visiting Venezuela. The cheese was encased in a very light dough and deep fried. At $1 a piece you can't go wrong. - Empanada de Pabellon: I had never had an empanada with anything other than either cheese or shredded beef, onions and cheese. The Empanada de Pabellon cost $3.99 and was huge while others at other arepa places are about a third of the size as Arepa Grill and twice the cost. The empanada was the best we have ever had. It was filled with shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans and white cheese. They wrapped them perfectly to go. This empanada was the least greasy of any we have ever had. - Black Vegan Arepa. The arepa was perfectly cooked. A mixture of black beans, sweet plantains and avocado. Again this was a monster. Huge and delicious. Oh, and I added white cheese and that was no problem what so ever. - The Sauces: A green avocado sauce that was outstanding. A red sauce that had a little tiny hint of heat (I could have used more) however it was tasty. And a white sauce which had somewhat of a horseradish taste with a lot of garlic. All were tasty and only made the perfect food even better. Service at Arepa Grill was outstanding. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare the food but who cares when it turns out so fresh and perfect. I loved being to order individual pieces, at reasonable prices. A better way to get more tastes! We can't wait to return and try other treats. Also excited for another location to open down the road in June. read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Get a reservation because it's been discovered. Good steak, cervechi and chicken with mushrooms. Gazpacho is a favorite dish of mine, but sadly theirs is pretty bland. read more

To be honest, I could not tell you what exactly I ate other than it was all delicious! Definitely super filling and a bang for your buck. My friend ordered and he picked a good variety of everything to try and nothing missed the mark. We even got churros at the end but had to force ourselves through how full we are. Definitely some of the best churros in the city though! read more

Alright, Venezuelan here, and MY GOSH, this place knows Venezuelan food, the arepas? AMAZING. The empanada? Impeccable. Ya'll are missing out, you need to come try this food, YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! (In a good way lol ) Would ABSOLUTELY recommend. read more

Last week after years of planning to go I finally made it to @arepagrillatlanta on @welovebuhi. I first had arepas at a Venezuelan friend's house when his mom prepped the filling and the actual arepa for us and I throughly enjoyed it but sadly I hadn't had one after that until we went here. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years but man was it worth the wait - let's break down why: 1. The arepa: arepas are like little buns made of ground corn, pan fried these are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. 2. The meat: I had my arepa filled with shredded chicken, it was juicy and super flavorful 3. The cheese: topped with shredded Gouda (wasn't expecting that in a Hispanic dish) complemented perfectly with the chicken Bonus: the gentlemen who took our order (probably the owner) was so passionate about the food and explained different items on the menu. I'm going to be back at Arepa Grill soon to try some new things!!! read more

Amazing. I absolutely recommend the XL beef burger (comes with fresh fries) and the chicha drink for two people. The burger was stacked with bacon, egg, tomato, you name it- it was just incredible. The chicken arepa was also very tender and juicy, but after the burger and drink, I was so full! This is located inside a plaza, and there's only two tables for dine-in, but the staff was so friendly. I want to return back for sure!! read more

Visited March 6 2020 Circling and walking through Plaza fiesta and wanting lunch, the unassuming Arepa Grill (Venezuelan eats) came to view and there was one 5 star review that gushed on and on about it. I'm glad I followed the advice of that review because I went in to see what they were all about (Thanks Denise D!). If you're not careful when you're inside of Plaza fiesta, you'll walk right past Arepa Grill, which is tucked away in a little walkway with just a couple of tables. There is a dedicated restaurant however, but wherever you decide to sit, just go here. After getting suggestions from staff, I decided on the following: Patacones Maduro Carne ($7.99) From the moment the plate hit the table, I was blown away by the colors and size of the dish. Crispy plantain slices were used as the 'bread' of this sandwich, and it was stuffed with layers of cheese, pork and sauces. Every bite of this thing was delicious, full of flavors some of which i'd never experienced before. Definitely recommended! Staff were just great here, very friendly, bubbly and happy to have me as a first time visitor to try their food. They also bring out to your table four of their sauces. Decide which one is your favorite of these! Parking here is absolutely no problem being inside Plaza fiesta, and while I didn't go inside the restaurant, it's a decent size from the outside with outdoor seating as well. Please check out Arepa Grill for some good Venezuelan food. I definitely know i'll be back! read more

The day we came, they were playing some reggaton. The place is quaint but very clean and the staff is very nice. My food was served on a cutting board platter. Everything was very nicely seasoned. We stopped in because of the great ratings on Yelp and were not disappointed. I would recommend you put this place on your list and stop in to try it. Can't sit a spell? You can get it to go. Sweet! read more

order anything, you just cant go wrong. very very slow service, but bc the food is that amazing, 5 stars. E X P E R I E N C E i ordered take out for 7 adults via call on a sat afternoon. the lady on the phone was nice but did not speak English well (barely passing) so I had to clarify my order a few times. she would speak in spanish sometimes. she said food would be ready in 15mins but when we arrived after 30 mins, she asked me to pay and then she said she would need another 10. we ended up waiting a total of 50 mins for food. F O O D pabellon arepa grilled reina pepiada arepa grilled 2 beef empanada 2 chicken empanada Patacones, sweet, beef Pineapple burger, lg, beef Pelua arepa grilled everything is amazing but i'd say highlights are patacones and the burger. the flavor of the meat is strong and well balanced. the breading is fluffy and nicely toasted. portions are large. everyone was well fed (to the point of explosion) and I kept eating bc it was so tasty, even though I was already full. and we still had enough for one more meal.

Today was the first time going to this restaurant with my family. I have to say that it is one of the best Venezuelan restaurants that I have been since I moved to the United States 23 years ago. I lived 21 1/2 years in South Florida where is full of Latin restaurants, and this is the best Venezuelan arepa that I've eaten. I ordered La criolla arepa; the steak was juicy, tender and well seasoned. I loved the balance between the steak, cheese and the sweet plantains. The green sauce was really good too. My husband ordered a cachapa and it was delicious. We'll be back. read more

WHERE is Arepa Grill? My GPS dumps me out in the parking lot of Fiesta Plaza and says I'm there. ????? I assume it's inside the mall, but I've walked all over the inside and I didn't find it. Another review says it has outdoor seating; so I've driven around the outside of the mall several times and I didn't find it. I think this listing on Yelp is a hoax. I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to change my rating to more than one star if someone can prove to me that Arepa Grill is not fictitious. Found it! Never mind . If I was any stupider you'd have to shoot me. read more

I had an empanada and my daughter had the corn fritter thing (pictured); I can't remember what it is called but it was good and a large portion. It has a sweet flavor due to the corn fritter being the binder. We sat outside on a nice day. Service was a bit slow but everything is made to order, so worth the wait! read more

Arepa Grill is finally in an area where not most of the Venezuelan Restaurants are that is Gwinnett County. Finally something closer to home. It is in Plaza Fiesta but you can eat outside the mall ir do Takeout. I tried the cachapas, ham and cheese pastelitos, pabellón empanadas and Tequeños.
