    I found this place on Yelp after leaving Naval Station Mayport. The reviews and salads offered swayed me to try it and I was not disappointed! The service was excellent and the Gyro meat was some really of the best I've ever had! The seating area is small with only two tables and a bar area. There are a couple outside tables too for nice days. I saved it in my collection for a future return trip. Enjoy!

    Delicious tequenos

    Such a cute spot. Yelp has never steered us wrong. Arepa please got great reviews and I can see why. I asked for recommendation because I couldn't choose which arepa to try. Without hesitation they said the special is the pabellon. The meat was juicy tender and perfectly seasoned. The tequenos were also fantastic.

    Café con leche

    I love love love this place!!! The food is great! The ambience is quiet and quaint, whilst very Latin. The people who work inside are kind and the recommendation the hostess put me on to was to die for. I came late last night with my two teenage nephews hungry and in a hurry to eat something yummy. Arepa Please is one of my go-to spots to bring visiting families. So, just as years passed, we stopped in to try something new. I ordered the gyro salad for the first time alongside cachapas and a hot cafe con leche per the instructions of the hostess. Everything came out well presented, seasoned and portioned. The boys enjoyed a burger (that didn't last long at the table) and a burrito so good the other one was long sleep in the car on the way home. Go here! And their riverside location! That's all.

    Very amazing food! I got the queen and the pabellon and was thoroughly impressed. It did need a touch of salt however great non the less also the plantains were superb. For the price it's really not bad. Highly recommend and service was quick and the beautiful mural on the side was the cherry on top!

    Yummy little spot! Counter service, easy ordering, and clean spot. 2 tables and some bar like seating available. There are also a few tables outside. Ample parking

    I've had arepas before but nothing quite the arepas from Arepa Please. These arepas are monstrously big, are packed with flavor. Overall, it's a casual venue for a quick flavorful bite.

    I was hungry late late night and decided to give this place a try since I really like arepas. Also I really like how vibrant the restaurant looks from the outside. I just got one vegan arepa. When I ordered my food was ready very quickly. And when I took it out it was really hot. I was shocked by how much filling they packed into it. And their portion are very generous! I ordered the guacamole and beans and oh man! They packed in like 2 avocados into my arepa! It looked like mostly avocado. But I later found out the beans just fell to the bottom. But oh man I really enjoyed eating it! The straps was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the filling was very flavorful. I really liked the green sauce that came with it. Totally recommend this spot right by the beach!

    This was my first visit to the new AREPAPLEASE Atlantic Beach location. I decided to try an arepa I hadn't had yet & went with the Porko Loco (slow-cooked pork marinated in red wine, queso blanco). It was delicious! The pork was so flavorful and tender. My friend went with her usual, the Fancy Monkey (fried plantains, queso blanco, black beans, avocado). I tried a bite and it was great too. The arepas are huge so be prepared to leave with a to-go box. My friend's arepa had what looked like an entire small avocado in hers.

    Shared parking lot gets a little busy, but you might get lucky. Also, might depend on the day/time. We went at noon on a Sunday, my friend got front row parking, we got lucky someone was leaving as we drove around the lot. Score! Seating is limited. Small space, but they made it work! Two tables in the front can seat group of 4s, the other seating is a bar top along the right side, with view of Atlantic Blvd. The sun might get hot in the afternoon (just a heads up), but they do have a sunshade. There are also a few small tables out front. Super cute decor along the walls. Order at the register. My friend got the Tequenos to share. Yummm. Think of it like mozzarella sticks, but Venezuelan style. Hehe. I got the Pabellon Arepa, yummmm. So flavorful and they fill it to overflow. I like the arepa, it's not too thick and grainy (like some places). I also got the chicken empanada, just because. Yes, it was a lot of food and I took other half home. I like the hats, too. Fun little spot definitely worth checking out! Oh! And they have the good ice! #iykyk Hehe. Yes, please.

    It was so so good that we forgot to take a pic on time. :) Delicious!!! And they are so friendly. Arepa was fresh, place is clean, good vibes. Definitely coming back!

    This new place is awesome. I have passed it many times and did not realize it was a restaurant. Luckily, my husband took me here to try it. It's a smaller location, with minimal seating, BUT SO WORTH THE VISIT. I ordered the queen. The young lady taking my order explained it would be served on a crunchy bread-type thing similar to a mix of cornbread and English muffin. Weird thought, but she was right. It was thin and crunchy and so, so good. The Queen is a Venezuelan chicken sandwich with avocado, and it came with a green liquid side. Do not know what it was, but it totally needed to be put on my sandwich. My husband got the Pabellon. He's a man of few words, saying it was great, and we will be coming back. We also ordered Yuka fries. I loved them. They were cooked evenly, and they were better than my husband's but I will never tell him that. Another favorite thing about this place for me was all the different types of handing art but all the subjects had on a white scarf with red dots. I wish I knew the meaning of that.

    Service was great. Greeted with friendly faces and welcoming atmosphere. Food is cooked to order so its fresh. I ordered to go but was a cute little place! The gyro is packed with meat and lettuce and tomato, I ended up using a fork :)

    Mona Chicken w/ guacamole
    Amiyah G.

    I truly wish I could give them 10-stars! I'm a big fan of their Riverside location - but it is so far from me - so of course I was ecstatic to hear that they were opening a location in Atlantic Beach. I stopped by the new location for the first time today and I might have to go back tomorrow. My arepa was soooooooo delicious! I ordered my go-to - the 'Mona Chicken' with added guacamole and I'm still thinking about every single bite. It is so filling and comes with a sauce on the side (not sure what it is but it's super good as well.) They are a bit pricey, since everything is 'à la carte', but truly worth the cost! I will also note that this location is way smaller than the Riverside location.

    When I saw this food truck parked out near the front of my neighborhood I got "eggcited" because I…read morelove eggs. And before I get too far into this I want to say the food was good. The flavors were nice and everything was prepared well. However, and this may be just my opinion but, if you're going to call your food truck "The Fried Egg" perhaps eggs should be a part of the make up of most of you menu items. Given the current menu options I think a better name for this truck would be "The Fried Egg is a $1 add-on option." I mentioned to the young lady taking my order that it surprised me that, given the name of the truck, I would have to pay an up charge for an egg. She relayed my sentiments to the cook, who may have been the manager or owner. Nevertheless, I ordered the Classic Smash Burger and did ask for the fried egg add-on. The food was prepared really quickly and the burger looked perfect. However, the young lady informed me that unfortunately they only had 4 eggs left and that they all fell and broke on the floor before my burger was ready. So she handed me a $1 bill as a refund. Obviously disappointed (and skeptical of the story) I accepted the refund and went on my way. The short of it is that while I was eggstremly disappointed by the lack of eggs, the burger was quite good and the fries were wonderful. I would have given this experience 4 stars, I can overlook the name thing, but not being able to have any eggs from The Fried Egg food truck left me somewhat disappointed.

    This was my second time getting a burger at The Fried Egg. It was a perfect smash burger and the…read morefries were equally as good. Fast fresh food and friendly service!

Parking was a bit hard with so many people especially around beach area. The wait was around 20-30 mins and we were seated on the patio, the place was packed and super busy, so it's a bit loud to try to have conversation. The staff were great and the menu had a great vegan section too. It was a bit cold on the patio, so we started with some hot lattes which was decent. Also got pancakes & bacons, vegan mexicali wrap and size of haus fried (potatoes cubes). Portion size was huge, we could only finish half the food. Everything was delicious & if you get the vegan mexicali wrap, 100% would recommend trying with the hot sauce with it. Food and staff were great, but I am not sure if it was worth 20-30 mins wait and the hassle of parking. Would definitely go back but will not be a regular place for us!
