This place is gorgeous on the outside and quaint on the inside. I love the mural on the outside. Food-wise, the sweet plantains stole the show! They were super warm and delicious. The arepas were also very loaded- though I do wish they'd give you a bit more chimichuri sauce to add some extra flavor. I got the fancy monkey, which filled me up & gave me leftovers, but overall it lacked much flavor depth or contrast. Also price-wise, $8 for mango juice was a little top dollar for me. But overall, this place was good for a filling lunch. Also as a sidenote (no points off tho cause it's not that deep) but the paintings on the inside are almost definitely ai prints, which is a jarring contrast to the stunning mural on the outside of the building. read more

Food was flavorful indeed! Fresh and simple gyro with fresh veggies and fulfilling portion of meat. The pabellon was delicious! I would order that over and over again. The cheeseburger was tasty, but pricey for literally a burger only. The music made for an energetic dining experience! High top seating available along with in and outside table options, Warning- if you order at the kiosk, he said they don't see your drink order for some reason... I had to ask for them. read more

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! read more

Took an hour to get our food. No one came and asked if we had our food till I kept making eye contact with them.

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Seriously delicious. We've only ordered take out and have been blown away each time. The shredded meats are full of flavor and juicy and tender. I could drink the cilantro sauce lol. Make sure you have plenty of napkins because it can get messy but it's oh so good. Favorite: Jax Blonde Pro Tip: Get a side of the hot sauce read more

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! read more

We went on a Saturday night (8pm) and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the Queen arepa which is a cold chicken salad inside the arepa, it was pretty good in my opinion! Their tequeños are pretty tasty as well. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Just try it! We stopped in to pass time and we were not disappointed. Everything we tried was good. The fries were unexpectedly delicious!

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. read more

Waaaay back in the day, I had my first arepa from Arepa Please when they were off of Southside. I've been in love ever since. I trekked out to them at the Riverside location, but now they're so much closer to my neighborhood, I may as well invest. The prices are fair for the portion sizes, quality, flavor, and service. What more can you ask for? While I've not eaten in the Beaches location, takeout was a breeze. Can't wait for my next visit! The Queen is calling me! read more

Stopped by this place on a whim, hoping to find a spot in the area that had flavor and left me wanting more. Arepa Please is quaint, located on a busy road; the ambiance is cozy with vibrant colors inside. I ordered a breakfast arepa and my partner ordered a breakfast burrito. The first bite was magical and the second bite of the arepa brought me back to reality where my taste buds had finally found a place that had flavor and i can't wait to come back in the future! read more

Love when I find fresh healthy food places that actually taste good as well. This one is a 5/5 in all aspects from food taste, to portion size, to price. Staff is always friendly. Seating is minimal but this used to be a Subway and they made it work well. Long table against the window. Few up front. Few outside. You'll never have an Arepa stuffed this full ever. And the crispy crunchiness yet softness to their arepas is hard to describe but they're great. Also have burgers, wraps and gyros and other options for people who may not want arepas. Will take a picture next time. I keep devouring them too quick to pull out the camera. read more
