This was our first time here and it definitely won't be the last! The ambiance was great, both inside and out on the patio. Service was attentive and the food was excellent, with flavors that shined without being overpowered by heavy sauces. We started with the garlic shrimp appetizer, and the homemade garlic sauce complemented the shrimp perfectly without overwhelming it. For the main dish, I had the burger, cooked just as requested and served on a perfectly lightly toasted bun. Delicious! We're already looking forward to coming back to try their signature arepas dishes.

Great location, great food and a great waitstaff, but the kitchen and bar are SUPER SLOW. We ordered the Tequenos and guacamole for starters and they were great...when we finally got them, like 30 minutes later. My wife ordered a painkiller and I ordered a spicy margarita. Those also took forever and the margarita was not what I would consider good. For the main course, my wife ordered a shredded beef empanada and a cachito de jamon and I ordered the Parrillada. Those were all delicious, but for a non-Spanish speaker, double R's and double L's only separated by an I, is VERY intimidating. Need better signage, because it is hidden in a corner, a better POS system for the staff/kitchen and a bartender that is better making margaritas.

UVA Pride!

High end creative food with a not pretentious vibe. The miso maple salmon and the grilled pork chop…read morewith hominy and crimini shrooms are my fav mains. Multiple layers of flavor and all the right textures. Visually appealing on the plate as well. Solid cocktail list here. I'm a big fan that they go old school with a hot toddy. The applejack brandy added to that is a nice touch. Service is excellent here. Prices reasonable given the quality of the dishes. Will be back the next time I'm in town for sure.

Walking up this place has great ambiance, perfect for a first date. The indoor seating was closed…read morebut the outdoor seating was great. The menu was quite promising. Ordered a cucumber chamomile gin and tonic, which left something to be desired. We started with the blackberry salad which on the menu said it also included avocado but there was none on the salad-despite this the salad was great. Our mains were good but not great. The biggest issue I found here was despite our server being very nice while ordering she NEVER checked in on us after anything arrived, never refilled waters either. So although she was nice the service was not good as there were times we wanted to order something else and one of the entrees didn't arrive as it was ordered but our server never checked in. All things considered I think I would only come here to grab a salad or appetizer.

Food was totally amazing, I would definitely order from here again…read more We've had their truck food and had some delivered and both were great. I've had the pork black beans plantain egg and cheese arepa a few times and it's awesome. I got it recently in bowl form with an arepa on the side and it was a ton of food for the value. My boyfriend had a sliced steak arepa maybe with avocado and it was also very good. The empanadas are also amazing!! Food is knockout and the arepas are stuffed full for what you pay. So good. Definitely would order again!

I was in the shopping center and decided to stop by Arepas on Wheels on a whim for a Venezuelan…read morelunch since I saw their open sign was on! I didn't know what to expect but we decided to try their Pabellon beef bowl and the beef and pork empanadas. Everything came out quick and the empanadas seemed to have been made to order and were hot when brought out to us. The empanadas were crispy, hot, and full of meat filling. The Pabellon bowl came with an arepa on the side. It was our first times having arepa and we enjoyed the saltiness flavor of it. The denseness of the arepa was a new experience for the both of us, it's something that you just have to try for yourself! The bowl goes well with the light, creamy sauce that is brought out with it. The staff are kind and helpful, glad to have been able to support a local business in Charlottesville!
