    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!

    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!

I still didn't know what my topping options were for them. Luckily after looking at the menu, their website, Yelp, and google images I was finally able to figure out what I wanted (too much work lol). I landed on the Pabellon Arepa which had shredded beef, black beans, cheese and plantains.... They deffffffffff needed to strain them black beans a lot more and distribute the ingredients more because it wasn't just messy, it was atomic bomb messy. I needed 100 napkins and a knife and fork to get through it. It was pretty tasty though! My hubs got the pulled pork with avocado, def not as messy and it was pretty good. We also got the cheese sticks appetizer, I would say this was just okay. It was their take on mozzarella sticks essentially. My friend ordered the Cachapas Richmonder.... It was SO SO GOOD! We all took a bite and were wowed by how good it was! She definitely won in the food ordering. I would get that next time and highly recommend it to anyone! Overall it was really good! We were all satisfied!

I've tried the Tequeños, arepas, empanadas, cachapas, and the plantain sandwich, and every single one has been worth it. It's tucked next to a gas station, which adds to the charm. Parking's a bit unpredictable, so I usually park across the street and walk over. Easy enough. The hostess is lovely. Welcoming, helpful, and always spot on with her suggestions. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, Chamo's is one of those places that makes you feel good about coming back. Time for another visit.

    I used to like this place, but it's clear they've stopped caring about customers…read more I ordered two lack luster bowls and three orders of beef pastillios (9). The cashier confirmed my order, but still gave me the wrong items and they were burnt. I brought them back, and she tried to convince me it was the same thing I ordered. As if I was just supposed to eat whatever they handed me. I asked for a refund. She got an attitude, disappeared into the kitchen, and came back saying it'd be 5 minutes to fix. Seven minutes later, it was still wrong they gave me chicken instead of beef. I spent over $80 and was treated like my business didn't matter. If I pay for something, I expect to get exactly that not what you feel like giving me. Poor service. Basic food. Sloppy attitude. Beware Richmond, VA (I told you so) this was my last visit. One star.
