Very small "hole in the wall" place inside a gas station BUT excellent food!!! I ordered an Arepa with ham and queso de Mano and it was HUGE!!! Also had two ground beef empanadas to go. Ground beef had a different taste than I usually get. Was good but would try other empanadas before I buy them again. Lots of food choices and quite a few other Venezuelan snacks and food items along with Polar beer and sodas. Will definitely eat there again next time I'm in the area!! read more

We had such a wonderful time exploring Venezuelan food at this restaurant! Hidden in a Shell Gas station of all places... that's when you know it is going to be legitimate. The service staff was very friendly in assisting us with the ordering (and the menus have photos which helps immensely). To eat: Each of us ordered our own platter 1. Chicharronada- chicharrones, arepas, queso de mano, frijoles, huevo frito. Everything was tasty, especially the fried pork! 2. Pabellon criollo-carne mechada, arroz, maduros, huevo frito, frijoles. Good flavored meat, a little chewy, but overall enjoyable. 3. cachapa de queso- this was the best part of the meal. For all you cheese lovers, you will definitiely enjoy. It is 10x better than an arepa because it is made with sweet corn instead of regular maiz. It is huge if you get the regular sized one (enough for two people to split, with leftovers) jugo de mango- sweet and delicious, did not taste like it was from concentrate. The ambiance.. well.. you are in a gas station. Personally, I love a rough-around-the-edges spot. 10/10 for good flavor and character. read more

So glad we ended up at this place for lunch! We were driving around looking for arepas, and saw good reviews for this restaurant on Google so we decided to stop by. We were a little hesitant at first because it's located inside the Shell gas station, but the gas station was super clean and organized, the parking wasn't a problem for us (we got a spot in the front right away), and the restaurant is towards the back and also very clean and separated nicely. There are tables for you to sit and enjoy your food. We ordered ours to go, but we sat down while we waited. The food did not take very long to come out. We ordered arepas, chicharrones, and a mondongo soup. They were all very yummy! I recommend getting the garlic cilantro sauce for the arepas. This place actually fills the arepa up with toppings, unlike other places that don't. The staff was SUPER friendly and answered any and all questions we had regarding the menu. I realized while we were there that they are on Uber eats, and I'm excited to order from here and try more things! I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

I recently tried the cachapas from here They look like pancakes but are made from fresh corn dough, giving them a sweet, delicious flavor. They were tender and slightly crispy, often served with cheese for a savory touch. If you enjoy sweet corn and unique dishes, give cachapas a try! read more

I found this gem here on yelp. It's inside a shell gas station on US-1 and 267 st. I have to tell you with was freaking amazing. I had a café con leche and a carne mechada empanada. While I waited for 3 arepas llanera (picaña and cheese). The empanada was fresh and tasty. The arepas were loaded with meat and very good. There a tables inside the gas station to sit and eat. The service was great as the girls were very nice. Definitely will return. I also learned they have Uber eats. read more

Arepas Venegara - Venezuelan Near Me - Homestead, Florida

They are open, and complying with all social distancing, masks and other hygiene/COVID practices. They didn't have cheese, so cachapas were put of the question so we had empanadas 1st round of shredded beef emapanadas: very tasty, sides were perfectly hot, but the center was still frozen. Still, flavor was good Cazon empanadas: a bit salty. Good flavor but it's not "cazón flavor". I liked them but it's not what I was expecting when I ordered cazon. 2nd round of shredded beef empanadas: the temperature of this batch was perfect top to bottom, flavor was even better than when cold, but they were a bit softer than the previous two batches. Service was pretty good, I'll probably come back once the covid crap is over, because that's what has everyone out of their game right now. read more

Arepas Venegara - a picture of a restaurant - Venezuelan Near Me - Homestead, Florida

I called to order for pick up and everything was fine until i arrived. The woman on the phone stated 15min wait but I had to wait longer. When it was ready and I opened the containers i noticed one of the items was wrong. I asked for it to be replaced with the correct one that i ordered over the phone and I was told "no, that will be too difficult and I don't want to get in trouble with my boss". She also stated that I was wrong and that I never mentioned that item over the phone. In conclusion, there was no effort to fix their mistake or make my experience better so that I would return. read more

We tried this a few weeks back out of a whim as we were craving arepas. When we arrived, we saw that it was within a gas station, and while we were concerned at first, let me just say that Arepas Venegara surpassed all our expectations. By far the best arepas we have had! It was so good we didn't even stop for photos Definitely must try and can't wait to eat there again! read more

Great customer service and food. Staff was very informative to non Spanish speaking patrons.

I do not have words to describe this place. This place is by far the best when it comes to Venezuelan cuisine. I enjoy their arepas, cachapas, empanadas, and tequeños so much! Everything is so fresh when it comes to eating here. It's not like other place you go and maybe the arepa is dry or the cheese is not flavorful. No, everything I have had tastes fresh. Good portions, and I feel like I get me moneys worth in quality. I definitely recommend. I haven't found another Venezuelan place with this quality of food down south. read more

Great empanadas, chicha homemade is a must try, friendly customer service, clean and neat.

This food was amazing! I am from Texas and we have some good sit-down venezuelan restaurants but this gas station located restaurant is delicious. The papas con queso and the pabellón are delicious and i definitely recommend to anyone passing by. And if they ask if you want sauce, say yes because it was a great addiction to the already delicious food. read more
