This was our first time trying Venezuelan street food. I fear that they have spoiled all other restaurants of this type for us, everything was beyond good. The best thing we ate was the Pop Queen Cachapa. (Creamy chicken avocado salad & Venezuelan cheese). It was so flavorful, I will probably order this every time. The seating is limited, we went at an off-peak time so it wasn't a big deal. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop by. I wanted to try something different and since I've never had an arepa, it felt a good choice. After browsing the menu, the pavilion arepa was the obvious choice for me. It was stuffed with braised beef, fried plantains, black beans, and mozzarella cheese. It tastes just as good as it sounds. I enjoy all of those ingredients individually, and never would have put them all together and stuffed them into a fried pocket. Actually, over stuffed would be a better description. I wanted to beat the traffic, so I took my order to go. There was no way I was gonna even try to eat this like a regular sandwich. It was huge. I threw it in the toaster oven to warm it up and ate it as an open face sandwich with a knife & fork. That way, I was able to evenly distribute the ingredients so I got a a little bit of everything with each bite. It was savory, sweet, crunchy, yummy goodness. Don't forget to use the sauce. I poured it over everything. Next time I'm asking for an extra container because one was not enough for that huge arepa. read more

I think this place is so delicious. It's very flavorful and the sauces that go with the food are paired so well. My favorite thing to get are the tequenos every time I go. It's also attached to a vinyl store which is also really cool to grab a bite and then walk over or even order and then check out some vinyls until your order is ready. I recommend read more

It's always delightful. Have not eaten in only carry out or door dash. Second time having did not disappoint. Belly full

I ordered the Urbanite Arepa it was packed with such good flavors and was actually a lot more filling than I was expecting! The owners supported furloughed federal workers during the shutdown with a free meal so I definitely recommend supporting this business. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and it wasn't crowded when I went. read more

Arepi - Urbanite - Venezuelan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The arepa was tasty. More like an overstuffed sandwich and less like a grilled cheese. And the spicy sauce was genuinely spicy. The downside was really the ordering experience. The menu on the wall is outdated and several of the menu items are no longer offered. This was not communicated until we tried to order several things that no longer exist. The real menu is hidden in the counter. Still, the food was good and the outdoor space is excellent. read more

I stopped in and grabbed an urbanite cachapa with beef and spicy sauce and it was incredible! The portion is substantial (so glad I only ordered one because I would have popped otherwise). The interplay between the sweet cornmeal pancake and the savory beef, onions, cheese, and spicy sauce was incredible. Filling, delicious, and affordable-- what's not to love? read more

The flavor of my arepa was solid but not enough to bring me back. The beef was a little sweeter in the pabellón (or as this place calls it "pavilion") than my usual preference, but the plantains were very tasty. I Found a hair in the mozzarella in the bottom of the arepa, which was a bummer. By that point I had already eaten 90% of it. read more

Food was good. Customer service was good. Seating a little tight, but pretty decent. Ordered the: Pavilion arepa: 10/10 - beef was good, loved the flavor and all of the sauce Yuka fries: 9/10 read more

The size and price of the arepas are an obstacle for me. The food is good and the ingredients are creative but......compare the size and price to other arepa options. The interior feels cold, service is adequate, and the menu is outdated and looks like it was never finalized. The outdoor seating could be cute, perhaps. read more

Arepi - Adequate. - Venezuelan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

PAVILLION AREPA The beef was tough and the broth tasted like it was watered down. Plantains were cooked well. The beans lacked flavor as well. The corn shell was bland. I liked that the shell was thick allowing it to be sturdy enough to hold it like a taco. Overall it was lackluster in flavors. Maybe they lowers the spices for the clientele of the area? ‍It wasn't for my soul, maybe it's for yours. Service was great, pleasant to order from and welcoming. Location offers free parking. read more

Came here on a weekday evening, and there was no line at all. In fact, completely empty, including the staff lol, so we waited a bit for them to come back. Got the Urbanite cachapa, which had a corn pancake outside filled with queso de mano and a beef and pepper mixture. Overall good in terms of flavor and texture, and especially loved the corn bits in the pancake. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Arepi - Urbanite Cachapa - Venezuelan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I love seeing farmers market stands become brick and mortar. I also love celebrating Hispanic owned businesses. I will say, I was a little skeptical - Arepi has a HUGE cult following and for good reason but I've had some not so good experiences at the farmers market stands. But I went during Fells Fest, the busiest time and they delivered! It was a little slow to order, it was a festival and a small restaurant next to the Sound Garden. But I was surprised how quickly I got my order. The key to the Arepas is to make sure you add plantains to any item and I mixed both mild and hot sauces. I got the warm chicken arepa with added plantains and it really really hit the spot. My friend got the chicken salad and she also really enjoyed it. So glad to have more cultural local fast casual in fells. Will definitely be back! So happy for this team. read more

Arepi - Chicken with plantains - Venezuelan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'm so happy that Arepi finally has a storefront!!! I used to get their arepas at the Fells Point farmers market on a regular basis - iykyk. The arepas are flavorful, delicious, made fresh, and best of all for me - gluten free!!!! You may view it as a pro or a con that they are packed so full with the fillings, but for me it's an absolute pro. Get ready to get messy if you're biting in, or grab a fork. I will say that sometimes there is a significant wait (at the events they go to, as well as the storefront). With that being said, it's due to the quality of the food! So go and enjoy! read more

I had Arepi for takeout and the food was plentiful and tasty. Air fryer saved the day with reheating so I'm sure it's much better eating in person. I would try the cachapa-it's sweeter and like cornbread. read more

I was a little sad that I didn't enjoy these arepas as much. I am a huge arepa fan, and I've had many in my life, but I didn't like these ones. It's almost as if the chicken is missing a bit more seasoning. One thing I can appreciate is the service, the location, and how fast everything is. I really loved the employees and how patient they are, but I just didn't like the arepa itself. Maybe I need to come back and try something other than the Suburban. The arepa is big, and you can get full from just one, but overall, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't enjoy it as much. read more

I loved the food at arepi, it was fresh, flavorful, well balanced, and truly a delight. I got the chicken avocado one and was not disappointed by the crunchy shell, and soft and cheesy filling. The service was okay, nothing to write home about, but were polite nonetheless. Ambiance when I went was just a regular little store almost like a cafe. Definitely a spot for a casual chat and greeting. read more

Poor customer service, the food was ok but rude people I don't think I will be back to this place

This is some of the best fast casual eats in Fells Point! I'm so glad they have a brick & mortar location now so I can visit them anytime I'm in the area. Their pop queen arepa is one of my favorite bites in baltimore! And I just tried their cachapa and yuca fries for the first time during this visit. The cheese pull on the cachapa was INSANE and it tasted soooo good. The service is always friendly. I always visit Arepi whenever I'm in town, they're one of the best local businesses around. read more

I enjoyed Arepi. The place was conveniently located next to The Sound Garden. The location was clean and the menu was easy to read.

I will definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

Their food truck is one of my favorite in bmore! I love the urbanite, it's delicious, saucy, flavorful and just a very good arepa. Great portion too. Their staff is also very friendly and speedy!

I wish I had more time to try the cachapas and arepas!! I grabbed a side of fried plantains to go and was pleasantly surprised with a garlic aioli sauce on the side! The plantains were perfect!

Great addition to fells point as a quick and tasty food spot. I got the pavillion arepa & yuca, which I would highly recommend it. The corn pocket was crispy and the spicy sauce on top was very tasty! The service was quick and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Everytime I go here they're out of something (usually anything involving healthier ingredients - think avocado and veg toppings). The food was very greasy and heavy and very mid - I tried an arepa and the sweet corn pancake. I wanna like this place so bad. The food needs slaw or pickles or something to cut all the fat. Made my tummy hurt and didn't even taste that good. read more

As a native Venezolana this is hands down some of the best Venezuelan food I have found in the DMV area. The Cachapas are a must try for EVERYONE, it's like a sweet corn pancake with cheese and it's the perfect balance of flavors, reminded so perfectly of being back home in my country. The arepa was delicious but I would have preferred a more simple filling to really enjoy the dough. Tequenos were ok, I would have probably preferred the ones with just cheese but I can't complain. Service was exactly what it needed to be and I'm happy to see them getting the love they deserve, totally a place worth trying! read more

Arepi - Venezuelan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Wow! I finally discovered why folks rave about Venezuelan arepas and Cachapas The corn bread wrappers were superb. Though I have long been a foodie loving many cuisines around the world, Venezuelan food is a relatively recent encounter. I have sampled Venezuelan arepas in popular places in NewYork, Washington, Las Vegas and at the home of Venezuelan friends. I thought "Venezuelean is OK; but nothing to write home about." At this place I "encountered the Wow" of what Venezuelan Cachapas and Arepas can be. The fillings and cheeses were generously apportioned and very tasty, but that corn bread wrapping is a whole new level of flavor. Yummy. Discover what Venezuelan 'delicioso' means. read more

This place is a bit of a drive from me, but I will make time for it any day. They make everything fresh to order and it is delicious. The flavors are so good and they pack it with a lot of filling. They are always so nice and welcoming. 10/10 read more

Arepi - Urbanite arepa- braised beef, onions, peppers, and mozzarella with mild sauce - Venezuelan Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Delicious arepas, some of the best I've had in Baltimore and the staff are happy to answer questions.

I got the "Urbanite" at the Fells Point Market. The good, reasonably priced and good quick service. The beef and spicy sauce was excellent! Good kick and great flavor worked well with cheddar. The corn "pita" was also good. The not so good, because it was a "pita" type sandwich the beef and sauce was just at the top. So once you got past the first 1/4rd it was nothing but corn bread and cheese. The beef mixture was also extremely wet making the whole thing soggy. Still good though. read more

The arepas I had just weren't hitting in the flavor department. They were ok but nothing I'd Go out of my way for.

Just had the pleasure of visiting Arepi's new location. The vibes are exquisite, and promise to get even better as time goes on. The food gets better every time I've had it, and the addition of the yuka fries was truly inspired. The whole team is super friendly, happy to help & clearly put a lot of love into their work. Will be visiting again and again. read more

How am I the first to review when there is so much hype about this place at every event?! Either way, this food is so delicious. We got a beef arepa and devoured it. Not a speck of food left and gone in 90 seconds. The corn patty had the perfect crisp to it, and the filling was full of flavor. We got the beef and cheese which is shredded. I will be trying the chicken next time. I will say this is a bit more Americanized than I have experienced before because they use cheddar and mozzarella cheese in the arepas, but I still enjoyed it. Because they are a pop up and mobile, some of the stuff was sold out when we ordered. Next time I see them, I'll make sure to snatch it up quick. You can find where they are via their Instagram (@eatarepi I think), but I randomly found them at a festival I went to at the Union Collective. Hopefully, they will go back there because I'm not the best at finding food trucks lol The people here were super nice! I see great things ahead for this new pop up :) read more

My husband and I came on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating, no one in line. We waited a few minutes for someone to come back to the counter and take our order. I ordered a Party Beast , which was supposed to be shredded pork loin with Gouda cheese on a split corn pancake. My husband had a shredded chicken and cheese cachapa. I've had arepas before but my husband has not so I was excited for him to try . The arepa was overstuffed and looked great however, I took a huge bite only to get a mouth full of fat. I pulled out a large chunk of fat in my arepa, so half of it was then gone. I also noticed that there was no Gouda, only shredded cheddar cheese (not great.. wasn't even melted). Grease was running down my hands and I pulled out another chunk of fat. There was nothing left inside. I couldn't finish it. This was nothing like the arepas I had in NC. My husband said his cachapa was good. We had a mild sauce that I did really like. Add 2 water bottles and it came to $30. read more

I come here all the time and Luis and Harold always do a great job. the food is delish! 6 out of 5 stars.

So delicious! I was at the Fells Point Farmer's Market and stopped by their stand to enjoy a tasty Arepa sandwich filled with shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese. I want to return soon and try their vegan arepa and "Pop Queen" arepa made with chicken avocado salad, chives, and cream cheese. Harold Dams, Marketing Director, and his brother and mother told me they are opening a restaurant/store on Thames Street serving Venezuelan food, beer, and wine. I'll be looking for it! read more
