The food here is incredible, I can never decide what to eat because everything is just so good! We visited on Valentine's Day, and were thrilled that they still had their normal menu as an option. They are very careful with food allergies, and I feel very safe in eating here. Everyone working is so friendly and attentive, and I really like the new decor that they have in the restaurant! We will absolutely continue to return. read more

The food is always amazing. The tables are clean and food doesn't take too long to come out. Menu is well priced. I've only had bad service there once and I come every few weeks. read more

Today was our first time trying this restaurant and our first time trying Venezuelan food. We ordered a ham and cheese arepa and the camarones (shrimp) arepa. We loved both of our arepas! The service was wonderful. She was quick to get our orders and bring them out. The ambiance was nice for a sit-down restaurant. It's small but cozy and a touch of romantic with the lights in the booth. We loved our visit today and look forward to try more things on their menu. read more

Alpharetta's best-kept secret! Tucked away in a quiet corner, this place is absolutely amazing. It was my first time trying Venezuelan cuisine, and wow--it exceeded every expectation.

I came here for a lunch with a friend. I've come to this plaza before but hadn't seen this place so was excited to check it out. There's plenty of parking in the lot and Arepita Cafe is tucked into the corner of the plaza. I had a cup of the soup of the day and Arepa con pabellon criollo. The soup was warm and tangy and I loved the little cheese cubes they gave on the side to put in the soup. The arepa was so delicious and toasty and I loved all the sauces they had to put over it (the cilantro and crema sauces were my favorites). I also loved the plantains that came with this arepa - they were so good!! Overall, very cute spot and can't wait to try more. read more

Very delicious spot but the prices are very hefty. I love arepas but this is definitely a place I rarely go to due to the high prices for small portions. If you want to upgrade your fries to yuca fries, not only is it OVER $2 dollars, but you only get 3 yuca fries! I will definitely be checking out other locations before hitting this spot. read more

Incredibleeee food and wonderful service! The people serving us were very kind. Will be back.

Arepita Café es simplemente espectacular. La mejor comida venezolana que he probado en la ciudad: auténtica, fresca y llena de sabor. La atención es de primera, te hacen sentir como en casa desde que entras, y el ambiente es acogedor, limpio y perfecto para disfrutar en familia o con amigos. Totalmente recomendado un pedacito de Venezuela en cada plato. read more

I tried the Tequeños and the Soup. OUTSTANDING! When you are from Latin America it's hard to find in the U.S a good soup full of flavors. This one is top. The services was excellent . Of course I was served by one of the owners. i believe you can expect a great service in those cases. For what I understand she is always there. Recommended 100% read more

The last time I ate here, my card got overcharged by about $20. I don't remember if they printed me a receipt from their portable card reader but I dont have the receipt anymore but knew exactly what I ate. I called and spoke with the owner. They said they would call their card company and get back to me but never did. I advise to get a copy of your receipt and double check. Food experience 4/5 stars: I've been here twice and have had great service done in. I had the same server both times and really enjoy their capachas $13. They are perfectly chewy and all the sauces with the meat come together very well. The sampler was also good if you want to try a little bit of everything. The arepas are harder to chew than the capachas so. I prefer the corn flavor and texture of the capachas more. We tried a house special too but it was just okay compared to the cachapa. The asado negro was $14 and very simple and light in terms of flavor. read more

Easy to find with plenty of parking nearby. The restaurant is small but very welcoming and nicely decorated. Service was outstanding, our server was attentive and helpful. The food was fantastic, especially the arepas, which are a must-try. Highly recommend for delicious Venezuelan food! read more

Five stars all the way! Arepita Cafe delivers comfort and craft in every bite. The platters are hearty and beautifully seasoned, the tequeños arrive crisp with that irresistible cheesy pull, and the arepas are tender, toasty perfection with super-fresh fillings. Friendly staff, quick service, and a welcoming and beautiful space! Already planning my next visit--highly recommend! read more

Wow! That was surprisingly delicious. One of our best finds in a long time. The Pabellón Criollo Venezolano tasted like ropa vieja. Honeslty, I might not have noticed it wasn't if I wasn't told. The meat portion was not very big, but with the rice, beans, and maduros, it was filling. The Cachapa Con Carne Mechada maize mixture is very sweet. So good though. We split both. The waitress came back to find us fighting over the last few pieces. Negotiations became fierce. How much pabellón is a fair trade for the last piece of cachapa is still not settled. read more

Looking for vegan and gluten free restaurant while in the area for a softball tournament. Found this place and couldn't be happier! Staff were so helpful with menu items. Ambience was nice, clean and welcoming. We got the yuca frites, veggie empanada app, the veggie/rice/beans/plantain dish and veggie arepa with fries . We left with full bellies and very satisfied! Prices were reasonable. I wish we lived closer as this would be our regular place! read more

We always enjoy our delicious and authentic Venezuelan food at Arepita Cafe. The service is great and the atmosphere is relaxing. I love the sangria and the pabellón criollo. read more

The food is delicious ! It was my first time trying Venezuelan food and it was amazing! The staff were very considerate about my pickiness when trying new foods for the first time and made sure to make it how I asked (even though my order was very complicated) I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I've had my eye on Arepita Cafe for a while, and finally tried it yesterday for First Taste Friday! It's located in a shopping center with plenty of free parking. It's a bit hidden, so you'd have to rely on your GPS to take you there. I came by for a late lunch and they weren't busy. There were two other diners. Masks are required, social distancing is encouraged, and sanitizer is provided. They're open for dine in and have plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I was immediately greeted by a friendly gentleman when I walked in. I let him know I wanted to place an order to go. He gave me a menu and also offered a contactless menu option. I was torn between the arepa vegan and arepa perico and asked for his rec. He suggested the arepa perico $9.99, so I went with that as well as an app, tequeños $5.99. The arepa perico has scrambled eggs with tomato and onions and came with a side of fries. Tequeños are Venezuelan-style cheese sticks and comes with a side of garlic dipping sauce. Both had generous portions. I haven't had many arepas, but really enjoyed theirs. I was worried it would taste like a breakfast sandwich, but it didn't at all. It was delicious and filling. The tequeños were enjoyable as well. I loved the dough. They have a nice variety of arepas and other traditional Venezuelan dishes. I look forward to trying more items from the menu! read more

This was the first time my wife and I had Venezuelan food. They were very helpful explaining their menu and made several suggestions as to what to order. We got the pabellon venezolano chicken and a cachapa con pernil w/ Guaianyes. The food was good, the place clean, we will be back. read more

I've dined in and had food catered for a kids bday party and the food is always consistent and fresh! The service when I dine has always been pleasant and helpful especially since I'm not Venezuelan - they do a really good job at explaining what different foods or sauces have! read more

One of my favorite restaurants when we visit the Atlanta area! The food is very vegetarian-friendly and delicious. I highly recommend the Cachapa Domino, and their rice and beans are amazing. The service is fabulous as well. We always try to stop by when we are in town, I cannot recommend Arepita Cafe enough!! read more

Family owned business with delicious eats (including vegan options marked on the menu!). The service is great and friendly. They're more than happy to answer any questions about the menu, ingredients, etc. Since I has already tasted their delicious arepas, on my second visit I ordered the vegan cachapa, which was similar in texture to arepas but sweeter by far and filled with nicely cooked and seasoned veggies and avocado. Happy to patronize a local business, especially when my belly leaves happy! read more

The food is fresh made and delicious. Service, decor, and price were also excellent. Very nice experience

Really tasty Venezuelan food. Arepas and tequenos were delicious. A nice touch is that the server brings three different sauces to your table so you can mix and match to your liking. Service is extremely nice and friendly. Great mom and pop restaurant that I would be at often if I lived in John's Creek. read more

Went back to Arepita Cafe last Saturday evening and brought friends. The food was amazing (as usual), and the service was outstanding. Marco and the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and serve delicious dishes. Bravo! read more

Always looking for gluten free/vegan options around work and home, so I went to Arepita Cafe today for lunch. Very nice staff. I saw they had Yuca on the menu so I asked to sub those for fries with my eggplant arepa. I really wanted yuca fries and was perfectly fine paying the $1.50 upcharge. I get back to work to eat my lunch and saw I had 3 fries. What the heck Everything is tasty. read more

Sorry I didn't take a picture of my food, my baby was watching a movie on my phone but i garantee you that the food was great. We had the soup of the weekend a sampler and extra empanadas and arepitas con nata. Besides the food, this is the first time i go to a Venezuelan restaurant and the server speaks to us in English which we really appreciate because even though I speak spanish, my husband doesn't and I appreciated a lot how thoughtful our server, Marco, was. I'm new in town and I'm trying new restaurants every week, but this one I will repeat for sure. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. It is a little hidden gem in Johns Creek. Small business ownership and the owners are extremely friendly. I recommend the Cachapa con Peril with guayanes cheese and extra garlic sauce. Our favorite waiter Marco always treat us great! read more

The arepas (smaller with smaller corn pieces) and cachapas (bigger and sweeter) are two things you must try. The cachapas was amazing! Get it! The grilled steak was seriously yummy! Maybe it's bc I haven't had Venezuelan food before... It's sort of like a quesadilla but is made with corn-like tortillas. It's not the traditional corn tortillas you're thinking about either. The corn's more refined and has a different texture. Regardless of the outside, the inside was stuffed with a hardy amt of steak and avocados. :) The significant other's grilled sausage pepitos was pretty good too. There was an egg strangely scrambled throughout the sandwich though. The complimentary side, which in the significant other's case was a salad, was so so. Just get the fries. :) You can ask for additional sauces like garlic or mild mojito that adds a little kick of flavor. Parking was pretty plentiful as this strip lacked the foot and car traffic. read more

Very rare to find authentic South American food in Georgia. Highly recommend their arroz con pollo, and Asasado Negro. Ironically the Arepas were very marginal. Hard exterior and half melted cheese, instead of the usual soft exterior with the cheese inside, that mingles seamlessly inside. So get their South American dishes but avoid their namesake. One last thing, unusually small portions for a South American restaurant, but not stingy. It will fill you up. read more

Never had Venezuelan cuisine before. I have been missing out apparently. The food here was very filling and left really satisfied. The restaurant itself is deceptively big. It's a narrow restaurant but deep and has plenty of seating. Price wise the restaurant is affordable and for the quality you are receiving it's a good deal. Most of the menu, you probably have never heard of and even with the descriptions you still might not be too sure what to get. I went with someone who has been there before so they were able to recommend a few dishes. If you don't know anyone, ask the waiter and I'm sure they'll be able to recommend a favorite. The food though is very savory and you'll be surprised by how well it fills you up. Definitely worth the visit. The food is unique in its own way when you compare it to other Latin countries. Words really can't describe it. It's something you have to try for yourself. read more

I am somewhat disappointed with this place. The first time I ordered their mixed appetizer ( Arepita, sweet plantain and empanadas); I also ordered a side of tequeños, and for the entrée I ordered breaded chicken Pollo Empanizado) . I loved the mixed appetizer. The tequeños tasted okay but were dry. The breaded chicken was just okay. The service was good, and the Establishment was clean. I just tried them for the second time and this time I ordered the cachapa (Venezuelan pancakes) and the Reina Pepiada (Chicken/ avocado arepa), with a side of yuca. The cachapa tasted okay but was dry. The arepa was too doughy but the chicken/ avocado salad was good. The side of yuca was the worse that I have ever had and definitely not worth the $1.75 up charge. I will probably try them one more time. read more

I have no idea why this place isn't packed. The only thing I can think of is the price and location. There are a few restaurants we frequent here but they deserve more attention. Their arepas are great, and cachapa is even better! Their service is really excellent too. I went to la abuelas tonight and missed this place! They are Columbian food and this is Venezuelan. But if you like arepas or cachapas, definitely go here!!! Love their sauces!! read more

My son and I drove around for quite a long time last weekend, looking for a new and special place to grab lunch. We were so glad that we stumbled upon Arepita Cafe! It was tucked away in a shopping center that did not have a great deal of visibility, but there was ample parking. The low visibility did not seem to dampen the restaurant's popularity - nearly every table seated guests. We were greeted warmly at the door and seated right away. I ordered the cachapa pernil (after checking out all of the Yelp photos), which arrived stuffed with avocado and tomato. The corn pancake was excellent - rich and sweet. It was served with butter, which was very tempting, but I did not use it (I am certain, the cachapa would have been divine with butter!). The pork was perfectly roasted and not too salty (a problem I have encountered with roasted pork at other spots). I ordered the arepa con jamon y queso for my son, and it, too, hit the spot. What a great find! Tasty food and great service. We would certainly return. read more

Great experience trying out Venezuelan food. Service was great! It was pretty busy for a late Sunday afternoon. We got a few things to try. We got the tostanes for the appetizer. They were hot and crunchy with a delicious dipping sauce. Hubby loved his shrimp arepa. It was bigger than he expected, so he ended up taking his cachapa entree home for later. I got the patacones for my entree. It's vegetarian with tostanes, bell peppers, avocado, and cheese. It was delicious. For dessert we got the mocha cake which was a chocolatey tiramisu. We loved it. read more

Ordered to-go through the Yelp mobile app. Very convenient way to order. Though I wish there were pictures for each dish. Ability to choose what time to pick up was convenient. Ordered Arepita Burger, Cachapa coni pollo, Arepa Reina Pepiada, Tequenos, and Empanaditas Trio. I didn't feel the Arepa Reina Pepiada, Tequenos, and Empanaditas Trio were a good deal. Taste was OK, not too flavorful, and don't get much for the money. However, the Arepita Burger and Cachapa coni pollo were tasty and a good value. Those can fill you up and have unique flavors. I'll stick with those two next time. read more

Excellent service, food and ambiance! The best Tequenos in Atlanta! Go and for Punta steak!!! Delicious
