I was taking my lover out for the first time since Covid. We ended coming here because the owners of our first choice were on vacation. We were also hesitant because although I had never been her, my lover was with friends at their old location and service was horrible. I can say that wasn't the case this time. Service was great if you forget about them explaining how they have had to raise their prices. That was a little akward. I had my first arepita and I enjoyed it. If you are looking for some place different, I recommend this place. read more

This has became my favorite spot to go to, especially after workouts. The portions are AMAZING and the customer service is crazy! The food is really good, they haven't missed yet. I get the parillita bowl every time, I haven't had the need to try anything else but I may one day. read more

This is the second time I have found a horse-fly in my food! This is absolutely disgusting!

This was my first and last visit. The food was edible; but nothing to remember. Nothing exciting here..

Amazingly fresh, wonderful portions. Everything you'd hope to eat while Travelling Venezuela! Loved every bite.

Food is always good and the portions are large. Staff is always friendly and I've never had a long wait for my food. Restaurant is clean and there's parking right in front. When it's crowded the atmosphere is tight but it's nice. read more

We went into the restaurant and ordered food to go. The super nice lady assisting us said it would be about a half hour. So we sat and ordered a drink from the bar! The mojitos were great!!!! Once we returned home and ate the food, we were excited at the portions and appearance of the food! It did however lack some seasoning. Overall, great place! Would recommend. read more

Service has been good the last two times. The steak arepa was really yummy. The mojito was good as well.

Oh my gosh, this restaurant is amazing! My husband and I have never had Venezuelan food before and it was absolutely delicious!! They have a take out window, so you can just order ahead and they will text you when it's ready to be picked up (tonight it was about 20 minutes) and it is worth every second of that wait! We didn't go in, but the staff we interacted with were all amazing and very friendly! The food is fresh and clearly made with love. We ordered the tostones, yum! My husband got the parrallita bowl with rice and I got the vegetarian arepa. It was so much food, and we still ate every single bite of it! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. It's a must visit. Sorry, no photos. We were too busy devouring the meal :) read more

LOVE. I'm happy every time I come in, no matter what I try. Can't go wrong with this place.

First time here. The restaurant appeared clean and the background music wasn't at all overpowering--a conversation could easily be had. Our waiter was extremely agreeable (sorry, sir. I forgot your name!). There was an issue with the food which delayed it coming out to us. The manager, Mario, said it had accidentally been brought to another table and due to COVID he took no chances and asked the kitchen to make a fresh order. I told him it wasn't necessary, but thanked him. Wasn't upset at all that he took what he believed to be necessary precautions. I ordered La Parrillita Plate which was awesome! Will definitely be back and will recommend! read more

Arepitas - Chicken and what appeared to be flank steak with sautéed onions and peppers on a bed of white rice; drizzled with an avocado sauce. - Venezuelan Near Me - Harker Heights, Texas

Me and family's favorite place to eat!!!! Everything is delicious and made fresh every single time we go!!! If I could go everyday I would that's how delicious the food is!!! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Their arepas are fantastic! This type of food is hard to find, service was pretty fast as well. It should be noted that if you want an extra sauce like hot sauce it will cost an extra $0.75. Their plantains were pretty different in that they were made with cheese inside which aren't like Caribbean plantains. This area is lucky to have this spot. read more

Delicious! A friend of mine introduced me to Arepitas and it is by far My favorite restaurant that I've been to in the temple-harker heights area. The food is consistently always on point. With the meat, vegg, and starch being cooked and seasoned to perfection. The service is always top notch and the drinks are fabulous! However, The sangria was nasty as it tasted old, i know this because the fruit tasted like it had begun to ferment in it. so I wouldn't recommend the sangria unless you know it's fresh. Other than that I'm never disappointed in the food or the service when I come here. The atmosphere is very appropriate with dim lighting and nice decorations that lend themselves to the culture of the restaurant. Very cool! Just GO! read more

Great food something different for the area do recommend 5 stars and leftovers taste great

Great food and portions. Very nice cocktails. Excellent value for money! Service was fantastic.

The food here is good but they really need to streamline their process, a lot of the items on their menu are interchangeable in the sense that they all use a variation or two or more of the same ingredients. My train of thought is why not already begin cooking most of these items if your going to use them? The reason I say this is because boy is the wait long! The past 2 times I have tried to give this place a try it's been over 1 hour wait. The final time I called my order in and was told it would be ready in 35 min so I accepted. 35 min later I showed up to the restaurant to pick up my order and they had not even began to make it. This is unacceptable when you have children on a timed schedule. I feel that based on the cost being almost $20.00 for 2 arepas which contain simple ready made ingredients is not a good value given the time spent waiting. August 4, 2018: In response to the owners comments: Antonio never addressed me, the person who attended me was not a new employee, it was the same mature female that worked when they had their gas station location. In regards to made fresh, I remember when they used to be located at the gas station I could clearly see many items stored in tupperware such as the shredded beef as mentioned in his comments but also the Arepas being re-heated. And to further add, I guess based on Antonio's comments every other restaurant in the area including his neighbor Acropolis must serve "fast food style" food since they manage to have most orders ready in 30 min or less. Having spent some time in Caracas and many years in Miami I am not unfamiliar with Venezuelan food. Personally I believe an appropriate response would have been a simple apology for messing up an order rather than saying you spoke to me previously. Also no, I do not favor "fast food" style or chain restaurants. As a business owner I would refrain from those types of comments towards patrons. read more

Arepitas - Here's a picture of the latest menu and prices. Great addition to Harker Heights. - Venezuelan Near Me - Harker Heights, Texas

I love their food! Service is excellent! Great place with a variety of unique dishes.

The food here is always so fresh. The dishes are chef inspired and the presentation is amazing! I love this place!

This is definitely my new favorite place to eat in Killeen! My husband I went after seeing it had five stars. The ingredients are fresh, everything is home made. The "bread" on the arepas are corn-based almost like a fritter, hot and tasty. The chicken and steak were seasoned perfectly. The hot sauce was amazing. Mario was kind and informative. Wonderful music playing, bright clean dining area, pictures of Venezuela... we will be back soon!! read more

This restaurant is so good, I was very impressed with their wonderful service upon entering, along with the COVID-19 protocols they are taking to keep their customers and employees safe. Aside from that, you get a little taste of Venezuela with the decor,it's only a hint of what the food is going to taste like. Every table had pitchers of sangria, which I didn't try but it looked amazing, they have a multitude of non alcoholic beverage choices as well. Their menu is full of wonderful food choices, along with vegan options as well. They have a take out drive thru option as well if you want to take something delicious home. This will become a go to restaurant for me. Good food in the area is so hard to find. read more

Hands down , one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Food was amazing. I had the hairy cachapa.i know it sounds weird but my gosh it's a corn pancake stuffed with shredded beef and plantains. Smothered in Venezuelan cheese and butter. And it's gluten free. So good. My husband had the mixed pepito. We also had the empanada. I also had the zero calories drink which was strawberry cucumber water with vodka. Seriously best meal. Our waitress was super sweet and knowledgeable. You have to try this place. read more

Love, love, love this place. Our food is always hot, freshly made, and tastes so yummy! You won't be disappointed! We love getting the Pabellon Bowl A bed of rice topped with Shredded Beef, Black Beans, Sweet Plantains and Avocado. We don't each much beef, so we get it with shredded chicken.

This used to be our go to place for interesting foods. Now they have a surcharge for cleaning the tables for Covid19 prevention. Wonder how well they cleaned prior to Covid19? Another scam to get more money without raising prices? Antonio, the waiter told us when we were ready to order. He asked if we had heard about the Covid19 surcharge added to pricing in lieu of raising prices on menu items. Since it only amounted to a few dollars we stayed and ate. We'll be back after COVID and prices get back to normal. read more
