Surprisingly excellent Venezuelan cuisine in Round Rock. I had dinner here with a friend and we were quite pleased not only with the comprehensive menu but the attentive service and comfortable dining room as well. I really enjoyed how they handled cooking of proteins. I ordered the parrillita bowl which contains both steak and chicken, and these were cooked perfectly and were tender and juicy. You can order out if you like but I think you will be missing out if you don't come here to enjoy your food fresh from the kitchen. Highly recommended.
My first review! Only recently got my drivers license so now I can take myself and my sister to eat anywhere! My sister and I spontaneously decided to visit yesterday and our experience was pleasant and we'll visit again :) We came in at dinner time and it wasn't too crowded, it had a nice and casual atmosphere. I ordered the Llanera arepa and the steak was so tender and delicious. The avocado was complimented it so well. I think I'll order it again! As for my sister, she enjoyed her Papellon arepa well. She was barely able to finish it as it was so filling lol, since there was pulled pork, beans, cheese, plaintains... I took a bite of it and it was also really good! We ordered a cheese cachapa as well. It was taking a little while to come out but the manager was needlessly kind and accommodating; giving it at 50% off as there were apparently people in training in the kitchen! He even offered a free guava, vanilla ice cream dessert! We would've enjoyed our dinner even without dessert but it was a nice gesture nonetheless The cachapa was unexpectedly sweet but delicious as other reviews say, but we had to take it home as we didn't want our dessert to melt. We were so stuffed. We'll be visiting again and will probably order less lol!!
What a great place! Service was amazing. Food was fenomenal. So much more to try.... Starting with the aperizers, yuca frita and sweet plantains. Oh so good!!! Arepas are not created equal and venezuelan arepas are very special. You just have to try them. Arepas rellenas are an experience rather than just a dish. The ambiance of the place is so laid back and welcoming. My place to explore for a whole month until my palate is satisfied. Great find!!!
This was my 2nd time at Arepitas and as always it didn't disappoint. The food and drinks were amazing. The parrilitta bowl was mind blowing. I also has a virgin guarapita, it was amazing. The service was a little slow but our server was great and the food made up for it. Love this restaurant.
12:30 PM on a Friday and this place was nearly full! We quickly found out why there were so many people eating lunch on a weekday at this restaurant. The food is solidly delicious! We tried three entrees/sandwiches and one appetizer and were impressed by the quality and size of everything. My favorite was the Pepito (Mixed) but a close second was the Cachapas which was sweet and savory. We didn't love the chicken avocado salad in the Pimped out Queen and probably wouldn't get that one again but we're very excited to go back and try more of the Arepas and the bowls. The tequenos - cheese sticks were some of the best cheese sticks I've ever had. I could have just eaten those as my meal they were so good!
Needed a last minute lunch stop and Arepitas fit the bill! We stopped at an in between time (2 PM) which can be risky sometimes. This delicious Venezuelan food, was fun, fresh, and fantastic start to finish. Love the visual menus, I'm a visual learner and educator by trade so I love the ability to see what everything looks like before I order! We had a Bowl and an Arepita, both were ridiculously good. Layers of colors, flavors, and textures the combinations were perfection! My son ordered some fries which were hot and extra crispy. I'd recommend ordering a variety of the sauces. We loved the garlic and house special sauce the most! It's great drizzled or for dipping. Service with a smile and a fun and friendly atmosphere.
Got the Crazy Fries again!! So delicious. This time I got the meat combo. It's a really big portion but perfect if you are sharing. Chicken empanada is also good! The Guava Pie! Ice cream and guava syrup on top of a pie crust is perfection! The ice cream does overflow and melt so you gotta finish eating it quickly. It takes a really long time for the food to come out-about 20 min-but the food is so good that the wait time is negligible.
The food is very phenomenal here!! It was my first time eating Venezuelan food. Totally different experience from the traditional Tex-Mex and Mexican food restaurants around Texas. One nothing was spicy, the taste was a unique experience. So unique I want to go back to try the other entrees on the menu. I ordered the Parrillita from the crazy cravings and my wife ordered the LLanera from the arepas part of the menu. When they brought our food out, they were kind enough to tell my wife how to eat her dish properly. The portions of the food more than enough for two people honestly, but definitely order your own entree and share with your family or significant other. I ordered the top shelf margarita and had two of them I might say! They were so delicious and good they took the edge off for sure. The ambiance of this place looks very nice and upscale. It's definitely a place to go on a date or eat with your family. My only complaint about my experience here is here was how loud it was in here. They could definitely use a white noise system to help with the noise level. It was hard to hear our waiter and waitress a few times when we were ordering and when they were checking on us. They do accept contactless payment; however during my experience I had to use it at their front register. My waitress did say there experience issues with their ordering devices. Overall, my experience was phenomenal here and I recommend it to anyone wanting to try something new for food.
Came here for an early lunch on a Friday, had no wait time and they had plenty of open tables for the duration of our visit. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. I am staunchly team cachapa over arepa, so I went for an arepa pabellon. My partner went for the veggie arepa, we both really enjoyed our dishes! For the portion size you get the prices feel pretty reasonable, and compared to other Venezuelan restaraunts they have a super wide array of options, if you live close enough you could easily make this a regular spot and never get bored. Overall highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for Venezuelan food!
We went there and saw a huge group waiting to be seated. We thought that we will have to wait for good now to be seated and served. Surprisingly we were seated in 15 minutes and served fast as well. The staff was friendly and food was good. Thought the vegetarian bowl with cabbage I took felt not enough filling but rest of the food was delicious. The chilled beer was the best. read more

The food quality and service are outstanding -- but the prices are steep for Round Rock! And it feels a little disingenuous that no prices whatsoever are listed on any of the menus. For example, I wouldn't have ordered a cocktail if I'd known the price tag was $17. That was my bad for not asking up front and assuming it would be about the going rate for a typical Round Rock area restaurant/bar, but WOW. It cost more than my entree! The food was delicious. As an appetizer, we ordered the tostones -- crispy plantains piled high with veggies and sauces. My husband and I both ordered bowls -- his with a steak/chicken combination and yucca base; mine was Pabellon Criollo with sweet plantains, black beans and a base of rice. The layers of flavors and textures were so good. I would come back again -- but I would probably be that annoying customer that asks about prices before ordering (this information really needs to be on the menu!) We paid about $60 for both of us (before tip) with a shared small appetizer, two bowls, and one cocktail for lunch. I would maybe save this for date night next time, and budget accordingly. read more

Decent place for arepas and other Venezuelan food. The plantain chips appetizer was quite good and reminded me of Indian papdi chat. The Parrillita bowl was pretty filling, one bowl split by 2 was more than enough. We ordered guava pie for dessert and honestly this was the biggest miss of the meal. The pie was so overloaded with vanilla ice cream on top that I didn't get any taste of guava in a bite at all. The pastry crust was not really well baked and felt grainy. Service was good and the location was quite convenient. read more

Amazing, quality food! We have been here a few times already and every dish has been delicious. I'm also pretty sure I had the best empanadas ever here. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my favorite is the bowls & arepas. The food is consistent and flavorful, always coming out hot and fresh. Get a side of the spicy sauce because it will elevate the flavor so much! Customer service has always been great here. Everyone here is so friendly and cheerful, it makes you feel really welcomed. read more

Delicious food and great atmosphere. I had the parrillita bowl with fried yuca. I added jalapeño and spicy sauce. It is a lot of food. You could easily share with someone. read more
La yuca frita- wow! Todo lo que he probado de aquí es divino! He probado las arepas peludas, los tequenos son los mejores de Austin sin duda alguna, y el pabellón criollo divino. Altamente recomendado. The fried yucca is to die for! This place serves delicious Venezuelan food and I highly recommend it!! read more
This place is truly a gem of a find. The staff are all super friendly and the food is wonderful. They have about a dozen booths and some 4-6 top tables available to sit. It can fit a decent amount of people comfortably. They also have a bar available if you'd prefer. The staff are all really great. They'll read back to you what you ordered and confirm if you want all the ingredients included (they'll name those out as well). They'll also keep your drinks topped off and clean up your table as you eat so you feel more comfortable. The food is really wonderful and even with the convenience and the amazing service, the food is what I look forward to the most. The Taquinos are like a cheese stick in some kind of batter deep fried. It's delicious. Today I ordered a Mixed Papito sandwich. The bread was amazingly cooked and tasted great. It wasn't soggy but also wasn't dry. It was the perfect sauce ratio. I highly recommend this place. read more
I can't believe I never completed my review. This place is authentic and delicious and service is excellent. I've not had anything bad here. I think portion sizes are huge and the pricing is fair. They cook everything to order fresh, I really have nothing bad to say. Support local! read more

This is one of my favorite bites of food in the Austin area. Any type of food. Any price. The Cachapas, the pabellon bowls, the pepito sandwich... all fantastic. It's not a cheap lunch by any means but the serving sizes and quality is worth every penny and then some. Service? Supremely kind and beautiful people working here! They do have a full service bar and some local beer on tap (Pinthouse Jellyfish) read more

Service was fast, super nice, and tables were clean. We were not used to Venezuelan food and they were helpful with how to eat the dishes. The appetizer as shown was interesting but extremely flavorful and packed full of fiber. We both had delicious sandwiches and shared a lemon dessert. We both got two meals out of the sandwich, so overall we would enjoy everything again! read more

The service was prompt and kind. Brought a high chair for the baby without having to ask. But the food, muy sabroso! Had the arepitas, yucca, pabellon arepa, and cachapas blonde con platanos. Instant nostalgia for the food I ate growing up in Venezuela. And then the drinks! We had a dirty mojito and a Venezuela Libre. Perfectly made. Wish we lived in town. read more
Looka here looka here... we've passed this place dozens of times just being in the area but we had some time to kill and was starving so why not When we walked in the music was doing it's thing with the aromas and had us dancing to our table. We were seated promptly and Gustavo graciously educated us and served us with top notch service. He even cooked our food Speaking of food, Husbae had the Caribeña and I had the Texan with shrimp added. When those plates came to the table Gustavo told us how to eat it and it was on! The flavors burst into your mouth and not one ingredient tasted the same so it was a unique blend of flavors with every bite. The only reason we still had the Arepita left on the plate was because we were too full to go on. Great food, excellent service and fabulous vibe. We will definitely be back! read more

A friend and I went last week for the first time and we were both very impressed with our meals and happily had leftovers. We split a beef empanada for an appetizer and she chose the Blonde while I had the Pabellon Bowl with rice. I took a vegetarian bowl with fried yucca home for my DH who loved his too. The flavors and quality were excellent and we'll be back for more. The only con is that black beans should be a standard ingredient in the vegetarian bowl and not an up charge because the amount of mushrooms (protein) is skimpy to begin with. read more

I had The Blonde Arepa with chicken, cheese, garlic sauce and cilantro. I added the cabbage for an extra crunch. There was so much food it would be impossible to finish in one meal. The chicken was moist and seasoned perfectly. Gustavo was my server and very attentive, ensuring the order was correct and made sure my beverage was refilled. read more
My girlfriends and I were adventurous last weekend and decided to try somewhere new! Arepitas was not too crowded, but it was popular! Great ambiance upon entering the restaurant. Good music. They do have a bar, even though it was too early for us to drink. The service: we did have a sweet server but it took so long to get our food. I mean, that must have been at least 45 mins of waiting. Once we did get our food, the portions were a bit overwhelming. I honestly could've shared mine. As a Latina, I was missing some of the seasoning in the meat (but that's just me being picky). Huge note: if you ask for sides of salsa (hot sauce), they are not free. We had no idea and we ordered a bunch. It would've been nice if we had been given a heads up. Parking: no problem. Food: 6 out of 10. Customer service: 6 out of 10 I would come back and try something else! read more

I've been here a few times and always forget to take pics. The food, service and drinks are so freaking good! Each time I've gone, the employees are super attentive and help you with your selections (if you're like me - always indecisive). During this visit, I had the Parrillita Bowl and Gurpita, since I can't drink a pitcher of their daggone delicious sangria by myself (I mean, I could try, but I have to be all responsible and stuff), and everything was fresh, hot and good! Make sure you give them a try, your taste buds will definitely love you for it read more

This was my wife and I's first time trying this restaurant. They currently have a sign stating "Short-staffed" on their door, so be mindful of your timing. It's definitely not a complaint, just a fact--we we waited about 30 min or so to be seated on a Friday night, so it wasn't too bad! Our server was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu. My wife got the "Queen" and I got the "Llanera" arepa. My wife stated hers had a lot of onion in it so she didn't enjoy it as much--it was layered with them, but I'm unsure if this is always the case. With mine I also added grilled shrimp and sweet plantains--it was DELICIOUS!! Definitely would get it again. Overall not a bad experience. Had great vibes and the food for the most part was good! read more

This place has yet to disappoint us. We've been here several times and every time we come we try something new. One thing that we order every time we go is the yucca. This is a must try. The service here is impeccable I love the staff they're very very attentive. We always look forward to going back. read more

ok WOW! This place has such amazing food! How did I not come to this place much sooner? :) I ordered the following: Tostones - YUMMMMM!! Must try this when you're here! The cabbage, the avocado, and all the different sauces on top of the Tostones is so goood! You also have the option to add either chicken, beef or shrimp for an upcharge. Pepito Steak & Fries - I got this specifically for my husband ...and it did not disappoint. He loved it! Fries are amazing too! Cachapas - Now this was the winner for me! Something about the combination of sweet corn pancakes with cheeeeeese ....that just go so well together. Arepa - My main purpose for coming to Arepitas was to try their Arepas. I got The Hairy and I actually did not like it :( but will try another kind on my next visit and hopefully I'll have a better experience. A few other things: Staff is super friendly and welcoming Portions are huge! Which I truly appreciate and you will definitely get your money's worth :) Plenty of parking spaces read more
QUE RICO! We brought a group here and most of them had never tried Venezuelan food. They were so surprised at how massive the food was. The restaurant was clean and casual. Loved the space and the staff checked on us multiple times. Definitely will be coming back here. read more
The food was wonderful! Picked 4 off their recommendations (see pictures). I especially liked the sweet and savory taste of the pancake. Kiddo loved the cheese sticks. So cheesy! Crazy fries were crazy HUGE portions! And we ended talking it most home and enjoyed it again for dinner. They had us try samples of the raw sugar with lime juice, and glad we did. Not a fan, but that's just not our preference and choose the pineapple juice instead. They even have mouthwash available for you to rinse your mouth after, located in the bathroom. Pretty considerate. read more

I think what "hurts" this place even tho it shows 5 stars is the menu without the prices. The food was good and service was great, but if I knew I was going to pay $29.99 for a salad, I would have just got something else. I wasn't even hungry and I feel like I wasted a lot of food. I did ask our server why there wasn't any prices and she just gave us a quick laugh and didn't answer. I really didn't want to ask for the price of every item I was interested in. The salad seemed to be the healthiest option. AND TO REPLY BACK TO THE OWNER'S COMMENT: How am I supposed to know it has 1.5 lbs of meat on the salad?????? It doesn't even mention that AT ALL read more

Has anyone taken their picky kids? Or do they have a kids menu?
Picky kids tend to like Venezuelan food! it's sweet and super easy to like! They do have a children's many and you can start with "tequeños" which are a sort of cheese fingers wrapped in dough... soooo good! I also recommend "cahapas" for kids. They… Read more
