I will freeze my ass off, wait in the rain, or endure any other natural disaster for an arepa from this place. Always with a smile, the proprietor of this establishment makes damn good food. Cilantro sauce on everything. Prices are fair and it's worth trekking off the beaten path. Great hispanic fair at a great price. read more

This was my first time trying Venezuelan food. The owner was super friendly and the food was amazing. I'm going back for sure! I never noticed the place until seeing it pop up on Yelp. I must have passed it 20 times. read more

So excited to find Venezuelan food in Cincinnati! The arepas are spot on! Really tasty and made to order. Totally worth the try!

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat on date night and we stumbled onto this amazing restaurant (although, it's really more of a takeout place than restaurant, but they do have tables out in nice weather.) Anyway, the food was awesome! Get the special and the cilantro sauce. You will not regret it. I got a chicken arrepa and my husband got the special, and I made him split his with me because it was so good. Love the guy that runs it too. He was so sweet and it was great chatting with him. It really made our night. read more

Awesome lunch shop! Even if the food wasn't great it's still something different than just another burger or sandwich. Fortunately, the food was amazing. Chicken and cheese empanada with cilantro sauce was legit. Tried the sandwich which was great too. I'll be back soon. They're gonna need a larger space soon. read more

Service was excellent! Super friendly and helpful. I had the beef empanada and homemade passion fruit juice. Both were outstanding. I highly recommend it. read more

Delicious! Had been meaning to try it for a while and am very happy I did! As a self confessed picky eater and foodie (oxymoron) I can say the arepa pabellon is that perfect mash up of a hearty Venezuelan dish with a delicious and portable arepa. Will definitely be going bac read more

This place is so good. Everything is hand made and as authentic as it gets. Love this place

I love the empanadas and the arrepas! The flavors are rich and authentic. I tell everyone about this hidden gem!

Since Sabor Peruano burned down; have been missing some south American cooking. Found this place on yelp and decided to try it. It is a take out place which means menu is not as extensive as Sabor. The owner was very friendly. The food was delicious. Tried the fried cheese fingers and they were hot, crisp, not oily. We had three dishes: typical plate with shredded beef, black beans, rice and plantains. Beef was very tasty but serving size was a little small. Beans were great.the beef with onions was good and tasty but the Filipino "bistek" is more flavorful. The Grilled meat dish had chicken, beef and chorizo. The chorizo was shaped like a rectangular patty and was the best thing on the plate,especially with the cilantro sauce. The chicken and beef cubes were a bit tough tough. Overall; very good. I will definitely return and highly recommend this to my friends. read more

Awesome food, very authentic. The arepa (beef and cheese) was out of this world and the crisp on the bun (fried corn) was spot on. We will definitely be back. Also you need to try the plantains with queso on them. Owners were extremely friendly. read more

Went to Arrchissimo and orders Tequeños, a chicken Empanada, the Venezuelan typical plate and some fresh passion fruit juice. Everything was dank and super reasonably priced for the quality and the owner was super helpful to us being our first time there! read more

This a wonderfully friendly place with some tasty food. I would try as much as you can and split it with someone. Great food!

Good Venezuelan style food. Staff is friendly but they do not have sitting... You have to order through a small window and wait for your order on the sidewalk. Good prices and great food. read more

Tried out pernil (pork) & plantain Arepas, crunchy outside, fluffy inside and plenty of flavoring fillers . It was paired with rice drink called "chicha", simply amazing. Have'n enjoyed a so delicious meal for a while. It deserves a try read more

I REALLY hate to give a bad review. I've eaten here twice and absolutely LOVE it and think about it often. Unfortunately I live an hour away and only get to this area once or twice per year. I've been looking forward to this for weeks in anticipation of my delivery around the corner. I arrived at 10:56 and anxiously waited for the window to open at 11 as their sign, their website and Yelp show. At 11:10 they were still closed and I called only to get the answering machine. At 11:15 I'm writing this review and leaving. I will try again but it may not be for another year. So disappointed... read more

Service was good. But they have no place to sit inside. Not very comfortable. But the chef is very sweet. The fried caramelized plantains were my favorite!! read more

In love with this restaurant. I enjoyed the food so much. The owner is amazing and super helpful, even though it's only a carry out restaurant Its very worth it. I will totally come back, being latin I completely fell in love with the amazing Arepas and Empanadas! read more

Absolutely delightful! My family and I finally made it here and were not disappointed. The seven of us got a bit of everything and, boy, did they deliver. Fantastic service and everything was very authentic and very rich. We especially loved the chicken and avocado arepas, the chicken arepas, the fresh mango juice and the plantains. The spicy cilantro sauce is a must for the arepas! A super shout out to Javier for really taking care of us and our way too large food order. Such a kind man. We will definitely be back and are already looking into catering options. Thanks again for bringing a taste of Venezuela to Cincinnati! read more

I was so pleased with my experience at this place!!! We arrived at the window to order and the gentleman behind the counter offered to explain what all of the dishes were before we ordered. We ended up ordering two arepas with beef and cheese and an order of tostones, along with fresh mango and passion fruit juices. It was raining so the man said we could wait in our car and he would bring our food out to us when it was ready. It didn't take long before we were stuffing our faces with delicious fresh food. Everything was delicious. I definitely recommend trying this place! You can't beat great quality food and genuinely friendly service. read more

A taste of Venezuela in the middle of Ohio! Super delicious empanadas and plantains that make you forget where you are after the first bite. Warmly greeted and helped through the menu on our first visit - worth the trip and the short wait for the made to order meals read more

Everything was so fresh and homemade. Amazing comfort food. Empanadas were perfect and the Plato tipico was delicious. Recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic and Venezuelan! read more

Good find! I'm so exited to find good South American food ! Feels like home. Empanadas and the sampler plate are great. Maracuya drink is perfect. read more

Amazing place, good food, the taste from my country, but the best was the owner, what a nice sir, very warm and open to talk about anything. Also an awesone customer service. Go to Arrechisimo. Melissa from Valencia, Venezuela, Orlando, Fl moving to Ohio. read more

Excellent food. Great service. The owner and staff are very friendly and will go the distance to make sure you enjoy your food and experience. If you don't know anything about Venezuelan food, go here and try it. read more

Found a little slice of heaven here in Ohio!!! After moving here 11 years ago from Miami, Florida we FINALLY found this great little Venezuelan Take out place in Blue Ash, and it was DELICIOUS. We ordered a few empanadas to go and wound up eating one while we waited for our meal. Honestly I could have gone without ordering a meal because the chicken empanada was so filling and packed with a load of yummy-ness that I called it quits and took the Entree home for later. My husband ordered the Meat Grill and was very pleased. I was equally pleased when I finally ate the Onion Steak on the grill... mmmm mmmm good!!!! It's safe to say that we will be making another trip to Arrechissimo, sometime this weekend. The owner Javier, was amazing. Great customer service, easy going and nice to talk to. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great food, with great flavor and Latin Flare!!! read more

I have been here several times and the food and service has always been exceptional. If you're in the deer park area you must visit here and if you visit here you must try the arrepas! We are lucky to have an authentic taste of Venezuela in the heart of downtown deer park. There is no indoor seating area fyi, but a few tables set up outside and a nice park just down the street. read more

I have never submitted a review for any restaurant until now. I just signed up for Yelp for the sole reason of sending out this review. I travel quite a bit and always look for unique places off the beaten path. Arrechissimo is just such a place. The food is simple, fresh and tasty. Javier, the owner, is one of the most accommodating and nicest people you will ever meet. This is an unassuming walk-up restaurant with a take-away window. Everything is made to order so expect to wait a bit if there is a crowd. It is worth the wait. If I lived locally I would invest in Javier and his dream of starting a small indoor restaurant. His personality coupled with his food is a can't miss combination. I will always come back to Arrechissimo when I'm in town for both the food and the service. read more

Amazing! Authentic and fresh. Extremely friendly and helpful owners. Very affordable and easy. The flavors of Caracas right in Deer Park!

Everything is so perfect and delicious at this place. The owner is a great guy. The first thing he said was "eat first and pay later, if you don't like it you don't pay". How many people will do that when you try ethnic food!? The passion fruit juice is my favorite. Everything is so sweet and rich with flavor. It's a good hearty meal and you'll totally be leaving stuffed! It's hard not to pick everything on the menu! read more

Simply delicious. Fast friendly service and an amazing product. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

Excellent service, with food to match! Love this place! The owner is very personable and always has great suggestions, as the menu is very traditional as it relates to Venezuelan cuisine. The staff goes the extra mile to ensure that each customer not only enjoys the food, but has a great foodie experience. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

This place is Great! The Arepas are wonderful! Beef and cheese is a favorite as is the Reina Pepiada (chicken and avacado). They look small but one is Very filling! Don't cheat yourself and skip the spicy cilantro sauce. You will wish you ordered more than 1 side of it! The owner, Javier, is very nice and helpful with pronouncing things if you need help! Also, don't skip the Tequenon's (small fried cheese sticks) my kids Love them! read more

Everything was delicious, from the beef, chicken and reina pepiada arepas with cilantro sauce, Pabellon (Typical Venezuelan dish) to the desserts (Tres leches and quesillo) and the passion fruit drinks, what can I say. My husband and I had a banquet in our hands. The food have a great taste and the owners are a very nice and friendly couple. I definitely recommend this restaurant, Small, but pretty good. This is a place that you will love to eat from. read more

See all

I'm just passing through and decided to stop here and try it out. The food was amazing...the beans were full of flavor and the plantains perfectly fried. If you haven't tried the tres leches your missing out. It has great consistency and flavor! The owner is super friendly and nice. If I lived here i would honestly be here all the time lol... read more

It's funny, I live close by but didn't realize this place was even there until one of my Puerto Rician friends told me about it. We stopped by yesterday and I was really really impressed. It's a family business, pretty much a takeout place with some outdoor seating. Food it really really good, I got the steak+onions and I highly recommend the Boiled Yuca, and the fried plantains as your side. This is a pretty much one of a kind place in Cincinnati. Very clean facilites, the owner seems really nice. They also have this drink there of pinapple juice, but it's not like any i've even been given, it's like they took a whole fresh pineapple and liquified it, then put it in a foam cup.. it's pretty amazing. read more

Learned about this in a small write-up in the Enquirer. As stated, it is just a take out window with a few tables outside, but the food is plentiful, delicious and filling. There's nothing like this from here to Louisville. We love fried Yuca, sweet plaintains, and the empanadas and arepas are stellar! Very friendly folks. I wish them tons of success. read more

Great food!! Small menu, window service only, but some of the best Venezuelan food I've had. Very friendly Good prices.

One of our favorite mainstays! Delicious food done right every time. Excellent, friendly service. Very authentic food. Favorites are the tostones, arenas and, of course, the cilantro sauce. read more

Javier knows what customer service is all about! My cousin and I each had an arepa with pabellon (shredded beef, black berms, cheese and a sweet plaintain) & it hit the spot! Authentic Venezuelan food for a casual meal. Highly recommend! read more
