    Arepas De Pabellon

    Fire. I am a gordita fan but never had an arepas but this is the Venezuelan version I am told. I had just a single "De Pabellon" arepa. Chunky, savory, tender beef in sauce with a slaw and cheese, black beans on a corn pita pocket of sorts. They put out three bottles of sauces -- a light green avocado crema garlic thing that I could drink by itself , a slightly spicy crema , and more of an Asian style chili garlic. I couldn't eat it fast enough. A bit pricy at $14 but comes with a big slice of fried plantain that was crispy and not greasy. They have plates which seems to be a much better deal -- most of same components but 15-16$. I will be back. On a last note it is a mess to eat but a fork solves that. Slightly odd hours at 1000-1500 M-F. 1000-2000 Sat and Sun. I got there at just before 11 and left at like 1120 and was alone. Then the work crowd started pouring in.

    My coworkers and I decided to try this place out for lunch today on a Friday. We got there around 1130 ish and it wasn't too busy about 3 other tables before us. We ordered the Tequenos, Testones, and Plantains to share for appetizers, 3 diff arepas to share, and churros for dessert. I like the La Surena arepa it had chicken chorizo, and avocado in it. There are 3 diff sauces they give you on the table, my favorite was their cilantro mayo one and the salsa one had a good spice to it. The churros were good, but I wish they were a little softer. It was too crispy for my liking, but they give you a caramel sauce to dip in and it was drizzled over with chocolate. We had the sugar cane - lime drink forget the name of it. For the three of us our bill was about $50 bucks. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food came out fast too. This place is pretty casual and you can do to go orders and pick up. They have a little futon couch in the dining area for customers to wait for their orders. Overall, the food wasn't bad, If you want to try some diff food other than tex mex etc they have here, try this place out. If I go back I want to try their other arepas and empanadas. It was a little bummer we couldn't get any coconut drinks there.since it is not on the menu anymore.

    Came here with my compadre for a quick Saturday lunch. It had been on my radar for quite some time and to the surprise of midland,there is a healthy culinary diversity here and Cafe Unique is no exception. Lola... as sweet and as eccentric as ever, will be back for sure

    This was the first time my husband and I tried Venezuelan food. The food was okay but I loved the atmosphere! I loved the art they had all over the walls and it was lively with venezuelan music in the background. We started off with the appetizer sampler. I could probably pass on these because everything was fried and to greasy for me. For my entree I got the La Surena Arepas. I love spicy food and I was sold on the "spicy chimi-churri sauce" but I didn't taste any spice. The arepa was a little to hard for me. The pictures definitely made it looked soft and fluffy. But the chorizo and chicken was good. My husband got the Pebellon Criollo and he thought it was okay. I do love how they have all the different sauces! My fav was the green creamy sauce. The food was a little overpriced. For an appetizer and two meals was about $40. But It was nice to try something different and now we can say we have tried Venezuelan food!

    Was so surprised to find Venezuelan food in Midland, and it turned out to be GREAT Venezuelan food! Gabriel the owner was very friendly and have us some great recommendations. The Venezuelan lemonade is super refreshing and our plates were delicious. Definitely will be a regular now on our rotation.

    Everything had wonderful flavor! Only downside was their menu was very limited on Grubhub and Uber Eats. Would highly recommend!

    I ate all the sides before realizing I should take a picture.

    Step out of the west and into Venezuela. At first i was concerned. It was empty. But as soon as we sat down the place filled up to capacity and that's not a lie. The atmosphere was as authentic as the food. The flavor was not an attempt at genuine. It was the standard to set all standards. The longer I sat here eating the more I wanted to marry the sweet lady running the place. The food came out timely and a perfect temperature. I will be back.

    I try to eat Cafe Unique every time I come into town. My favorite menu item is the chicken and avocado. I love that it's gluten free too!

    If you like greasy, bland food, you would like this place. The food was flavorless and the arepa was dripping grease. We won't be back.

    Great home cooking in midland! Will definitely return. Service was a bit slow but because there was only one woman during busy lunch hour.
