    I forget the name. Let's call it some kind of rice bowl. Yum!
    Sharrun N.

    It was my first time trying Venezualian food. The menu was simple and understandable. I forget the name but it was similar to a rice bowl with pork. So good! More than I could eat. The staff was lovely and appreciative. The drink selection was varied and good. ( I'm not a Coke or Pepsi drinker - boring! ) We were able to enjoy our food at their outdoor seats which was perfect. I recommend.

    Located inside the Aeronaut complex food hub, it was definitely a welcome sight to see since we were starving. Having been fans of Venezuelan arepas from another go-to spot of ours in west Roxbury, we said we have to try these. I think that their setup is quick to go style, they are premade meats on the heater and they grab arepa and load it in like at chipotle. It was ready in literally 3 seconds. The meat was hot, the spicy sauce was more Barbeque-ish. I didn't mind it at all but the pocket arepa it went in was a bit stiff and not warm and fresh. The cheese was mostly cheddar and loaded st the bottom of the arepa unmelted. So unless you used a utensil to mix the arepa up from bottom up, you'll get a mouthful of room temp cheese whole and unmelted. Could be nice for some but not my style. The servers were fast and very nice, so i appreciated that a lot! Hope they keep doing well and perhaps we just went later at night 8:30pm so it wasn't the best freshness perhaps? Not sure.

    This is a little place nestled inside the Aeronaut brewery space, and it's best visited in warmer weather to eat outside at a picnic table. My husband and I were in the area visiting the nearby Greek festival, which had lines so long we decided to move on, and ended up here. He got a bowl and I got a few arepas... the pork and cheese one was beyond delicious, I'm talking mouth watering. As I'm typing this, I'm thinking about it and I want another one. I also got a vegan one with beans and pico, which tasted good but not as good as pork and cheese (go figure). The prices were fair and service was fine. I'd definitely go back if we're in Union and hungry.

    Carolicious is one of the food stalls located inside Aeronaut's Food Hub! We were looking for a quick bite and stumbled upon Carolicious the other day, decided why not try their arepas. They offer Venezuelan arepas (pork, chicken, beef, veggie, & vegan options), bowls, & tequeños. We opted for the pelua arepa, which is spicy beef with cheese. Our arepa was ready within seconds! Super fast! Thoughts: The arepa itself was a bit hard to eat... hard like cardboard and was essentially flavorless. The spicy beef was okay, wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce. The cheese also was not melted and was stuck to the bottom of the arepa. I felt spoiled with my usual Venezuelan spot that makes everything from scratch and is always piping hot + fresh, though takes longer. Plus, for the price of each arepa, I didn't think it was worth it at all. I was still incredibly hungry afterwards but it was nice to try. The ladies working there were kind and helpful!

    This is a review of the MIT location. I've been meaning to try them out for a while and they seem to be pretty popular. Service was friendly and attentive enough. I ordered the arepa pabellón and the tequeños. The arepa was delicious and had a good amount of fillings, but I was surprised by the size given the price. The tequeños were also priced steeply, its dough and cheese. The basil mayo was outstanding. I get that the prices are probably a reflection of the customers, MIT students, but I really didn't think the value was there. Very tasty food, price point was not there for me.

    I love cheese tequeños!!!! Best snack ever and so worth. The only thing I get from here. The sauce it comes with is also sooo good.

    Bowl Pabellon Chicken is amazing and the staff is as well. Clean friendly environment. No waiting .. quick service. Bow Market

    Chicken Bowl ... delicious and fresh . Wonderful service. Pleasant staff. Friendly and clean environment

    Dining method: Counter-serve (inside of Aeronaut brewery) Item(s) ordered: Pabelon Vegan arepa Speed: Was prepped immediately and was done within 2 minutes Value: at about $10 (including tip) for this arepa, I'd say the price was worth the product The Review: YES, is all I can say. With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options galore (including desserts), Carolicious is awesome. Especially in a brewery, where wheat is the name of the game, I didn't feel left out for a second at Carolicious Aeronaut. The arepa and all its fixings were divine. I will absolutely be back for more.

    Chicken arepa
    Nick J.

    Seriously insanely good arepas. Probably the most reasonable prices I've seen in the area as well. Very filling and tasty. The bowls have plantains at the bottom which I was concerned about, but were delicious. The pico was very flavorful and fresh. Generous servings of meat (which was very flavorful). Also, the restaurant is connected to a beautiful brewery and chocolate maker, so you can grab a beer with your meal. The lady who prepared our food was also very sweet. This would be on my must try list for any Boston trip in the future, wish I lived by something like this!

    Arepas!
    Christopher T.

    The food came out so quick! The bowls are absolutely delicious. Just like Chipotle but a little bit better in almost every way. The rice seemed a little undercooked but otherwise was fantastic. I got the pork bowl and my friend is sporting the chicken pico and beef arepa

    I ordered the chicken bowl with no beans. It came out very quickly and was nice and warm! I think the bowl could have been even better if there was a crunchy element to it

    Spicy Beef Bowl
    Joey W.

    Spicy beef bowl - the beef was tender and flavorful. I like the green sauce and the hot sauce that you can add to the side. The tomatoes added a nice freshness to the bowl. There were a lot of beans so the rice absorbed a lot of the bean juices. Overall, a great lunch option!

    Arepa Pabellon Chicken
    Julianne C.

    absolutely amazing arepas with the perfect crispy exterior and packed fillings. this location is located in aeronaut brewery - it's perfect to grab a beer and arepa and chill with friends! the service is standard and friendly. i would highly recommend grabbing an arepa (or two) if you are at aeronaut. they also have another brick and mortar location at bow market that i have not visited. overall, phenomenal food and i can't wait to come back to try more!

I believe our waitress was Sylvanna. We ordered Sangria, a Negro Modela, & a hot tea to drink. For appetizers we chose the Trio De Empanadas (Queso Blanco, Domino, & Mechada) we added a single Verde. They were served perfectly cooked, and once we divided each one into thirds they cooled to a comfortable eating temperature. They were served with a garlic sauce, (aioli based?) that was delicious. I think our favorite was the Verde (I believe it had mushrooms & peppers in it). For our entrees, we ordered the Cordera, Costillita, & Parailla Caraquena. My husband loves lamb and was very happy with the Cordera. The Costillita was baby back ribs that were tender and flavorful. The Parailla Caraquena was grilled chicken, a portion of steak, and chorizo. My husband and I normally don't like chorizo but theirs was spicy but not greasy. Two of our plates came with fried yuca. I had never had this before and it reminded me of a large French fry. We did not have room for dessert, maybe next time.

I recommend getting here earlier if that's what you're craving. We ended up getting the empanada trio, the Pabellon Criollo (which I did not realize also had plantains), the maracuchitos and the tostones. Yes, all the plantains in the menu. It kind of happened by accident but it worked out great. We got our food incredibly fast! Everything was delicious. However, the tostones and the empanadas were my favorite. I also had a maracuya juice, which was sweet and refreshing. We really liked our waiter, we was very nice and attentive. I wish I remembered his name to give him a shout out. I really enjoy the food from Orinoco. Historically, I had only gone to the restaurant in the South End but I'm glad to see the one at Harvard Square maintains the same flavors. I can't wait to be back for arepas.

I like to try a variety of food and decided to try this place. I want to make it abundantly clear that this three star review has NOTHING to do with the service. The young man who cashed us out was incredibly kind, understanding, and explained every aspect of the food. He even offered to let us try a free empanada. Their service was 5 stars worthy. The food was not. I had the bowl and my significant other had the chicken arepa. He said the arepa itself taste good but was small for the price. My bowl was just okay. The rice was bland with some hard pieces, plantains were mushy, and the beef was a little stringy and I felt it was pretty bland as well. The black beans were the best thing in the bowl. My dish was warm at best. I'm disappointed to write such a low review because I wanted to like Sabrosa but ultimately I should have tried any of the other dozen options for lunch in the market.

Some of our favorite dishes are the Cazuela de Frijoles (Beans Casserole), served with rice, sweet plantains, and eggs. It's simple comfort food, but the flavors are absolutely amazing. We also really appreciate how accommodating they are , for example, they're happy to remove the pork rinds or chorizo from the cazuela if you ask. The pabellón is another standout . It contains perfectly seasoned shredded beef served with rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. It's hearty, flavorful, and feels like home cooking. Another must-order for us is the limonada tradicional, a fresh lemon-limeade that's perfectly refreshing and tart without being overly sweet. They bring out piping hot arepas with a delicious sauce for every table as a complimentary appetizer, which we love. The arepas on the actual menu weren't our personal favorite, but honestly, everything else we've tried has been outstanding. The menu/service is primarily in Spanish, so you may need to use Google Translate if you're not fluent, but it's absolutely worth it for such delicious food.
