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.

Fast and friendly service in a vibrant food hall setting adjacent to Aeronaut brewery. Grab a craft brew and walk to the right of the exit to enter the hall. The Pabellon Veggie Arepa (black beans, plaintains, and mozzarella) was stellar. A perfect combo of flavors and texture. The side of hot sauce was meh (tasted like a basic vinegar based mass produced variety). The Tequenos were solid.

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.

Carolina is a lovely person and deserves the world. The service was phenomenal. She was able to make adjustments to my arepa order because of dietary restrictions. The arepas were DELICIOUS!!! We will be back. Nothing but good things to say.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Cheese Tequenos
Alice Z.

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.

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!

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

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

7.5/10: Great bang for the buck. Arepas have a nice crunchy texture. Bowls are savory. Beef was a bit dry.

I have had the great, great pleasure of feasting on takeout and delivery from Don Tequeño y Doña…read moreArepa several times over the past months. While I have not had the opportunity to visit the establishment itself, Don Tequeño y Doña Arepa are certainly an excellent to-go or at-home option. They are powerfully at the top of The List (which is woefully short) of Venezuelan restaurants in the greater Boston area. Don Tequeño y Doña Arepa boast a simple yet comprehensive menu that includes many of your quintessential Venezuelan dishes. This includes arepas, cachapas, patacones, pabellón, tequeños, and more. They have also sold hallacas and pan de jamón around the winter holidays. I've tried their cachapas, patacones, pabellón criollo, tequeños, and pastelitos and can and shall speak highly of them all. The food is clearly homemade. The cachapas are thicc and cheesy, the patacones plump and flavorfully gushing from their edges, and the Classic Pavilion quite well done too. The tequeños are short and stout, well stuffed with a cheese (although they are also available with nutella or cheese and guava too). On top of this, the prices here are very affordable. Nothing over the top, like at another, unspecified Venezuelan restaurant with several locations in the area. You can easily do a meal for two for under $30. I don't live very close to Don Tequeño y Doña Arepa. The tragedy of our years indeed. However, it is well worth the trek when possible. I encourage and expect great growth from this venue. Try it!

" Absolutely fresh & Delicious Arepas & Empanadas " Oh wow…read morethey make these to order and fresh . You got to wait a tad because they are made fresh . They are not sitting around already made . When you bite into a arepa it's magical; and freshly made off the stove . The empanadas taste just as fresh & delicious. I got the "Venezuelan lemonade" it's good too . Just a bit sweet , that never hurt anyone ; lol. The vibe is welcoming & friendly. I definitely will be back here when in the area .

I got the pelua arepa to go with spicy beef and cheese, they also included some sauces on the side which was nice so it didn't get soggy on the way back. The arepa was very tasty, I got mine fried and it felt like it was made fresh. The meat was a little tough to chew through at times but still tasty, and I did like the cheeses. It tasted yummy. Their menu is large and they have many arepas, I would like to try other kinds. Plus they have other venezuelan dishes too. This place is very inviting and everyone inside was friendly.

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.

I've had a hard time finding arepas in Boston and most of the arepas are Venezuelan, so I was very…read moreexcited to see that they have Colombian arepas here. The arepas are very big and range from $5 for a simple cheese arepa to $18 depending on what toppings are on it. I ordered a carne desmechada arepa ($13.20) and arepa paisa ($15.60). Both arepas were very dry and the surface completely hardened so the arepas were hard to cut with a knife. They were piled HIGH with meat. The meat had great seasoning and flavor; the shredded beef was juicy and the chicharron was very crunchy. Sadly, the carne desmechada arepa only came with two tiny pieces of avocado! I also got an order of yuca fries ($4.80). The fries were more firm than fluffy on the inside. I probably wouldn't get these again. I might come here for their entrees because their meat is tasty, but I would look for a different place if I crave arepas.
