So hear me out. This place is inside of a gas station taking up barely the corner pero whoa. The arepas here are hands down my ALL TIME favorite. There is a WHOLE restaurant dedicated to arepas somewhere near that we have tried but don't even bother going there. This is where you need to be trying your arepas from. I really wish this place was a stand alone restaurant because they are really that good. Our favorite arepa to get is carne con queso (meat with cheese). It's shredded beef that's SO flavorful and juicy under a big bed of melted cheese. I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use.. it might be mozzarella but it doesn't taste like it. I just know it's delicious. The arepas are not dry and hard like other places I have been to. I'm Puerto Rican so I love me some good & flavorful empanadas - the Venezuelan empanadas they have here surprised me. The masa is very slightly sweet and the fillings (cheese, beef, or chicken) are just as flavorful as the shredded beef they put on the arepa. So yummy.
Do yourself a favor and come here for your next arepa. Thank me later. read more
