    Seeing how highly rated this place was, we stopped by the moment we were in the area, and it did…read morenot disappoint! While my review itself is a bit late, I do think about this place often because of how good the food was. I haven't had pepitos before, but this made an amazing introduction for me! From the outside, it looked like the rest of the plaza and didn't stand out much. Stepping in, it was surprisingly pretty cool and a bit modern with the lighting and walls. It was clean too. I would recommend getting a pepitos over the burger, though both are great. It's just easier to put away the rest for later because of how filling eating just half is. The fries were crispy and good for trying out all the sauces. And the sauces? Love the variety. The bacon sauce truly tastes like bacon and has bits of it in it. Corn is probably made with sweet corn, and it was creamy. Love the garlic. The honey mustard was good too. Cheese confuses me. It wasn't a cheese flavor I am more familiar with, and it wasn't like the cheese used in the meal. I didn't dislike it, but I also did mix sauces together, and I liked it better once mixed with something else. Garlic still is just great overall though. We ended with churros, which were pretty good. They drizzle lots of chocolate, caramel, and condensed milk over them, and while I felt guilty after eating so much food, I loved every moment. They give quite a bit, and we couldn't finish them all. Great dessert for sharing, and another draw to this place if you don't want a full meal, though I highly recommend getting food as well.

    I had never had arepas before, and wanted to try them--Celida's was the perfect place to do so! We…read morewere greeted very warmly and the lady at the register was so welcoming to my son, that's always heartwarming. We ordered two arepas (reina pepiada, carne) and two empanadas (cheese and chicken) and were given a buzzer to come back when they were done. The food was so delicious! I am still thinking about the arepa, the outside of the corn cake was so crispy and the inside was moist. The best part was the salsa de ajo, a white garlic sauce that the owner was nice enough to give me extra containers of. I also ordered Chicha, which the owner explained is a Venezuelan drink similar to horchata--it is definitely more the consistency of a milkshake and I was not expecting that, so keep this in mind if ordering for the first time! The location is in a mall food court, so there is a play area next to the food stall and lots of arcade games, plenty of things for kids of any age range. Pricing was great as well. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I am certain that we will be back, even if just for take-out.

    I was looking for a jibarito nearby, but couldn't find anything. This place came up and I decided…read moreto check it out. I ordered a lot of different items from the menu, as I wasn't really sure which I would like. The portions are huge and very generous! The food is sooo good. I am literally supposed to be on the way to the airport to go back home to Chicago, but here I am waiting for a 2nd order here! My favorite is the arepas with shredded beef, cheese, black beans and sweet plantains. (Though all the things I tried were super good.) The restaurant is in the back of the mall at the food court. Try this place. Also the white cream sauce, is like a garlic sauce or something, it's super fire!!! Get an extra one of those if possible. The workers are also very nice and friendly. Everything served hot and fresh, you can't go wrong! I'm a picky, finicky eater...Please believe me. All my family and friends tell me I need to be a professional food critic. This food is worth it. Sooo good. I'll be thinking about this place for a while lol

    First off I love me a good arepa! They were so kind as it was my first time…read more Presentation Ambiance Good food The ambiance resembled being outside. I was really impressed by the food presentation because a rice pyramid was not on the books this day but trust me when I say I wasn't mad at it and we enjoyed the taste even more! The arepa was out of this world. Just what I asked for! I love the sauce options. So good Must return and get it again I just didn't enjoy the dessert. Something about hot guava sauce wasn't my thing.

    This is our new "go-to" place as of recently. Everything is gluten free and it's easy to swap out…read morenata/dairy sauces with other sauces or remove cheese. We've ordered the same dishes twice because they are so good: arepita frita: tiny fried arepas. Interestingly, these are just like what my family called fried cornbread growing up. It hit a nostalgic taste note for me. cachapa: a sweet corn pancake (has egg) filled with seasonal market veggies. I can't say enough good things about how those veggies are cooked. They are perfectly sauteed and seasoned. Next time I'm just getting a bowl of them. Lately it has been broccolini, kale, mushrooms, squash and zucchini. Empanadas: these are made to order so you can remove cheese from the filling. I don't even like sweet plantain but the combination of sweet plantain with the savory black beans in the crispy shell is perfection. These reheat well also. Guava juice is otherworldly. Soooo good. The food also holds up well for leftovers, if you have any!

    **This review is for their Gainesville location that opened not long ago…read more You know my love for Venezuelan food so the fact that Gainesville now has another Venezuelan food spot is a huge YES for me. They have a fun menu but my main go to is their pastelitos because they are hard to find. Call ahead like I did and get some pastelitos to go!! @don.arepacho is inside a Mobil gas station off Browns Bridge Rd in Gainesville. I've been back a few times and every items has been good, but be warned, if you order the VERGATARIA burger, make sure you're hungry AND have your stretchy pants on... that thing is NOT playing Their dining area isn't what I would call a full dine in set up, they have a few small tables in case you decide to eat there but it isn't a full DINE IN restaurant like the spot they have in Norcross. If you show up at any get together with pastelitos... everyone will love you, ask me how I know Get your order in and let me know if you can finish off that burger!!! Pictured here LA VERGATARIA - Venezuelans have always liked dressing up their burgers, so don't be surprised by this. In between the buns you'll find the following: a burger patty, grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, bacon, egg, little pepito fries, American cheese, queso de mano (soft white cheese). You're gonna have to be comfortable with getting a little messy here Pastelitos - These are Venezuelan pastelitos, my favorite. You can order a variety of types like ground beef, cheese and potato, pizza, cheese, chicken, or mini pateslitos which are AWESOME because they are a dollar each so you can grab a variety of them Steak Arepa Chicken Cachapa #rolieats #goodeats #goodfood #venezuelanfood #gainesville #northgeorgia #burgers #pastelitos #cachapas #arepas #donarepacho #latinofood #bigfan
