Everyone needs to come here. Especially New Yorkers who know their Spanish food well. This place is…read morelocated in the main touristy area of Madrid and HIGHLY worth it. Do not pass this place. The line outside is long for a reason. It's because they have patacons, arepas (arepera depending where you are from) tostones, rice beans, avocados, tequenos (called cheese fingers), and flooded with flavor. I had the patacon mixtos which get you three patacons of different varieties. This was so popular in NYC as it holds a lot of Puerto Ricans & Dominicans. I was sooooo happy to see it here I went wild. The only difference is that the sauce is right on top of the tostone and you don't eat it like a sandwich it's with utensils. Still same concept and flavor and of course I'll be back.

As first dish I had a Patacón de Pollo which I liked and it had a generous portion of meat. As second dish I had a Cerdo Guisado con Arroz y Tajada which was very good as well. Finally, also the Arroz con Leche as postre was tasty. The service is quick and friendly.

The menu had a large variety of typical Venezuelan cuisine. I had the Plato Criollo vegetarian. Must say it was good the plátano ( plantain) was just right not too fried or oily that if not done right is like eating burn oil. The arepa was also just right.

Having spent time living in Venezuela, I love finding restaurants that serve their food. I ordered…read moreArepas via a local food delivery service, and was not disappointed. I got the Pabellón (shredded beef with rice, black beans, fried plantains, and an arepa) and the chicken arepa. Both were really good, I'm getting hungry writing this review and thinking about them! Pricing was very reasonable, even after paying for the delivery fee.

As a Venezuelan I will do all foreigners a favor by telling them not to bother with this place if…read moreyou're looking for a decent arepa. They got my order wrong (which is fine with me since I like all arepas but even after I told her she just shrugged and didn't apologize) and their empanadas are terrible too. Even the juices were subpar (except maybe the mango). Seriously don't bother!

Some friends recommended me this place and I had faith in it because of that…read more The 2 stars I'm giving here, are not about food quality, cleanliness of the restaurant or because of poor service, it's because, for some reason, Venezuelans think they can charge ridiculous prices for food just because it's a "Venezuelan" restaurant. I'm well aware this is in Malasaña but 16 euros for a roasted chicken and 2 beverages? You gotta be kidding me. Quality-wise I can get the exact same chicken elsewhere for half the price. I sat down and as soon as i saw the prices I just left. Because I`ll rather spend 19 euros on an excellent sirloin steak with french fries and pimientos de piquillo anywhere else than paying 16 euros for a friggin roasted chicken. If you dig the place and the neighborhood and don't care getting charged outrageous prices (even higher than in other venezuelan restaurants) than everywhere else in Madrid, come. It's clean and they are polite.

This spot has changed names to Matute Arepa Bar and that is the restaurant im reviewing…read more You'd probably figured Arepa bar, A place that specializes in only arepas, how could that exist?? Well it does and it's amazing! Which a hipster vibe and a friendly staff, the Matute might not be classic Spanish food but it does a great job developing flavors and presenting solid dishes. I tried three difference ones, pulled pork, pork loin and black beans/plantains. All three were excellent! Generous portions for the price. Thr only down side i felt was that the pork loin was slightly overcooked. Other than that, great sauces!! About 5euro per arepa but totally worth it. Bonus they dont charge for water here and have wifi! Overall, i really enjoyed my meal here. They have better arepas than some of the Venezuelan places ive been to in the states. Will be back to try the breakfast menu! Protip: make a reservation on TripAdvisor for 30% off

I was visiting Madrid and came here for arepas 3 out of the 4 days we were in town. Yes, we loved…read morethem that much! The owner was very friendly and really made us feel welcome. Every time we came, we were eating at unpopular times so the restaurant was never busy but i believe it gets crowded at night. I'm vegan so I inquired which arepas, if any, could be made vegan. I was informed with confidence that there were two options, the veggie or the Caribbean veggie. The Caribbean veggie was the BEST. My meat eating friend enjoyed a couple different selections but her favorite was also the Caribbean veggie. Complete with black beans, fried plantain and avocado, it was loaded up and delicious. They also have salsas for you to rest out on your food. The sangria was delicious and made to order and was something we truly loved from Matute as well.

My favorite Venezuelan food is Tequeños. They are Breaded Chesse sticks that are fried. This place has 5 for €5. It would be 5 stars except for the heat.

This is a really cute cafe in the Malasana section of Madrid…read more We purchased a Groupon for here while visiting and left stuffed! Our Groupon came with two drinks, three starters, two mains, and dessert! The three starters were Tequenos, Tostones, and Cassava Sticks. All were delicious. My husband and I ordered Arepas as our main. They were giant! I got the chicken Arepa, and my husband got the meatloaf, but it looked more like pulled meat. We both enjoyed them very much, although when I ordered mine I didn't realize that it was more like chicken salad. In retrospect, I would have ordered something with less mayo. For dessert we ordered passion fruit cheesecake. At that point we were stuffed, but we ate it what we could, and it was also really good with a unique taste. My only complaint was I felt like we were a hassle to the woman working. Not sure if it was because of our nationality, the fact that we had a Groupon, or if it was something on her end, but we didn't really feel welcome. Regardless, I enjoyed my meal and would go back if visiting Madrid again.

I was…read moregetting over a sinus infection and hadn't been eating good or tasting my food all that much for the past few weeks before this. The appetizer that we got was really good. The Arepa I got was the meatloaf one, but it wasn't really meatloaf, it was more like pulled brisket or something. It was really good. I remember eating everything super slow and enjoying it very much. I remember that my wife enjoyed it as well. The service was good and the restaurant was cozy. I enjoyed my dinner. Altogether I thought this dinner was really solid. I found a bonus five euros while we were killing time before our reservation.
