I have to admit I was not in the best mood when I arrived. I didn't mean to give attitude... but Marleeis (I hope that's how I spell her name) Handled me very well. She was so polite even tho I was bitchy! She did a great job on calming me down just by doing her job and being genuine I'm definitely coming back here, with a better attitude lol Thank you Marluis(I hope i spelled her name right) for saving the day!

Reina Pepiada   Filled with Chicken, Cabbage and mashed Avocado.
Sandra D.

My first time ever trying Arepas and all I got to say is that I'm not a fan. Went because someone told me (in general) how good Venezuelan Arepas were, but sorry, was not convinced. I won't say I will never try them again, but for sure at another place I will. I did not know what to order, so the waiter a very sweet young man recommended the Avocado, Chicken and Cabbage filling Arepa. This did not have any taste, was too mushy and the Chicken was not fresh. It tasted like chicken from a can. Again, I will probably give them another chance but definitely not here. I was not given the side salsa's either. When I got home I realized they were not included. I guess if you do not ask, you do not get.

My sister was craving Venezuelan Arepas and I've never had one before so it was the perfect lunch opportunity. This restaurant is located in the plaza with the Ross and DD's Discount; plenty of parking spots available. The sign outside their restaurant states to call to place a pickup order. There's a lot of options on their menu but I just went with the Especial Latin Fork 1 since it's named after the restaurant sooo it has to be one of their popular ones right? My sister got her usual La Boricua and exchanged the yellow cheese to the white cheese. Masks are enforced when entering. There was a couple dining inside but most customers who came in where pickup and I noticed a lot were regulars. I was not expecting this arepa to be packed! This is totally worth the money and it is a very filling meal. I was very satisfied with my arepa. I didn't need to add any additional sauces, the flavors were all there and it was not dry. The arepa had a nice crispy outside layer and the melted cheese was delicious. Would definitely recommend visiting this place.

Lunch delivered  Arepa Especial de Pollo
Judith D.

This was delivery just for one. Quick lunch for yours truly. Very good although not too crazy that they add chicken salad to their stuffed arepas. I had the chicken stuffed arepa with pink sauce. That sauce is the BOMB . Had a passion fruit juice that was so so. Will order again just for a quick lunch and another meat selection. Maybe next time I'll ask them to leave out the chicken salad.

But, of course, when it's time to eat and you're in a mall, you have to go to the food court. So ... I did. Here comes El Arepazoo, an International Fast Food spot here and I have to be honest ... one of the best spots I've been in a long time. Their food is absolutely amazing. I had the Patacon, a Venezuelan dish that was just DELICIOUS. I had mine with fries and pernil. Instead of bread, your sandwich is Plantains. This dish took me to Flavortown and my son had the arepa sandwich with shrimp. This was a really enjoyable dish. The service is flawless, their turnaround time is amazing and the ambiance was pretty chill for a Sunny Saturday. I will DEFINITELY come here again and try other dishes. This place RULED!

Before arriving, I called to confirm that it would be acceptable to walk in without a reservation and was told that it would. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. The server immediately expressed frustration about accommodating a large party without a reservation. We were then directed to a table intended for six people, with the expectation that three adults and the children would share a single bench in an extremely cramped arrangement. When I politely requested an additional two-seat table so everyone could be seated comfortably, the manager's response was simply that we could "take it or leave it." Given the lack of professionalism and unwillingness to reasonably accommodate our group, we chose to leave. We will not be returning to this location.

The chicharron had a great flavor but the "skin" wasn't that crispy and had a chewy texture. The flan wasn't that sweet and had more of a vanilla extract flavor. I didn't care for it. Overall, the food was disappointing. However, the ambiance was very lively and featured live music. The waitress wasn't the greatest. I asked for water, but she gave us a bottle of water instead - which I found out later was $4! It wasn't a fancy brand of water either. I would have appreciated a heads up that there was a cost for water, especially since tap water is usually provided for free at most restaurants. Double check your bill. An automatic 20% tip was added to the receipt (it wasn't disclosed to us), and we were not part of a group.

Ok this has to be my favorite restaurant in Orlando and I loved the food so much. Alfredo was my…read moreserver and he had the best recommendation and I loved it. The empanada came LOADED with shredded beef and this empanada didn't skimp out on quality. It tastes so good when you dip it with the green sauce and it was chef's kiss. I think this is the best empanada I ever had and when I tried other empanada, it doesn't even compare to this. I ordered another dish but I forgot the name and it's soo good. I was a little disappointed because the menu said pick 3 sides and I chose all beef. Alfredo didn't mention to me that there would be an additional charge for the beef. As a result, I had to pay an additional $10 which was very pricey and didn't find out until I received my bill and saw the charge. I didn't make any complaints because the employees seem not to speak English well and it's hard to be a foreigner trying to adapt to the culture and the language. But this is soo good and I can see why the reviews on yelp are all stellar.

I live close, so have come here quite a bit over the year…read more Pro- Just got renovated, so it looks pretty. The staff is nice, and the food is good. They also have lunch specials, which is nice. Cons- There is ALWAYS a weird perm smell when you go. It literally smells like someone is perming their hair, so not good. Another con is sometimes it takes long to get your food. And last but not least, I think their prices are not reasonable lately. Some of the prices do not match their menu, not sure when they raised their prices but I have never ever heard of a patacon costing almost $26 anywhere, and I frequent a lot of Venezuelan spots. Their name went from Q'Kenan restaurant to Q'Kenan Steakhouse so maybe now they just raised all the prices, I don't know. Their most expensive patacon on the menu is the one with Picańha and it says $17...yet I got charged 25.90. Regardless of how good something is, there shouldn't be a $9 difference from what is on the menu. That is absurd. On my last trip- $43 for an empanada, tequeńos and a patacon just doesn't sound right for Venezuelan food, and I come from living in Miami where restaurants are supposed to be more expensive. Add a tip and you're paying over $50 for street food. That's wild.
