I cannot say enough good things about the experience we had here. My husband and I went in for lunch with another couple last weekend for Valentine's Day and had such an amazing time. The food was so good, but even more than that our server Diana was delightful. She was so friendly and helpful in picking out what to order. We started with the super sampler platter, which was a really good idea if you are not super familiar with Venezuelan food (like us). It gives you an idea of how to order your main course (if you still have room!) I think my favorite thing from the meal was chicken patacon that we had on the appetizer platter. I will go back for that for sure ! Everything was so good! My husband had the arepa mechada (shredded beef) and loved it. Their drink menu is really good as well. The passion fruit margarita was so good as was the carajillo Diana was on point and made sure our drinks were always full and that we had a great time. We will be back for sure ! read more

Que Chevere - Domino arepa - Venezuelan Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

Que Chevere has become one of my favorite restaurants in the entire Phoenix metro area. The staff are great and the food is consistently excellent. The arepas, empanadas, the corn pancakes, the meat quality, the plantains... all bomb as fuck. Outstanding. The menu isn't doing any cutesy bullshit with dumb names or "please them all" variety. Straight forward and excellent. And if you've never had Venezuelan before, just get the sampler. The interior isn't much, but whatever, you're there to eat. Too many places in PHX offer a decent atmosphere but mid ass food. read more

Omg the food is fantastic. The vibe is super chill nothing fancy but food is awesome. The staff is attentive and busy clearly for good reason. It's fun to walk around in the area as well after dinner. read more

This is the only Venezuelan place I've ever tried. I'm surprised how different it was from Mexican food, although--duh-- that makes perfect sense since they're two completely different countries. This place isn't fancy, but it's nice enough. There is a really cool mural on one wall and on another The words Venezuela are spelled out in red, Blue, and yellow. There's a bar with bar stools and from the looks of it it's a pretty full bar. I didn't see a cocktail menu or drink menu, so I assume they'll make what you ask. Our server was very nice and you can tell he aimed to please. They serve arepas, which are kind of like a cross between a thick tortilla and a steamed bun. They're pretty heavy, but delicious. We all got the chicken arepa which has shredded chicken cooked with seasoning and perhaps peppers? They had mashed avocado on the arepa. It was served with fried plantains. It was all delicious! We've been here several times and each time I have loved it. I've had fried plantains at other places, but honestly I like these ones the best. read more

I only got to order takeout since we were out for Noon Year, but I am glad we got to wait around at the establishment. Everyone was super friendly and were giving out Prosecco for Noon Years! I got the plato pabellon and was filled with lots of meat! They sure don't skimp on the portions her. The meat was well seasoned and juicy, and the beans, plantains, and rice were also delicious. The arepa (their corn bread) was also well made. Can't wait to come back to try other dishes. read more

Delicious food! We ordered the arepa domino, cachapa with shredded beef, and chicha. The arepa was good, the chicha reminded me of cinnamon egg nog (delightful), and the cachapa was AMAZING. It is a pancake made from corn (with corn pieces) folded like an omelet with fried cheese, meat if you so choose, and topped with white shredded cheese- 11/10! If you're ever in Mesa, definitely check this place out! read more

Que Chevere is fantastic!! It's quite small so you may want to consider going outside of busy lunch hours. When we walked in we were quickly greeted and given an overview of the menu as it was our first time. We had never tried Venezuelan food, but had Que Chevere recommended multiple times. I ordered a spicy margarita and my husband had an old fashioned. My husband said his drink was okay, but my margarita was super delightful! I asked for it to be spicer my second round and it was perfect. For our meal I had the arepa pabellon and it was mind blowing with the amount of flavors I experienced! The corn pancake mixed with the seasoned shredded beef, black beans, cheese, and the cilantro creama was so good! Plus the fried plantain chips on the side were different but seriously yummy! My husband ordered the Que Chevere Pepito and said it was okay. There was a lot of ketchup and mayo on the top which overpowered any other flavors. He did say that the steak was cooked perfectly and he enjoyed the pieces of bacon as well. Overall we will definitely visit again when we're in Mesa! read more

My husband had really been wanting to try this since he lived in Venezuela as a young man. It did not disappoint. The service was amazing. Everyone was helpful and checked on us regularly. We went on a Wednesday where happy hour was all day, and the drinks didn't disappoint. Food was hot and delicious. I loved the shredded beef. Empanadas were spot on but a bit greasy. We tried the appetizer arepas and the sauce was divine. It is located on Main Street with many cute shops nearby. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the prices were just right. read more

Came here after having a couple of beers at the brewery just a few buildings down. This place is amazing! A TRUE gem. The place is very welcoming and the staff are super friendly and very helpful when there is a need to get a better handle of the menu. This is traditional Venezuelan food, and it is absolutely delicious - and very well presented! We ordered several items and the empanadas were honestly my faves... but it was all really good. The place is not huge but a decent size, and thankfully not full of wall TVs which I think often detract from the ambience. There was only one TV and it was off! We had a couple of drinks including some of their higher end tequilas and I have to say it was a great evening all round. The food was incredible. With the increase in quality dining and beverage locations in DT Mesa, there are some great choices. This is definitely in the top of my list in Mesa! read more

What a treat. We came for the first time and had the sampler and the Patacon, child's burger, cocktail, Venezuelan beer and a flight of the Venezuelan runs. What a treat. And topped it off with a flan. Loved the service, atmosphere and definitely the food. We'll be back. read more

If you haven't been to Qué Chevere in downtown Mesa yet, I'm going to kindly suggest you stop what you're doing and GO. We ordered the sampler plate - it was a whole fiesta on a platter. The tequeños? Golden, crispy cheese sticks of joy. The beef empanadas? A spiritual experience. The chicken empanadas are solid, but the beef deserves its own fan club. We shared everything family-style with our "taste-buddies" (aka two teen guys and tween girlie), and the portions were generous. Even with three human vacuums at the table, we had leftovers. Bless. The arepa pabellón brought it all home; fluffy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Shout-out to the staff: kind, helpful, and genuinely happy to walk you through the menu like the arepa angels they are. The vibe is casual, welcoming, and full of heart -exactly what you want from a spot serving Venezuelan comfort food this good. Great value, even better vibes. Will definitely be back- next time we're bringing reinforcements. read more

Came for dinner & ordered the Arepa Pabellón plate. It's exactly what I was expecting. Flavorful, delicious, and filling. Staff is friendly & attentive. Restaurant has great vibes along with good music. (Music was not too loud which is great) You can hear conversations without having to yell. I'm not a drinker but the bar is stalked up with alcohol. The table next to me ordered drinks & they were so pretty. If I drank I would have definitely ordered one. The table was pleased with their drinks as they were sipping on them. Orvid the owner took the time to stop by & say hi. Really nice guy & I would definitely come back again to support this local Venezuelan restaurant. You won't be disappointed with the Arepa Pabellón!!!! read more

I kept hearing about this place and I'm so glad I finally went in to give it a try. Omg this food is so good! The arepas are to die for. The meat inside of them is so flavorful and that green sauce!! *drool* The drinks are also fabulous and great service. There's a good amount of seating inside and a nice dog-friendly patio in the front too. My first experience with Venezuelan food did not disappoint! I'm definitely going to come back to try the brunch options. read more

WOW! This place was amazing! We were looking at places to go on a Friday night when our kid was at grandma's house Ava this place looked interesting. If you are thinking about it, just go! The server was super friendly and helpful and the food? We have no notes! It was simply delicious. We got the Que Chevere Paracon - a plantain sandwich with shredded beef and chicken and sauces and it was easily big enough for 2. I highly recommend!! We also got some beverages of the alcoholic variety and they were also fantastic. The Venezuelan Old Fashioned was superb!! Just go!!! read more

Oh my gosh if you haven't been here yet - you're missing out! This place has got immaculate vibes and even tastier food. We sat outside since it was nice weather and our server was still attentive, which is something I get nervous of when sitting outside. We asked what he recommended and got what he suggested - all was incredible. My wraps was the perfect mix of sweet bread with savory meat and flavor inside. I LOVED it. Our drinks was so yummy too, we got a Paloma and a passion fruit margarita. Definitely will be back here again. read more

Que Chevere - Arepa Pabellon - Venezuelan Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We were walking around downtown, looking for a place that serves food AND beer AND wine AND liquor, and I was surprised how challenging that was. But then we found Que Chever, a place that promised all of the above. We'd never had Venezuelan food before, but the server was great - even though we'd been warned the kitchen was closing in 20 minutes, she still took her time with us patiently explaining everything on the menu and helping us make our choices. We finally decided on the super sampler so we could try a little bit of everything, and oh my gosh!! It was all sooooo good! I discovered a new love of Venezuelan food last night. We were very well cared for - the servers checked back with us frequently and kept the drinks coming. We shared a picnic table outside (there were four of us) and the vibe was perfect - fun, casual and easy. Also of note, one of our foursome is a vegetarian, so she skipped the super sampler and had the veggie arepa, which she said was delicious. We will definitely be back!! read more

Great burger and beers place, if you're in Mesa please check it out!!! The bartender Brian was amazing!!

Truly a hidden gem in Mesa! Stopped by yesterday with my bestie for some food and drinks. Very limited seating inside, so it can get crowded on the weekends. The wall art was very cool! We decided to sit at the bar, and I'm very glad we did. The bartender, Jared, was so friendly, and made us some amazing drinks! I really love that he strives to make you a great drink, and will ask what you like, so he can get it just right . We decided to let him surprise us with some drinks, and they did no disappoint. I did not catch the names of them all, but great drinks nonetheless. We ordered the ribs(only offered on Fridays and Saturdays), and we split the dirty burger with fries. The ribs were excellent, some of the best I've ever had! They served them with bbq and this delicious green salsa type sauce for dipping. The burger was so juicy and delicious as well. Fries were crispy and perfect! I will definitely be back! read more

Que Chevere - Venezuelan Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Had an up and down experience at Que Chevere after hearing rave reviews from friends. (Including my wife's friend who said it was just like home! So take my review with a grain of salt) Service was sporadic and it was hard to get our order in and get things like a to go box and sauces. We also felt like we were getting upsold. Juice of the day ($4.50) - we got the guava, sugar cane, passion fruit and chicha (like horchata) and they were all really sweet. Like cloyingly so. I usually like my agua frescas but the Venezuelan versions here I couldn't finish. Sampler ($16) - had four fried tequenos filled with cheese as well as four arepas that you could pick and choose which flavor from beef, chicken and cheese. These were the highlight of our dinner and were delicious pieces of fried goodness. It was pretty heavy though as everything was fried and I would've liked more of the guasacaca sauce as they only gave us one and not ranch as that made it pretty heavy. (Even ketchup here would've been nice ) Cachapa ($11 plus $13 carne en vara upgrade) - this upsell here left a sour taste after. The waitress asked if we wanted the cachapa and then said people usually add a meat and asked if we wanted the special. Well the carne en vara upgrade totaled more than the cost of the dish! It was pretty good though quite heavy as it was fried maize, cheese and beef but not $25 good and I wish she told me how much it would be beforehand. It also didn't come with any avocado or salad so it felt like eating a pound of fried cheese and meat. Arepas ($13) - these hit the spot but alas came with ranch and guasacaca like all other dishes and a side of fried plantains. At this point having so much fried food and not much else was pretty hard to finish. The owner came by with some delicious ribs to sample that I would've gladly ordered but didn't see them on the menu. Pretty disappointing and for $85 before tax and tip for four not cheap. Maybe we ordered wrong and ordered the heavy stuff only? The papellon plate others ordered online looks way better. Wish I steered our crew to the delicious Taco Chiwas nearby instead. read more

We had lunch here and were amazed by how good the food was. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. We had the tequenos as a starter and they were really good! If you like cheese, this is the appetizer for you. I had the shredded beef arepa with the plantain chips, my sister had the hamburger, my brother had the pabellon, and my mom had chicken arepa. The arepas were really good! Both the chicken and shredded beef were seasoned, and not dry. The plato pabellon was also good. It was a mixture of black beans, white rice, shredded beef, and an arepa. The portion was pretty big and enough to share. The hamburger was huge and this is definitely not your typical hamburger. Its super loaded and big. It had meat, chicken, cheese, tomato, lettuce, bacon, egg, ham, potato sticks, and avocado slices. Huge. Service was good and we were checked on several times. Definitely worth checking this place out! Both food and service were great! read more

Que Chevere - At Marina Heights today - Venezuelan Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We are a group of 5 people, having lunch and first time, waitress was very helpful and we enjoyed the food and the servce, we are going back

The customer service is excellent In a party of 4 we were divided in the opinion of the flavor of the food. I think the black beans needed more flavor. The chicken and beef arepas were good. Good flavor The French fries were the best in my opinion. So i don't think i will be back for just french fries. My chifles...hmm...i can get yummy chifles at sprouts. Half of my party are regulars here. I love that is family owned and AGAIN. The service is excellent. I do hope this place continues to be supported by all of us. I just didn't like it a 5. read more

I can't say enough positives about this place. What a gem! The menu is Venezuelan based and everything I tried was super tasty. Known for their arepas, but the empanadas were also great. And I would have felt lame ordering a cheeseburger from here, except I was told by bartender Mike that they are super good and worth trying. So I took his advice and tried one of the off menu options. I was not disappointed! What will keep me coming back here for sure are the cocktails expertly crafted by Mike. It doesn't seem to matter what you ask him for, he will make you a delicious and well balance drink while you enjoy the Latin music playing. read more

When it comes to work-related team activities, we always look to try new food places and Que Chevere was on my list for a few months... Glad we came!! We sat outside and started with the Sampler as most of the group hadn't tried Venezuelan food. It had Tequenos, Mini Empanadas, Mini Arepas with a great dipping side of Cilantro. When it came to lunch, I went with the Que Chevere Pepito... SO GOOD!!! The French Bread held up well with all the items & the steak was tender... the fries were hot & the Mango Margarita(s) were 'dyno-mite'. Would highly recommend as I luv what the downtown Mesa community has evolved into over the years. Nice selection of bar items and it matched the Food Truck Experience I had before with them. Great way to spend an afternoon in Downtown Mesa hitting up the shops and stopping by Que Chevere for lunch! Staff was really friendly and again, none of the food items disappointed for the entire team!!! read more

For November's International Supper Club UYE we headed out to Que Chevere. Que Chevere started out as a food truck and now a great addition to Main Street downtown Mesa. After checking out the menu I went with Pabellon Criollo. It was shredded beef, black beans with white Venezuelan cheese, white rice, fried plantains and a plain arepa, the perfect comfort meal on a cool night. Everything had great flavor. Been craving plantains and this hit the spot! Glad to have added Que Chevere to our ISCUYE list and look forward to coming back! read more
