Arepa Pollo (Chicken)
Brittany H.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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!

Delish!! Great friendly and attentive service. Quick and hot food. We loved it. It's a small place with casual seating. Parking is around the corner in public lots.

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!

Stopped here to try the arepas and it did not disappoint. They are super filling and loaded. The staff was also super sweet and the atmosphere was so lively

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.

Some of the best food I've ever eaten! I do not eat Venezuelan food at all. It is amazing! Every plate was cleaned!

Friendly service, good came out quick. Tons of meat in the shredded beef arepa, plantain chips were super crispy and the green sauce drenched over the arepa added a nice spicy touch. The beef was seasoned well and the arepa itself was hearty. It was pretty quiet when I popped in around 11:50am for lunch.

The food was delicious. The staff was helpful in explaining the unique dishes. Overall a great experience.

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!!!!

Lots of Venezuela decor.

7/28/26 First visit…read more Parking 5/5 Arrived at ~ 12:30 and parking was available in the Postage Stamp size lot. Glad I arrived when I did because several groups came in after seating myself. It looks like street parking and adjacent businesses have spaces which might be available otherwise. Atmosphere 3/5 Although I enjoyed the artwork, this is essentially a small fast food like restaurant. Very small dining room with awful acoustics. Guests of more than two bring the conversation level fairly high and the group of five who arrived behind me had the place uncomfortably loud. It reminded me of my ASU Chuck Box days. Service 4/5 Being my first visit I wish there could have been more time to have the Menu selections explained. I defaulted to my order takers recommendations. As it turned out those suggestions were nice. Food 5/5 I choose the Arroz Con Pollo Jalapeño & Ham popper Empanada Sopa Verde The Aaroz Con Pollo was unique, fresh and delicious. Interesting creation with exciting flavors. I would order this again. Great portion. The Jalapeños & Ham popper Empanada was on the small side when compared to Mexican bakeries I purchased them at. That said the selections here are many and unique! Mine was outstanding. The Jalapeño popper and ham in their perfectly cooked pastry complimented each other so well, I was not disappointed with this recommendation and would order this again! Sopa Verde was a great portion. It included premium garden vegetables including spinach, rice, alvacado, peas, fresh white chicken meat and a salsa verde that added another flavor. This was a wonderful palette treat and another item I would order again. For me Food is this restaurants strong point. Atmosphere driven by acoustics not as much. Looking for something unique, try República Empanada my friends-SYOY!

Every bite felt like a trip back home. What makes it even more special is the atmosphere. The Puerto Rican flags, the music playing softly in the background, and the warm hospitality create a beautiful celebration of our culture without feeling overdone. It's the kind of place that reminds you where you come from and makes you feel connected to your roots. If you're looking for authentic Puerto Rican food in Phoenix, this is it. Whether you're Puerto Rican yourself or trying the cuisine for the first time, this restaurant delivers an experience that is heartfelt, genuine, and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back.

So we were so excited to find Coquí. We enjoyed the empanadas (perfectly crispy with mushroom being our absolute favorite), shrimp with arroz con gandules (a garlic lovers delight and some of the best rice we've had), and a jobarito sandwich (which they were willing to make with chicken instead of pork). Everything was made fresh to order and full of authentic Boricua flavor. It was a hot day and the waitress brought us all free bottles of water. Little did I know that this business is also gay-owned. So happy to support such a business and enjoy delicious cuisine.

We didn't plan or book anything so we just decided on the type of food we wanted and googled. We originally chose somewhere else but could not get a reservation. Then we ran into Toro on google. The Lomo Saltado was the eye catcher here and what made us want to come here. We arrived roughly 40 mins ahead of time (didn't know traffics would be light). That was no problem. They sat us immediately. It was a nice day so we sat outside. It was a beautiful view of the golf course with the burning Toro sign adding a fun touch. Our waitress was a sweet young woman who was very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered every question as if she was cooking it all herself. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc to start out. Once the bottle arrived we ordered our starters. We shared the Lomo Saltado and Empanadas. The empanadas were delicious, and the herb sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The Lomo Saltado was delicious on a bed of rice. My only disappointment is that traditional Lomo Saltado comes with Fries and lots of veggies. This was great, but I was hoping for those fries and veggies. I ordered the Red Snapper Fillets with Coconut Rice as my main course and my wife ordered the Lobster Fried Rice. We felt these would pair great with the white wine we were already enjoying. As stated in the picture, prawns were included with my dish but I had them put them on the side and my wife enjoyed them. The lobster came on the shell lying on top of the fried rice. My wife felt like that was a nice touch. She chopped up the prawns and mixed that in also. She loved it a lot. Even our waitress thought it was a nice add. My red snapper fillets came a top a bed of snap peas that were sliced up and in a pool of a coconut based sauce. This dish was amazing. I cannot rave enough about the snap peas in this dish. They brought the enter thing to life. The coconut rice was also amazing and cooked to perfection. I do feel like it could have benefited from having a bit of crispy rice mixed into it. I forget the name of the free dessert the waitress brought us, but it was amazing. It was billed as more of a soufflé but I found it to be more like a lava cake on a cookie shell. They served with a a slightly lemony ice cream. You wouldn't think that would work with chocolate but it totally did. After our meal I wanted to stay a bit to drink a bottle of water and let some of that alcohol settle out of my system since I was driving and don't like to risk the biscuit. So we stopped at the bar. I got my sparkling water and my wife ordered a dirty martini. She said it was the best dirty martini she ever had. This was a sensational place to celebrate our anniversary considering it was an impromptu pick. Kudos to all involved.

Also the complementary cheese bread was good, also the ginger shots. We got the churrasco, it had alittle bit of everything. Wish the meat was cooked alittle bit more cause it looked raw.

Also got a complementary dessert , chose the brownie and it was to bitter, tasted like dark chocolate. There was a fire dancer too. The server was nice.

I ordered the grilled tilapia fillet that comes with rice and beans, some lettuce/tomato (not shown) and pico de gallo. I also ordered a steak pupusa (left).

They're a little thick for my taste. But the generous cheese and steak inside was good. If you like pupusas, I'm sure you will like there's. I do think that the tilapia meal would be better served with some kind of sour cream. I was glad I had some on hand at home. So maybe order some extra if you go. The service here was very nice.
