Que Rica's - Pappelon. National dish of Venezuela. Delicious - Venezuelan Near Me - Haddon Township, New Jersey

The last time we had arepas was during a Mexico vacation a million years ago. They were delicious. When my love shared the Yelp link for Que Rica's and said, "Shall I bring home dinner from here?", my response was, "Does Pinocchio have wooden balls?!?" -- Yuca Fries - perfectly fried and seasoned -- Esquite - street corn in a cup. What? Are you kidding me? So good but RICH. Your cholesterol will soar -- Westmont Arepa - shredded beef and fried cheese. Delicious! -- Black Betty Arepa - house-made black bean burger and plantains. Yes, please! -- Empanada - we were too stuffed to try it but looking forward to lunch tomorrow This was the cure for what ailed us on a rainy Thursday evening. We opened a bottle of Cabernet and enjoyed every minute of our dinner. Good stuff! read more

Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. I have a tried and true restaurant but I'm always on the look out for local places. We were greeted immediately by a very nice young man who answered our questions. There is inside seating. We ordered Chicken tinga tacos, a Jawn empanada and churros with chocolate sauce. The Jawn empanada was delicious. 100/10 (a bit biased because I'm a Philly Jawn IYKYK) The Chicken tinga tacos were excellent as well. 10/10 The churros were very tasty and I should add, not terribly sweet. 9/10 Overall, a good first impression and I will be sure to return. read more

I came before I'm not sure what food they serve. I found what I want to eat. But I just read all the menu. But food catch my eye was only potocones plantain sandwich.

I haven't had too much Venezuelan food so I cannot attest to its authenticity but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the Curvy Queen arepa. It had chicken with avocado and plantains. The flavors were on point. The dough was light and on the thinner side so it didn't stand up to the fillings. Overall, I would get it again. It was super filling - the size is deceiving. The tequenos appetizer was their version of a mozzarella stick. It was definitely a different take on one of my favorites but the cheese wasn't melted due to ordering take out. That happens. Next time I would heat them up. The sauce that came with it was absolutely delicious. I tried a bite of the guava and mozzarella empanada. It was crunchy and the guava was good. Again, the cheese wasn't melty but it's a take out time delay issue. read more

Empanadas are stupid good. I couldn't stop eating because they were so good, I ate until my stomach was gonna burst. The staff was so friendly. They gave us a desert one on the house to try out. We did take out but I'm sure it's just as great in person, the place had a cozy feel when we went in. read more

Easiest five star review I've ever written. This place is incredible! I live close by and have eaten here several times over the years, and the food is always superb. It's Venezuelan comfort food - so filling, so delicious, so satisfying. Last night we ordered the shredded beef cozy style, the shredded beef hangover style, and several different empanadas. The quality of the food is no joke! The beef was juicy and flavorful, the sides were abundant, and the empanadas were absolute perfection. Soft yet firm and crusty with inventive fillings. So much amazing food and all for a reasonable price! I ordered the food on a Saturday night and it was ready inside of 15 minutes. I picked it up at about 6:30 and the place was completely empty, so definitely more of a take out place. Regardless, the food is incredible, and I will be back again and again in the future. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing food. I was just passing though and stopped by. The best empanadas and yuca fries. I will be back sooner than I thought.

Really bummed because I've wanted to try this place for a while, but waited til I was finally in the area. Thank goodness, bc if I drove an hour to get here for this, it wouldn't have been worth it. The shredded chicken was so dry, I didn't even eat it after the first bite. Salsa couldn't even save it. I ordered double plantains on the side....and they were the most flavorless and overcooked plantains I've ever had. The rubbery texture was like they've been cooked more than once, or old from the day before. Even the rice was mooshy from sitting / being overdone. Literally threw it out, it was so bad. Really Disappointed. Wish I checked the food, before I got home with it, bc I would've went back to ask for a fresh batch or refund. Won't come out here again for it. read more

Oh my goodness, I have been searching for genuine arepas since having them in San Francisco 10 years ago. Que Rica's is the real deal! Awesome, absolutely awesome! I highly recommend the food here. Yummy!!! Note: There are a few tables so you can eat there too. Overall, highly recommended! read more

First time here and I was not disappointed! The arepas are soooo good plus the yuca fries! The best yuca fries I've ever eaten in my life

Beef Empanadas were great, so I will definitely continue ordering from this place. I didn't care for the chicken empanadas, the seasoning was weird. read more

some of the best fucking food I've ever had in my life. The staff is really kind and helpful, and I cannot get over the empanadas. I plan to have them cater my wedding one day. read more

3.5 really. During the pandemic, we've tried really hard to support local restaurants, so once a week, we usually pick a small place to order out from. They were very helpful when I called a few hours before I wanted to do the actual pick up. They have a deal for $30, you can order the plantains, 2 empanadas, 2 arepas and churros. Lots of food for 2 people. As for the food itself, for me, the high point were the empanadas and the plantains. Mmmmmmm. And that side cilantro sauce that came with the empanadas? I could eat a gallon of that. We ordered two different arepas, which I normally enjoy, but this time I felt the different meats (a chicken and beef) tasted pretty dry. Overall, pretty good. Next time I'd still order an arepa, but perhaps add an extra bit of that cilantro sauce. read more

Here's my best tip: Go and experiment with the menu if you're 1st time visiting. It's reasonable priced so that you can try a bit of this or that. I went with 2 meat empanadas and shared a Shaggy arepa (arepa is kinda of like a thick soft taco). Next time I'll order 2 arepas & my own because they were small and really tasty. The Shaggy was great. The sweet plantain was what brought all of the flavor together in one bite. Their chicken has the fresh seasoned taste that I really love. I'd have to say that was my favorite part of my order. The empanadas good as well and at $3 a price---why not get a few. At least that's my plan next time. I believe they have a deal now that is buy 6 for $15. The outer shell is definitely heavy corn taste , inside is stuffed with whichever varieties they have. I really need to go back because the chicken in my one came out in one bite. The location has great front door parking so that during COVID-19 you can order ahead and they will run it out to you. They were pretty busy the day I went for pick up but no issues and hot when I got home. I ordered on the phone when I got there and it was ready in about 15 minutes without me leaving my car. Returnable? Yes...a few times! read more

Excellent food and almost everything is gluten free! Definitely more of a take out spot, but there are a few small tables if you want to eat in. Empanadas and yucca fries are delicious! Have eaten here several times and it has been a good experience every time. Highly recommend! read more

We went back and I would maybe update the review to 3.5 but unfortunately yelp only allowed full stars. The caracas platter with shredded beef was pretty good, lots of food. The beef really shined and was super flavorful as were the plantains but the rice and beans were just alright. My boyfriend got two empanadas which seemed to be more doughy than when we got them the first time. I still think the loaded yucca fries are the best item we've had and would return for the fries and maybe try them with the shredded beef next time. read more

I've been here a couple times. Food is pretty good. Really good, and also great spot to check out if you're looking for a different cuisine. I went with the cozy platter. Fried rice is on point. Only suggestion I have to is to order a side of sauce cause the meat is a tad dry without it read more

First time having Venezuelan food and OMG was it good. This place has me craving for more. I had one of the platters and it was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Based on all of the awesome reviews, maybe it was just an off day. The vegetarian platter tasted and smelled off, to the point that I could only eat a few bites. I couldn't tell if it had all been made with the meats or just wasn't fresh, as the rice was dry and hard. The starter coming out significantly after one of the two entrees was annoying, but oh well. The special churros were good! Unfortunately, dead flies were on the window sill next to the table so all in all really was a disappointing experience. Maybe the owners could have a menu available in Spanish? The menu was in English, and some patrons were expressing frustration that there was no Spanish option and the cashier didn't speak any Spanish. read more

Great GLUTEN FREE options! The empanadas are phenomenal, great deal on Tuesdays 6/$15x restaurant is small and quant, not too many seats but we always take to go. read more

Small hole in the wall place with amazing food. It's more of a takeout place than a sit in

I wanted so bad to love this small little neighborhood place . We had a myriad of different things . We tried 4 different arepas two were chicken and two were beef . The beef and chicken arepas that were shredded were good each came with a grilled plantain. We also had the empanadas we ordered the beef and chicken. The empanadas has a sweet corn flavor and the sheep was good. The wait was 35 to 40 minutes. When I arrived the food was not ready after 45 minutes . I patiently waited until the food was done. Unfortunately the arepas were not prepared when I arrived but the empanadas were ready which means they will be cold . Just as expected the food was cold , the other disappointing part was the empanadas didn't have any of the dipping sauces . We wanted the experience to be so much better. The details are sometimes everything or nothing . read more

Fresh, authentic ingredients and super friendly staff. They just opened and I was excited to try it--as I guess a lot of people were because they were pretty busy at lunch time. I got the "Curvy Queen" arepa : Shredded chicken and avocado SALAD (not pulled chicken with avocado slices), plantains and smoked gouda. My overall take-away was that it was pretty dry. I think I was expecting the chicken to have some sort of juices or mole-like sauce or at least some kind of mayo. But I guess the avocado was used as the "mayo" in traditional chicken salad. Also the shredded gouda was not melted and made it a little messy to eat as it kept falling out. For a $10 sandwich, it should have come with a side of something (plantain or yucca chips??) and a beverage as it was really no bigger than a large fast food sandwich. They may want to consider a budget-friendly lunch/combo menu. At these prices, it is a little prohibitive to make this your daily lunch spot. I'm sure they're still learning and I expect to try it again once they've "gotten in their groove". They seem like very friendly, down to earth people who want to make sure their food is perfect and well-loved. Good luck to them! read more

I'm always on alert for South American food, and this new Venezuelan restaurant did not disappoint! Great variety from basics (empanadas and arepas) to full meals, including gluten-free and vegan options! Easy for a sit-down meal or a quick grab and go. Family friendly, reasonably priced, and the kids loved the food. Very clean and welcoming too. There's a lot to explore on the menu and I'll definitely be back! Buen provecho! read more

Very clean, and DELICIOUS!! It's not much for atmosphere (in a strip mall with fluorescent lighting) but I have to say the food travels well in to-go containers. Honestly- the apps and empanadas were better than the wrap sandwich but it was all good. The loaded yucca fries were AMAZING! As was this special pancake app with cheese. OMG. We will be ordering here again no doubt! read more

First time eating at Que Rica's and I will definitely be back!! Everything was absolutely delicious. So much fresh, homemade goodness. Highly recommend. read more

I've ordered twice and I was very happy the first time and very disappointing the second time. I ordered a meal yesterday and when I got home it looked like it was sitting under a heat lamp all day long. The fried plantains look dry and unedible and the steak looked extra crispy and burnt. I was very surprised because the first time I ordered food, everything seemed freshly made which is why I went back a second time. read more

Yesterday was our first time going, and won't be our last. We went to the restaurant and ordered on sight. It was hard to choose since everything sounded delicious! We ordered loaded yuca fries, a Curvy Queen and Sombrero Arepa, and churros. Oh! We also tried the fresh tamarind juice and it was so good! Our order came out quick and hot, and the staff was delightful. We took our food and ate at Cooper River Park close by and had a lovely picnic. Food was GREAT!

Stumbled upon this goldmine when I found out my bagel place was closing early. Soooo good. The empanadas, the arupas... the platters!!!!! $50 well spent on trying a smorgasbord to stuff my face. I loved my bagel place, but this will be my new habit when I cross the bridge into Jersey. Sooo good! Perked my day right up. Delicious, fresh and hot! And the passionfruit juice made me feel I was back on the beach. read more

Wish we tried it sooner. We ordered for the first time 2 weeks ago and have ordered twice again since. We've had most of the empanadas, the churros, and 2 of the arepas. All so good! Even the 3 year old was a fan. read more

Ordered takeout for the first time today. I added this to my list because of their gluten free menu (and the fact that it's Latin American cuisine!) My daughter has celiac and she had the pollo empanadas. It comes with a side of dipping sauce (I forgot the name), the taste was light - a different taste with the regular discs I've tasted in empanadas. My husband ordered the "Shaggy" arepa - and that did not disappoint either. For dessert, I ordered the apple pie empanadas and the churros con chocolate. The order was ready in 10 minutes and the place was neat and clean. read more
