We got a vegan 2 arepa (yes, they have vegan and vegetarian ones) and a ham & cheese empanada and both were delicious! The music / vibe was great too, and the staff was very kind and helpful. We loved this place and would highly recommend!

Super casual spot where you order through a QR code and they bring everything to your table…read more The Blondie Arepa (8.5/10) was packed with shredded chicken and Gouda, with a crispy shell and great flavor. My only complaint is that all the filling was toward the front, so the end was basically just arepa. Still, it wasn't oily despite being fried. The Pabellon Empanada (9/10) was the standout. The crispy shell was perfect, and the combination of shredded beef, black beans, cheese, and sweet plantains worked so well together. The plantain added the perfect sweetness. Both were surprisingly light and not too greasy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving Venezuelan food.

It felt very cozy inside. The menu is decently sized and lots of options. I got the chicha to drink since I thought it was similar to an horchata. The consistency was more like a smoothie/shake but the flavor was good. Not sure if I would order again. The arepas we ordered were fire! They do not skimp on the arepa fillings. Very flavorful and filling. The dough of the empanada was really good! I would definitely come back!

I liked Bienmesabe years ago when I first went here and have been here a few times since, although…read morethere's been a gap between my most recent visit and the one before that. I'm happy to report that when I went recently, we still really enjoyed it. It was my boyfriend's first time and he is now a fan and we both recommended it to our friend who lives in the area. You can also make reservations if you'd like although the times I've been, walking in is also fine. Last time we got the Bienmesabe Sampler, which is enough appetizers to share with four people lol. Our ranking of the items in the sampler were the tostones (soooo good), tequeño (my boyfriend loved), mandioca, and then the empanadas. The empanadas are my least favorite - I'd prob see if I could sub it out for something else in the future. I do like that they provide an assortment of empanadas. Then we got a cachapa with chicken - the cachapa itself was so good although next time we would try a different protein. Lots of delicious cheeses to be found - lactose-intolerant people should prepare accordingly.

It was so nice to have so many options! The servers were very nice and although we had a reservation, we probably didn't need one. I tried the passion fruit drink - yummm! It was very refreshing on a hot day. I also got the vegan patacones, which here is almost like a sandwich (like a jibarito) and it was SO good. The portion sizes are huge and all the food came out fairly quick. I'll definitely be coming here more often!

Current obsession... arepas! We went to Top Arepa today and ordered to-go. The restaurant is…read morespacious and playing great music. Ambience is fun, clean, and friendly. The cashier was bilingual and offered to take our order but we opted for the user-friendly kiosk. The open kitchen layout lets us see the cooks and the fresh ingredients being put together! We got some arepas that were marked as favorites: Pabellón, and Llanera, some extra Top Green Sauce, and Tamarind juice. The Pabellón has sweet plantain in it. DELICIOUS BALANCE of sweet and savory. Everything was hot and the arepa was stuffed to nearly bursting. We got this one fried with the white cheese. Llarena had picaña and avocado. We got this one grilled but I would highly recommend getting them fried instead. The avocado was perfectly ripe and the picaña.. girl I would eat that with a fork by itself. Flavorful and juicy 10/10. Tamarindo Juice was yummy, I added ice at home. Each arepa comes with green sauce but I say get an extra cos you're gonna want the flavor boost! I plan to come back and taste a burger or anything else on their extensive menu!

I particularly love the perros calientes, empanadas, arroz chino, and las mantecadas. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making sure everyone feels at home.

We'll definitely be coming back!

We took her recommendations, and we did not regret it. These arepas are overflowing with great flavors, and the meat melts in your mouth. I would revisit when in the area.
