    I had a wonderful afternoon at Arepa & Co, sharing a special event with my family. We attended a VR experience where we got to see our country, and both before and after the show we enjoyed some fantastic food and drinks. We started with a few cocktails, including a Diplomatico that was the perfect way to begin. The tequeños with sauce and the arepitas con nata were absolutely delicious. We then followed up with cachapas, empanaditas, and a refreshing passion fruit juice — all bursting with authentic, incredible flavors. Every dish was full of taste and felt like a true celebration of Venezuelan cuisine. The restaurant is always lively and busy, so I recommend booking a table in advance. While the service could be a little quicker, the staff are friendly and the food more than makes up for it. Overall, a fantastic experience that I’d highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy great food in a vibrant atmosphere.

    The food was great, it was definitely authentic and scrumptious. It wasn’t overpriced and it was definitely worth a try. I highly recommend the guava juice (the best guava juice i’ve ever tried), yuca fries which is sooo delicious i nearly asked for another one, and the texture of their rice is really great i would recommend anything with rice in it with this restaurant!!

    It was a wonderful dining experience! I had never tried Venezuelan food before, and since this restaurant was close to where I was staying, I decided to give it a try. As a foreigner, it was hard for me to imagine what the dishes would be just by looking at the menu. The server was incredibly friendly, patiently explaining the dishes to me and even recommending some of their specialties. What touched me most was that he didn’t just recommend the most expensive items. Instead, he suggested dishes that were both unique and suitable for me. When I wanted to order more, he even considered whether I, as a solo female guest, might not be able to finish everything, and explained the portion sizes to me. But I still wanted to try everything! So I ordered an arepa to take away. The arepa with banana was absolutely amazing, such a delightful surprise! The service was thoughtful and warm, and the staff’s attitude made the whole experience even better. This is truly a great restaurant! I will definitely recommend it to my friends!
