Really delicious. I did the 3 popular arepa sliders, breakfast arepas, tequenos, and Venezuelan empenadas. The jerk chicken arepa and cheese and banana empanadas were so good. Overall everything we had was great.

This small arepa café in St. Pete is amazing. The arepas are authentic just like what you will find in South America…particularly Venezuela and Colombia. This family owned place has a very friendly atmosphere. They are very accommodating. I highly recommend grabbing a an arepa here!

A small place with big flavors. Venezuelan cafe with arepas, tacos, bowls, etc. Featuring ample portions of savory meats, beans, veggies, and excellent sauces. My #11 arepa was excellent. The same for my wife’s tropical bowl with pulled pork, rice, black beans, and plantains.

Some of the best arepas I have had outside of South America. A nice variety of traditional and international twists. Everything is made to order fresh, but the service is fast.

Look no further for delicious arepas in the St. Pete area. I will preface that being Colombian my standards for arepas are pretty high. Ordered the #1 and was impressed by the generous portion of carne as well as the structural integrity of the arepa. Everyone in my party agreed all the food was fresh and delicious including the cafe con leche, which I ordered iced. Great service! Come support this family run small business.

Family ran business with the best Venezuelan and empanadas I have ever tasted! It’s a popular take out place, there were a lot of people picking up orders while we ate our food. Limited seating inside but there are tables outside too. Parking was a bit tricky but there are a couple of spots on the side of the building.

Had a nice breakfast. Always wanted to try this place and finally had the chance. We got tequeños, empanadas, and arepas. The staff was very friendly and the place is very cute and cozy
