I am currently training with an intense diet to follow but i decided to spend my last cheat day here and let me tell you they did not disappoint, they over exceeded. Kathy was excellent with her hospitality skills. She was very helpful giving me recommendations and explained key details and difference of each item. She has gained a loyal customer who will continuously stop by to have New Yorks best arepas. Well done.

Had the cachapa years ago sometime before COVID, and never had the chance to make it back to Cobble Hill to try the bowls I’ve had my eye on last time. Unfortunately, I had really high hopes which ended up falling short. I got the shredded chicken bowl and tequenos, which came to $30+ with small tip. The $18 bowl was very reminiscent of Chipotle with its large portion of lettuce and pico de gallo…. but overall portion/amount much smaller than Chipotle for $6 extra. Oddly, there was 2 tiny little slivers of plantain barely a teaspoon in size and maybe one small ice cream scoop sized portion of rice, which I found somewhat unusual and disappointing. Tequenos were tasty but for $10 and 5 small bite size pieces it felt overpriced. I received 1 green sauce. Would likely only return if no other options open

The Arepas are delicious! I would recommend eating it hot and fresh as it tends to get stale once it cools down. Highly recommend the Tajadas! + the staff are super friendly and very helpful. Ambience is laid back and the outdoor space is a great touch. Please note that there isn’t a restroom option.

Got the steak bowl and the bowl came with 6 pieces of steak and only three were cooked and didn’t have a pound of fat on it.

It’s unlikely you’ll find a Venezuelan restaurant that won’t suck. White Maize really sets the bar for GOOD LEGIT VENEZUELAN FOOD! No other place compares to this spot! Even if you are 1hr 15min away… GO EAT THERE! Or delivery, whatever, just eat the entire menu, it’s unbelievably delicious! Don’t miss out. Will eat here everyday of my life. It’s also important to note the entire staff is out of this world friendly and welcoming. EAT HERE!!!!

We were craving Cachapas and this was the first place that popped up. It was 10/10. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was cute, music was great, and the food was delicious. We also got an Arepa, the beef was juicy and cooked to perfection. Very happy with this find, will come back!!

The place is cute with its set up but they took 30 minutes to get 3 arepas out. They needed to be reminded about our order. We were the only people in place too. I understand having to fulfill online orders but you would think people in house would get taken care of first. The food was ok.

The Venezuelan arepa was delicious as well as the tequeños! The staff is always friendly, kind, and helpful. I have been their customer for a long time now and I can’t stop recommending this place to everyone.

These are must-have arepas in the area! The pabellón (beef, plantains, and cheese) is a favorite and love the táquenos (like mozzarella sticks). Haven’t had a bad arepa there!
