Arrived with a group, service was prompt and helpful, despite needing separate checks. All the food was delicious --tostones, arepas, and guava pie particularly.
First time coming to this restaurant! We liked the vibe of this restaurant and felt nice and clean even in the bathroom as well! We ordered vegetarian dishes; the vegetarian and the vegetarian arepas 🫓 they came in 10 mins and were delicious! Rich in flavors and if you’d like to put more seasonings you can do it additionally and you can also ask for hot creamy sauce for $0.75. Twas a good one but they’ll charge you for that so just keep it in mind. :) Overall, we had a good lunch over there! Good volume and they filled us up nicely! Keep up the good work! Cheers 🥂
So my childhood friend and I had lunch at this place she had eaten here before and had a taste for Yuka.🤔 Ok for those that don't know Yuka is a type of fried potato🤯 So ya girl didn't know what it tasted like so we asked the manager if he could cook some so I could tate it, and so he did 😋 and he explained some of the favorite dishes that were popular such a great manager so thank you for your kindness and cooking the yuka for me Mr. Carlos🙏 So we ended up ordering and sharing the Parrillita.😋 Please don't ask me to pronounce it tho lol 🤣 we had it with the steak and chicken with the yuka at the bottom. It was Sooo Good and definitely a sharing plate😉 This is not the only great and surprising thing here it the bathroom, ya'll they done gone and pit a thing in their the dispenses a little cup and mouthwash to rinse your mouth out🤯 I was blown away from the food now this. A really good place must also be a favorite for the military and the police because some were leaving and we're there while we were eating. The place is decorated beautifully. I really love that they have family pictures on one wall🥰 Thank you to the staff, the waitresses and the male waiter!! Will definitely be back again 😇
I recently had the chance to try the Fire Beast Special at Arepitas in Harker Heights, Texas, and it definitely left an impression. This was the chef’s special for the day, and you could tell right away that it was put together with care and attention to detail. One thing that stood out immediately was the packaging. The bag it came in was sturdy and well-organized, keeping everything together without anything spilling or getting messy. It might seem like a small detail, but it made the whole experience feel more put-together and convenient, especially if you’re taking it to go. As for the food itself, the steak was the highlight. It was cooked really well—tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. Every bite had a nice balance of flavor without being overwhelming, and you could tell it was fresh. The combination of ingredients in the Fire Beast Special worked well together, making it a satisfying and filling meal. Overall, it was a great experience. Between the thoughtful packaging and the quality of the steak, the Fire Beast Special felt like a solid choice for anyone wanting something flavorful and well-prepared. I’d definitely go back to try more from their menu.I’m
We there for mother's day. Had the best meal and server Jiovanni. This was my husband's first time here and my second. We will be back. Jiovanni made me the best drink. I wanted something sweet and something I hadn't had before, he did not disappoint. Again if you haven't been there you must give it a try. Everyone in the building are so nice.
I had the Llanera and the Cachapa Blonde and omg the Llanera was filling, savory and juicy. Definitely ask for sweet plantains on it it goes so well on it and the black beans add an earth taste that just expands it. This was my first time eatting it and I kind of upset I could fit another one in my stomach. Now the Cachapa Blonde it is sweet the pancake part of it is sweet while the chicken part is savory. It was incredible. I will be coming back this is my favorite spot now. The people there are very nice and helpful very friendly and open, I felt welcomed and when I walked into the restaurant, I was also welcomed in! MUST TRY!
Not originally from the area, but we came tonight a little closer to closing than we would have liked to (but we were not treated any differently for that). This restaurant came as recommended from family. Great decision! The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding! Tonight our server Joanie took care of us and I'm happy we came. The restaurant offers many unique flavors from Venezuela (of which I've never tried). There is probably something for everyone there. Thank you so much for the exceptional service, I will look forward to coming back soon!
A wonderful experience. My shop went here to celebrate one of my soldier's success at the board and I didn't know what to expect. What I discovered was an overall wonderful experience. Our server was friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place and I look forward to returning to try something new.
My husband and I I had a wonderful meal here. Our waitress Amaya brings our food and says, “are you ready to taste the best food of your life?” How’s that for confidence in what they prepare? That seemed to set the stage for a dang good meal. Her service was great, the food was fresh and authentic, and it was 40% off of drinks for happy hour. It was a win-win-win situation. We will definitely be back.
As someone who travels for work, it can be difficult to find a spot that truly has it all, unique and flavorful food, great service, and an enjoyable atmosphere. Well… if you enjoy Latin flavors made with fresh ingredients, Arepitas delivers on everything you could ask for! The food was incredible, the vibe was positive and welcoming, and the service made the experience even better. Giovani was amazing from start to finish, from his helpful food suggestions to the delicious mojitos he makes that are honestly worth stopping in for alone! I ordered the Parrillita Bowl and added a few extras and it was DELICIOUS! You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for their guests. I highly recommend anyone in the area to check this place out and enjoy everything it has to offer.
