Arepa Grill Doraville

This hole in the wall family own spot is an absolute banger! Food was very delicious with good portions as well. I have never personally tried Venezuelan food before but I have opened up a whole list of opportunities after this. I will say that the only downfall of this place is the amount support they are getting for customers they should be much busier.

Took coworkers for dinner to try Venezuelan dishes. The food was great and the menu has a lot of variety to accommodate vegan and vegetarians as well

The food here is great! Choices range from things like appetizers, arepas with various fillings, cachapas, and Venezuelan style burgers to platters of grilled meats and other Venezuelan specialities. Everything we've ever tried here has been fantastic! The service is fast and the prices are fair. This restaurant is always busy and the atmosphere is kind of chaotic. It definitely leans towards "fast, casual" dining. This is not a place for a quiet, romantic dinner; but you will always get incredibly delicious food every time you come.

The food was good but honestly really cold. It took a while for all of it to come out, so I was finished with the empanada that was brought out first before the rest of it came out (ordered at the same time). Service could also improve, had to remind them 3 times about my drink. Salsa de ajo was the star of the show, definitely try that if you come. Overall not bad for the experience but I probably wouldn’t come back.

I've loved this place for 2 years now! Thank yall for being so hospitable, and nice. The people here are welcoming and the food is SO GOOD. HALLELUYAH. I'm so glad anytime I pass spaghetti junction because I know exactly where I'm going! Areppa Grill 😋😋😋🥲🥰

So much better than the decor suggests. This is hidden in a little run down strip mall on Buford highway. The inside looks like a fast food restaurant where the colors are a little too bold, the decor is utilitarian in the surfaces look like they're easy to clean rather than decorative. There's a counter with a big display menu, like a cheap fast food restaurant. It is so misleading. I had a meal called Mini Picanha Churrasco. I got it with the side of coleslaw, yucca fries and paid extra for some arepas. I'm pretty picky about my coleslaw and this was a good flavor but I prefer it less soupy. Additionally, the yucca fries were, well, yucca fries and nothing incredibly remarkable about that. The steak was unexpectedly good. Probably the most delicious $20 steak meal that I can think of. It was tender, medium rare and char-grilled. It came with some chimichurri sauce and sour cream. The arepas were also unexpectedly great. First of all they're dairy-free and gluten-free. They have a lightly crispy outside and a moist spongy inside that breathes a little steam when bit into them. Here's a couple of tips. First, you can take your food to the tea room next door where it is a much nicer dining experience. They ask that you support them too. They have great tea. Second, it takes about 15 minutes to make the arepas, so you need a little time to eat here. I did not have any trouble putting together a delicious meal without dairy, gluten, or nuts. The gals at the counter didn't understand much English but were really helpful. They pointed out that the sauces on the table were mayonnaise-based and without dairy. My experience was a nice surprise in many ways. It's not the place for a first date, but it's a fun place to go anytime after the third date.

Disclaimer: I'm vegetarian🥑 I've gone here multiple times and the food is always delicious! I've tried various arepas, tostones, and tequeños. The parchita and chicha are great too! My go-to is the arepa green veggie🤤 One thing to note: I ordered the tequeyoyos for takeout one time, which only had cheese and plantain in the description on the menu, but they actually have ham in them as well. The restaurant gets pretty busy on any given night, especially on the weekends, but as long as you're willing to wait, you won't be disappointed! The staff is polite and friendly as well - never had a negative experience.

Meat was great, other stuff not so much. The place is cozy but when busy can feel a bit cramped. Overall pretty good though, will probably return.

Small shop very clean. Try the Patacon. It's better than the arepa if you don't want something heavy. It's kind of like a sandwitch except instead of bread it's between two fried flattened pieces of sweet plantains. Also you have to ask for the sweet ones or the non sweet plantains. Skip the mini arepas with cheese. It's just fried dough balls with crema and shredded cheese. It's like a deconstructed arepa kit. Try the Martin drink it's a lightly carbonated sugary drink. Reminds me of the flavor of honey. They have ample parking and a great assortment of sauces. It's in a convenient area next to alot of other shops

Amazing food! So delicious Had the Arepas tour and bisteck with onions, so delicious. Can't wait to go back.

My mother grew up in Venezuela and is VERY particular about her arepas. In fact, she will almost never buy an arepa from a restaurant because "they just aren't as good as when we make them". Not only does my mother enjoy the arepas from Arepa Grill, she will go out of her way to come and get the food here. It seems like they are doing something right here! This small Venezuelan eatery specializes in arepas, but serves up a lot more than that! They do burgers, soups and mixed grills, so there is a ton of variety. Whenever I visit, I always get the arepas. They are essentially corn cakes that can be filled with whatever you can think of! For me, I really enjoy an arepa that's filled to the brim with meat and cheese, and Arepa Grill delivers on that. Their arepa tour gives you an opportunity to try many different fillings. I think their Arepa Pabellon (shredded beef) is their best arepa. The meat is succulent and tender and packed with flavor. The black beans and plantain and cheese are a wonderful combo. The arepa itself isn't too starchy and fried to perfection. It's a great one. My mom's favorite is the Perico (scrambled eggs). It's what she grew up with, and hits home for her. Outside of their arepas, Arepa Grill makes some delicious empandas, and their cachapas are worth trying as well! A cachapa is a sweet corn pancake that is filled with cheese. They make traditional Venezuelan drinks that are fresh and tasty. Don't forget to use their sauces, those add a wonderful kick to your meal. I'm not longer living in Atlanta, but when I return with my family I'm sure we will end up back at Arepa Grill. Their food is delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant is lively and makes you want to come back. If you're close by, give it a try! My mother would certainly recommend that you do so!

Unbeatable prices for yummy food!! This place was pretty busy when I came for Friday dinner and I can see why. This is a very unassuming place for what appears to be great Venezuelan food. I got the Arepa Pabellón and it was fantastic! I should've taken pictures of the menu, but majority of the arepas are under $10 and are big enough to fill me up. I love that they provide you with a bunch of different sauces to try. This place has more hole in the wall vibes with its limited service, but I'd gladly come back here any day and try more things. Compared to another popular arepa place in town, I'd MUCH rather come here because of the prices. Inside seating is limited! Most tables are 2-4 seaters so not a place for a big group.

This fast casual restaurant is right off the main road and easy to get to. The shop has some cool decorations inside so don't be fooled by the outside. The food took a little while to make but was worth the wait. The arepas come in a few different varieties including meat and veggie options. I ordered one plus 2 cheese empanadas and it was filling. If you haven't ever had an Arepa, this is the place to try it!

I was not the target audience for this place. Wanted to try something culturally new but needed to accommodate my vegetarian / pescatarian lifestyle. I got a sandwich that had a huge lump of mozzarella cheese, avocado, and a few other ingredients. Apparently, it's supposed to be served like that because other people posted pictures of the same or similar sandwich prepared the same way. Overall, I didn't like it. The textures from the cheese and avocado was not vibing well together. But it was a huge size portion of this is your thing.

I enjoyed this place. I ordered 3 empanadas one of each, beef,chicken and cheese. I also got an arepa with the chicken and Gouda cheese. At first I thought it wasn't going to be good because the cheese wasn't melted but once you start eating the arepa the cheese begins to melt and it's so flavorful. It's a small restaurant and can get crowded but the food is delish! Theres also tons of parking and the service was quick even with them being busy.

Not too bad! Reina Pepiada: this is the taco looking things in the pic, it's chicken salad and avocados. It was okay yet had a linger of a fishy type taste. This is usually when oil has been repeatedly used to fry meat again and again - $7.99 - 2/5 Small and Medium grilled chicken burgers: french fries, Mayo, ketchup, mustard on the sandwich HOWEVER! I greatly advise to ask all sauces on the side because it was overflowing and overpowered by loads of mustard and ketchup where it was dripping all over :( - $6.99-$9.99 - 3/5 The sauces at the table are delicious I enjoyed them! The place was cool to visit but I think it satisfied my curiosity for time being! :)

I loved the food and the service was really good as well. Even though there was a long line we did have to wait too long to order or to get our food. But seeing how delicious the food was, I can definitely understand why it's such a busy place. Arepas may seem a little small but they are filling for sure plus they also leave room for dessert. They have fantastic churros here as well! Definitely stop in for some of this yummy food. We had a wonderful experience and we'll be back soon!

Came back today and it was even better! I got a Patacon w/ pabellon, a cachapa w/ ham and Venezuelan cheese, Tequeyoyo, and thin churros with Nutella, caramel, and condensed milk. I was full after eating half the patacon, and it was insanely delicious! The churros are addictive; I thought I'd have a bite since I was full and ended up eating 3 of them. I'm bring friends here. It's soooo good! The staff was friendly as always. It's counter service but they bring your food to you. I got takeout.

I enjoyed my visit to Arepa Grill's second location in the "Korean Town" strip mall on Buford Highway in Doraville. This location isn't to be confused with the original location, also on Buford Highway, inside Plaza Fiesta. As I wrote in my review for the original location ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/arepa-grill-atlanta?hrid=jWCHudkhcddbLNiEDsawzQ&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) ), Arepa Grill serves some of the best, most filling, and delicious arepas I've had anywhere. They also serve lots of other good Venezuelan food, not just arepas. This place is popular. It was packed the night of our visit, on an ordinary Wednesday. It was already busy when we arrived around 6:45pm. Luckily, we were able to snag a table. By the time we left, closer to 8:00pm, every table was taken, inside and out. It got a little uncomfortable when a family started waiting on us to leave so they could take our table. So, if it's busy, this may not be an ideal place to come for a leisurely meal. Arepa Grill is located next door to Cuckoo's Cafe and two doors down from Be Banh Mi (next to the old Yen Jing Chinese Restaurant). The space is kind of small, but not tiny. I guesstimate the dining room has seating for about 25 people. They also have a couple tables outside, covered, on the two-story strip's sidewalk patio. The original location, which opened in fall 2019, is a tiny stall adjacent to the Plaza Fiesta food court. This location, which opened in August 2021, has the same fun and modern theme with bright colors and large, bold graphics. With the walk-up counter and overall vibe, this place feels like an extension of its Plaza Fiesta counterpart. It's very casual, not a sit-down restaurant. Here's what we got: Arepas * Arepa Catira ($6.99) - corn flour dough, grilled, with shredded chicken and Gouda cheese * Arepa Domino ($6.99) - corn flour dough, grilled, with black beans and white cheese Burgers (not a burger, but in the "Burgers" section of menu) * Venezuelan Hot Dogs ($7.99) - two hot dogs topped with coleslaw corn salad, onions, potato sticks, white cheese, mayo, ketchup, mustard, and house sauces, served with French fries On the Grill * Mini Parrilla ($18.99) - 6 oz picanha, 6 oz grilled chicken breast, coleslaw salad, French fries, arepitas, cream, and house sauces Drinks * Parchita ($3.50) - passionfruit traditional drink * Chicha ($4.63) - Venezuelan sweet drink made from rice, milk, and cinnamon For each arepa, you have the option of grilled or fried. We went with grilled. Foodwise, I liked the food I had at the original location better than the food I had at this location. I ordered different items at the original location. However, I could also tell something was different overall between this location and the original. Of course, it could've been any number of things like a different chef/crew. What I'm getting at is, the consistency between the two locations was off based on my experiences (but not significantly). In general, Arepa Grill presents their food beautifully. It's something that helps to set them apart. I actually preferred the Venezuelan Hot Dogs to the Mini Parrilla, when I was expecting the opposite. I love hot dogs and these were well-made. The core hot dogs were standard. It was the toppings and how they were applied that made these dogs special. It was evident there was an extra level of care that was taken in how each dog was dressed. Good stuff. The Mini Parrilla wasn't bad, but I'm not sure I'd order it again. The presentation was nice. The food was served on a wooden cutting board. To me, the picanha steak (sirloin cap) was overcooked. I wasn't asked how I'd like it cooked. It came out well done. The chicken breast was fine. My favorite part of this dish was the arepitas (mini arepas). The slaw and pico de gallo were fresh and yummy. The Chicha drink was like an horchata, but much richer and thicker. I prefer horchata - it's easier to drink. From my visit to the original location, I recommend the Patacon fried plantain sandwich ($8.99) and the Cachapa corn pancake ($8.99-9.99). Tostones and empanadas are also on the menu. Note: There were a couple price differences between what was printed on the menus vs what I was actually charged. The menu showed the Venezuelan Hot Dogs at $6.99, but I was charged $7.99. The menu showed the Chicha at $4.99, but I was charged $4.63. Not a big deal, but discrepancies like this should be corrected. Like my experience at the original location, service could have been better. It might be staffing issues and the employees just being overwhelmed. Can't blame them for that. There was a language barrier between me and the cashier. She was nice, but had trouble understanding me. If the place wasn't so busy, I would've used Google to help me translate. Again, not a big deal. Mila E was the server name that was on my emailed receipt (Toast). TL;DR - Arepa Grill is popular for a reason. It's good.

First of all I will say that my scoring is entirely based on the food !! I thought the 2 arepas I got and the parrilla we ordered were absolutely amazing ! Lots of food and for a very good price, we couldn't finish it all and we were 4 !! Service was just ok. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I had the remind the waitress to bring me silverware but no big deal .... The ambience felt legit, just a small Venezuelan restaurant that was packed and where you had to wait a bit to find an open table .... If you don't like to wait or you want a guaranteed table then this may not be the place for you. With the quality of the food and the demand I saw I believe soon this place will move into a larger place ! At a minimum you should order for pick, you won't be disappointed .

The foods like and tastes AMAZING. The location is small and can get quite crowded. Definitely a well attended spot.

This is my first time having Venezuelan food, and possibly my last. I got the Arepa Flight, the cheese sticks, and Chicha. The Chicha wasn't bad - similar to a Horchata in flavor, but much thicker, like a milkshake. I get the impression that these items were all well prepared, and had good quality ingredients...but, even with the sauces that came with the meal (not too different from those you'd get at a Peruvian/pollo a la brasa place), there was a combination of WAY too much cheese and not enough flavor. I just wasn't impressed at all. Look, it's not bad, but I wouldn't say it's worth the calories, let alone the trip. I didn't finish what I ordered (other than the Chicha), and I won't be bringing it home. That says something. Side note: they were out of both tuna and coffee.

The churros were so good and the lechera on top was chefs kiss!!!! once I took a bite of that churro , it melted in my mouth!! Got me weak in the knees! I'd definitely would buy this again. I ordered arepa de perico. It's like Mexican huevos rancheros, it's so good and for the price it's worth it. The size of the arepa is good and full.

This spot has been on my list for awhile and I'm glad I finally tried them out! They menu consist of different arepas, burgers, and small bites. I got their Pabellón which has shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantains, and cheese. This was very yummy and filling. The price was pretty good. The service here is quick and friendly. I recommend this spot if you are looking for a quick meal. Enjoy ;) IH: Travelfoodie_ishy

The best place to try Arepa's in Atlanta! Small business, great food and decent prices! We got the Chicken Arepa, Veggie Arepa and Plantain stuffed with beans. The food took a while but it was fresh and delicious! You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table! Their sauces are a must try! They load up the sauce basket with different sauce and hand it over to you once you place the order at the counter. The sauce bottles do not have labels on them but the server was helpful in explaining. They got garlic, tartar, spicy, avacado lime. Shared parking with other business in the complex. Go check them out!

Please stick with the arepas and empanadas, those seem to have decent reviews. I got a criolla arepa to-go once and it was decent and flavorful (the steak was quite tough though), but the other things I ordered here were pretty disappointing. The bistec encebollado was just a piece of really thin tough steak that was covered in a really salty sauce that reminded me of bad chinese food. The rice side also tasted like it came from one of those Uncle Bens rice boxes. The burger was alright, a pretty standard burger with fried egg and bacon with some crunchy potato sticks added. The fries were crunchy and soft inside, my favorite part of our meal and they were fun to dip in the different sauces available. I should also mention that the women at the counter had poor english and would make faces when she didn't understand me. She also messed up on my order and gave me a salad and rice when I requested plantains as my side, and it was bad enough that I didn't want to go through the effort of communicating that to her to get it fixed. She seemed nice enough speaking to other people in their native language but we really struggled and it contributed to the overall experience being very lacking.

Food is delicious - so many things I want to try. It also comes out pretty quickly. The food doesn't all come out together so there's the awkwardness of waiting till everyone's food arrives or just eat in front of your starving friends. Place is small & busy on a Friday night- it was slightly uncomfortable as people just stand next to you waiting for you to leave so they can take your table. It's awesome that this place is so popular that ppl are willing to wait. I say definitely come - it's great casual food.

My boyfriend and I have been to both Arepa Grill locations and have thoroughly enjoyed them. He is from Venezuela, and we both love the food. Today, we came to this location. It is colorful and clean inside. We walked up to the counter and my boyfriend placed our orders. The girl at the counter had a nice smile and was very sweet to us. After ordering, we decided to sit at one of the outdoor tables. My boyfriend got me a Chicha drink to try since I had never had one before, and it was delicious! It tasted similar to a Mexican Horchata to me, but a lot thicker--like rice pudding in drink form! Heavenly! It took a while for the tequeños to come out, but they were hot and tasty. For our entrées, I got the Black Vegan Arepa (black beans, sweet plantains, and avocado) + added mano cheese. My boyfriend got the Green Veggie Arepa (avocado, plantain, and mani cheese) as well as the Red Vegan Arepa (avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion). Everything was so flavorful. I love all of the sauces they give you. My favorite is probably the garlic one, but I love mixing them all. My boyfriend always chooses the cilantro sauce. The only thing missing was a spicy sauce, but I'll try asking next time to see if they have one. We've also had their churros before, which hit the spot! This has become one of our favorite Venezuelan spots. Thank you for serving us! --Verdict-- Food: Tasty! Service: Polite and friendly! Ambiance: Casual and comfortable!

This place doesn't look like much on the outside but aren't those some of the best places?! They've got a WIDE variety of food to choose from and they've even got a while vegetarian section which is perfect for me! Their portions are pretty damn big for the price too! The service is very attentive and sweet. I've been twice and both times the older lady has been very polite and informative. Definitely a good spot to checkout!

I think this was okay in terms of taste/food. The arepas are not too bad but I have had better. The second time I came the lady recommended me something else that looked a bit like an omelette and it lacked flavor and did not taste all too good. Staff is friendly but communication can be a bit difficult depending on who.

I love this place! I frequent here a lot for the empanadas and arepas. There are so many options and it's so tasty. I really like the chicken and cheese empanadas because I can eat that any time if day and be satisfied. The staff is very friendly! You can call in a pick up order as well so when you get there your food will be ready. I highly recommend you go try it out and you won't be disappointed :)

Been coming here forever with my Venezuelan boyfriend, at least once a week. We usually love it here and he feels so welcome. However today we were charged $4.50 for Nata. Nata... sour cream. It's always just been given to us with our maduros but today Maria M clearly wasn't friendly and charged us for three sides of avocado as if that were the price of nata. I hope with that price, someone is back there milking a cow. She then had an attitude with my boyfriend when he asked about the price. We love the food, but there are equally as great Venezuelan places around Atlanta with amazing service. Maria M cost Arepa Grill a few regulars. Try Arepita Cafe, Cylantro's, Pepitazo y Zuarepa for great food and service! Buen provecho!!

I decided to try Arepa Grill for lunch and I am so glad I did! I ordered my food via telephone and planned to take it to go. When I arrived the shop wasn't packed and I wanted to taste all their different sauces with my food selection. My arepas were soooooooo good!!!! I dove right in and ate the arepa. I ordered an arepa and a burger but only had room for the arepa. My coworker ordered his first arepa ever and was blown away! The service was great and prompt. My only regret was eating everything so quickly and forgetting to take a picture of the deliciousness I experienced. I still dream of their arepas and can't wait to take a trip nearby so I can go again!

Tasty food here! Same shopping center as Cuckoo's Cafe. I had 2 arepas, the Catira (chicken and gouda cheese) and the Domino (black beans and cheese). I could only finish the Catira and it was really good! It was super filling, slightly greasy, and very cheesy. The crispness of the grilled arepa was a nice touch. I took a small bite of the Domino and it was very promising. I also had the passionfruit juice and it was delicious! Very refreshing. I will also say that around 8pm it started getting crowded. Maybe this is the late night spot to be? But they don't have alcohol based drinks so there's that lol.

Arepa Grill consistently delivers delicious Venezuelan cuisine. The meats are flavorful on their own, but adding a dab of the red and green sauces takes the experience to another level. It's always a satisfying dining experience!

Amazing food! The staff was friendly. The portion size was great too! Our group shared the parrilla mixta. It had a great sampling of various items: pork chop, grilled chicken, chorizo, coleslaw, arepitas (quarter to half) avocado, mano cheese, fried yuca and green plantains. This was def a good choice to try the various menu items. Not too bad of a value ($39.99) either with the proteins. The meat and cheese cachapas with grilled steak was great as it was highly recommended by a friend -- truly any cachapas would have done. We agree to its delectableness. It was a sizable little item, but flavorful. The owner came out and instructed us to pour some sauce on it then take a bite. Yeah. It's not efficient as he remarked, but I guess that's how it's meant to be enjoyed! The la rumbera arepa was massive. All that cheese oozing out!!! The roasted pork wasn't packed with flavors so the cheese helped. The portion was larger than expected so it will def fill you up. The cheese on this thing alone will make you full. Haha. The group also ordered one of the pataon. The plantains were huge! Though it was interesting, you've got to really like plantains or the texture will get to ya. The size was comparable to the aprea mentioned above. It was still good none the less. The chicha was interesting. It was somewhat like a thick horchata. It was different but in a good way. It wasn't as sweet as I expected though, sweet but not overwhelming.

In town for work, was looking for something delicious for dinner and I found it at Arepa! Ordered takeout, had a chicken empanada, chachapa and a steak arepa. A little variety to try a taste of everything. Well the empanada didn't even make it home, I tried one bite in the car and I devoured it before I got back to my hotel, incredibly delicious! The arepa was really good, very tender delicious steak, fried plantains and a ton of cheese, YUM! The chachapa was also delicious, sweet corn pancake deliciousness. They have all sorts of wonderful sauces, if you dine in you can build a six pack of sauce bottles and bring it to your table which is awesome! Helpful staff, easy to park and quick food preparation! I highly highly suggest!!!

I've never had arepas straight from Venezuela but came here after it was recommended from someone who has gone and eaten there before, and it did not disappoint! I got the four mini arepas to try multiple kinds and it was so filling and a great option for someone who is as indecisive as me. The cashier and workers were all so sweet and informative, I felt like I was shown so much hospitality for it being my first time and feeling a little intimidated by a menu I wasn't completely familiar with. Price was adequate in my opinion for my appetite level! Would recommend to my friends and family.

Arepa Grill is one of the best venezuelan places I have gone lately and I'm so happy because finally something that is close to me and doesn't close so early. The cachapas and the empanadas are amazing. They don't charge extra for the sauces when you dine in. The menu is * H U G E * and works for the 3 meals of the day. Definitely recommended.

Really crazy delicious food that goes heavy on the meats and sauces, in true Venezuelan style. Be sure to get a chicha to drink, and maybe one of their desserts - but be warned both the flan and the tres leches cakes are massive sugar bombs.

Ehh they are rude if you speak English.. and they never have what's on their menu.. . I've been in several times because of the gluten free options but they are not welcoming and bias to customers outside of their race. Crazy right

1st time here & definitely will be back! We tried the pork & the chicken arepas & one rogue cheeseburger. The arepas were super tasty! Very flavorful & tender meat. The sauces - YUM! the green one was my favorite.....perfect amount of zip to complement the richness of the meat & the melty gouda. We also tried the sugarcane drink - mixed reviews from my crew, but I liked it. The traditional churros were delish. perfect crispy outside & soft inside. Great little fast-casual spot for my arepa fix!

I exclusively come here for their churros. I love them. 10/10. Sometimes they may not be listed but ask for them-maybe even a side of dulce de leche.

Purely food based review: Arepa Tour (pick 4 arepas): - Pelua: Shredded Beef was really good with the cheese. - Reina Pepiada: Chicken salad with avocado was a good light pick. - La Rumbera: My favorite of the bunch, roasted pork was juicy. - Pabellon: better version of Pelua with black beans and sweet plantains. Chica: Traditional drink that's like a thicker version of horchata. Personally a bit too thick for my liking but flavor is really good. Dulce de leche churro: Awesome homemade churros that's shareable! Glad to see more authentic Venezuelan food come to OTP!

I tried calling in my order but no one would answer. I decided to go in and order. I was taken aback when I saw 4 women sitting and just laughing and talking. Mind y'all the store was empty except for one table being occupied. They proceeded to just stare at me as soon I walked in. No "welcome in" or "How can we help you?" I had to be the one to greet them and then they decided to get up. They were very stand-offish. My order took almost 20 minutes. I ordered the two hot dogs with fries and whenever it came out they let it sit on the counter so when I got it was cold :( . I'll give it another try but my first time here was not great

Came to try this place with a friend and so happy we did. They had such a huge and versatile menu. So many arepas and snacks to choose from. All the arepa flavors were delicious and will definitely need to come back to try the rest!

So, the cool thing about Arepa Grill is the versatility...you can get a snack-portion Arepa or a massive platter of yummy grilled meaty things...or a French onion soup. The interior is cute and cheerful and there is limited outdoor seating. The blackberry drink was a lovely change from standard soda. I will be back and the flan is definitely on my list...or maybe the sandwiches that are nestled between friend plantains...it all looks good and everything I've tasted was great.

Small but inviting atmosphere. Great food. Lots to choose from. Will definitely be back.

repeat customer. Their food is good especially when they're not too busy (they'll mess up the order sometimes). I love their tequeguavas!

Food was pretty good but wasn't happy with two things. There was a churrasco (sp?) dish on the menu board showing a few different types of meat on it. I asked what kind of meat it was and the person taking the order said I don't know. I asked what animal it was and again they didn't know. they said they don't speak English. You should at least know English to translate the menu to somebody or ask somebody to tell me what the answer was well it was steay and it was only one type of meat and it didn't look like the picture, but it was pretty good. then I was confused why the the total due was so much more. again, she didn't know so told somebody to tell me why it was and they didn't know English either and I saw on the check they charged me 16% tip. this is an order at the counter restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. There's no way I with a tipped 16% on this type of restaurant. I could call my credit card company and complain about it but haven't. just look at your receipt because you shouldn't be charged automatic tip for them bringing the food from the kitchen to the table.

AMAZING! Authentic Venezuelan food! The service, the food and the place is great! If you want real Venezuelan food, go here and get some Arepas!

Had heard of Arepa Grill here and there from some friends. Finally had some time Saturday afternoon to check it out. It had a fast-food vibe and seating was not hard to find indoors. Some outdoor seating as well in the form of metal tables and chairs. I ordered the Pabellón Arepa (shredded beef, black beans, fried plantains, & white cheese), fries, and a passion fruit drink. The Pabellón Arepa was so good! The meat was very tender and flavorful; the cheese wasn't too overwhelming and had a bit of chill to lesson order the steamy beef. The arepa shell was sweet with good hold and a tiny bit of crunch. Fries were standard, and drink was good; I should have asked for no ice. BUT THE SAUCES!! The sauces were amazing. I personally enjoyed the garlic sauce (white) and the green and spicy sauce. If you get take out, make sure to get some sauces. My friend got a delicious-looking pineapple hamburger and it was huge. I'll definitely have to come back and try it. Their dessert cake looked good too. Would come back again for this fast-casual Venezuelan spot.

Wow! What a great dining experience! Clean, fresh space with plenty of room to stay socially distant. The cashier/server was so nice and service was fantastic- even though she didn't speak much English and I could definitely improve on my Spanish we were able to communicate just fine. Portions were huge! Hubs got the Extra-large burger which was layers and layers of grilled meaty goodness. Came with a side of fries that were perfectly seasoned. I live that low-carb life, so I ordered the grill Parilla Mixta which includes ALL THE MEATS! Meant to be shared and HUGE portion - not bad for $40 because I'll be eating on it for several days. And the sauces - how could I forget! They have 6 or more that complement the meats perfectly! I loved the garlic sauce and the spicy green! We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

unfortunately, the service was absolutely horrible. the chicken salad arepa made both my friend and myself sick. she actually vomited. i didn't enjoy this experience at all. went on my lunch and went hungry the rest of the day. nothing i had was good to me. that's just my opinion.

We popped into the Arepa Grill one morning while we were on a walk and it was great! We were more interested to check out a new restaurant in our area and their menu, so we didn't order a ton this time. We talked with Valentina a bit about the menu and she gave us some good suggestions for what to try next time when we came with a healthier appetite. We cannot wait to try the cachapas and patacones which are unique to this location (this location has a larger menu than their other location in Plaza Fiesta). The last thing I'll point out before I dig into our food we ordered is that they do have a kids menu that includes chicken nuggets for those parents out there that want something unique and international but also have to satisfy a picky palette of a child (I'm sure you can guess that we have one such child). What we did order was the Chica which was amaaaaazzzzinnnggg. It's like a dessert and is large enough to share- the flavor is similar to horchata but thicker and heartier. If you're just looking for a sweet dessert spot, this would be perfect alongside their churros (they have "thin" churros which I'm very excited to try). We also ordered their beef empanada which was really good. I'm a little partial towards baked empanadas but it wasn't super heavy and super moist inside. It was especially good with the various sauces that are given out with the food. There was an avocado based sauce that was probably our favorite and also one that was orange that was a little spicy that we loved. We are so excited to have this spot so close to us and will definitely be back with our son.

This food is amazing!!! I love to try empanadas when I go out of town, so glad I chose here! My ham and Gouda cheese arepa is amazing! The taquenos are top tier and the empanadas are delish!! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!!

Large portions Fun casual atmosphere Friendly staff very patient explaining to me what the food was Great sandwiches planning on going back for one of the entrees
