"I appreciate Arepa Mia in Avondale Estates for its warm hospitality, bright, cheerful décor and quality-driven Venezuelan fare focused on grilled arepas filled with options like yucca- and plantain-flour-encrusted chicken or pernil with caramelized onions; I’d start with the hearts of palm and avocado salad, enjoy a fried chicken arepa with mango salsa and a guava-and-cheese empanada, and note that fresh juices and a full bar with strong rum selections round out the meal." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In Avondale Estates, Arepa Mia is a Venezuelan restaurant included on the MICHELIN Guide's inaugural American South Bib Gourmand list." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The friendly, counter-serve Venezuelan restaurant Arepa Mia, owned by Lis Hernandez, serves dishes using ingredients that are naturally gluten-free. Arepas, for instance, are made from cornmeal and stuffed with a variety of meats, cheeses, eggs, or vegetables. Try the empanadas or cachapas (Venezuelan sweet or savory pancakes)." - Eater Staff
