Venezuelan cafe serving gluten-free arepas & Latin snacks

























"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
"Arepa Mia in Avondale Estates understands what the people want. And that’s an arepa so giant it’s impossible to pick up, and so delicious you might contemplate ordering seconds before finishing your first." - Juli Horsford

"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
