Paparepas Venezuelan Food (Capitol Hill)

Amazing shredded beef and the fried plantains are the best I’ve had in all of Seattle. I got the pabellon bowl and the serving was a huge amount of food. Great value for the money spent here 👍

Went for arepas, stayed for arepas! Absolutely delicious! And I love that they do not blast loud music, just nice calm tunes, lovely!

I really enjoyed my meal, it was seasoned well and tasted authentic, the fried plantains were delicious and the person who took my order was friendly. Very glad I walked near this place while looking for somewhere to eat my first day visiting.

The first time I tried food from this restaurant was when they came to my condo with a food truck. After the first bite in my arepas, I literally had to google them to see where I could find more of these delicious food. I highly recommend!!!!

I ordered a number 7 but instead of beef got the vegan option (because I love impossible meat, I’m not vegan 🫣😅) I wanted to try something new for lunch and it was so good. I would highly recommend adding the black beans to whatever you order and make sure you get all of the sauces and put them on your Arepas. 10/10!! I also got the Yucca fries but, personally, I was not a fan, they were kind of sweet and I just expected the opposite, but they were filling and nice if you like to eat large meals.

Delicious arepas. I liked the build your own option. The vegetarian option was delicious - great flavour, moist. Very generous with the cheese - thick slabs of mozzarella. Ordering was done via tablets. Choice between two different sauces to go with the arepa. I enjoyed the curry sauce, however found the package to be very small.

Yeah this place is amazing. Been here twice in the last 3 weeks as I miss my Venezuelan friend who introduced me to arepas. Really hope this place stays for a long place and even expands. Wish them nothing but success and Im gonna keep coming back.

We were excited to try Paparepas after reading the reviews but it kinda fell short. We ordered the chicken and cheese empanada, plantains, and the chicken arepa. There just wasn’t any flavor other than oil. The quality of the cheese seemed low. The plantains were really mushy and you couldn’t taste the plantain flavor anymore, (maybe they were suppose to be that way but they didn’t taste anything like when we would pan fry them at home as kids). The two stars is for the curry sauce that you could put on everything and for the guava juice.

Yo vivo en Miami y vine a Seattle a visitar a un amigo. No exagero que las empanadas de paparepas son las mejores que he probado en este país, incluyendo Miami que tiene comida venezolana en cada esquina. Recomiendo la empanada de pollo con queso y la de solo queso también, pero todas son deliciosas. Ya quiero volver para probar las arepas que se ven espectaculares. La atención y el servicio también es de 100. Recomendadísimo!

My first experience already has me & my family ready for the next experience, to be shared together! Paparepas (food truck) catered a festive celebratory occasion at My youngest's school. And the selections were plenty, filling and absolutely delicious. WOW!!! I am most grateful to have met the owners, who were so generous(I was offered extra food to take home, so unexpected, WOW!), kind and wonderful to talk to. I'm taking my family to one of their restaurant locations for sure, and we just may be lucky enough to visit a couple of their food truck locations. Worth it, GO!

Don't underestimate a single arepa. The pabellon was packed with juicy shredded beef, caramelized plaintains, beans, and cheese. A new favorite form of masa. The cilantro sauce and curry sauce were both delicious.

After walking around quite a bit in Seattle, I was excited to find something different than the typical to what I was seeing. When I walked in, the staff was very friendly! I ordered the pork arepa and unfortunately wasn't a fan. There was little to no seasoning in the meat and it was very greasy, even the bread was greasy. Arepas traditionally have so much flavor. I gave it three stars because my friend got the vegan arepa and loved it! It's wonderful when typically meat heavy cuisines offer tasty vegan options!

Updated review (3/15/24) I've had the Chicken & Cheese empanada, generously stuffed but my favorite empanada is definitely the beef one! It is SO GOOD!! (5/5 for beef empanada). The cheese and chicken empanada you have to wait to eat because it is extremely hot once you receive it (bc of the cheese lol) but it's pretty good with the cilantro sauce. The Arepa Pabellon is my absolute favorite. I went at least 3 times this month just to get it! This arepa comes with shredded beef, beans, mozzarella cheese, and plantains. Absolutely delicious! (5/5). I swear, I crave this like every week lol. Def check them out if you haven't already! Parking can get difficult to find. Other than that, i like that they take online orders and it tells you approximately when your order will be ready.

We catered lunch at my company and brought on the Paparepas food truck. So i got to try a few different dishes and i loved everything. They also have this spicy cilantro sauce which i loved. Highly recommend their food.

OK, I know absolutely nothing about Venezuelan food which is why we ended up here, but this was a great introduction. This is a food truck which is amongst our favorite ways to try new cuisine. We knew about empanadas of course but had never tried the euphoric repas before but they were delicious. A nice light bread with marinated chicken was just great. The plantain chips were great too. As in all things, when you something give it a try and you'll be surprised :-)

Quick, delicious fix perfect for lunch. The rice is so flavorful and meat is moist and seasoned well.

This arepa was $13+ which is a little crazy honestly. That being said this was a very scrumptious meal! It's pretty small too which was also very disappointing. This is my first time trying an arepa so I didn't know what to expect. It came out piping hot and I really liked the corn-based wrap!

First time trying Venezuelan foods and it was delicious! Sad that we could not try the yuca frita because they had run out by the time we came. Spacious, clean interior with a good amount of seatings. You order food via a kiosk and get your foods in to-go containers--quick, clean, and easy. I got the pabellon criollo and my boyfriend the beef arepa. Both the shredded beef in my bowl and the arepa were very tender and flavorful. The taste was amplified further with the sauces they provided: cilantro, spicy cilantro, and curry. I thought I would like curry the most, but I actually found it overpowering the flavors of everything else. I have the OR26A gene and hate the taste and smell of fresh cilantro, but their cilantro sauces were a hit and went extremely well with the rest of the flavors. Fried plantains were surprisingly delicious. The dough of the arepa was soft and had a good taste of corn. Overall a very satisfying meal, I highly recommend this place!

Paparepas looked interesting - Venezuelan food with an appealing menu. Sadly, our experience with their empanadas was one of heavy greasy fried corn-dough, with a fillings that were both small and not that interesting. Most of the flavor was of the fried dough - and of the cilantro sauce packets. We got a beef, a chicken & cheese, and a chicken empanadas. The cilantro sauces were packaged but pretty good -- but they couldn't overcome the heavy grease dough which drowned everything else out -- talk about a gut-bomb! And then there are the bizarre parts of things -- the ordering is via video screen, with no human interaction. The guy who came to the counter was friendly, but basically just pointed us to the ordering screen. We would have asked for his recommendation, but clearly he just wanted us to read about the food and order using the automated process. The restaurant was clean, but rather sterile in decor (sort if a grey laminated fake-wood kind of vibe). All-in-all, I found it both impersonal and unappealing. But the real problem was the food -- twenty minutes later, you could feel this heavy mass in your stomach, and wish you hadn't eaten it.

Ordered the chicken, rice, black bean and plantain bowl. First of all....the chicken is so chewy and gross. They said it is chicken breast but there is no way. $17 for bowl and honestly, I am throwing it out. Plantains ok, rice and beans, basic but chicken literally is un-eatable.

Stopped for lunch at this food truck on the way home from a meeting and was pleasantly surprised how great it was! Portion didn't look great in the bowl with the lid on but once you start eating it's obvious they give a generous portion of meat and it is just compacted into the bowl for transport home. The pabellon was fantastic. I've never had this dish with cheese and wish I'd asked for light cheese since the amount of it was a bit much but it also added something new to a dish I thought I'd already been familiar with! The cilantro sauce was great but next time I'll go for the spicy version. Plantains we're perfectly cooked, carmelized on the outside without being overly mushy or undercooked inside. Staff was also very kind and I loved the convenience of using a self order iPad so I didn't feel pressed while making a decision what to order.

Stopped by this shop on my trip to Seattle for a snack before dinner! My boyfriend and I shared the beef arepa and chicken and cheese empanada. Both were so so so good! The sauces they offered were Cilantro, Spicy cilantro, and curry. The sauces were amazing as well. The sauce packets do need to be refrigerated or I would've taken some home! The beef was tender, flavorful, and there was a good amount inside the arepa. The cheese inside the empanadas was nice and melted. The dough for the empanadas was a nice texture as well! Highly recommend this place for a snack or meal! There was barely anyone at the store when we were here which surprised me because the food here is so good. The service is nice and there is seating and a bathroom as well!

FAVORITE takeout spot! We always get the vegan arepas, plantains, yuca fries, rice and beans, and churros absolutely delicious flavors and the quality of the food is great. Comes with a delicious cilantro sauce that is perfect for the yuca fries.

was super hungry and out of options for dinner one night. i was between the chicken and cheese arepa and the pabellon and went with the latter. OMG. so delicious. i'm not typically a beef person but this was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. no gross textures or anything. paired with the yummy beans, platanos, and cheese it was one satisfying meal!! i'm excited to order again and try more of their menu. also the cilantro sauce bag-- YUM

Stuffed with a huge amount of meet and the sauce for the arepas tastes really good! Love the yuca fries and different types of plantains

Located in Capitol Hill, this place serves some nice arepas and empanadas. There are a few Venezuelan places in the Seattle area, most of which are a takeout / fast casual type of setting. Here, I got the Arepa Pabellon which has beef, black beans, cheese, and plantains, quite a hearty combination. I was able to choose 1 of each of the cilantro, spicy cilantro, and curry sauce, all of which are in packet form. The arepa was a little bit on the drier side, so getting a total of 3 sauce packets was the move. I personally liked the spicy cilantro the most, followed by the regular cilantro then the curry sauce. All of them were good, though. The beef also felt a little dry but flavorful, but the cheese and plantains carried forward the quality of the arepa. The food did take a little bit of time to come, probably because they were made fresh to order. Another issue I had was the tray was fairly dirty underneath, so the sanitation of the tray is a bit questionable. Aside from the misses, this is a fairly underrated restaurant for a location that gets so much foot traffic.

The tropical rice was the best part of this bowl for me. The beef was also very tender and flavorful. I was a little confused because the menu said there was white cheese but I received cheddar in my bowl. Overall, I really enjoyed my bowl, get the spicy cilantro sauce, it is legitimately so so good. Service is fairly quick!

My friends and I went to Paparepas for lunch and it was delightful. Their empanadas, filled with succulent beef and chicken, are a highlight, bursting with savory goodness. The arepas are equally impressive, with a perfect balance of crispness on the outside and softness within, making each bite utterly satisfying. But the star of the show? The churros. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and generously dusted with cinnamon sugar, they are simply irresistible. With a cozy atmosphere and speedy service, Paparepas provides a great meal for a reasonable price that left us feeling full and satisfied. I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends!

Simply delicious. I was compelled to write a review immediately after enjoying a beef arepa. Incredible value, compelling flavor. This is my first time trying Venezuelan food, it certainly won't be my last. Don't second guess. Don't look in the rear view mirror. Try it. You won't regret it.

Alright everyone, listen up! We came to try Paparepas here in Seattle. We were a little hesitant to try this place since there were no people. But this is a little gem that brings a little multicultural life. I got the arepa with beef, and it was so juicy and delicious. The cheese melted and it was filling! My partner got pabellón, which had everything on it. Again, he states how juicy the beef was! Definitely the highlight. The yuca fries were also great, an alternative to French fries. The avocado dip gave it the "zing"! Finally, the empanadas were a nice side! But be careful with the cheese and chicken empanadas, cause it was fresh and hot! Please stop by and support this place! Well deserved and friendly staff!!

I got the arepas with beef, cheese, plantains, and beans and it was filling and yummy. warm cheesy meaty and sweet. The combo is a good deal if you want to get a drink and try a tequenos which is like a fried breaded cheese stick -- the cheese inside wasn't very melty tho. wish they gave more sauce packets tho cuz i ran out v fast. we ordered on a kiosk a good experience for a cuisine i don't usually try.

Tonight, we had Paparepas from the food truck - specifically the chicken bowl and the vegan arepa. Both were outstanding and the service was excellent. The surprise hit of the evening was rice. OMG the rice!!!

I got the Beef Arepa. To confirm, all of the sauces paired great with this but My favorite was the spicy cilantro. Establishment was clean as well as the Bathroom.

Clean, no frills, street food. Nice lil pictures of Venezuela. You order through a kiosk and sit where you like, then you bus your own table. I imagine it gets pretty tuned up late night when the bars let out. My partner and I both got an empanada and a drink as that was probably the most affordable option, but it also ended up being plenty of food for us both. This empanada is made of a fluffy corn arepa-like mix, so it's not like some of the other empanadas I've had. But they come out light, fluffy and golden delicious. They also make their own sauce, if you are an apparent weakling like me you will definitely need your own swiss army knife to cut the packets open. But it is worth that extra effort because their cilantro sauces are /delicious/ and complement the empanada really well. Overall I found it to be hot, tasty South American street food!

My boyfriend and I used to come in here regularly we love the food. I've been coming here by myself for a few years. That's until we experienced racism from one of the young workers today, she looks about 16, short and her name is Elena. We had just paid for our food, I was sitting down and my boyfriend asked to use the bathroom. The young worker raised her voice and said "You cannot use the bathroom. It's not a public restroom". She used a tone that screamed prejudice, acting as if my boyfriend was a mentally unstable homeless person. My boyfriend is half black, half Mexican. When we had held eye contact with her before and after we took our order. Then my boyfriend proceeded to remind her he is a customer and she watched him order and pay for his food. As well as asking her if it was because he was black and telling her we wanted a refund. She told us she "Couldn't do that and she said sorry" with her hand on her hip. In no way was she apologetic. When I went back inside to get her name she didn't even realize I was his girlfriend because I am white. Then she talked over me while I told her how we live in one of the most diverse places and what is she doing bringing racism into her workplace, and in Capitol Hill ?! The other worker stayed quiet as I told her about herself because he knew what she had done. She smiled and laughed as I told her to leave her racism at home and think before she speaks.I am disgusted, I will never give this business my money again and I will spread the word of it being a racist establishment. I would recommend people of color especially people with darker toned skin to stay clear of this place.

Purposely didn't make or bring lunch to order food haha. I was originally going to get a burrito from another truck but I'm so glad I decided to try an arepa. I ordered online and just ran across the street for pick up. Super fast and convenient. It reminded me a lot of a pita sandwich but the arepa was so fluffy. My coworker told me to order the beef one and I thought I did but I ended up ordering the original one with braised beef, black beans, and plantains. Really good flavor, it looks very small but it was definitely filling. Will have to try other things on the menu soon!!!

Stopped by for a quick snack before attending a block party. Solid, unique fast-food style Venezuelan food! I tried a few of the empanadas ($5.99 each). They were different than any kind I've ever had! Think a fried crispy, slightly sweet corn dough stuffed with filling. SO good - just a bit greasy. Fillings were really tasty. Also got a side of Maduros ($5, sweet plantains). Our friend got an Papabowl (toppings on rice, $12.99) which also looked tasty. The sauces are pretty good, I'd recommend the cilantro or spicy cilantro. Love the little kiosks you can order at for simplicity. Grab a number and they bring food out to you.

We hit this food truck because we were in the mood for something different and the Paparepa character sucked us right in. Logo and packaging =10/10! The food was solid. I actually prefer a thinner more flaky wrapper to my empanada but these were still really nice, very filling, and full of flavor. I preferred the beef over the chicken and cheese but they were both good! Definitely worth checking out if this truck is in your area.

This place is great!! The staff is absolutely lovely. I've gone back three days in a row to explore the menu since they've opened so I guess you could say we are on a first name basis now. The yuca fries really hit the spot. Perfect chewy texture. Out of all the empanadas I've tried I would highly recommend the chicken and cheese. It's just a perfect combo. The beef and chicken empanadas can be on the drier side. BUT the dough is probably my favorite part. It's just done so well and retains moisture long after cooking. The cheese one is a little too cheesy for me and empanadas just work best with a meat type filling IMO. I also love their house made cilantro sauce. It truly elevates the food. I'm very excited to try the other things on their menu and have had nothing but a good experience here thus far.

A new spot for Venezuelan eats located right along Broadway in Cap Hill -- they serve up delicious arepas and other eats. The staff is really sweet and there's an ordering counter or self-serve tablets along the wall -- portions are generous and they have lots of sauces to go with the food as well! I got the Arepas Domino and Yuca Fries -- I loved that there were vegetarian options. The Yuca Fries were a personal favorite and had a light, airy texture. They tasted delicious with the cilantro sauce. The food was tasty and I'll totally be back for more!

Located on a more remote street on Seattle's bustling Capitol Hill, Paparepas Venezuelan Food is an unassuming restaurant serving Venezuelan comfort food such as arepas, empanadas, and other deep-fried fare. My party of six stopped in on a Monday at around noon, and there was no one else in the restaurant. The interior of the space is sparsely decorated but spacious, and well-air-conditioned on a hot summer day! You order through one of two kiosks located near the front counter. Ordering is quick and easy, and most dishes have different options (e.g. meat, cheese, etc.) that you can choose from, as well as modifications you can make. I had wanted something with vegetables in it, so I asked if they could make my Arepabowl with salad as a topping (since it's listed on the menu), but they told me that salad was no longer offered, and that the menu was years old and hadn't been updated in a long time. One of my friends had also wanted to try their Yuca Fries, which were listed on the menu, but they were "already out" - not a great start. I ended up ordering an Arepabowl ($11.49), which comes with sliced pieces of arepa (a traditional Venezuelan cornmeal cakes), and for my two toppings, I chose chicken breast and sweet plantains. The arepas were nice and crispy with a soft interior, but the chicken breast came in a really creamy white sauce that I wasn't a fan of, since it made the dish really heavy. The plantains were tender and sweet, and you could tell that they didn't use too much oil - just a light crisp around the edges. The portion wasn't very big for the price, which I noticed with the other dishes my friends ordered as well. One nice thing is that they have three sauce options: Cilantro, Spicy Cilantro, and Curry. The first two are creamy cilantro vinagrette-style sauces which add a nice punch to the very rich menu, and the Curry sauce tastes like curry powder and mayonnaise mixed together - not my favorite, but some might enjoy it. Other people in my party ordered a variety of dishes, such as their Pork Arepa ($11.49), which is an arepa stuffed with pork and cheddar cheese - she said the pork was tender but the lack of vegetables or anything lending a crunchy texture was a little disappointing. Another friend ordered a Papa Combo with Arepa ($18.49), which looked like it was going to be a better value, with an Arepa, Cheese Tequeños (almost like a mozzarella stick in a pastry), and a beverage, but he didn't think it was worth it. Someone in my party also ordered the Guava Juice ($4.99), saying it was light and refreshing, but overpriced and a bit too sweet. Finally, we tried an Beef Empanada ($5.99), which was a good price, but the outside was bland and the beef wasn't the best. Overall, I think that this would be a great late-night spot for greasy bar-style deep-fried food, but I felt that it was a little overpriced, and the lack of any more health-conscious items knocked this place down a bit for me. Next time, I'd just get the Sweet Plantains and a single Arepa for a better deal, since those were the best foods I tried here. Not a bad place for Venezuelan food, but I wouldn't go out of your way to eat here!

Very good food! Don't sleep on their cilantro sauce, it's very flavorful and went well with the beef arepa. Customer service is great and the restaurant is large and clean. You can order on the kiosks which is convenient for introverts.

Paparepas serves piping hot authentic Venezuelan cuisine just around the corner. Paparepas has been around since 2018, and the Carrero family started it to serve a niche that wasn't truly being fulfilled. If you're hungry, come to check out Paparepas, they serve a wide selection of traditional arepas, empanadas, tequeños, and more (also, some of their main dishes are vegan and gluten-free). Foods Tried - Pabellon Arepa - Vegan Arepa - Cheese Empanada - Yuca Frita My Review: Honestly, this place was pretty good! This was my first time trying an arepa, and I wasn't disappointed! At first glance, the deep-fried plantain and breading looked like just a lot of carbs, but it wasn't until you took the first bite that you realized how well it works with the beef, beans, and Monterrey cheese; the flavor profile and texture were scrumptious!

I had the chicken arepa and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. Definitely get the cilantro sauce. I only wish there was more sauce. I needed two packets. SO GOOD.

Really delicious food! I moved to cap hill from nyc and I've struggled with finding authentic Latino food in the neighborhood (besides some good Mexican spots). This place really delivered!! The rice was absolutely delicious- was well seasoned and had a hint of coconut. I got the BYO bowl with shredded beef, plantains, beans and rice. My friend got the pabellon and chicken and cheese empanada. We will definitely be ordering from here again!

I have been ordering from this restaurant since I first found out about them in January 2024. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is impeccable. I had an issue with my DoorDash Order, and they were able to call DoorDash in order to fix my problem. Someone else took my food... No one messes with my food lol. They were kind to my Driver (I was on the phone) and they were kind to me and explained the situation. I truly cannot express how service makes everything so much better...

Looking for lunch downtown and thought I would branch out and try something new. First time having Venezuelan food, so definitely can't vouch for how it compares to other places and authenticity. I ordered the beef arepa which comes with cheese and the yuca fries. Thought the flavor of the beef was good, albeit very juicy (with some excess underneath). It was also pretty cheesy, so their description of it being a Venezuelan cheeseburger was pretty accurate. The yuca fries were pretty good, though I would have liked some sort of sauce to dip them in. They do offer cilantro and curry sauce, which I wouldn't have felt would go super well with the fries and I wasn't offered any. Overall, a good and fast lunch spot.

My Colombian friend and I came here for a late weeknight dinner/snack. I had read about Paperepas in a Seattle Times article and so I knew I had to stop by and try it while in Capitol Hill. I ordered the Pabellon Criollo ($13) which had beef, rice, beans, plantains, and cheese. My friend ordered a side of the Yuca fries ($5ish). Paparepas has two virtual ordering kiosks; unfortunately one was broken and so we had to wait a little while for the working one. We waited about 20 minutes for our order to be called. They serve the food on trays and you pick them up at the counter. The Pabellon Criollo was a LOT smaller than expected; the menu and price made it appear bigger than actuality. Thankfully, I wasn't super hungry, but for $13, I expected much more. The bowl was supposed to have something called tropical rice, but the rice just tasted like plain white rice to me. The beef was okay, but nothing to rave home about and there was only a small scoop included. The beans tasted like they were just out of a can without any additional seasoning. The only redeeming quality of the dish (which my Columbian friend agreed) was the plantains- those were roasted to perfection! The yuca fries were also decent, but my Columbian friend said that they did not taste pure Yuca and might be a mix of yuca and potatoes. Both dishes came with sauce packets (cilantro, spicy cilantro, and one other sauce) but I can't say I really liked any of them other than maybe the spicy cilantro. They don't really serve you, other than call your order out. You have to grab your own food from the counter and also bus your table. The atmosphere is like eating at a fast food place. Nothing fancy by any means. Overall: 3/5 for food, 3/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

Pretty good food; terrible service. 1. Pork arepas-meh. The pork filling was a bit dry and bland, and the arepa was soft like a pita vs fried. You could tell it was fried from the look of it, but maybe it was sitting out a while, or left in the wrapper for too long, that it was no longer crispy. Also bland. Standard portion. 2. Chicken and cheese empanada-meh. Tasted generic and store bought. The filling wasn't bad, but like the pork arepas, the outside was also soft like it had been sitting out for a while. Normal sized portion. 3. Yuka fries-good, but the portion was on the smaller side. 4. Beef pabellon-good. Beef was tender and well seasoned, rice was well flavored, beans were tasty, as was the plantains. Small-ish portion. 5. Sauces (cilantro, spicy cilantro, and curry) were all pretty good that come in individual sauce packets. Food came out minutes after we ordered. Definitely not made to order as advertised, as both the arepa and empanada lacked the crisp outer crust. Service was stupid and awful. This is a place where you self order the food from a device first, prompted to enter in a tip, pay, then they call out your name to pick up the food that's in disposable containers, which you then later bus yourself. You can order take out or dine in. The place has lots of tables. When the three of us went to pick up the food from the counter, we asked the heavy set male for three waters. He brings out one water that's room temp. I ask if we could have two more waters, he rolls his eyes, walks away, and brings back only one water that is now warm. I tell him there are three of us, and we'd like a water for each of us, and he turns around frustrated, rolls his eyes, says something under his breath, and brings back a water that is now hot. Maybe he got frustrated having to walk back and forth, but he did see three people standing in front of him, and we did ask for three waters. Not sure how asking for water is an issue. It is a restaurant, right? If the policy is they don't have water, and you have to buy their bottled water, use your words and say something. Disappointing as half the dishes we tried were pretty good. However, I will not be dining here again. Not going to pay for terrible service. And they were not busy when we went. Besides us, there was only 2 other people in the restaurant-one that just ordered, and one person already eating.

I absolutely loved this place! It's reasonably priced, and it is a fantastic treat for your palate! The tequenos are the Venezuelan version of mozzarella sticks, and deliver a great flavor kick! I've also tried the beef empanadas, which are superbly complemented by the flavor of the spicy cilantro sauce. All in all, this place is a winner, I'm looking forward to trying other options soon.

I was really excited to try this place because Seattle definitely lacks good Latin food. The place is small but they make the food quick. You order at a little kiosk which is nice, and then the members will bring the food out to you. I got the tequenos, empanada con pollo, pabellón bowl, and tostones with pork. Everything tasted pretty good. The tequenos are a bit smaller than I thought they would be. Overall, it's pretty good given that fact that there's not really much like it around!

Friendly staff and generous protein portions! I really enjoyed this new spot and will definitely be coming back.

Quick service. The food was still hot after walking home. The empanadas were a bit greasy but had a good flavor. Only downside is the business trend to order from a kiosk and not be able to talk to someone for recommendations. Will go back.

The arepas here are amazing! I've had the beef and pork and was super impressed by just how good both options are. The meat is just so flavorful you could eat it by itself, but in an arepa it's heavenly. My vegetarian daughter had the vegan arepa and she really liked it as well Another star of our visit was the Yucca fries, they came out hot and crispy. They're like potato fries, but different enough to really stand out if you've never tried them before. We dipped them in the Spicy Cilantro sauce, which is another high point. We bought a bottle to take home. Last time I brought home a couple of left over packets and had it with chicken nuggets and on sandwiches and it's just really great stuff

My wife and I were walking about Capitol Hill today (4/4/2023) and we saw a sign for Venezuelan food. We thought we would give it a try and we were very glad we did. She had a Chicken Arepa and I had the Beef Arepa. Now, what's an arepa? It is basically a sandwich wrap - meat and cheese in our cases - served piping hot. They are large enough for any appetite (and a tad too large for my wife, who was unable to finish) and delicious. We also had the Yucca Fries, which are similar to French Fries but softer and, for my taste, tastier. There are multiple sauce choices, so take your pick. There are plenty of menu options, we will be back to sample some other choices. Great place and, I admit, I love that neighborhood. It is close to Cal Anderson Park, right in the middle of this thriving area of Seattle.

Yum!! First time having their food, went to the food truck at Beverly in Everett. I hot the beef empanada which was absolutely delicious and the bowl with chicken and the cilantro sauce. So worth ever calorie!

We walked in one staff person looked at us from the kitchen and she turned away. The second staffer (a man) walked out of the kitchen with a to-go order placed it in the counter and walked back to the kitchen. Neither acknowledged us in any way. We waited to see if they were coming out to no a avail. We walked out and took our business elsewhere.
