La Surena is the winning arepa here, chicken, chunky chorizo, and avocado slices, soooo good! Be sure to slather it in the spicy mango sauce on your table, then buy a bottle for $10 on your way out.
The 3 arepas to get: de pabellon (shreeded beef, sweet plantains, white cheese), la surena (chicken, chorizo, avocado), and la de pernil (roast pork shoulder, jalepenos, fried sweet plantains).
As good as ever. This should be your arepas spot. The La Del Gato should be on your list, avocado, salty cheese and plantains. So simple and so good, especially when slathered in their A+++ sauce.
Name all your favorite ingredients & then order 'la sureña' because they're all in there - chicken, chorizo, chimichurri, avocado! And if you don't lather in the homemade salsa, you're doing it wrong.
We shared 6 Arepas among 3 people, which was a good portion size. I enjoyed the variety of great tastes! Only minor issue was that sharing was not very convenient due to the form factor.
Caracas is the go-to destination for affordable arepas — Venezuelan pita pockets stuffed with meats, cheeses, and sauces. Guacamole, plantain chips, and fried bits of cheese make excellent starters.
For meat-lovers, get the La de Pernil. Vegetarian options also abound. Wash everything down with a glass (or more) of the super-refreshing Tinto de Verano.
Arepas are cheap and tasty. Arepa is one of the most traditional items on Venezuelan cuisine. Sanduiches filled with meet, cheese , beans, guacamole, banana. Entrees, Tajadas are delicious
For an App, go for the Yoyo's! For Arepas, the La Muchachos (A15) for meat lovers or La Mulata (A19) or Veggie lovers. Also, it is also about their special yellow sauce, I always buy a bottle for home
Try the De Pabellon Arepa and Pabellon Criollo. There is also a take out section with a few seats if you just can't wait at the regular restaurant. This place is totally worth the wait! Mehr erfahren
best arepas in town. Amazing authentic salty cheese. Very tiny restaurant, expect to bump into or accidentally kick the table next to you but the food is worth it!
Get several arepas to share, or eat your own, but whatever you do, make sure you get to eat the De Pabellon. Douse all of them in their house arepa sauce.
The yo-yo ($5.75) gets a sugary makeover. Sweet plantains are fried in a cinnamon-spiked plantain batter, then they’re stuffed with slightly chewy, fresh cheese and served with honey dipping sauce. Mehr erfahren

Don't expect run-of-the-mill black beans and rice; instead, diners at this packed spot will experience an abundance of the mysterious arepa: A sort of Venezuelan corn-ball that defies explanation. Mehr erfahren
Try Los Muchachos with caramelized onions, meat can be substituted for Chicken. Try Bolirepitas con Nata appetizer... For spice lovers,ask the server for their spicy sauce...
Arepas are small taco like meals of awesome! Go with small group, as always lines here. Absoulte fav in East Village. Can buy the special sauce in bottles to take home too
Im a vegan, and they have the most amazing arepa stuffed with tofu, black beans, and plantains. You can build your own. I also had a coconut shake, which was dairy-free. Amazing!!
On a nice day, skip the line at the sit down place and go two doors down to the take-out storefront. If you have time to spare - definitely worth the wait.
The arepas are like little pockets of magic. Feel free to be liberal about sauce usage. It's phenomenal. They took it off the menu, but you can still get La Paisa if you ask - delicious salty cheese.
One of my old favs! Can get crowded so check out if the take out version two doors down has seats. Their Billyburg restaurant is much roomier. Order the Pabellon!! mmmm....
A personal favorite in the city. Great for lunch (good special) or a first date. If the line is long and the weathers nice, grab a beer from the bodega and wait it out paper bag style.
Get the reina pepiada arepa and try one of their home-made juices. And don't leave without some guasacaca or cachapas...some truly authentic Venezuelan fare.
The consensus here is to order De Pabellon, and we whole heartedly agree. Shredded beef, black beans, and cheese stuffed into a pocket bun. You'll want to come back after eating here.
