Arepa Grill plaza Fiesta

I had the La criolla which is an arepa sandwich overflowing with juicy picanha steak and my friend had a vegetarian dish. It was an amazing food experience as the steak was incredible and the sandwich truly stood out. I loved the food and experience of the plaza so much. I will be trying everything on their menu and I 100% think this place is underrated based on my experience. The passionfruit refresco is amazing. I like the sauces they have also.

Delicious and authentic Arepas! They were out of quite a few different ingredients so definitely check with them what arepa you want beforehand if you really want a specific one. Spanish is definitely helpful but not required. Delicious, well-priced, we will be back!

We stopped by and ordered some of the guava tequenos, a burger, and an Empanada de Pabellon. We ordered at the window and was told it would be about 15 mins, but it took about 30 mins. The guava tequenos were great, best thing we had. The burger was lukewarm and didn't have any seasoning/flavor. It did come with fries, which were crispy shoestring type, again no seasoning at all, not even lightly salted. The empanada was supposed to be beef, black beans, plantain, and cheese. There was no cheese and the meat looked and tasted like shredded chicken instead of beef. The plantain was hard and starchy, I'm used to it being soft and sweet when I order this elsewhere. Overall we weren't impressed with the food.

My 1st time Feb 2020, I ordered Venezuelan empanadas: "Carne mechada" y queso, and I had a chicha (sweet and thick rice drink) all was freshly made, with great authentic Venezuelan flavor. There is only one table right next to where you order, but there are many tables in adjacent main area of the food court. 2nd Visit July 29, 2020 this time because of weather permitting they also have an out side area where you can order and are 4 tables with umbrellas ideal for this COVID-19 times. The attendant/cashier she was very nice, friendly and professional. Today I had the traditional Venezuelan dish: "Pabellón Criollo" It is a plate of shredded beef, rice, black beans, fried plantains and arepitas (small Venezuelan type of corncakes) with a "jugo de parchita" (passion fruit juice). Everything

I’ve had arepas many times so I was excited to find this little place while in the area on a Sunday at lunch time. It’s located inside the very busy Plaza Fiesta (extremely busy on Sunday) in a sort of back hallway by the food court type area. The menu was very clear and easy to understand and there was a whole vegetarian/vegan section which surprised me! We tried the plain cheese arepa with the mano cheese. That was an additional charge but that is what I’m used to having with arepas so I had to try it. That cheese is so good and salty very similar to a queso fresco. The domino arepa had black beans and a white shredded cheese and it was warm with tons of flavor. We also tried the house made blackberry juice which was surprisingly good! I will definitely go back for the arepas!
