★★★★★ 5.0 Arielle Mercier · Dec 2025

We ordered Carolicious catering for a company event, as our employees have loved eating at Carolicious every day. I was greeted with a warm phone call helping me ensure I had the right amount of food for the group, and offering to come onsite and serve the group so that we could have custom made-to-order bowls. They showed up early and set up, everything was extremely clean and organized, their energy was infectious, and they brought extra just in case (which we did end up needing!) which was extremely helpful. It was the biggest hit all year, and everything was delicious. We will absolutely be inviting them back for more catering events.

Tried this Venezuelan arepa and what a comforting, flavorful bite. The shredded chicken was perfectly seasoned, the black beans added heartiness, and that creamy sauce brought it all together. Plus, the warm, laid-back atmosphere made it even better. This place is definitely a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Venezuelan comfort food.

First time to try Venezuelan food. Bowl Pabellon Beef: Pabellon is said to be Venezuela’s national dish. Product from this stall was healthy, but not that authentic, or delicious for my Chinese appetite. As the core part, beef was absolutely fabulous, shredded and deep stewed to soft and tender, more on the savory and fragrant side, but also with a zing of tomato’s sourness and paprika’s spice, somehow similar to Mexican style. However, the black beans and banana were a bit overcooked, together with the salad dressing, mixed with the rice, making it overwhelmingly mushy, which was a disaster for me who love dry rice. I have checked through Google and ChatGPT that all ingredients should be placed separately, and obviously, pico de gallo should not be in there. By the way the food stall is

This amazing hole-in-the-wall has been one of the highlights of restaurants we have tried in the Cambridge, MA area; from their fun, savory handheld arepas to their hearty bowls. We heard about this restaurant by word of mouth, and I can see why. This restaurant is tucked away in a corner of the town and down an obscure road that no one would find. This unexpected hidden gem is well worth your time! We ordered the Pelua (spiced beef + cheese) and Pork + Pico de Gallo Arepas as well as the Pork Pabellon bowl. The Arepas were fantastic! The beef + cheese arepa satisfied those salty/meaty/cheesy cravings while the pork + pico de gallo was more refreshing. We loved both of them so much. For people who don’t know what an arepa is, it is like a taco sandwich (analogies won’t do this description

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Doron Bracha · Mar 2024

I'm sorry to write a mediocre review, but I expected much more and was disappointed. The location is somewhat hard to find, accessed from the brewery. Also hard to find parking nearby. The place is quite empty on a weekday around noon. The interiors are somewhat rough, exposed steel structure, not much decor. Also no music, just loud rattling from the big refrigerator. The food was pretty good but not amazing, and the prices are high. $12 for a small bowl that is not filling, $8.5 for a small arepa (even two would not fill me up for lunch). And they do not serve water. Bottom line- nice place to try different food, but not good value compared to a taqueria.
