The best Venezuelan empanada with ham and cheese I have had in Boston! Freshly served and a filling size. The cachapa was also deliciy, moist and you can taste the corn! Was lucky to have it served with Queso De Mano and perníl (shredded pork). Also the best papelón I have had in a very long time. Reminded me of my childhood in Venezuela. The staff was attentive, friendly and patient with all my questions as it was my first visit. Can’t wait to return for breakfast for a cafecito and an empanada.

Great variety of cachapas! Very easy to get if you drop off from Jackson Square station (T). The meat it's cooked to perfection and flavorful. Their portions are generous. Paellas seems to be very popular there was well. Staff is great, I will definitely come back again to keep trying other stuff on their menu!!!

This place is amazing!!! The Staff and owners are always so sweet and super attentive. Great customer service. Their food is extremely good! Always fresh and great flavors. Their empanadas are always so tasty and filled so much with meat. Definitely worth every penny! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Every time we go to Viva Mi Arepa we leave happy and already looking forward to the next visit. The food is absolutely delicious!!. We especially love the pabellón criollo, which is always so flavorful and comforting, and the tequeños, perfectly crispy and impossible to stop eating. The cachapas are amazing—soft, slightly sweet, and generously filled—and their empanadas are just perfect. And of course, the arepas are fantastic: fresh, flavorful, and packed with delicious fillings. What makes this place even more special is the atmosphere and the people behind it. The owner herself is often behind the counter making sure everything runs smoothly and that customers have a great experience. She is incredibly kind, warm, and friendly, and you can really feel how much she cares about her restau

Went here for the first time with my girlfriend and everything was phenomenal. The woman working was very kind and hospitable, the food came out quick and was piping hot. Everything was made fresh, absolute 10/10.
