Arepa House

I had passed this restaurant so many times and finally got around to trying it. The food was DELICIOUS. The arepas were incredibly fresh and warm. The fresh juice was amazing. The staff were kind and helpful in explaining dishes. The restaurant was cozy, and I loved the music and bright colours. Made me feel like I was on a vacation! Definitely a must try in Harrisburg. If you are a pickier eater, I highly recommend the arepa Reina Pepiada with chicken, avocado and mayonnaise.

Stumbled onto this place while driving through town. This was our first experience with Venezuelan and it was wonderful. Perfect rice and beans with sweet plantain served beside meat of your choice with two delicious sauces. I had the tres leches cake for dessert. Hands down the best I've ever had. Absolutely would stop here again. Thank you!

Amazing spot! Super lovely people serving absolutely delicious food!!! I read another comment about the cake and had to try it- make sure to add it to your meal because it’s sweet goodness. The arepas were fantastic- we especially loved the one with plantains.

I was visiting Harrisburg and came across this place while searching for coffee on Google. When I arrived, I was surprised by how busy it was. I parked my car in street parking and waited almost 20 minutes in line to place my order. The ambiance and style of the place were unique and different from anything I’d seen before. They mainly serve freshly made arepas, which I had never tried, but the bustling crowd convinced me to give it a shot. I ordered the Reina Pepiada, which is an arepa filled with chicken, mayo, and avocado. For my beverage, I chose Chicha, and for dessert, I had Tres Leches. I really liked the atmosphere—it had a charming, small-world feel that I enjoyed. As for the food, I didn’t love it as much, probably because I’d never had arepas before, so the taste was unfamiliar to me. However, the food was still good, just not exactly to my liking. My friend, on the other hand, really enjoyed it. At $8 for an arepa, it seemed a bit pricey, but considering they are freshly made, I think it’s worth it. They also had board games to play while waiting for the food, which was a fun touch. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’d say the place is definitely worth a visit, especially if you enjoy trying new things.

The beef cachapa was so tender and delicious. The corn pancake was slightly sweet to really set off the saltiness of the cheese and beef. The vibe is chill and welcoming. Definitely recommend!
