When the restaurant proper is full, grab a seat at the adjacent counter-service, take-out spot.
TaylorAugust 9, 2014
If it's crowded or a long wait, go two doors down to the To Go outpost, which has some small tables.

Pro tip: La del gato and tostones mochimeros. And a cocada. You're welcome.
Matthew HartsoughApril 19, 2016
The whole menu is great. Try the takeout side if it's too crowded.
Ankit SablokJune 30, 2014
Order La Mulata and La Surena along with Sangria and you will love it :)
Snooty WaiterAugust 20, 2011
Over an hour wait but two doors down is there take out spot that also has some seating. You might be able to grab a seat there. Friend Snooty Waiter on Facebook for NYC dining info.

Great little place. The De Pabellon and La Sureña arepas were excellent

Community contributor James Traub's favorite arepa is "the musical-sounding La de Pernil — roasted pork shoulder with tomato and mango sauce." Read more

Order de pabellon arepa.. so delicious. Also, try the passion fruit juice.. it comes in a jar and is the best passion fruit juice around!

Allison EspositoMarch 21, 2014
Lots of great vegetarian options but the La Del Gato and La Mulata are faves.
BrianJanuary 19, 2014
Great, unique food! Great prices
Michael MuseSeptember 10, 2014
The house sauce is left on the bar - its awesome, definitely try it
Ignacio FinolMarch 27, 2012
It gives me an authentic taste of home, however it's cramped/understaffed. I think they're actually trying to suppress demand. Go to the Brooklyn one if you can. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015
The arepas are small for the price they charge and though the flavor combinations sound amazing in theory, I'm constantly underwhelmed with the flavor
Joshua WinataNovember 17, 2011
The Panelling would definitely be my top recommendation. Love the sharp cheese and mellow plantain flavors.
Zoé GanchDecember 3, 2015
La del gato is my go-to! Amazing arepas
Nicky K.August 19, 2014
Delicious arepas. Be prepared to wait for a table.

Try the Caña And Limón Drink - Sweet and tangy with a slight taste of Tamarindo. So good!
Stephanie AlmanDecember 16, 2018
Dlenfato, mulata, and chips and guacamole with extra sauce 👌
Gabriel HayesSeptember 3, 2015
Awesome arepa place in the East Village.
KassMarch 21, 2016
El pabellon is the only way to go. Guac + plantains are solid
Tom M.September 7, 2014

Epic food item no one gets: Coconut milkshake. It's a game changer.
Fanny GMay 3, 2015
Delicious arepas!!!! Try as a many as you can!
Danya JimenezDecember 17, 2016
Only the small take-out is open so come with plenty of time to wait.
EatocracyJune 7, 2010
For a taste of Venezuela, chomp into one of these stuffed corn-flour arepas. Feeling indecisive? Try the La Popular sampler of three different, traditional varieties. Read more
Erik BurbullaAugust 6, 2014
Anything with chorizo in it. Also, the pulled pork special

La Del Gato will always be my favorite arepa.
Carolyn TAugust 9, 2011
Lunch special for 8.50 on weekday is an arepa+soup/salad, to stay or go. Awesome and delicious.
Andrew FurmanJuly 6, 2015
Great lunch special. $9.50 for a salad and a sandwich.
Adam RJanuary 3, 2012
Outstanding. Snack on plantains and guac under the every watchful eye of a Chavez bobblehead.

Douse whatever you get in the secret yellow sauce at your table. Seriously. DOUSE. ON WHATEVER.
Brennan KnottsSeptember 4, 2011
Get the guacamole and chips. Best I've ever had. Chips are made from plantains and taro root.

Papelon, the perfect summer drink. #20 arepa, the La Surena. Obleas, tiny bit of dulce de leche sandwiched between 2 wafers, a tiny piece of heaven in every bite.

Never heard of an arepa? Start with plantain chips and guac and get the de pollo with cheddar, caramelized onions, and chicken. Mmm.
