Reviews for Arepa Please in Jacksonville, FL
You?re missing out if you haven?t been!! I had the Pabellon and the Cachapa (a must have). The Pabellon is shredded beef with... sweet plantains, queso blanco on a bed of black beans. A nice combination of savory and sweet. I truly enjoyed. However the Showstealer, for me, was the Cachapa the Sweet Corn Cakes would have been amazing on their own but combined with the fried cheese?Delish!!! And good sized portion to share. Come for the food, stay for the Art and chill vibes. The staff was very friendly, awas informed of what an Arepa is, the different ingredients in a few of the options which made my decision quite easy. Whilethere, take a moment to appreciate the art. When you notice the cool feature within the photo collage on the left (while facingthe counter) come back and like my review. Bring that foodie friend with you, you know the one that?s always putting you on togood food. ???? Read more
When you first walk in you are greeted which is very welcoming . I had high hopes after that lol. I got the cheeseburger and... fries and the fries were terrible no seasoning and very overdone. The burger meat was a flat type of patty that also had noflavor ???? but the bacon was decent tasting. Maybe I should have gotten an arepa instead ???????????? Read more
Super good!! Went with a couple friends and no one was disappointed; so many different arepas that I honestly wanted to try them... all. (The one friend that got the grilled cheese said it was good ????). Super nice staff as well, excited to go back! Read more
Amazing food!!! Stopped for lunch and luckily beat the rush. Service was good. We had the chicken salad arepa and the gyro... salad. Both were great. Also enjoyed the decor of the place, just a nice comfortable place to be. Coffee was outstanding aswell Read more
Excellent Venezuelan restaurant, very tasty food, spectacular arepas, tequeños, coffee, the place is very cool, good background... music and atmosphere. We are on a road trip and we stopped in Jacksonville for lunch and the experience was really good. Everytime I go to Jacksonville I will come back to eat. Read more
It was my first time in and it was a great experience! The staff was super nice and explained what arepas are (basically a... Venezuelan version of a taco). I got the Fancy monkey (sub avocado for queso) and my boyfriend got The Queen. We also got theirweekend-only special empanadas. Everything was so good!!!! The arepas don?t look huge, but they are SO filling and so good!We?ll be back!! Read more
We went with my very picky parents and everyone loved their meals. I got the funky monkey and it was the tastiest arepa I?ve had... (don?t tell my MIL). If you are looking for a quick, delicious lunch it doesn?t get better than Arepa Please. Read more
I had a quick trip to Jacksonville and spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out where I wanted to eat for my one meal in... Jacksonville and landed on Arepa Please. I am so happy I did because the food was amazing and all new to me. My group each hadan Arepa and one of each of the 3 appetizers and loved all of them! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat in eacharepa. As someone who eats a high protein diet, I know how difficult it can be to find restaurant food that has an adequateamount. I was also amazed by the decor when I walked in! The mural on the outside wall was beautiful and then I walked in andsaw all the art with tracing lights all over the walls and a bar top eating area lined with cacti. Next time I'm here, I willdefinitely visit again! Read more
