Amazing food. Nice portions for the price. Service was great too. Pleasant people working there.
Decided to try this place because of their menu, however, food and service was okay. Ordered a dish that was supposed to come... with quail eggs, but they were missing. When I asked for...the waitress stated that they didn't have. Would be nice to let usknow this kind of issue in advance. Moreover, they allow costumers to come without face mask, eventhough they aren't consumingfoods. Lastly, be aware if you decided to dine in they automatically charge you with a service fee (15%).

servers not wearing masks, have mandatory 15% tip, tip should be voluntary. server(without mask) explained to us that 15% tip us... a fee for using the table over the weekend this should be illegal, we saw a lady have to get up and asked for forks and knives.we have ordered hawaian empanadas in the past and only gotten cheese. terrible service Read more

Please, don?t stop making your food so delicious, people will take notice. Guys, keep up the great workand I?ll keep coming back for mo and mo. ???? Read more
Stop reading this review. Just go to El Rey de Las Arepas. This place may just be my all time favorite restaurant in... Michigan. I'd never had Venezuelan food before, and am often reluctant to step outside my comfort zone, so I'm really glad thatone of my friends dragged me to this restaurant and showed me the light. You may drive to the restaurant and be a littlesketched out by the location, that's ok! It's not in the best part of Detroit, but if you can get past that, Food Heaven awaitsyou. The restaurant presents itself as what most people would think of as a "hole in the wall". It's something you'd nevernotice if you were just passing through, and unfortunately you'd probably go on not living your best life. Lucky for you (yes,you!) you've somehow found yourself reading this review, and may just be able to broaden the horizons of your eatingexperience. There's a decent amount of seating inside, I can't say if it gets packed during peak hours as my friend and I wentin the afternoon on a Sunday, but we had no problem finding seats. Once seated, our server asked us if we'd ever been to therestaurant and gave us some time to explore the menu. If you've never had Venezuelan food, I'd recommend getting somesuggestions from the waiter. Luckily my friend is a more enlightened being than I am, and was able to explain what to get. Weended up getting the Shredded Beef Arepa (with cheese), the Reina Pepiada Arepa, the Cachapa, and the Parilla Mixta. My friendand I follow a Ketogenic (Keto) diet, so we avoided the carbs in the dishes. You may get some strange looks from other folks inthe restaurant if you follow our lead, but don't let it stop you from experiencing food bliss. All the dishes were fantastic intheir own way, but the Reina Pepiada Arepa was especially delicious, do not miss this one! Are you still reading? Really? Wellhopefully I've convinced you to make the trek and try out El Rey de Las Arepas, trust me, you won't regret it! Read more
