Arepa’s Place WI

This was my second time & may be the last one, I'm very disappointed because I bought one of the most expensive things in their menu an I got offered to substitute the sausage for sweet bananas wich I never got it & also order one of the quesillos (Flan) an was told that they ran out of it so they offer their tres leches cake I paid over $30 dollars with the tip an I didn't get my hole order right! The pastel was missing & also the sweet bananas! What a shame!

Find gluten free goodness at this amazing Venezuelan place in the Brookfield Square food court! Arepas are usually gluten-free and I verified with the owner that these are made with no wheat flour. The version served here is as authentic as they come. We tried four different flavors: chicken, pork, beef and black beans. All were stuffed to bursting with delicious, clearly fresh ingredients. The meats were all succulently juicy and mildly spiced. The black beans also had plantains (which the owner graciously prepared on the grill instead of in the fryer to keep them gluten free). Everything was delectable. Since the arepas are made fresh when you order, you might have to wait 5-10 minutes but it's well worth it. I suggest you sip a cup of their passion fruit juice while you wait, golden refreshment that is so much better than any of the sodas you'll find elsewhere.

Quality, tasty food found guilty in the Mall's Food Court. I ❤️ empanadas so when i saw this place there was no way I wasnt going! Expectations were low since it was in a mall food court...but i was wrong! Empanadas are made fresh (they literally flatten the dough fresh, fill it, & fry it up) the dough is moist thick & sweeter than im used to with other empanadas. I thought it was an "adjustment" to aid in the process of making fresh empanandas. But, I was told this is typpical Venezualen style of the empanada dough. Food was not too sweet, salty, or over fattening. Fillings were chicken, beef, or pork...and again seemingly non-processed. Like they cooked and shredded the meat off the bone. Dinner was served wit blackbean, rice, & perfectly ripened fried plaintains. I will definitly be back when in the area. My only wish is they come up with a non-typical fountain drink selection.
