This was my first time trying Venezuelan food. They do have an English menu. I can't wait to come back! I tried the #1 with beef and the #15 with chicken. Both meats were very flavorful. The #15 had a sweet cornbread like bread that paired perfectly with the meat. I don't love sweet cornbread, but it was the star of my meal. The #1 wasn't as good, but had a great flavor. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
Went for lunch on 2 occasions. First time I ordered the Arepa Carne Grill and on the 2nd time, the Cachapa Carne Grill. Both had a generous amount of meat and were delicious! The workers up front were very helpful and the restaurant overall has a great feel to it.
It was my first time going there and the food did not disappoint, and the cashier was super friendly. The atmosphere was great, my brother was eating his and didn't say one word once he was done he said "that was pretty bomb" so I definitely recommend this place
First time trying Venezuelan food & all I can say is It is absolutely delicious! The service is always great and every time I try something new I’m always surprised because it’s better than the last. Recommend the Carne Mechada ! Sooo good
The food here is so good. They have a great setup, want to come when there’s live music.
Their new place in Gainesville is great!! Very spacious and just has a nice vibe to it. The food (as always) is fresh and delicious. Their service is friendly and they always greet you with a smile. I recommend you pay them several visits because you won't be able to try everything you should try on your first visit. I suggest starting off with their AREPA PELUA (#5) so you can understand our countries MAIN food. Appetizers are always a must so make sure you get some tequenos (no.... they are NOT CHEESE STICKS), empanadas and mandocas. Pastelitos are delicious but they don't have them available here yet. After you've had these MUST haves then I suggest you try their PATACON and then their CACHAPA... just trust me, you'll love it. Note of caution.... Venezuelans LOVE cheese. If you're not a cheese person, they do have items without cheese, but just do a double take and make sure I'll continue visiting this spot for many years to come. Awesome spot
The food is ridiculously good. Such great flavor!! You can tell everything is made with care. I could not stop eating. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the folks were nice, and they had baseball on the big screen. So, dang, good. This is a new regular spot for us.
Wow! What an unexpected find. Although I am Venezuelan, I was thoroughly and exquisitely surprised about this restaurant. First impressions: As I walked in I was greeted by beautiful praise and worship music in Spanish playing through the speakers and a large screen. It gave me instant ease and welcomed me in. With a genuine Zulia (region where the owners are from) yet contemporary feel, Zuarepa’s presentation was welcoming clean, orderly and beautiful. Food: Our arepas were freshly made, high quality, and beautifully presented. The portions were extremely generous making the meal very filling. The menu is simple yet customizable covering Venezuela’s main fast food cravings. Their guasacaca (tartar sauce) was delicious. Service: The server at the counter was pleasant and to the point. Additional on atmosphere: A small empty stage with furrucos (tipical Venezuelan musical instrument) gave the impression that Zuarepa host live music events at times. Other large screens were playing La liga soccer and other sports. The little things that make a difference: High quality details displayed anywhere from the foods presentation to the bathrooms show Zuarepa’s intentionality and care. The bathroom cleanliness and high quality materials were notable. The individually plastic covered disposable silverware gives it another personal touch. Overall, I was impressed and pleasantly surprised with Zuarepa. I wish I lived closer to become a regular. Please open a marietta, ga location. Keep up the great work!
