Venezuelan Classics and Shareable Plates in Astoria
Arepas, sweet corn cachapas, and house sangria fill the tables here, backed by nearly twenty years of regulars.
🌽 Arepas and Sweet Corn Cachapas
Venezuelan cooking anchors this family owned Astoria fixture, where corn dough arrives in several forms. The signature arepas sit alongside traditional parrilladas and sweet corn cachapas, with house sangria for the table. A bowl of chicken soup gives the menu a softer landing, while the mini platter comes out hot and fresh.
Regulars have kept the room in rotation for nearly twenty years. On 36th Avenue in Astoria, Queens, the portions are built for sharing. Empanadas alongside one arepa can often cover two diners, giving a table room to sample more of the menu. The kitchen opens at noon Monday through Friday and at 11 AM on weekends, with Friday and Saturday service running until 11 PM, while the other days close at 10 PM.
Bring a friend, order across the menu, and let the first arepa set the pace.
