Arepa Grill

This is a small Venezuelan restaurant in Doraville in a diverse shopping center with lots of food to try. Plenty of parking.You order at the counter, seat yourself, and the food is brought out to you. The staff was very friendly.Now about this food...delicious and filling! No complaints whatsoever.We ordered the Cachapa for with Venezuelan cheeseKid approved because my son had no complaints & loved the cheese.For myself I got the Reina Pepiada! This lil thing was so yummy and filling with chunks of mashed avocados. The chicken salad was super fresh! I want another just talking about it!They had a variety of sauces which I had 2 favorites, sriracha and avocado.Of course we had churros for dessert which were hot and ready to be devoured! Do yourself a favor and go eat here now!

I've been here twice and the food and drinks have been great! The first time I came I ordered the Cheese Cachapa, Arepa Tour and the Arepa Pabellon. All of which were hot, fresh and flavorful. You can tell the food is made to order.Second time around I ordered the Venezuelan Sampler and the Shredded Chicken Patacon, again both very good. The Sampler I would suggest more of as a shared appetizer because it's mostly fried starches stuffed with cheese. Not really meal worthy but great to share. Just an Fyi all the Patacon are served with a slice of ham (for the no pork folks), even if you decide to order a chicken or beef one, just ask prior to ordering.This is a smaller, very causal, restaurant inside of a strip mall. You place orders at the counter and someone will bring your food to the table. There is both indoor and outdoor seating but seats fill up quickly so be prepared to take food to go or eat in the car lol. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot.

You jealous.....if you're not eating like this then you should be. I'm about to start walking around and slapping people's food on the floor. Like, "WTF are you feeding yourself?!!" I was depressed when the Arepa Mia close to our home closed. Then we discovered Arepa Grill. I love this place so much I came 2 days in a row. You can tell the arepas are made fresh from scratch. Absolutely delicious! The aguas (waters/drinks) are too! I love the mora (blackberry) and the sugar cane lemonade. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but no worries. You can go eat in the common area of the mall where there is plenty of seating. I also like a little spice. Venezuelans aren't big on spice, so we grab some salsas to go from a nearby restaurant. I highly recommend this place. They have 2 locations. One in Plaza Fiesta and one in Doraville. I go to the one in Plaza Fiesta. Go get you some.

Excellent service and food. Brings be back to my upbringing's. Very casual, but fresh and delish. I highly recommend.

Great food, full of flavor. Everything was fresh & delicious.Efficient service.Cute decor inside. Limited seating, but ample parking in a shared parking lot.Will definitely come back to try some other things on their menu.

Nice cheap spot for authentic Venezuelan food on Buford hwy! Arepa Grill gets pretty busy, but food comes out fast. We started with the arepa tour which came with an assortment of arepas. Out of the arepas I liked the reina pepiada the most but the pork ones were good too. We then had hot dogs to share which were stuffed with toppings. We ended with my favorite part of the meal which was the caramel and Nutella churros. Overall, I will def be back to Arepa Grill to try more of their arepas and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Had a tremendous experience there. The arepa was very good except I am NOT a huge fan of cheese. Next time I would ask for less or not have it at all. The flank steak was tasty and tender to eat. Service was good. She did not speak much English that could have been tough but I had a Spanish speaking friend with me. The ambiance is nothing special. Two small tables in a mall shopping area. The food was hot and fresh. Would go again.

Amazing. I absolutely recommend the XL beef burger (comes with fresh fries) and the chicha drink for two people. The burger was stacked with bacon, egg, tomato, you name it- it was just incredible. The chicken arepa was also very tender and juicy, but after the burger and drink, I was so full! This is located inside a plaza, and there's only two tables for dine-in, but the staff was so friendly. I want to return back for sure!!

I discovered Arepa Grill when I searched for a new restaurant to try on Buford Highway. Service was a little slow, but the food did not disappoint. It was the real deal. Venezuelan cuisine. The arepas I had here were some of the best, most filling, and delicious arepas I've had anywhere. The patacon sandwich and cachapa were terrific too. If you don't know what any of these are, they're described in more detail below.This isn't a full-fledged restaurant. It's a food stall inside popular and busy Plaza Fiesta (Hispanic shopping center). Unlike most food and beverage vendors at Plaza Fiesta, however, Arepa Grill also has a takeout window outside the building. You don't actually have to go inside to order.Arepa Grill is located on the northwest corner of Plaza Fiesta. It's easiest to get to if entering from Dresden Drive or Clairmont Road. There's plenty of parking, but you might have to park a little further away because Plaza Fiesta is often crowded. Arepa Grill is also situated next door to one of the mall's busy points, at one of the entrances/exits to the food court, playground, and event space.As far as on-site dining, the restaurant has three small tables for two inside (six seats total) and four tables outside on the patio, next to the takeout window. All the patio tables have retractable umbrellas. The patio has some planter boxes for decor and partitioning. Inside and out, the business has put some noticeable effort into making itself look polished and more presentable with modern-looking branding/signage along with contemporary furniture.There's more interior seating in the food court's common area dining room.I believe Arepa Grill opened sometime in early 2020. The first Yelp review was in February 2020. The business' Facebook page was created and first Instagram post was made in May 2020.Arepa Grill social media links:FB: https://www.facebook.com/ArepaGrillAtlanta/IG: https://www.instagram.com/arepagrillatlanta/I ordered takeout and here's what I got:Arepas - grilled white corn pockets with the below fillings* Arepa Pabellon ($7.99) - shredded beef, sweet plantains, black beans, and shredded white cheese* Arepa Reina Pepiada ($6.99) - shredded chicken, avocado, and mayonnaise* Patacon ($9.99) - fried plantain sandwich made with sweet plantains, coleslaw, ham, cheese, mayo, ketchup, avocado sauce, and a mix of shredded beef and chicken* Cachapa ($8.99) - corn pancake made with maize kernels, water, and milk, flat-griddled, with shredded cheese and cream, white cheese inside, and a side of whipped butterThe arepas were outstanding. One of my friends asked me how Arepa Grill compares to Arepa Mia (https://bit.ly/39kHRYo). I told her Arepa Mia is good, Arepa Grill is great. While you can't go wrong with either, I found the arepas from Arepa Grill to be the biggest and tastiest I've had yet. They were fresh and packed with lots of flavor (more flavor than Arepa Mia). Where Arepa Mia wins is with the dine-in experience because Arepa Mia actually has a proper dining room.I loved everything about the arepas. Even the grilled ground maize dough by itself was delicious. The Arepa Pabellon and the Arepa Reina Pepiada were very different, but equally gratifying. The Arepa Pabellon was dense, meaty, heavy, and hearty. These were like sandwiches or - better comparisons - gorditas or pita pockets. Despite being generously-stuffed with ingredients, each arepa held up well. One Arepa Pabellon will serve you well as a meal.The Arepa Reina Pepiada was outstanding. It was perhaps my single all-time favorite arepa to date. Soft, ripe avocado. Tender, creamy chicken. It tasted like a delectable Venezuelan chicken salad. I couldn't stop eating it. It was really, really good.You can customize the Patacon a few different ways. First, you have the option to get it with either fried green plantains or sweet plantains (I chose the latter). Second, your meat options are shredded beef, chicken, or both. Getting a mix of both isn't mentioned on the menu, but my server, Luis, told me it was an option, so that's what I got. Like the Arepa Pabellon, the Patacon was dense and filling. It put me into a food coma. It was also a thing of beauty. It's called a "sandwich" on the menu, but you're better off attacking it with a fork and knife. It's more like a plated entree.The Cachapa was phenomenal. They have a few Cachapa options. I went with Luis' recommendation of a cheese Cachapa (I already had enough meat from the above items). These are accurately described on the menu as "Venezuelan corn pancakes." They almost tasted like a savory dessert. The pancakes had extremely appetizing texture and with all the butter, cheese (white, light, mild), and cream, well, it's hard not to like. I highly recommend it, along with the other three items above.I placed my order on a Sunday at 12:48 PM. Employee Vanessa H called me at 1:15 PM to tell me my order was ready, so there was a bit of a wait. It was busy.

Today was the first time going to this restaurant with my family. I have to say that it is one of the best Venezuelan restaurants that I have been since I moved to the United States 23 years ago. I lived 21 1/2 years in South Florida where is full of Latin restaurants, and this is the best Venezuelan arepa that I've eaten. I ordered La criolla arepa; the steak was juicy, tender and well seasoned. I loved the balance between the steak, cheese and the sweet plantains. The green sauce was really good too. My husband ordered a cachapa and it was delicious. We'll be back.
