Quiero Arepas

Mmmm if you love arepas and want variety this is the spot! Stop in for a quick lunch and prepare to get messy after walking on south pearl! The team was kind, and the food delicious!

Good prices! Quick service! Nice, neat space! Overall.... Pretty good! The arepa was crispy and chewy and perfectly done. The Reina Pepiada has a lot of promise in the description. There was almost a beautiful seductive dance of flavors. However, mayo came in and threw every other ingredient off the dance floor and gyrated awkwardly in the center while onlookers were just hoping it was over soon. I'd definitely go again if I was in the area, but I wouldn't get that dish again. Unless there is a state wide mayo shortage that allowed the citrus and avocado to shine.

I tried Quiero Arepas today with my family. It is a small restaurant with 4 tables with 4 seats each, a high table by the front window & entrance with 4? bar stools and a picnic style table which I was fortunate to get while waiting for my family to arrive & park. While not terribly busy when I arrived this Saturday at 1:30; they quickly became very busy. I selected the Pabellon Arepa. It was a good sized arepa - typical I'd say - with Stewed beef, black beans, sweet plantains and cheese. It was well portioned and tasty. My favorite Pabellon Arepa is still the ones I enjoyed from Cumaco Arepa House in Indianapolis IN - the shredded beef has the most delicious flavor! If you're on a mission to try Arepas & you're in Indianapolis, make sure to try Cumaco and try Quiero Arepas on Pearl St too!

One of our favorite meals in Denver, it's a nice but casual spot and these Venezuelan arepas are delicious. Similar to a pita or torta, the breading is crispy and the fillings are plentiful. We shared the pabellon (beef), reina pepiada (chicken & avocado) and queso arepas.

What can I say, I love arepas and they're not easy to find.Came in after a long run on a hot day. The staff was working hard but I was greeted with a friendly hello. Ordering is at the counter and they understand that a good portion of the local population are probably new to Arepas.I ordered the pabellon which comes with juicy marinated shredded beef, plantains, black beans, and shredded cheese. Topped with their house sauce. What I love is how the outside is hot and crispy while the inside is soft and juicy. The savory flavors gush into your mouth.They served it with a fork, which didn't make sense to me.... Until I was finished and had a nice amount of scraps to feast on.I wouldn't come here to cool down from the heat of the summer as the AC was not on high. Not uncomfortable, but not a sense of refresh from the 95° day.

Bad food bad service. I was rushed as soon as I walked in with no one else behind me system was down and they gave me the wrong order

I don't know where to start, this restaurant is spectacular. From its authenticity, to the fresh ingredients being used, these arepas are hard to beat. Each arepa is made from scratch (including the bread), served with a friendly smile, and the quality has been consistent across many visits.Would not recommend going here expecting a quick Americanized meal. This food is handmade from raw ingredients and is top notch quality, something of which takes time to perfect!

Live this place. Always ready for takeout. We go here about 1x per month. Food is consistently great.

The food is great. I love that it is GF and the plantains are delicious. However, every time I order for pickup it is never ready on time.

Super clean restaurant, friendly service, and fantastic food. Try the Pabellón! There are gluten free options as well.
