Mouthwatering Venezuelan in Orlando

Autana Arepas Grill

★★★★★ 4.8 (49)

"I have been here a total of 3 times now and the quality has been consistent each time! This is the perfect spot if you're looking to have delicious arepa's while watching the sunset. The owners are very kind and friendly and do a great job of giving this place a very "mom and pop" feel!They do have a sign that explains that their food truck is not fast food, therefore, not to expect fast wait times. So as a heads up, they make things fresh and it can be a longer wait depending on how many orders they have but know-- it's well worth the wait. I enjoyed the tequenos (cheese sticks) and the chicken arepa very much. They give you sauce on the side too.Because the seating is outdoors, the ants and mosquitoes can be an issue but they do provide you with OFF spray and hand sanitizer. It's probably best to show up with close toe'd shoes and pants because of this. Overall a really great spot and If you get the chance, definitely give it a try!"

Arepas El Cacao

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (60) • $

"The arepas in this place is awesome!!! I had the Arepa Cacao #1 and it was one of the most awesome arepa in the world. The portion was big and super tasty. I cannot describe the feelings and taste by words, therefore you must eat in this place to feel it and to savor it!!!"

Ternerita Cafe & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (64)

"This small cozy restaurant is a latin/ Venezuelan bbq grill with steaks, chicken, sandwiches, salads. and other great eats. It has a cool patio for secluded outdoor eating. It has great music videos playing on a big screen and it's a energetic atmosphere. Service was attentive and friendly. This place has AMAZING PRICES for fresh grilled entrees and cocktails. The exceptional prices and well made cocktails drinks earn this place 5 stars. The restaurant uses Tito's and grey goose for vodka drinks. Their $9 Cosmopolitan was very well balanced and prepared with great care. Delicious!The entrees range from $17 to $24 for an entire bbq grilled meal. I had the filet mignon, Cesar salad and rice. Chimichurri and a cilantro lime sauce come with the entrees. We also took photo of our NY strip steak. Loved it. If you like great value but awesome fire grilled steak, come here and order a filet mignon!"

Q'Kenan Restaurant

"This was the first time I had Venezuelan food and omg everything was so good. My favorites are Patacón Whit Picanha (they cooked picanha so well and it goes so well with the plantain) and Cachapa Queso Mano (it's soft and the cheese melts in your mouth.) So so good and I can't wait to go back!"

"Spectacularly messy, hefty burger was gastronomically delicious. The lady that helped us was kind and sweet (wish I had gotten her name to credit her more specifically). Clean interior. Nicely lade-out design inside. Outside looks sketchy but don't let the warehouse exterior deter you. They are legit. Why they didn't have a Yelp review footprint baffles me, but they do now! At the time I am posting, they had 265 reviews on Google and a 5-star rating. Well deserved. Highly recommend the cane sugar lemonade, made in-house. Nom effing nom !!!"

"I was starving and as searching for something fast but healthy. This came up on my Uber eats feed!! Pleasantly surprised at the amount of food in my food bowl! Loaded with flavor too! I can't speak on the service since I didn't go in person, but please feel free to order from them!"

"Great place for breakfast...that's all I've tried so far! The arepas are amazing and my eggs were cooked perfectly. Very friendly staff and a general festive atmosphere! I can't wait to try additional meals here."

Maracaibo Mia Son y Sazón

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (93)

"I originally was looking for pupusas near the airport but didn't find a spot, so decided to try arepas instead. Arepa Grantinada / Melted Cheese Arepa $13: I wasn't in the mood for meat, so I picked this one believing it would be cheese only. The cashier told me the cheese would be melted on top, which sounded great to me! After I paid, the cashier said this actually comes with meat so I had to choose. I went with beef. I ended up receiving a sandwich with shredded beef, ham, onion, lettuce, Mayo and ketchup. Topped with melted cheese. The cheese itself was good, but I found the beef a little too salty. I am still curious what a plan cheese arepa would taste like. *****My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here."

Arepas Nene

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"16.23 for an arepa and a coke it's ridiculous. On top of that the arepa is not that good to be 12.35. The dough is undercooked and not crisp. The soft drink was a can of coke for 3 dollars. The service was average and the ambiance nothing to brag about."

Arepas El Cacao

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (208) • $

"This is a hidden gem on the side of the road which is not easy to get into. Know that the parking lot is tiny and there is only one road in/out. I might reccommend parking in one of the adjacent lots and walking through the parking lots. I'm sure that's frowned upon, but will make your life much, much easier when you arrive and depart. Also, the service is a bit slow, but, I don't think you'll mind once you have your food - totally worth it. Onto the food, it's excellent! The arepas have tons of flavor and are very filling; you definitely don't need more than one to feel full. I'm bummed that I haven't tried a smoothie yet. As I watched them be made, they looked incredible; definitely on the list for the next visit. I got the arepa with beef inside and I want to try others, but that will be a difficult choice since that one was so good."

Arepa Burger - Waterford Lakes

★★★★☆ 4.1 (30)

"Let me start by saying that this is my second time visiting Arepa Burger. First time I wasn't impressed but let me say that this last time it truly change my mind. Arrived 3 minutes before closing employee asked the folks in the kitchen if they could serve me, with no hesitation he said yes. The place was pretty busy for almost 9 pm and clean.I placed two arepas (Carne Mechada y el Arepa Burger). Both hit the spot from fullness to taste. Arepa burger is messy but was flavorful. When arepa craving hit again, I will definitely be visiting them again. Don't change and keep up the great work."

El Importado - Osceola

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"It's a fast food vibe place, simple , not a fancy place, but comfortable. The food didn't take too long, but I definitely feel it was on the high side for what it was. The total was almost $60 for a sandwich, arepa and cachapa. The one thing I can say that this place has that others don't is the home made spicy sauce that it's actually spicy.. and I took some with me.."

Empanadas +58

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Absolutely fantastic and probably the best empanadas I've ever tried. I'm more partial to the cheese, Empanadas because of the flavor, but my wife really liked the meat Empanadas. I didn't try anything else just the Empanadas, but I can't say enough good things about them."

El Rey Del Shawarma

"Excelente hamburguesa pollo y los shawarma alucinantes podría repetir varias veces en la semana. Servicio rápido y eficiente sobre todo si le pides cebolla. Ambiente no me molesta agradable a pesar del reggueton a todo volumen."

Pipos Latin Food

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The best spot at today's farmer's market! Sam and Kike were so sweet and their food did not disappoint. We got the chicken empanadas, beef empanadas and the tequeños. Everything was so delicious and I can't wait to go back again and get more of everything! The beef empanada was definitely my favorite. Their sauces are also perfect with their food items! They offer garlic cilantro, smoked chipotle, and sweet guava. My favorite is the green sauce which is the garlic cilantro. You also have to get the fresh squeezed Orange juice. It is SO good and it is made with Florida oranges! They only use the juice of the oranges to make it! Can't wait to go back! - Beef Empanada- Chicken Empanada- Tequeños - Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice"

El Toque

★★★★☆ 4.3 (9)

"New Venezuelan restaurant! WOW! Que rico! My cousin who was born in Venezuela showed me this place and now I'm hooked. It's in the same shopping plaza as Alex's Fresh Kitchen & Aladdin Cafe next to Wawa by Red Bug. They've been open since November '23 and have two other locations on the other side of town. The restaurant is decorated very modern and cool. You can either order at the counter to go, or be seated and have a server come take care of you. The food is made fresh to order, so if you're in a hurry I would call in the food ahead of time.We've had the parilla every time! Twice my job ordered the largest size to share and one time my husband and I shared the smallest one. They say the smallest is for one person, but we had plenty to share and leftovers to take home. The parilla comes with chicken, steak, sausage and a side. The meat is delicious and comes with a side of guasacaca! Guasacaca is a traditional Venezuelan avocado and pepper sauce that goes great on the meats. My husband doesn't even like avocados and he was into the guasacaca! They also have garlic sauce, cilantro garlic sauce, salsa rosada (pink sauce), and nata (Venezuelan butter/cream), and a chunky salsa upon request. All the sauces!For sides, we loved the mini arepas dipped in nata and the fried yuca dipped in garlic or pink sauce! Their coleslaw/salad is NOT TO BE MISSED. It looks like a typical coleslaw but the flavor is unique and addicting. They also have tostones (fried plantains) shaped into bowls and filled with meat, cheese and salsa. These are super filling and could be a meal of their own! We got their giant cachapas (corn pancakes) filled with queso de mano (white handmade cheese) and topped with nata with a side of chicharrones (pork cracklings). Definitely could be a meal in itself and expect to take a nap afterwards! Everything is done so traditional, and the flavor is on point!There's so much more I still have yet to try on their menu. They have tacos, arepas, fajitas, patacones, and all the typical desserts. I did get a mango juice and was happy that it was obviously real mango and not just a syrup or flavoring! Overall this is quickly becoming a favorite Latin restaurant and I suggest you run (CÓRRETE!) to El Toque!"

Pastelitos Chips

★★★★★ 4.9 (10)

"This place is another little hidden gem in Kissimmee. For authentic Tequeños (which is cheese wrapped in a dough) this place is the place to go! Baked, not fried and homemade.Super delicious soft, creamy, flaky goodness. And they have a special sauce that comes with them that just makes them that much better!Small menu but everything is fresh and homemade. You can taste the difference. You can call ahead your order if you dont have time to wait. Very tiny spot. Can't dine in. To go only."

"First time ordering from here and it did not disappoint at all. The food is well seasoned i loved everything i just wish they gave more sauce but other than that everything was great. I ordered through Doordash and my food came hot. This place 10/10 i recommend."

Sebastian Cafe Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (18) • $$

"I used to work in Orlando about 10 years ago and we used to come here very often. Coming back now, it's still just as good - and the kitchen is spotless! Coming from a restaurant background I can tell you that it's no easy task keeping the place this clean, especially after a decade. Incredible home made style food.. Many people on here complain about the prices - but the lunch specials are great and like everything in life, you get what you pay for."

Pepito's House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"Delicious! I quick and easy bite but damn is it pricey! I got the Pepito House and my wife got the Pepito Gratinado! Both absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I had steak on mine and my wife's had chicken. Both fantastic but these both cost $22 and plate for the size of a small flatbread and a handful a fries. Sad but true."

Latin Fork Arepas Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (76) • $

"This was delivery just for one. Quick lunch for yours truly. Very good although not too crazy that they add chicken salad to their stuffed arepas. I had the chicken stuffed arepa with pink sauce. That sauce is the BOMB . Had a passion fruit juice that was so so. Will order again just for a quick lunch and another meat selection. Maybe next time I'll ask them to leave out the chicken salad."

El Toque

★★★★☆ 3.7 (9)

"Went to El Toque for dinner and I loved it ! I ordered a cheese and sweet plantain empanada to start and it was a perfect starter. Didn't get me too full. For my meal I ordered a patacon with sweet plantain and it was enormous. Definitely had some left overs but it was so good. Pretty small restaurant but not too crowded. Our waitress Lucy was super attentive and always checked up on us. Definitely want to try it again."

"Fantastic! Ordered a beef arepa and the sweet corn pancake (capatcha). Both were amazing and HUGE! I ordered it as I was getting on the highway so I didn't take a pic, but the menu pic below is spot on. Definitely authentic Venezuelan food. Very clean and spacious. I will definitely stop in again!"

Wonder Arepa

★★★★★ 4.5 (120) • $$

"Awesome little hidden gem. You walk in and order on a touchscreen. The menu is in both Spanish and English. Once you order, there are a few tables to eat in or you can get it to go. The arepas are AMAZING. I would highly recommend giving this spot a try."

Venezuelan Burger

★★★★☆ 3.6 (17) • $$

"Not a bad place to get some grub after a long night in town. Good menu with great tasting food. They seemed to manage the crazy college kids as best they could. However, I feel like they lack organization. Still, at 3am, after almost all businesses are closed, maybe I am asking for too much. Had the Arepa with chicken and fries. Good food and fair priced. Fiancée had Venezuelan burger which he said that was amazing and it's what they are known for. He also had the "salchi-papas" which are sausages with fries and he utterly enjoyed."

Amai Sweet And Salty Solutions

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"One of my buddies was staying in the Kissimmee area so I went down to hang out. When it was time for lunch, he said he missed Venezuelan food. I don't know any restaurants in Kissimmee, and absolutely no Venezuelan ones. So, Yelp to the rescue and after a brief search, we found Amai. Two things about this place, 1) the strength of this place is in selling bulk or catering, and 2) the food is delicious. Entering this shop shows a well decorated space, clean, minimalist, and with lots of whites. A fridge had some frozen foods, and lots of breads and take out items. There are desserts and small pastries on the displays, and a large menu on the wall. I kept looking at the menu because everything was a catering combo, so I was confused. The person helping us explained to us that everything is made to order, and if we wanted to order from the display we wouldn't have to wait. But my friend wanted tequeños, the little cheese sticks wrapped in dough, so we ordered tequeños to be made (5 regular and 5 guava/cheese), and we got chicken pasteles that were ready, and ham/cheese empanadas to be fried. We also picked up some desserts and drinks.Bottomline: everything was delicious. These are some really good tequeños, really good pasteles, and the empanadas are good (not a fan of corn empanadas). The sauces to dip the pastries are also phenomenal. The pavlova was amazing, and the key lime pie was good. Even the drinks were amazing. We got a lot of food for about $40, and what was made to order came out fast, like any other fast food joint. I have been lucky enough to have found really good Venezuelan desserts, when I lived in South Florida where the Venezuelan community is huge, but I haven't ventured into their cuisine much. All I can say is that this stuff was really good. I will surely stop by next time I am in that area, I have a friend in mind whom I can recruit for my next foodie adventure."

Birra & Sazon

★★★★☆ 3.6 (18) • $$

"WOW! This place was so amazing. The service was spectacular. The food couldn't be better...the temperature was so hot I knew it was fresh, the taste was out of this world and the service was impeccable. The serving sizes are more than enough. It's a cute little food joint with an authentic vibe. It's hard to find places like this that are so genuine. You must try this place if you're reading this."

El llanero carne en vara

★★★★☆ 4.4 (9)

"This place is so good! It's the best kept secret in the area. This gem is in the Vander Pol Nursery on the far end of the parking lot. It's a barbecue pit with skewered meats over wood, it's to die for. Seasoning is spot on and they serve it with a green sauce with cilantro, like chimichurri. Nothing fancy, just down right delicious. $25 gets you a hefty portion of sliced meats, side and enough to feed 2 people."
