I was a little wary, as I’ve heard this place has gone downhill, but my first visit was satisfying. A bit pricey, but the flavors are there and the service is friendly. A comfortable neighborhood place.
Authentic Venezuelan in a Cute (and Tiny) Spot
Caracas Arepa Bar may not be big – in fact, its space overflows with people at peak hours, with conversations in Spanish and English taking place at high volume – but its flavors definitely are. The arepas here are fried, not baked, but they still achieve that special texture, not crumbly, not cakey, but soft and almost sweet inside and with a perfectly crisp exterior. Even better are the ingredients they stuff them with, from crumbly Latin cheeses to black beans, avocado, chorizo, and even perico, Venezuelan-style scrambled eggs (at brunch).
The tequeños, a kind of fried cheese stick, make a good starter, but the guasacaca (Venezuelan guacamole) and homemade yucca chips will leave you better able to enjoy an arepa or two. Sadly, the empanadas are nothing special, and should be avoided in favor of the more unique items available.
The chicha, a kind of thick horchata, and the banana shake are both great for washing everything down.

Llanera
Delicious classic brunch arepa, with scrambled eggs, cheese, avocado, and black beans.
-
Chicha
Hard to drink an entire glass of this rice mixture, because it’s so thick, but great for sharing. It’s almost like dessert in a glass.
-
Camburada
Great banana milk shake. A somewhat less filling option than the chicha.
-
Tequeños
Passable fried cheese sticks. Tasty but eminently bad for you.
-
Dominó
Fine empanada, but nothing special.
-
Guasacaca & Chips
Delicious appetizer or snack. The guasacaca has a hint of lime that’s really refreshing, and the chips are perfectly crisp.
