My wife’s family is from Venezuela and she has been eating Venezuelan foods her whole life. I also have grown to love Venezuelan foods particularly arepas. So both of our excitement was off the charts when we learned of this place being not too far from us. We were absolutely not let down. The food is absolutely fantastic and has me wanting to go back every week. Their drink options include various Venezuelan drinks like Malta which I am quite fond of. The staff are very friendly and are always happy to converse with us in Spanish and make sure we are all good. To the average consumer the price may be on the higher end but arepas that are well made like this are hard to make and are very filling so it is absolutely worth the price. We often get two different arepas and cachapas on the side. We will be coming back many times throughout our time in Pittsburgh. (Also park in the giant eagle lot it is much easier)

So incredibly delicious!!! On our first visit, I got the Armando's arepa and my husband got the Pabellon arepa. We also tried the passion fruit juice. Across the board delicious. I cannot wait to come back.

$12 for delicious venezuelan sandwich. It better and richer than a taco. Comes out pretty fast. The restaurant is pretty small and has only like 3 tables, so would recommend take out only.
