Pachanga Arepa

"The owner charges a "service fee" to use credit cards without letting you know in advance. The food is not cheap, plus they overcharge a fee to use the credit card. If the owner is so cheap to pay the credit card fees, please just receive cash payments."

"This kind of business is the reason why Venezuelan avoid to eat their own food outside. How you can charge 13$ for a sampler plate wich doesn't represent half of the price of what you are offering. The menu has arepas in 11$ (Miami speculation prices).... I'm giving 3 stars because the food flavor was good but I won't be back here again with those prices and service quality. Just for the record the waitress was super rude with a customer that forgot his credit card and came to the restaurant to ask her if she had it."

"After years of trying, I had nearly written off eating at this place. Why? Because they were always closed during their posted hours of operation. In any event, I recently stumbled upon them while they were open, and decided to give them a long-overdue shot. They are a Venezuelan/Colombian restaurant, so I decided I’d give their bandeja paisa a try. I’ve had the dish at numerous Colombian restaurants throughout Tampa Bay, so I’m familiar with it. I have to say that while theirs is not bad, it’s not great either. For one, their skirt steak is chopped up into pieces, rather than served whole. Unusual, but ok, whatever. My biggest complaint about their bandeja paisa is their portion size. It’s small. Small portions of everything. Bandeja paisa is supposed to be a huge dish. One thing you should never say after eating it is, “I’m still hungry.” Well, I left still hungry. I might give them another try, but then again, it may be years before I catch them actually open again. Lol!"

"Yum yum yum is all I have to say! Absolutely delicious. I came here for the first time yesterday and ordered a ridiculous amount of food because everything looked so good. I ordered an arepa with meat and chicharrón which was delicious. I also got empanadas and morcilla as well as a sancocho to go. Everything was delicious and I can’t wait to come back."

"Venezuelan-Columbian fusion food... yummy! We stopped to try it out and ordered some amazing arepas! So delicious! This place is definitely worth a try if you like Latin food. :) The front-of-house server was a very kind, pleasant lady with limited English & a sweet smile & soul. I hope they last! Try them out!"
