El Chamo Arabe

"DELICIOSO!!! What an amazing fusion of flavors! We have always loved Venezuelan arepas but these were the best we have ever had. We even took more for our road trip. We aren't from the ABQ but highly recommend this spot to give your taste buds something new to experience . . . They won't be disappointed! We will be back on our next trip."

"This was our first experience with Venezuelan fare and I can only say that we loved it. We had the Venezuelan sampler along with an arepa and an emapanada. The food was delicious (the sampler platter was a great intro). The restaurant is in a storefront setting with ample parking. You order at the register with a few tables available for dining in. There is not much ambience to speak of, but who cares? The food was great. Staff were friendly. Service was adequate."

"Delicious fresh food! This spot is affordable, excellent quality, and offers kind service. I could eat here every day. The plantains are my new favorite in ABQ. (Divine pabellon arepa and pabellon empanada pictured)"

"Venezuelan here! Living in Florida, I came to this place, and it surprised me as it is better than many Venezuelan restaurants from Florida for sure! So if you want to try something authentic and tasty please do yourself a favor and come to El Chamo Arabe. Also generous portions."
