I recently dined at Rica Arepa, and wow, what a treat! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere and friendly service set the stage for a great experience. I tried the Pabellon Arepa, which was flavorful, but a bit tricky to handle. My husband loved the Bomb Burger - huge and packed with taste!

The enclosed back patio is a hidden gem, perfect for summer vibes. Don't skip the refreshing natural juices; they’re a hit! Overall, a fantastic spot for family or date night. Can't wait to come back for more... 🍽️✨

Rica Arepa is a delightful escape into Venezuelan cuisine! The arepas are wonderfully soft, and the shredded pork is bursting with flavor - definitely try the criollo brunch! The cozy patio adds to the charm. Perfect for a family meal or a casual date night...
