El Arepón Venezuelan Food

Delicious food offerings and super friendly staff. A friend and I each got an appetizer and an entree. I'll definitely be back, as there are several other menu items I have to try!

This place is phenomenal. The staff are so friendly and their food will make your taste buds dance! I got the 2 meat pepito and it was so good! The various sauces on it are the main flavors but the whole thing is so good. You can't go wrong with any of the food here. Top notch restaurant!

It may seem like you're about to drive through some old abandoned buildings in Bellevue, but you're at the right place! Find the lit open sign and park. Go inside, try some of the dishes, drink and enjoy! Service A+.

The service was excellent! The server explained everything about what was on the menu. The menu was very descriptive also, which is good since I've never had Venezuelan food. I had an arepa, which is a sandwich on cornmeal bread. There are many. I got asada. Very good. And chicha, which is a drink kinda like rice pudding. Great!

I highly recommend this place. The service was amazing and the waiter was so friendly and happy. He helped us pick out our food and everything was great. The empanadas were very good.

We ordered there pepito and the caldo de res. The food is flavorful and savory. Overall amazing service, if you want to have an authentic Venezuelan home cooked meal and want attentive service this is the spot.

El Arepon Venezuelan Restaurant just opened in Bellevue, Nebraska a week ago but I've been there twice to eat. I was back for dinner last night. I had the Tostada: It's an Arepa, dipped in seasoned butter and Deep-Fried! Served with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, sauces, and choice of meat (I had ground beef). My wife had the Steak Arepa: Chopped, seasoned steak, fresh pico de Gallo, and queso fresco. We also had an appetizer: Tostones with chicken. Everything was excellent - but man... that deep-fried tostada was amazing!! The owner, Richard, came by to see how everything was. He is just such a positive, happy individual it's hard not to smile when talking with him. Highly recommended!

Undoubtedly... one of best hidden gems in the entire metro!!! Way to go Bellevue! This place definitely brings that type of authentic flavor that you find in South America. So much flavor, soul, and love in the food here! Richard is a fantastic host... and he creates an authentic laid back atmosphere that is incredibly inviting and friendly... almost like your friend is showing you his culture on a plate. You can taste the passion and pride in the food!!! If you're interested in trying world foods... this place is a must. But don't rush... talk to Richard... have a conversation... and let him bring you a little bit of various things. Make it an experience!!! Have a cerveza and kick back. I've trekked the world... and I love eating at places like this because you can taste the love they have for their food. I don't care where you are in Omaha... if you haven't tried this place... you're missing out. Between the laid back atmosphere, service with gusto, and southern hemisphere flavor... this place WILL BE a regular visit.

This place was so great!! Great customer service and quickly received our food! The patacone was delicious! The “bun” is plantains! It was a little hard to eat, but there a lot that fell out when I would bite. But it was easy to piece back together and eat after. We will definitely be back!

The atmosphere there is a work in progress. Inside, you could tell they were working on it. The outside, needed work. When I pulled up, I wasn't sure it was open. I'm so glad I went inside! Such a gem! Our waitress was amazing. She explained items to us and recommended a few things. She was prompt and friendly. She was patient with our endless questions. Food: so good! We didn't get anything that wasn't delicious. This is a must visit and enjoy sort of gem.
