the decidedly distinctive flair of Venezuelan cooking from its family-owned kitchen. Named for the traditional stuffed and grilled cornmeal pockets, Arepas Steakhouse also has many tasty appetizers, salads, steaks, and, of course, arepas to choose from. For the full assortment of Venezuelan favorites, try the mixed grill Parrillada with picanha steak, chicken, and chorizo, fried Yuca, an arepa, grilled white cheese, avocado, tomato, red onion and lettuce.
Another option is the Pabellón Criollo with rice, shredded beef, chicken, or pulled pork, black beans, sweet plantains, white cheese, fried egg, and a plain arepa. If you’re not feeling quite so adventurous, try their Venezuelan take on a cheesesteak: the Pepito with grilled beef, chicken, and bacon in a french hoagie, drizzled with ajo sauce, ketchup, parmesan, and a side of fries. Desserts will transport you as well–try the Torta Tres Leches or Caramel Flan. In Fifth Street Station.
