What Mary Palin likes about Rica Arepa Lakeview:
I’ve been wanting to stop here for ages and today was finally the day. The weather is gorgeous, the front window is open, everyone is happy and the experience overall was fantastic. I had the Pabellon Criollo (beef, rice, cheese, plantains, beans and a fried egg) and it was so good. Perfect amount of food and delicious. I also tried the Papelon con Limon (Venezuelan lemonade). It was good- very sweet. I’ll definitely... View all feedback.

The food was rich and flavorful, the service was excellent, and the timing was spot on.

The food was delightful, but paying $17 for an arepa seems excessive.

The food was delicious, but charging $17 for a single arepa is outrageous.
