El Arepaso Venezuelan Cafe - Tulsa, Oklahoma

El Arepaso is my favorite spot for arepas and empanadas! The best part is they are GLUTEN FREE! The dough is light and crisp, yet strong enough to hold the deliciously stuffed filling! Great size for the price. Don’t skip the fresh passion fruit & mango juice!

This place has all the flavors 😋 So many things to choose from. Everything is made as you order so it's fresh. Their green sauce, guasacaca, is amazing. Their plantains are so good and the pork is tender and flavorful. It's my first time trying Venezuelan food, guys! you have to try it. It's amazing 😋

If you’re looking for the most delicious arepas de Reina Pepiada, empanadas, patacones, and tequeños, look no further—this spot is the real deal! Every bite of their arepas is packed with rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned chicken and avocado filling, while the tequeños are golden, crispy, and oozing with gooey cheese. They’re simply irresistible!

Beyond the amazing food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It’s a family-owned business, and you can feel the love and passion they put into every dish. The staff is friendly, and the service is always great. It’s the kind of place where you feel right at home.

Our kids absolutely love coming here—it’s one of their favorite spots to eat! Whether it’s the cheesy tequeños, the arepas, or just the cozy environment, it’s always a hit with the whole family.

If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor and try it out. Five stars all the way!

This might be a new favorite place of mine. Little Venezuelan restaurant that will be celebrating 5 years this year. I had the entree with the beef, rice, and beans (I can’t remember the name). What I do remember is how good it was! I will say that the beef was slightly salty, but not enough to be disrupting to the meal. We also ordered an Empanada which was really good. The person who served was a woman who made you feel like you were a guest in their home. Definitely would go back!

The first thing I noticed was that El Arepaso Venezuelan Café is a well kept clean little shop. Tidy, pleasantly decorated. Order at the counter, pay at the counter. The food is served on disposable tableware and the drinks are bottled. The young lady working the counter was very nice.
The food…..
I have found my Venezuelan soul food meal at El Arepaso Venezuelan Café, the “Pepito.” When I saw the picture of that beef sandwich covered in “potato stix,” I was pulled in. It was no disappointment. Tender lean chopped steak, lettuce, onion, cheese, bell pepper, some of every kid of sauce they have, and of course potato stix! The sandwich is put in a press, smashing the soft sub style bun to about a quarter of an inch thick; finished with a toasty crust. An explosion of flavor. The best Venezuelan food item I have eaten. You will throw rocks at a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, once you have had this. I hoovered it up!
My wife went for the Pabellon Empanada. A boring looking fried pie thing. How deceptive. It was another phenomenal Venezuelan food item. Shredded beef, plantains, black beans, cheese, wrapped in a thick handmade corn tortilla, deep fried, served with a perfect avocado flavored sauce on the side. My wife raved about how good it was, while she was eating it, and all the way home!

Simple menu with delicious items. We ordered a variety of arepas as we try to eat gluten free. They were quite flavorful and perfect size for lunch. We also ordered the fried plantains. They came with cream and cheese but were delicious by themselves.
