Nice little place tucked away on Beach Street by the Esplanade...such a quaint little place .. Venezuela food...good taste and satisfying...young man at the front was very nice and patient. We sat upstairs overlooking the river. Very pretty view. I will be returning.
Absolutely delicious. The sweetness of the shredded beef & plantain arepa mixed with the savoryness of the beef itself and the acidity from the side sauce and the authentic corn taste from the bread was like a Venezuelan dance in my mouth. But, if Venezuelan food isn’t your thing, they’ve got just about anything else you can want as well. But I highly recommend the arepas because that is the Venezuelan flavor they are known for! Arepita beach is like a small piece of Venezuelan right near the coast of Daytona Beach. Also, Cesar the owner is the man! He’s extremely nice and attentive to his guests and works very hard in his own restaurant. Come give this place a shot!
After a long day at Daytona Beach, there’s no better place to go to than to the rooftop of this restaurant. The food was delicious and I had some sangria with an amazing view. Very happy this place exists.
Uhm AMAZING. The empanadas were so good. Not greasy at all!! And i had a CHICHA drink. That was filling by itself. And then i ordered something that was delicious. It had plantains beans chicken and cheese. Check the pictures. They have a second floor, which you can look over the river. So good! Friendly staff, and it was my first time. I will be going back again to try other items because I am a foodie.
Our #116 TripleD stop if I remember correctly. The Patacon Sandwich was huge and delicious. Went with the shredded beef and sweet plantain version. Garlic sauce was the kicker. The Aguiuta E Sapo was very good too but I'd ask to add some of that garlic sauce to it myself. Banana/Pineapple Smoothies were tasty! Great service. Cool place. Great view out the front window!
If you eat here go upstairs and enjoy the view! Food is very good, drinks are good, atmosphere is very nice. Highly recommend. I got the arepita vegano with Papelón con limón.
If you're looking for a restaurant with the best Venezuelan food is an absolute must-visit. But what truly sets this place apart is the “ HALLACA “ in particular, is a perfect balance of hearty, comforting, and flavorful. It’s clear that the chefs put a lot of care into each one, with fresh ingredients and rich, complex flavors.
Everything here was sooo good 10/10 would recommend. I saw this restaurant on a TV food review last year and I wrote it down . I’m so glad I finally got to go ! Def recommend the plantain roll, arepitas beach and the empanadas!
