    The food was tasty. The staff was great. I had a great birthday meal here. I wish to send my appreciation to the team. Oh and the Arepa sour is great. Thank you

    Delicious. Lovely homemade lemonade. Arepas were deceivingly filling and cassava chips delicious.

    A selection of dishes including spicy chicken wings garnished with green onions, crispy cheese-topped potato wedges, chargrilled chicken with fresh herbs and sauce, and sweet cream-filled pastries with sauce.

    The service was impeccable and the staff were amazing. There was a lovely balance between serving and leaving us time to talk. we had a lot of mini plates and they were all delicious and I would definitely come back again!

    A generous serving of seasoned rice with rich, creamy black beans, accompanied by golden-brown, chargrilled plantains and topped with creamy white cheese and a sprig of fresh herb.
    Three golden-brown rolls brushed with oil, served with a rich, tangy ketchup dipping sauce.
    Shredded chicken in a rich sauce, topped with a runny egg yolk and garnished with pickled red onions and finely shredded vegetables.
    Golden-brown pastries drizzled with syrup, topped with creamy ice cream and garnished with bright red raspberries.

    Situated a short walk from Bethnal Green station, the restaurant is welcoming and well-decorated. Since we had reserved a table, they used Scrabble letters to spell out my name, which was a nice touch. The starters were the highlight, with bold flavours and interesting textures. Unfortunately, the mains did not meet the same standard as the starters, but they were still acceptable. The desserts, however, were a mixed experience. The tequeños de chocolate failed to find the balance between the not-so-sweet ice cream and the bitter dark chocolate. The tres leches was the better of the two, with a soft, soaked sponge cake and a creamy top. The staff were friendly but somewhat disorganised. We chose the starters fairly quickly and used the time while they were being prepared to select our mains. However, shortly after serving the starters, the mains were also brought out. This was problematic because the food was getting cold, and the table was not very large.

    When we arrived at the restaurant we saw a menu that was left on the table, we saw that there was little variety and several breakfast dishes. We ordered, the plates were good except for the cachapa with a syrup that was too sweet. At the end when we paid the bill they asked us how the food was, we told them that it was good except for the cachapa, they said that we should have asked for the other menu, we said: how are we going to know that there was another menu? and the waitress said that we had to ask since we were the customers, they are the ones who have to offer the variety, the girl insisted on the same and we told her that we were not happy and that the customer service was quite poor.

    I accidentally stumbled across this place when I staying over in London and decided to return with a friend! Loved the atmosphere, staff are friendly and attentive, food was super tasty and took me back to my own trip to South America. Would definitely go back. Great choice of food for vegan/vegetarian or meat lovers. Reasonably priced and well worth a visit!

    Love the food here!! And although they’re called “Arepas & Co” the real star of the show is the Cachapas <3 I have never seen/tried them anywhere else, and they are MAGIC!

    I took my students to Areoa & Co to explore and try Venezuelan food. They were happy with the service, the food, which was yummy and they were also able to practise Spanish. Very friendly staff. I'll definitely go back!!

    I had eaten at the Stockwell branch so it was good to try their larger place in Bethnal Green. Great Sunday atmosphere. Very relaxed and friendly. Cachapas excellent as always.
