From golden, hand-pressed arepas to slow-simmered sancocho — every dish carries the warmth of a Venezuelan kitchen, now served in the heart of downtown Orlando.
El Arepaso de Orlando was born from a simple conviction: the flavors of Venezuela deserve to be experienced, not just remembered. Every arepa is pressed by hand each morning, every sauce is crafted from recipes passed down through generations, and every guest is welcomed as family.
Located on East Washington Street in downtown Orlando, we bring the bold, comforting cuisine of Caracas, Maracaibo, and beyond to a community that appreciates food made with intention and care.
Each dish is a chapter from Venezuela — bold, comforting, and made with the same care your abuela would approve of.
Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, every visit to El Arepaso is designed to feel like coming home.
Our space is designed for connection — soft lighting, warm tones, and just the right amount of bustle to make every evening feel alive.
Every arepa is hand-pressed, every sauce is made from scratch, and every plate leaves the kitchen with pride and attention to detail.
Host your next gathering with us — from birthday celebrations to corporate lunches, we'll tailor the experience to your occasion.
From the kitchen to your table — see what makes El Arepaso feel like home.
We let the food speak for itself — but our guests can't help but share their experience.
The Reina Pepiada took me straight back to Caracas. I haven't tasted anything this authentic since I left Venezuela. El Arepaso is a treasure in Orlando.
We hosted our anniversary dinner here and it was perfect — the food, the warmth of the staff, the atmosphere. It felt like dining at someone's home in South America.
I brought my family here and even my picky eaters loved it. The tequeños are addictive, and the sancocho is the best I've had outside of Venezuela. We'll be back.
