Viva Mi Arepa

Viva Mi Arepa serves Venezuelan food on Centre Street, with arepas, empanadas, cachapas and tequeños giving you several places to begin. Arepas are cornmeal rounds that can be grilled or fried and filled with meat, vegetables or cheese. Order one as a meal, or add a few smaller items if you want to compare different preparations.

The menu also includes larger plates. Pabellón brings together shredded beef, black beans, rice and sweet plantains, while seafood and pork-chop dishes offer other choices. Fruit juices and shakes include tropical flavors such as mango and pineapple. This is a Jamaica Plain stop for either a filled arepa on its own or a full Venezuelan lunch, with online ordering available for pickup.
