Arepa Mania Venezuelan Cuisine | Our Story
Venezuela's soul, one arepa at a time
Arepa Mania brings bold Venezuelan home cooking to New Rochelle — golden arepas, pabellon criollo, and house-made sauces that taste like Caracas on North Avenue.
The food that started it all
Venezuelan cuisine is built on generosity — big portions, deep flavors, hand-formed arepas, golden empanadas, and pepitos de carne that keep regulars coming back.
Dishes rooted in tradition
The pabellón criollo honors Venezuela's national dish with slow-cooked beef, black beans, rice, and sweet plantains. The chicken cachapa — sweet corn cake with house-made sauce — is the one guests always order first.
A kitchen that feels like home
The team behind the counter walks newcomers through the menu, shares the stories behind each dish, and embodies "tu familia y panas" — your family and your friends.
New Rochelle's Venezuelan gathering place
Open seven days from early morning until 10PM, Arepa Mania has become Westchester's go-to Venezuelan spot — welcoming Iona students, longtime locals, and curious first-timers alike.
