Arepa 2GO in Portsmouth

Today I visited this place after finding it on Uber Eats, and I can honestly say that the experience was amazing, one of the best I’ve had in the UK. The food was incredible, and the customer service was top (Rosa is amazing and lovely). It’s a very warm and welcoming place, you’ll truly feel like you’re in Venezuela. We had Caracas Arepas, Ávila, and Sifrina, as well as tequeños, empanadas de carne, and for drinks, the typical Polar beer and Chicha. I highly recommend it 100%. I’d come back to Portsmouth just to eat here!

Very good food! The people were very kind and service was excellent!

This is just authentic. Must try it!

I absolutely love Arepa2go!! I first visited here the day I moved to the area and I was so hooked that it's the place I visit most for food. You'll get a warm, sunny welcome, along with some incredible delicious food. My favourites are the Sifrina arepa, Papitas Fritas and the special seafood empanadas. You can't go wrong with a trip here, thoroughly recommend!!

An amazing independent Venezuelan restaurant, yummy food, friendly staff and good vibes. Get yourself down there for some flavours!

Amazing place, the food is incredible and you are made to feel like part of the family every time you walk through the door! Best haloumi fries you will eat anywhere in the world!

Incredible service, the woman who served us was so passionate about the food!

Food is nice. Service is brilliant. Atmosphere is chilled Staff are incredibly friendly.

Incredibly lovely place with very nice staff! Me and my boyfriend love latin food and as soon as we saw this place on the map it was a must and the food was even better than my expectations. The staff is a family from Venezuela (all incredibly nice) they were even closing when we arrived but the service was 10/10. The music is latin music, so you can expect a bit of salsa, merengue and nice latin vibes in general. We ordered arepas (Ávila and Caracas) and it was excellent. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is visiting Portsmouth and I hope I can go back soon😍🥰 🇻🇪

Absolutely amazing place to eat! The food is incredible, tasty and fresh. The staff are super nice and friendly 😊

Amazing little gem in Portsmouth. Love it.

Delicious food and great for gluten free. Nice range for veggies as well. A great quick stop!

Excellent food and lovely staff.

Took a gamble and oh boy, so glad we did. Worth the trip to Southsea on its own!

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. If you're in Southsea you should go you'll be pleased you did.

Amazing food, we had a lovely time! Muchísimas gracias!

If I could give 6 stars I would. The best arepas I have eaten in a long time. The tequeños and the delicious empanadas. Not to mention the churros! We devour them. And I went home with a drink for the road. Spectacular. And the attention a 10! I highly recommend it and we will return to try the other arepas. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Super Latin vibes... Love the guava juice was so delicious and the empadas. Also the music took me back to the latinoamerica country. ..

Tasty food, friendly service, and great music!

Delicious food, very friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere. We will be going back 😊💙

amazing food, cute vibe/directions, and Mehi was so nice and so helpful!!

Amazing Venezuelan food. Empanadas are global!🥰

Really delicious, authentic food for a great price. Really lovely service as well! Sad we can't be having it a second time as it was so delicious. Definitely recommend!

Authentic Venezuelan street food - a delicious lunchtime treat with all the fabulous flavours I remembered from childhood

Amazing food, came with my parents and we all loved it 😍

Best Venezuelan food ever definitely visit if you're in portsmouth!

Life changing empanadas, and such a treat for those looking for gluten free A* Venezuelan street food

Incredible food- haven’t had Venezuelan food this good since being in South America. Thank you!

I turned my car around to go to this place and it was incredible. It didn’t disappoint. Delicious fresh arepa, good quality ingredients, thoughtfully assembled. Would 100% go back. Thank you for the delicious food.

Very friendly staff 🙂 Authentic Venezuela food We will come back 👌

A must go to spot. Delicious food and a supper friendly staff that explain all their tasty treats. I went for the Caracas and it was packed with pulled beef, plantains, black beans, plantains, cheese, and a delicious cilantro sauce. It was so good we went back the next day for a late lunch! Got one with chicken in an avocado sauce, plantains & cheese. Freshly made and so many options!

Delicious food, absolutely loved it. All set in an authentic Venezuelan atmosphere with some very jibing music to accompany. You can sense the love and attention the owners have given this restaurant. We were greeted by a lovely lady at the counter.

Not been into eat yet, delivery only. I love this food, so good.

Delicious arepa! Passion fruit juice also tasty. Great service. Thanks!

The food is decent but the prices are atrocious for what you get, and the food isn't that good to justify the costs. You're paying restaurant prices for street food.

A hidden gem in Portsmouth. A must go to when you are in the area

Authentic Venezuelan food in Southsea. This was a surprising find outside London. The decor makes it feel as if you are in a beach cafe on the Carribbean coast. The arepas were top notch all washed down with Polar beer. Venezuela the way you want to remember it.

A cheerful place with good food. They have some vegan options. The waitress was kind and positive. It’s a place that will leave you with a good mood.

Great food, friendly and welcoming every time I've been. So glad they're my nearest place when I fancy something different or can't be bothered to cook for myself😅

The best arepas I have ever eaten, a must see restaurant if you visit Portsmouth. Small family business with unbeatable treatment, 100% recommended.

Excellent Venezuelan food restaurant, unique flavor just like in Venezuela, careful and impeccable service, my complete congratulations

Drove from Poole to Southsea just to go visit Arepa 2Go for my birthday meal, and I must say I was not disappointed! Food was delicious, authentic Venezuelan flavour, service was amazing with a perfect atmosphere. We will definitely go back, we loved it

Happy place in southsea. Great food, great service.

I was on holidays in Portsmouth & Southsea and I discovered this amazing place. The vibe was so amazing, food was delicious and it is retro style with latino music. It is perfect place for practicing Spanish. 100% recommending.

It's been weeks since we had some arepas and I still think about them. I hope to be back one day fir sure when we're around. Meri was super kind and friendly!

Love this place! There were a few of us and Arepa were so kind to accommodate us. The food is amazing, so delicious and completely gluten free which was important to a couple celiacs in our group. Will definitely be back

A great little venue, good to eat in or takeaway. Really friendly, prompt and efficient service, excellent value.

Best arepas ever! Highly recommend if you want a taste of some good Caribbean food 🤤

Good food and better service. 100% recommendable. A great choice if you visit Portsmouth and are looking for something authentic.

Tried Arepas 2 go for the first time with my friends and we loved the food so much. The atmosphere was so friendly and helpful as we weren’t too sure what to get. I had the Arepas Caracas and it was unreal, haven’t eaten anything like it. Definitely give it a go and even better, it’s all gluten free ! Looking forward to next time I can go back :)

Can’t believe it’s our first time here! Such a perfect place for dinner, the food was amazing and the staff were lovely! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely place, went for the first time this evening and the food and service was amazing. Some of the best food in Portsmouth.

The food is very delicious and the staff is very friendly.

Friendly service in a fairly basic dining area , it is simple and quite casual. The food was delicious and simply served as one might expect. Suited me fine and was I well satisfied with the food and service which I did not think too expensive. Well, it's worth a visit, and I won't be a stranger there. It was busy on the night I visited, and for me, the casual dining is one of its attractions.

Absolutely adore this place! Second time I've gone and it's fantastic! The food itself is so good and we just kept ordering. We really enjoy the Empanadas and the Latina fries which taste so good. Also the first time I went with my friend who has to have gluten free food and they were delighted to see so many options. The service is so special, you get such a warm welcome and it feels so lovely and relaxing to just sit in and eat. It's also dog friendly so your furry friend can spend time with you too. I'd definitely highly recommend this place if you are in Portsmouth and want a bite to eat. Definitely one of the most welcoming and wholesome places here and I can't wait to go back for more!

Delicious, friendly and fun! Wish we had come here sooner, amazing delicious food (especially the Yucas Fritas), and super lovely friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Super buzzy atmosphere, delicious food and lovely service from friendly staff. Popped back in and this place just goes from strength to strength, L O V E D the tostones.

We have spent a few days on vacation in this area, and we have heard about the tasty Venezuelan food they prepare here. We loved their delicious arepas and a homemade chicha to sweeten our day. The service and atmosphere of the place are incredible. I recommend it to everyone, if you pass by, don't hesitate to take it with you for the return trip, like we did, with a couple of empanadas for our return home.

Delicious arepas, empanadas and wonderful service. A quiet and clean place with exquisiteness in every sense.

If you are looking for serious flavours and nice latin music ambient, this is the place to go!

I just genuinely LOVE this place. Not only have I been eating this food for 9 years, but it keeps being my #1 choice (it makes me drool every.single.time). It's just simply fantastic and it makes me SUPER happy to share my culture, our passion, and all the love we put into it with everyone.

This was our first visit to their store after trying their arepas at the Southsea market. We all loved it. All of the food we tried was delicious and freshly prepared. The guasacaca sauce was so delicious 🤤 Bring cash to get 10% off your total!

Great experience, as usual! Thank you so much

Amazing to put it simply. The food is great, the arepas are reasonably priced and are really filling, the empanadas are different than I'm used to from home but man it's so good! Go try it out if you can. They have a deal when we went on Thursday that's 20% off the arepas AND 10% off if you bought cash. Try it out!

I ordered the beef empandas and the Latino fries and the food was absolutely amazing and service was very friendly and very helpful. The food was very fresh and cooked with love and soul and I would recommend to anyone who wants to try Latin American food for the first time

Absolutely faultless. Lovely small restaurant with a homely feel. The staff are great, very attentive. The food is incredible - we'd never tried Venezuelan food before. We would definitely come back here. The cocktails were 2 for 1 at the time and the Venezuelan beer was really good. A must visit restaurant.

I found this place on Instagram, it caught my attention and we decided to go try it. It was more than enchanting with the attention of the staff, the quality of the food, all delicious, and the cleanliness of the place. It is really worth traveling to Portsmouth to enjoy some good arepas, we have been twice and we will surely return again!!

Great place. Amazing staff and amazing food, definitely worth trying it out and coming here often. Good job.

Love this restaurant. The food is very good, catering for my gluten free diet. Most restaurants you find limited gluten free items. This restaurant most items are gluten free. My favourite restaurant and takeaway.

In my personal opinion, they have the best food in Portsmouth. Wonderfully friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tasty place to eat. Also, they're dog friendly!

Wonderful place to get to know Venezuela food and to support a nice family business Everything was delicious 🤍

Lovely little family run place and everyone was so friendly. Great to try something a little different! Arepas were freshly made and absolutely delicious. Will 100% be back again soon!

We had a great dinner and will definitely go back.

Really amazing food and lovely friendly staff. Will definitely come again.

Excellent food and an incredibly friendly staff. The atmosphere is great, and feels very like being in Venezuela, which is a little cold in the depths of January, but the aperas brings enough warmth and sunshine to make up for the weather in Southsea. Also, try the tequeños

Lovely little place. Interesting food. Great addition to Southsea. Deserves to be successful.

The food is amazing, the empanadas are the best I've ever had! The lady at the counter is friendly and welcoming. She even spoke Spanish to some customers she knew, making the place have such a friendly family feel. I'll definitely be returning!

Amazing food. Everything was great. The atmosphere was great. Beautiful place. VERY friendly staff. Family business so they care and love what they do. You can tell by the quality of the food and how cleaned the place is. You can see the kitchen and how they prepare the food. If you haven't tried please do. You will love it the way i do. The Arepas are gluten free so if you or any of your family members are gluten intolerant then this is the place to go with your family or just for take away. I guarantee Arepas are much better than the typical takeaway burger. Try the arepas with tequeños and a beer (POLAR ) the best combination ever So 5 stars for me. Thank you very much to Arepa 2 Go family. All the best 👍 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I know every review is 5 star but it really is very good. We ate just vegetarian options and it was delicious. Really very good. Freshly cooked and fantastic flavours.

Really nice and friendly people running the place and great food

Muy buen Lugar ,ambiente comida,casera y servicio excelente Mery la.mejor

As a someone who grew up in Portsmouth, it's nice to see actually decent and different places pop up. The good was delicious, especially the empanadas! Tired of mediocre food? Try this place :)

Love this place. Food is amazing and the service is awesome!

We live in the local area and have walked pass on many occasion. We visited on Sunday. As we walked in we were greeted by a young and older woman both absolutely lovely, never eaten Venezuelan food before we asked for recommendations which they were only too happy to oblige. Ordered our food and found a table. Atmosphere was good, great Latin music playing in background. Food arrived, looked amazing and tasted excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant. The young lady who served us came over and asked whether our food was good, customer service excellent, she was happy to stay and talk about how they had set up the Restaurant and future ideas. A very enjoyable experience with delicious food.

Lovely food served by lovely people.

Fantastic, friendly service. Great food, good portion size, great flavour combinations, definitely ticks all the boxes. The staff have great knowledge and share their recommendations, if you are new to their cooking style, like me, they help you to understand the menu. Highly recommended.

Meri is very friendly and the food is in fact authentic feom Venezuela not just “pretend” and the drinks are good as well. My top 1 without a doubt

I enjoyed the atmosphere in a beautiful, vibrant snd cozy place. Food is very tasty, Yuca Frita is a must to try here! Staff is always welcoming and nice. I am also lactose intolerant and they have been very cautious about this and very helpful for any changes to the dish I requested because of my intolerance.

Amazing authentic Venezuelan food! Great atmosphere and service!

Fantastic family run place. Great food, cooked fresh and brilliant service

Great restaurant with great authentic venezuelan food!!

Excelente servicio y la comida estaba deliciosa, pedi unos tequeñoa y estaban llenos de queso y la salsa verde uuufff!! Lo recomiendo al 100% porque de verdad estaba increíble

La chica de barra da una atención espectacular Del menú las empanadas de carne estaban calientes y llenas de sabor; también probé los tequeños y estaban bien rellenos de queso. Todo lo sirven con salsa muy rica y no picante. En definitiva volvería, 100% recomendable.

Incredibly welcoming staff, amazing food and service. Would highly recommend.

WOW!! The food is amazing and the staff are polite and welcoming. I highly recommend Arepa2go and look forward to enjoying more of their Arepa’s in the future!

Really nice staff and I could eat empanda all day!

Honestly some of the most amazing food I have ever had. The staff are genuinely so friendly and the whole experiance was amazing! Please dont sleep on this place! They also do take away and delivery too.

Highly recommended. I'm not usually inclined to this type of cuisine, but I have to say I liked it. I tried a few of the options, and they were good.

Their food is the highlight of Portsmouth!!

Ambiente genuinamente latino con arepas, cervezas venezolanas y colombianas en Southsea, Portsmouth.
