Arepa2GO in Portsmouth

Wonderful freshly cooked food and served with a smile. Very accommodating for my vegan friend and spotlessly clean. Food is delicious and full of flavour and worth a little wait whilst they cook it. The Venezuelan shandy was super refreshing as were the juices.

Firstly this place has a fantastic street presence. It is clean, bright, enticing from the outside. The welcome - well just that - welcoming! As it should be - smiling, informative, helpful. The food does not disappoint, absolutely delicious, we shared arepas, empanadas, tequenos, haloumi fries, latino fries, cheesecake and coconut ice-cream. Every bight a delight. We were warmly dispatched, extremely content, by the hostess.

A great spot with a welcoming host serving fresh and delicious food. Great for coeliacs as most dishes gluten free. Reasonably priced as well. Worth making the effort to find, and prob only 10 mins from Southsea common (approx)

Took a fair old detour for my first ever arepa, and it was well worth the extra miles. Really delicious, crunchy, fresh. Definitely recommend. Friendly staff, nice place.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Fantastic food, staff, environment and beer. The Polar is Joe of the best around. Especially on a hot day. Food is one of the best in Portsmouth. So many independent places trying and falling short. This place hits all the right marks.

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

Fantastic food and friendly service. Food here is great quality and freshly prepared. My partner is gluten free and this is perfect and almost everything is gf. Great options for vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters. Will be back here soon.

Amazing and tasty Venezuelan food. A cafe with a difference. The tostones were amazing. Really friendly welcome too (you can speak in English or Spanish). Will definitely come back.

Best food in Portsmouth! Have been here many times and have also ordered delivery, every time has been flawless! Amazing flavours and a lovely team! Can’t recommend this place enough!

Just honestly incredible! We visited with friends at their recommendation and were very VERY impressed. I had the beef Arepa and my wife the chicken with avocado. Both were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Couldn’t fault anything as the taste and presentation were faultless. Service was also a real highlight, with all the staff being friendly and smilie. All in all, a fantastic time, and highly deserving of one of my few 5* reviews.

We will definitely be going back again. The food was fantastic and the owners really friendly. Loved it. Well done

Great place, great food super friendly family. Lots of gluten free options. We just loved it! Thank you for receiving us so kindly.

The food was amazing, and super authentic, it's been 15 years since I've tried such amazing Venezuelan food, and the service was amazing recomend for everyone who hasn't tried this type of food 10/10

Best. Food. Ever. Could easily eat arepas every day. Forever. So much flavour. And we were welcomed by the most beautiful lady (possibly the owner?) who was super friendly and looked after us the whole time. Wish I was local I’d ge here every week. Thank you 🙏

Visited on Sunday afternoon with few friends and family, the place looked clean and pleasant with lovely south American music. Meriana the host put us straight away at ease with her lovely smile.. we have ordered arepas and juices and it was all incredibly tasty. There is just a really good vibe inside this place, a blend of Latin music with family passion and amazing food. Will soon be returning!

I ate an arepa and empanada these were very tasty. Good side dishes and all very freshly prepared. The place is also very good and also offers other diverse food.

We’ve visited lots of times at Outside In food court and always order at least one or two bits from Arepa, I love it all and especially the delicious green dip!

This is truly a hidden gem of an amazing eating experience. Flavors are amazing and the freshness of produce is great. It’s a pity that this company is not getting the visitors it needs in the out in eating space in Portsmouth. Go and try it you will not be disappointed.

Picked because of the other reviews we sought the place out. One of several stores in an indie food mall the setting is casual young and simple. Food was ordered by app from the seat. App a bit of a faff to start but once loaded easy to do. Drinks from same app but different stall. So food ... YUM two of us had a beef and stuff arepa one had seafood empinada. All the sauces were delicious meat cooked so it was tender. Seafood was delicious. Worst thing... a bit messy to eat. Best thing happy tummy!

I popped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, as was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious my arepa was. A fluffy yet crispy corn flatbread filled with the complex flavours of slow-cooked beef, savory black beans, sweet plantations, salty cheese and a fantastically fresh avocado corriander dressing. Mine had beef (the Caracas), but there were plenty of great looking vegan choices on the menu. The lads doing the cooking were very friendly and helpful, and for £8.50 this sandwich filled me up all day long. I can't recommend Arepas 2Go highly enough! Do yourself a favour, drop everything and go there now!

Absolutely recommend it!! Freshly prepared, friendly service, and with options for everyone! Gluten free, vegan friendly or meat lovers will enjoy the food at Arepa2Go! My parents in law were delighted with this experience of trying Venezuelan food in a lockdown

I tried the empanadas yesterday and it was great. Fresh, tasty, nice temperature and good size portion... Like the rest of the menu!

Incredible! We'd never tried Venezualan, so took a chance and absolutely loved everything we ordered. We will definitely be coming back!

¡Este lugar es absolutamente imprescindible para probar en Southsea! La comida es muy sabrosa, puedes sentir todos los sabores de todos los ingredientes en el primer bocado. Las raciones son bastante generosas y el personal es muy amable y sirven bastante rápido. Los tenemos para llevar y para comer y en ambas ocasiones la comida fue excelente.Nuestras arepas favoritas son las de Ávila y Caracas, también tienen opciones veganas y sin gluten.Si estás buscando un lugar para probar pura comida venezolana, ve y prueba la arepa 2 go.

I love their arepas! They are very friendly and their food is amazing. Support local and independent - they’re now in the Outside Food court in and worth paying them a visit!

Me encantó la comida, ¡tienen tantas opciones diferentes para todos, incluido el menú para niños! Me encantaron las papas fritas teque os y halloumi. Probamos un par de arepas y debo decir que todas están riquísimas, pero mis favoritas fueron la pelua y las caracas. El personal era encantador, amable y servicial. Definitivamente lo recomendaría a cualquiera, desde grupos familiares hasta una noche informal. ¡No puedo esperar a volver!

Incredibly tasty, delicious and filling food, complemented by friendly and warm staff :) My favourite was the Avila Arepa and their haloumi fries with garlic sauce is something that one should definitely try! 5 stars!

Hemos probado Arepa 2 GO en algunas ocasiones, tanto frescas como a domicilio, y la calidad de la comida siempre ha sido absolutamente increíble. Me encanta el hecho de que las arepas no contienen gluten y los acompañamientos son tan deliciosos: las papas fritas teque os y halloumi eran algunas de nuestras favoritas. Si vive o visita Portsmouth y Southsea, definitivamente debería probarlos, ¡mi nuevo lugar favorito para comer!

Incredible food, super fresh and tasty with an amazing team that deliver great service !!! Thank you, Me and my family will definitely go back ***** 5 stars!

I am a Venezuelan woman and I really appreciate to have such a good restaurant with my favourite meal and drinks from my country near me! Ps. I love tequeños!

Arepa2go is passionate about what they do and the food is amazing. I will always come back to indulge on authentic home-made food from Venezuela. Dare to try! This is definitely for everyone and you won't be disappointed.

the best Venezuelan food! you have to try it! the arepas are amazing and the chicha!!! I go all the time and I am never disappointed. if you want to try a bit of South American delicacy I would 100% recommend. !!

These are the best arepas I've ever tried. I've been almost 20 times already to the Arepa2GO stand and tried all of them. Delicious!!!

the food is sooooo tasty and the people treat you like your proper family!! I can believe you can find a piece of Venezuelan food so far away from home!! I will be back xx

These guys know how to bring South America to wherever they are. The food is incredible - so fresh, filling but not heavy, and most importantly deeeeelicious.They're also beautiful people! A family run business where the love comes through in their personalities as well as the food.Highly recommend!

Family run with so much heart. You can taste all the love they put into their food, always fresh ingredients! Good for vegetarian, vegan and meat eaters alike. X

El lugar es espectacular, lugar familiar, las arepas, tostones, yuca, etc. lo maximo, muy buena calidad de comida típica venezolana. Recomiendo que visiten el lugar, les aseguro que les va a gustar .

Myself and some friends were out recently and headed to the outside in food court, which by the way has a great atmosphere, and we decided to try arepa2go, which is Venezuelan and not what we would normally go for, but it was a great choice, the food was delicious and the staff were excellent, would def go back.....

This is the best Venezuelan food I have ever had, great taste and original flavours. And the service is excellent. Can’t wait to come back.

The best way to experience this Venezuelan delicacy is at Arepa2GO. The arepas are excellent, freshly made with plenty of choice to cater all food preferences. But the highlight is the people; It's a business run by a fantastic family who are always welcoming and happy to share their traditional cuisine with you in a frendly and relaxed in-door market setting. Whether you know the food or you try it for the first time, Arepa2GO is always an experience worth stopping by.

Fresh and tasty. So many different options. Also vegan and vegetarian available. It is the real taste of Venezuelan food. Totally recommended.

I visited Arepa2Go as part of the Southsea food festival (2 weeks ago) and I’ve not stopped thinking about the food. I’ve dreamt about the black bean and plantain arepa. The sweetcorn sauce is incredible, and shouldn’t be missed. I can’t wait to have another.
