The food was delicious, I had arepa de pabellón and tequeños. To lick your fingers as we Venezuelans say. Every bite took me back to my country. The owner and staff are super friendly, I would definitely return!!!!!

The ambience of salsa night was perfect to go with some Venezuelan food, the Arepa was AMAZING, really the most flavour packed in to a bite that I've had here. Hope I can return one day and will be recommending to all my manchester based friends!

There are few places where you can taste the love they put into the food when making it... and at Mia's arepas YOU FEEL IT! I tried arepa pabellón and arepa la chama... too divine. And the UNBEATABLE service. Thank you for everything Mía and Kevin, how nice to find people who praise Venezuelan gastronomy.

Incredible place. I came here because the menu is 99% gluten free, I’ve never eaten Venezuelan food before. The lovely guy talked me through how gluten and cross contamination is handled and how seriously they take it (there’s only thing on the menu that contains gluten and that’s kept in its own little fryer!) The staff member (wish I’d got his name!) was so kind and very passionate about his food, he explained unfamiliar ingredients to me like plantains which was lovely and told me how to make my own arepas. The food was divine, absolutely stuffed to the brim but still manageable to eat in public! There were so many amazing flavours, it truly was “a sensation!” I wish I lived closer to Manchester to get more, I just want to work my way through the menu now - arepas are all I can think about haha It was a little tricky to find at first, having never been to Freight Island before but turn right as soon as you’re in the main building and it’s a few stalls down :) Thank you for gorgeous food guys!

I was having a wander around Freight Island and came across this place. The owner (that’s who I assume it was, anyway) came out to greet a friend and I before insisting that we try Venezuelan food. We were charmed and so placed an order. I’m pretty sure I chose the Chicken Deluxe Arepas. It was decent, but perhaps a bit too pricey at £10.50. It was more of a big snack than a substantial meal. If you’re at Freight during a busy time, I’d recommend popping to this eatery. There was some sort of lasagne stall that had a one-hour wait; we received our food in a little over ten minutes.

Simply unreal, being Colombian we have our own arepas and had high expectations as the last filled arepa I had was in Cartagena Colombia. Vicky’s Arepa blew me away with the freshness of the avocado salad to the the deliciously tender slow cooked meat balanced with the sweet plantain and the freshly cooked arepa. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The meat empanada was also good.

Literally one of my favourite places! Mia is so kind and wonderful! I have celiac so it is usually hard for me to find quick gluten free hot food in town but Mia told me the arepas are naturally gluten free and now I go every single time I am nearby! The food is amazing and the empanadas are one of my favourites. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to go recently as I have been sick but Mia always recognises me and is wonderful (as always) when I come! Great service and amazing food!!!

I had wanted to come here for a long time but felt it was disappointing. I had the truffle burger which had far too much mayo in & not a lot of flavour. My partner had the chilli burger which was a lot nicer. We felt the prices were too high given what you got (£15 for a burger only - we felt it wouldn’t be a huge overhead to throw some chips on the plate for that price given the prices in the rest of the city). Service was okay but not overly friendly. It’s also a little confusing upon entering as the sign above the door says Hinterland. I’d be hard pressed to return given the choice.

Well. Went to your lovely restaurant Saturday evening. Ready for a delicious Italian meal,as your reviews stated. Didn't happen. We stood at the waiting point for at least 20 minutes,and know one came to seat us or acknowledge that we were there. I'm a great believer in customer service,which this was not. I left with my party,due to this lack of customer service. I recommend that you either employ a front of house person or have your staff stay at the front of house so this doesn't happen again. Pluss this was my experience,not saying its everyone's experience. You weren't busy. It wasn't full. Obviously not returning.
