Papelón in Kensington and Chelsea

a must try! bought one, went back for another one ❤️

Never had a cachapa before, DELICIOUS! Good ingredients and portion- lovely and friendly owner!

1st time trying Venezuelan food and it did not disappoint. Definitely recommend the Con Todo every component was delicious from the plantain to the Cachapa. Signature sauces were chefs kiss wished I had more!

Honestly, the best gluten free meal I've had in months.... .... Ive been back 3 /4 times, their Con Todo has never disappointed

The best tequeños I have eaten in London and also with a great variety of food!!! I will definitely return to try more things on the menu. My #1 place for Venezuelan food in the UK, 100% recommended!

I thought for long what kind of review should I write, but I think if I leave a max stars and say 'AWESOME' it will speak for itself! Wow...

I had Pabellon Cachapa today and it was so delicious! I have worked near Ladbroke Grove for a few years and unfortunately I have never been here but thankfully I made the most of it by coming to Papelon. The service and food are top notch. Thank you!!

Great cachapas! Generous, tasty... just so yummy!!

I knew NOTHING about Venezuelan cuisine until I came across Papelón's stall at the Acklam street market. And that the cachapa, a kind of "venezuelan kebab" was a PURE REVELATION! Melt-in-the-mouth meat, gluten-free because the cachapa cake is made from corn, plantains and a salsa verde... just stunning. It's simple: this is my favourite street food place in London.

Today was my first time trying cachapas and I was greatly satisfied. The meat was packed with flavor and the sauces added a bit of kick to it. Would definitely try it again the next time I'm in Nottinghill 😀

My first time having food from Venezuelan food and didn’t disappoint, the food was all made fresh and the corn bread was too good!

Amazing place great food woooow

Very detailed explanation of ingredients provided by staff made us love it even more! Really fresh ingredients and very yummy

Best Venezuelan street food I’ve ever had!! Couldn’t recommend more! The staff are so friendly too!

Just unbelievably good. Tried them at the hackney wick British street food awards.

Incredible food! The best arepas in Notting Hill 😍 I will definitely come back

Delicious!!! Seriously good - thank you

Gio, your food is exceptional. Venezuelan street food, all gluten free, and yes “Venezuelans perfected the avocado sauce.” We have 1 day in London/Notting Hill and we’re coming back for seconds! Hope to see Papelón everywhere, but first LOS ANGELES!

Very kind and friendly staff, the best lunch of the week's holiday in London

Delicious Venezuelan Cachapas at Portobello Market I had an incredibly tasty cachapa with perfectly cooked dough and melted cheese. The authentic flavour was spot on, and the friendly staff made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

It is by far the best place to eat in Portobello, the cachapa is simply Amazing! Giovan is the best host and he is super friendly. I would give more stars if possible. 10/10

Food fine, but quite pricey. Nice location with a view of Portobello Market

It was my first time having Venezuelan food and it was incredible! I had the cachapas with cheese, plantain and pork. It was fantastic!!! I was blown away!!!

My daughter and I often have the pabelon. It is delicious. The corn pancakes are very tasty and the fillings generous. Would highly recommend.

Incredible customer service, and next level food!!! Super recommended!! Gluten-free options worth trying!!

Amazing! Gluten free and delicious!

First time having this and it was awesome! Great filling Venezuelan food that’s filling and gluten free.

The girl was super friendly and the cachapa was spectacular, totally recommended and a very successful flavor, which takes you to Venezuela in one bite.

To repeat. The food was delicious and the customer service was spectacular. I recommend it 100%

He said they were going to be the best cachapas we were going to eat and he was right!!! The best, please try them!!!! 😍

I tried these for the first time last Saturday at Portobello market. The guy at the till was really nice and advised me on what to order. All freshly made as you order and the stand seemed clean and the whole process followed good hygiene standards. The food tasted really good and i will certainly be back to try the meat option as well.

This is a most try if you never have done Venezuelan Food. We Will come back any time. Your mouth Will Dance tango from the first to last bite.

Amazing food, great ambience and friendly people. My friend described the cachapa as “like dying and coming back to life”, highly recommend getting avocado too

Do yourself a favor and try this food ! 🤩🍀 You walk into a market full of good looking and smelling food, don’t know where to go and what to choose. Just until you’ll meet this big smiling and friendly man who invites you to taste a small bite from his local food and YOU’RE SOLD! 🤩 omg this food taste soo good! Something I haven’t tried before but for sure want more of. Especially the veggie version is recommendable 😋☀️

DE-LI-CIOUS! I had cachapa "con todo" and it was super tasty! The cachapa on its own was amazing too! It is literally the first time I go to a market stall for venezuelan food and I truly enjoy it! Plus the service was very good too! Ps: I went to the food market in Chiswick

We live nearby and come here frequently. It’s so delicious, I am struggling to put it into words, do not miss the opportunity to eat this amazing food. Con Todo 👩‍🍳🤌 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

SO GOOOD! 5 out 5 100% tasty and delicious

Seriously good food and amazing service

This food really makes you feel at home and fills your heart, truly delicious 😍 I recommend it!

As a Venezuelan citizen, I must say that my visit to Papelon today was a delightful trip down memory lane. I had the pleasure of trying the "Cachapa con Todo," and it was absolutely delicious! This traditional dish, filled with cheese, shredded beef, black beans, avocado, plantains and topped with a tasty guasacaca sauce, was a true explosion of flavors. A special mention goes to the owner, Giovan, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. His passion for sharing Venezuelan cuisine shone through, and his warm hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I’ve never had cachapas. After eating at papeIón I now love cachapas. Easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given.

Delicious thing and this! Not to be missed, I mean if or if you have to eat this at least once in your life. ❤️❤️❤️

Never tried cachapas before but OMFG it was the best thing I've ever eaten, went their twice within 30 mins to get more and there were other customers doing the same, they have a reservation in heaven for the food they feed their customers. The staff were also the best, I will never forget this eating experience, perhaps a feeling that can never be replicated.

First arepa ever. Loved it. It will not be my last!

This ven ezuelan food is incredible. It is totally recomending Cachapa Con Todo, because is really an incredible dish

Amazing Venezuelan food and the guys working the stall are super friendly. Some of the best Latin food I’ve had three years living in London!

Stumbled on this place at Portobello Road Market by chance today and I’m so glad I did! One of the best things I’ve ever eaten and I’m already trying to figure out when I can go next! The guy working the stall was super friendly and the food was 10/10!

Great food, easy to eat and walk. Will be back. Gracias chavales, Un placer. 10/10

Highly recommended. The best cachapas tried so far, they told us that they would soon be in Madrid/Barcelona and I hope so. Quality product, very tasty.

Super delicious food, I had their traditional Venezuelan cachapa. Service is so friendly and welcoming as well. Recommend to anyone!

The best cachapa we have ever eaten, and the guy was very friendly. Super recommended.

Great place, friendly, lovely and family run.

The best cachapas I have eaten in a long time, I come from Spain and I have not gotten anything like it. How cool it is to travel and get delicacies from your land wherever you go. Success guys;

It is the best cachapa in all of London. The attention is great.

Increíbles! High quality food cooked there and then! Tried the "con todo" and will be back for more. Service with a smile

I ordered the Cachapa traditional and it tastes delicious! I definitely suggest going!

One of the best things i‘ve ever eaten in my life!!!! MUST TRY! mil gracias ❤️

Mindblowingly good and tasty food. Had the one with everything, the pulled beef was super tender and succulent. All served with a smile, would definitely come back for this.

One of the best thing I ever tried! Would definitely recommend :)

Absolutely LOVED this spot!!! 🥹🫶🏼 It was me and my husband’s first time trying cachapa and it’s was soo worth it. We definitely recommend Papelon to everybody looking for authentic Venezuelan street food in London. 10/10 - delicious food and amazing service 🤩💕

I understand why this place has a rating of 5.0. It was my first time having Venezuelan food and all I can say is wow, it was so bloody good!! I highly recommend getting the cachapa with all the toppings. Also, great service!!

Amazing! The hot sauce was really delicious. Everything is *chefs kiss

Amazing food !!! Highly recommend!! Incredible staff 💛💙❤️

Best real authentic food with great cook 🧑‍🍳 just perfect. Get the con todo for 11.50, you will love it, mouthwatering 😋

The best cachapa in the whole world served by the friendly Giovan, Juan and Johanna 👌🏻😋 A must try!

Being a Venezuelan I need to admit this is the best cachapa place I’ve tried in London. The food is fresh, good amount for the price and enough fillings. I will definitely come back again when I crave for cachapas.

We discovered them in the Portobello streetmarket, they are great, they treat you wonderfully and the food was spectacular.

Amazing and delicious cachapas !!!

We ordered a cachapa, a very kind and friendly guy. The cachapa was incredible, with all the ingredients. I highly recommend going to this place!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Best Venezuelan place in London! Highly recommended! Very sweet people and delicious Cachapa!

The best cachapa in London, attentive, friendly and super pleasant service

Good choice of street food, the cachapa is sweet and not big portion

Very good cachapa, 100% gluten free!

The best cachapas in Europe. Incredible attention and exquisite flavor.

Super good, very nice seller, who lets you taste it, try the hot sauce, it adds some pep without being too strong!

Great Venezuelan food. Genuine flavours cooked by Venezuelan people.

Amazing authentic Venezuelan food, that is great every time! We have been coming here for many years and it never disappoints. Giovan and his team are always friendly.

Fantastic Venezuelan cachapas. Beautifully seasoned and soft pulled feed with melting cheese goodness, black beans and avocado in a corn pancake. Don't miss out!! Super delicious, and Giovan is so friendly.

Those cachapas were the best things in the market! Light and super tasty

The owner let us try the food before we got one with everything (last option on the menu) and we were so positively surprised. We never had Venezuelan street food, it seems we missed out! The cheese, beans, avocado and the sauces fit very well with the warm corn pancake.

Delicious! One of the best street food spots at Portobello Road Market!

Comida riquísima, muy buen rollo y genial el trato

When I was about to order, they said to me: “These are the best cachapas in Europe” And honestly, they probably are. SOOO yummy and truly with a traditional flavor. The people serving are super nice. Would recommend 100%

These guys never disappoint, as a Venezuelan that has been far from home for many years now, the taste of their cachapas is just exactly what you need when looking for that home taste 😍 thank you so much again, 100% recommend this place!

Absolutely delicious. We often have walked from our home in Camden to come and get these

Lovely arepas, great service! Super recomended

Gallegas en Londres que, tras 5 días en la ciudad, ambas coincidimos que lo mejor de allí fue esto! Qué ricooooo y qué personal tan amable y atento! 10/10

I am IN LOVE with this Venezuelan place! It is delicious, fair money for the good quality - guys speak like 3 languages and are super nice and welcoming! This is my go-to when I’m in Portobello. Super recommended!

Nice service and tasty food, we will come back :)

Las mejores arepas de londres. El sabor de la cachapa como si estuviera hecha en casa

Best food in Portobello market and the team is great

Exquisita comida venezolana! En el mercado de Portobello. Recomiendo las arepas, son enormes y muy sabrosas, hechas con productos frescos. Felicito a sus dueños por la calidad y la buena onda con la que trabajan! Si vuelvo a Londres, volveré! (La arepa de la izquierda es de este local, mira la diferencia con la de otro local)

Las fotos hablan por si solas comida 20 de 10.

Comida muy rica, trato amable y buen precio, recomendable 100/100, tuvimos que repetir porque la experiencia gastronómica fue genial. Además, del buen ambiente, si vienes a Londres debes pasar a comer en este sitio.

Excelente comida venezolana sin gluten!! Una muy buena opción para comer en Portobello market. Cantidad generosa.

My favourite meal in London! Warm and lovely people and the food is delicious!

Amazing food, really good and fast service! We also had a really nice chat (in italian!) about how the served meal came to be made, using traditional Venezuelan techniques and creating something never seen before! Highly recommended - I am going for another one!

I had the Con Todo with a mix of chicken and beef - it was fantastic. The pancake has corn and they add cheese with it, together with the avocado and sauce I don’t know what else to say other than you have to try it… I’ve not had much South American or Venezuelan food before but this makes me want to go there and I wonder how not everyone in the country is fat… super friendly staff as well to make the experience a proper 10/10. Do try!

Muy buenas las cachapas con todo, excelente trato son amor de personas 🫶🏻sigan asiiiii repetiría sin duda alguna 😉

Everything was great. Thanks for bringing this quality to London.
