Ceci's Arepa Joint - Venezuelan restaurant in East Meadow - 503B Newbridge Rd, USA

I recently tried some empanadas and they were absolutely amazing! The crust was perfectly crispy and flaky, and the fillings were so flavorful. I loved the variety of options like steak, chicken, and cheese. Highly recommend trying them out! Service is quick too 😌

This place is a must … for all the arepa lovers out there you have to try this place . I had an arepa called the joint and is was absolutely amazing blasting with flavor and you can tell it was made with love definitely come back to this place

I researched this place because of some great Venezuelan food my fiancé and I had in UK; however, the food choices here are a bit different; nonetheless, it is also delicious. I am definitely eating here again, but up have to do so moderation, or I'll be 500lbs by the end of summer. The natural drinks are delicious and not full of sugar. I had the passion fruit juice, which was absolutely refreshing.

Hidden gem. So fresh and good quality. The empanadas are the best around without a doubt. Also love the platters with cheese added on top of the beans. The platter with the arepas already comes with cheese. We love the steak and also the chicken. Both very flavorful and not dry. The steak is cooked great and no fat or lumps of meat sticking together like the other place nearby. We also found this place to be far less greasy than any others.

The best garlic shrimp on top Avocado in the banana shells. The best beef empanadas I have never eaten. You all must try this place...very clean place especially the restroom. It is a hidden gem.

Off the hook!!! Best authentic arepas I've found all around. Am so glad I found this spot. The food is so tasty 😋. Omg I love their green sauce that goes with the arepas. This got the spot 4me. 😁👍❤️ I love how clean the place is and the home-feel atmosphere which includes a cool music reel. Thank you 🙏 (sorry have no photos because I ate it all)

When you're craving arepas or cachapas and you're in LI, definitely dine here. It's worth it. The staff was friendly. Service was efficient. The restaurant is very clean, spacious, and does offer a couple tables to dine in. I tried the birria flight and the chicken flight to "sample" the arepas. They were both delicious, as well as the sauces served with it. As for the full arepas, I got The Machu Arepa (shrimp & avocado) and La Mona Arepa (pulled chicken). Both were delicious and very filling. Tried the chicken and cheese empanadas, which had a delicious sweet corn and flour blend crust. Great that there's another restaurant on LI to get authentic arepas and cachapas. There's enough parking available at this location. Will dine here again and try other dishes.

This place is sooo good. You can tell that everything is fresh and homemade. This is the only Venezuelan spot that's close to where I live and it does not disappoint. Ever since I tried Venezuelan food outside the state I've been wishing for a place near by. I got the joint arepa which was very filling with and agua panela. I also got the cheesy cachapa. Wich is a mix of savory and sweet. You get the saltiness of the cheese with the sweetness of the corn. It is on the expensive side but it is justified
