Oh Corn! Arepas - Venezuelan restaurant in Troy - 429 River St, USA

Nice to see some vegan options at this Venezuelan place. The arepas were good, there was a large variety of vegan toppings (mushrooms, chickpeas, vegetables, beans, plantains, etc.) The food was a bit greasy. B- (decently good).

Hidden gem! This place is an ideal spot for a date if you are into trying amazing Venezuelan food! The food here is delicious and I’m in love with all the sauces they have! Their beef empanadas are must haves! Staff is great and helps you navigate the menu if you need it. Service was quick and easy on the pocket!

We just finished our family brunch and got back to the hotel. With not much to do outside in winter, I thought I’d write a review for the Venezuelan food we just ate. We LOVE the food, my 9-yr daughter who has already developed appetite and criteria for food, commented she could eat there all day long! Everything from the appetizer, to drink, coffee and dessert is delicious! And I wanted to add, all the custom-made sauces are fresh and tasty! The owner was very attentive. Not many customers around at that time, we were able to have a conversation about the food and the place. He showed us the ingredient in its original form and told us how the specific foods are prepared in different ways. My 9-yr old enjoyed it so much. Also, the art pieces created by the family member are so authentic and interesting, adding so much flare to the place. Thanks for giving us a wonderful food and culture experience on our trip! We’ll be back for more!

Visited from NYC and had a craving for some comfort food and this gem did not disappoint. We had the cachapas and chicken filled arepas!! Sooo good!! The fresh pineapple juice sealed the deal!!

Love it here! Arepas are delicious and rice and chicken in really good too. Been going here since they were in CP, still go to them in troy even though its a little farther from me. Still worth the trip!

10/10 Recommend. We went here while scouting wedding venues (we live in BK) and had a delicious, filling and speedy table-service lunch. We had the Vegan Queen and Vegan Maduros arepas. They were fantastic and paired perfectly with the house made sauces that accompany them. A must-visit for all eaters (lots of meat and cheese options) who want that burger-and-fries feeling from something that’s not a burger and fries.

I tried oh corn arepas and ordered the chispazo which comes with chickpeas, mushrooms and plantains. There was no plantains on the arepas and the mushrooms were either canned or from a jar which was highly disappointing and overall lacked flavor. the beans were amazing the tostones were ok. All and all it was ok, just ok. If the mushrooms would have been fresh and if my arepa wasnt lacking the plantains it comes with, it would have made the experience better.. I'd go back for the beans!...in response to your reply, I did not eat there, so knowing my meal was takeout it should have been double checked before being served to me. It shouldn't be the customers responsibility to make sure all is correct when making a takeout order.

Lovely establishment serving yummy gluten free / dairy free empanadas ( unfortunately only served during the day). The yuca fries are always crispy and pair well with the verde sauce. I also enjoyed the soup of the day. The staff are always helpful when placing an order.
