Santarepa Cafe

My husband and I visited this restaurant earlier this month, and we were excited to try the Venezuelan menu. We opted for the Sampler Plate. Personally, I was surprised by the small portion size on this plate; it was almost like an appetizer before the main course! Please don't market this plate as a sharing option for two very hungry adults. When we asked if it was enough to share, the lady confirmed that it would be adequate, but unfortunately, it wasn't true. We also ordered Mora and Passion Fruit juices, both of which were delicious. We highly recommend them! As an American-Venezuelan, I left the restaurant still hungry and disappointed. P.S.: If I visit this place again, I'll try individual dishes, and then I'll update my review of this restaurant. For now, this is my current perspective.

This place is the bomb. I *thought* I had the best arepas when I was in Denver. I WAS WRONG! Santarepa is an amazing little gem with remarkably wonderful food. We came in just after a lunch rush & noticed there were a total of 4 employees trying to keep up with the demand of placing orders, making orders and getting orders out to tables. Because of this, we had to wait a bit to have our order taken. When the woman got to us she apologetic about the wait. We also had to wait for them to get food out to the 5-6 tables ahead of us. Understandable and not a big deal! The chicken was cooked perfectly & so were the plantains. Each arepa was stuffed full with goodness. If you are willing to wait for quality food that is damn near life changing, I highly recommend. If you are looking for fast food service for mediocre food, this isn’t the place for you.

Wow! One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. This food was absolutely delicious. If I could give this place a 10 stars I would. I also want to mention the lady at the counter was very friendly. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you much!

“This is the best meal we had all trip” Went with the Super Sampler. More food than 2 could eat, but a fantastic tour of the cuisine. Hostess was very helpful suggesting combinations and things to try. Everything was delicious. Chimichurri and cream sauces were delicious. If I went again I’d get a full arepa and plantains. Easy choice.

So so yummy! Did the sampler #1 with my boyfriend and it was plenty to eat. The one with the flower was my favorite!
