Lively Venezuelan spot in Brixton Village with flavorful arepas, great plantains, and warm service; expect small, bustling space, occasional service delays, and some dishes that read mild for spice-seekers.
Arepa & Co delivers solid Venezuelan comfort dining with strong food quality anchored by standout plantains, tequeños, and yuca fries, plus attentive, friendly service. However, inconsistent execution—with some arepas reported as bland or dry—prevents higher grades, and the small, crowded market setting creates occasional service delays. Excellent value through lunch deals and the £30 tasting menu makes this a worthwhile neighborhood discovery for Venezuelan food seekers.
One caveat: Occasional long waits and missing basics (water, napkins) during peak hours
