Crowd-pleasing Venezuelan comfort food with generous arepas, lively patio, and happy hour deals; expect occasional service delays and added service charges.
Our take
Rica Arepa delivers solid neighborhood dining through excellent food quality and a charming heated patio that anchors its appeal. However, inconsistent execution on steak and fried items and recurring service delays during peak hours prevent a higher grade. The generous portions and happy hour value make it competitive with respected local favorites, though it falls short of the area's premier dining destinations.
One caveat: Food can take a long time at peak; plan accordingly
