Ceci's Arepa Joint

I went to this shopping center for Ralph’s but I’m so glad I stumbled upon this place! The guy in the front explained the menu very well. They have a very creative selection of arepas. My husband got the joint on cachapa. He’s Venezuelan and said this is the closest to homemade cachapas in Venezuela. I’m so glad he liked it because he’s usually very picky about Venezuelan food. I got a sampler flight, which are mini arepas with shredded beef chicken and cheese. I just wanted a little bite, but they were actually quite filling. We can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

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.

Small but clean place, you order and pay and they bring the order to your table in plastic containers.
Very tasty cachapas and arepas, really good 👍 😋

So many menu options, it was hard to choose what to get. Everything we got was so good, I can't wait to come back and try another dish!

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.
