  “My first time trying Venezuelan food. The taste was decent with a variety of flavors. The quality and portion size were both very good, making it a satisfying experience overall.”

  “Arepas were not made fresh; they seemed to come from some sort of prepackaged bag, and this really affected the flavour. The fillings were nice, but it was a mix of Mexican and Venezuelan, and for me it wasn’t authentic enough. I took a friend with me to try Venezuelan food for the first time, and the experience was just okay. They also have some fake display on site of how the food may look, but it’s not very appealing to the eye.”

  “I visited their pop-up location outside the The Leadenhall Building in London and was keen to try the loaded fries. I paid £12.50 and had them topped with shredded chicken and garlic sauce. I have never been so disappointed with something that shouldn't be that complex to make flavoursome. The whole thing was bland, the chips had no seasoning and none of the toppings tasted of anything, not even the chicken. I ended up throwing half of it away. For £12.50, and considering they've won an award, I cannot understand how something so simple, can be made that badly.”

  “I am well versed in Venezuelan food and was disappointed to find that the shredded chicken for my arepa was served cold and that the corn meal was not warm and crisp, as is traditional, but was cold, thick and bready. The guacamole did not taste fresh. The sweet potato tempera however was amazing with great seasoning and the garlic and hot sauces were so good with them.”

  “This Southbank venue is a must visit. The staff is lovely, has excellent recommendations, and lets you sample the fillings if you’re an indecisive doughnut like me. The texture of these arepas is divine and the fillings are rich and flavourful. The sweet potato tempuras are light, fluffy, and beautifully crispy. A perfect side for any arepa you’d choose.”

  “I had a beef arepa on its own for £10. I throughly enjoyed this arepa and reminded me of how my mom used to make it. I did find it a bit messy to eat but they gave me a fork and bowl and mostly messy because they filled it as much as possible! Quality ingredients and not greasy but full of flavour. Staff were polite and switched out the avocado and plantain for black beans. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend.”

  “There are lots of food kiosks in this courtyard behind the Royal Festival Hall. Still Pabellon gets good reviews and I'd say that they are deserved as you'll pick up a solid meal from this stall. The sweet potato tempura is perhaps the weakest part as ours were mostly crispy shell but the main meal of beef arepa was pretty spot on and tasty. It's a good spot for lunch here and diners are definitely spoilt for choice!”

  “Excellent Venezuelan vegan food market stall as part of Southbank Centre Food Market. I have first ever experience with Venezuelan food and it is one of the best I have ever had. Good portion, succulent and juicy taste, with an incredibly generous addition of cheese. Very nice service.”

  “My first experience with Venezuelan cuisine and it was AMAZING! Tried their chicken arepa - freshly baked corn bread buns filled with a generous stuffing of slow-cooked spicy chicken along with avocado, tomato, onion, and cheese. An absolute flavor bomb. With a side of crispy sweet potato fries that are to die for! Definitely coming back for more.”
