Best WLM Reviews

A home style combination of hispanic and middle eastern cuisine meets in the best way at Are-Pitas. Come here for warm and hearty food, as their lengthy menu invites you to try everything. I will definitely continue to come back here.
Venezuelan and Lebanese are an odd but delicious combination.
This is a casual, modestly priced diner near the USF campus with ample seating and a varied menu. There are no boring burgers here.
We had the chicken shwarma and the Venezuela arepa. Both items were flavorful, hot, and made with fresh ingredients. Portions were plentiful.
Service was fast and friendly.
The location was a little difficult to find. It's in a tiny strip mall behind an apartment building.
The unusual name Are-pita is a combination of arepa and pita -- two mainstays on the menu. Both are favorite foods of the owner.
Cons: only one. There was an odd smell that offset the delicious food aroma. Maybe from the salon next door or the AC or the bathroom? The place was very clean and tidy, so the source was not apparent.
Great food, excellent environment, warm and friendly folks. My husband and I came across this restaurant as we were driving in the plaza deciding where to eat. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left the staff was absolutely amazing. Janet was super helpful, friendly and patient with us as we took our time in deciding on what to order. Their food is FANTASTICALLY delicious, wonderfully balanced and flavorful. The preparation was done with attentiveness to details - just look at the photos! Their falafel was delicious and the pulled chicken platter was full of flavor. Highly recommend this restaurant you won't be disappointed! ????????????
Rare find!! Lebanese and Venezuelan cuisine done the traditional way ???????? Very delicious ???? We had to try a few empanadas, as well! The Chicken, beef and cheese empanadas were to die for ???? The staff was so friendly and helped us navigate the menu by giving us samples and comparisons to food we're familiar with. Awesome service!! The fresh fruit juices are amazing and will compliment any dish you eat ????
As a Venezuelan with high standards for food, I can confidently say this restaurant serves the most authentic Venezuelan food in the area, which is why we chose them to do the catering for my wedding and the whole experience was exceptional! From the planning and coordination stage, Orselis was very patient and always available to answer all of my questions. She also accommodated all of my requests to meet my vision for the wedding, from presentation to equipment to cutlery and plates designs, etc. You can tell she truly cares about her clients. The day of the wedding, Orselis and her team did not only serve the Venezuelan food, but also served the Filipino menu to my guests and even took care of serving the cake, which we had provided separately. They were so professional, punctual, friendly and kind with everyone, and the food was so delicious my guests are still raving about it. Thank you so much for everything you did for us ♥️???????????????? 100% recommended!
Very nice and tasty food. Outdoor seating available. Kid friendly. Very courteous and friendly staff. USF Students get 10% off on Mondays and Fridays.
If I lived in Florida, I’d visit this place often so I could try every item on the menu. I ordered the arepa filled with meat and cheese. Delicious! The green sauce on the side was a great complement. If I could eat more, I’d have order another one. The girl explained the dish when asked. She was really nice and the tables were clean. I recommend this place.
BEYOND DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS, JANET the chef makes outstanding humus. ANDREA is amazing! Healthy Delicious fusion of Lebabese and Venezuelan delights!!!!!! Amazing staff ,friendly and dedicated! Super cool , refreshing and tasty! More extensive Menu on their Website! All the staff are friendly courteous and just amazing!
