Paparepas Venezuelan Food (Renton)

Paparepas Venezuelan Food in Renton was such a great experience from start to finish. The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented — I had a classic plate with shredded beef, black beans topped with melted cheese, perfectly seasoned white rice, and sweet fried plantains, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The portions were generous and comforting, just like a true Venezuelan meal should be. I also tried one of their refreshing drinks with a tajín rim, which paired perfectly with the food. The service was warm and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to anyone craving real Venezuelan flavors! 🇻🇪✨

What a find! Guasacaca y yuca, arepitas, platanos fritos, ceviche de maracuya, which tapas (appetizers) to choose from?! Signature cocktails are balanced well between spirit and other components. Once done with your cocktails or after sharing main dishes with friends and family, I'd recommend dessert: churros y helado or the Venezuelan quesillo (an airier more textured take on flan). Hidden in plain sight are delicious coffee options like the cortado cubano or lavender latte and some of the best chicken wings we've had which you won't find on the menu, golden crispy neither too oily nor covered in flour - just right!

Our party of four arrived around 5:30 PM on a Wednesday and were the first ones there; things picked up after 6:00 PM, though it remained comfortably busy. Finding the place was a bit tricky—thanks, Google Maps—but the experience was well worth it. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and every single one exceeded expectations. The appetizers, mains, and desserts were fantastic—highlights included the Camarones al Ajillo, Salmon, and Al Pastor. The Tequenos and Fried Plantains were great starters, but the desserts stole the show: the Churros were decadently filled with cream and paired with ice cream, the Pistachio Cloud tart was delicious, and the Quesillo tasted just like my mom's. Cilantro sauce is a must try! We even took some to-go orders because we enjoyed the food so much. While we

Ok so it wasn't really 5 stars in my book but it seems the food in the greater Seattle area isn't very good so this place was outstanding by default. Great atmosphere and service. The pork and cheddar arepa was very nice, the meat was very moist and flavorful. Also got chicken and avocado. The only problem I have wirh the arepas is they the ingredients aren't really stacked on each other.. They're put in separately so you have to premix the stuff so every bite you get meat and cheese or chicken and avocado. Also got a shredded beef empanada.. It's quite different from Mexican empanada as it's less bready. Got the shrimp.. Creamy garlic and citrusy. Fried plantains were a hit with my kid but the cream wasn't really sweet.. It was just cream. So yeah get an arepa, share a main meal.. It's en

Love returning here. Get the platanos fritos (sweet plantains). Get the camarones al ajillo (garlic shrimp). Get the ceviche de maracuya (fresh rockfish). Get the asado negro (steak sauce so good with the sauce or habanero sauce!). End up with a meal where every bite is amazing. This location is really good for sit down & date night. Always good vibes every time I come here. Romantic lighting & stellar atmosphere with music. I continue to return here even though I’m trying to try new restaurants!!! I requested my plantanos to be cut smaller so it’s more crisp! Yum!
