About

 El Arepazo is dedicated to the arepa, a round, gluten-free cornbread sandwich that is stuffed with a variety of meats, cheeses, veggies, and salsas. We wanted to celebrate the recipes handed down from our grandparents, and incorporate the diverse flavors we found all around us in multicultural Kensington Market. All of El Arepazo’s food is healthy, locally sourced, fresh, and delicious. We’re always adding new items and innovating our classics so stay tuned!

 We are now offering quick delivery to the downtown core. Call 647 472 1011

 New winter hours are in effect; we’re open late Friday and Saturday until 1am. We also provide the food for Handlebar at 159 Augusta Ave, open till 2am.

History

 Evolving from a dream to sell home made burgers to a lemonade stand, through both good and bad luck and many turbulent partnerships, at the right time the opportunity came together for El Arepazo to get a tentative start! As word of mouth began to spread about the delicious arepas coming out of a food stand Kensington Market, El Arepazo grew to become a destination for tourists and Torontonians alike.

 After one explosive summer, we decided to spread our wings and open up an entire restaurant. Wanting to stay in our beloved Kensington Market, we found the perfect spot, a bright open-concept space at 181 Augusta avenue, across from Belleview Park. Little by little we made it our own, a place to express our particularly Venezuelan joy of getting together with good friends for a feast.

 El Arepazo is constantly undergoing improvements to meet the needs and desires of Toronto’s health and quality conscious citizens, and offer an ever more welcoming and comfortable refuge in the heart of the city.

AREPAS

The arepa is a flat, round cornbread which is a prominent staple of Venezuelan and Colombian cuisine. Arepas are either baked of fried, cut in half like a pita and filled with a variety of meats, vegetables, cheeses, and sauces. They are made to be eaten by hand, and one is usually big enough to satisfy the average person.

El Arepazo’s arepas are gluten free and hand crafted before your eyes. All the ingredients are fresh, healthy, and locally sourced, and they come with our homemade guasacaca avocado sauce and spicy salsa roja. The arepa makes a savory and crispy shell for all your favorite flavors!

 

You can have your arepa grilled or fried, mix it up and choose your own toppings, turn any arepa into a cachapa or platter, or choose from our menu of featured recipes!

All arepas can be made into slider sizes at half the price!

    Testimonial”

    Tuvimos el gusto de ir hoy a almorzar a Él Arepazo, fue una experiencia maravillosa, están estrenando local, el cual es bellísimo y confortable. Y ni qué decir de la atención! "Fue uno A," las Arepas espectaculares, no sólo en sabor sino en su presentación. Un sitio lindo para disfrutar de las delicias de las Arepas Venezolanas, Hallacas postres etc.

    Beatriz Mejia

    Arepas from here to Tenerife! So big, stuffed, crispy, creamy and jucy. Sweet plantains and fried golden yuca with sauce is the boom too. The place is run by a young hot couple, it is clean, artsy and jaming with salsa music all day long. Situated in the hip cultural vortex of Kensington market this traditional venezualn food joint is a must to try out.

    Delicious "sazón" to die for! Best taste of Arepas in the city for sure!
