Zetta's Arepas Bistro — Restaurant in Cliffside Park

My husband and I just had the pleasure of dining at Zetta’s Arepas Bistro, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff is extremely friendly, and the ambiance was fresh, clean, cozy, with great music playing in the background.

The real winner is the delicious food! We started with the Tequeños, which were crispy, warm, and filled with gooey cheese. For the main course, we had the Arepas de Pabellón Criollo filled with perfectly seasoned shredded beef, black beans, cheese, and sweet yellow plantains. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and you could taste the care and attention to detail in every bite.

Their specialty desserts were a perfect way to end the meal. We tried La Marquesa de Chocolate and quesadilla, both of which were rich, decadent, and delicious. We also had the chance to try the La Chicha and La Tizana, which were both refreshing and full of flavor.

The service was excellent—everyone was so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. If you're looking for an authentic Venezuelan experience with fresh ingredients and top-notch service, my husband and I highly recommend Zetta’s Arepas Bistro. You won’t be...

I just left the place. I liked the food the first time I tried it during their opening and came back. However during my visit today I noticed that they were disorganized, at least with the orders, I ordered food to go and the server gave my food to someone who was dining in. The girl at the front desk was in a mood and was giving me an attitude, then got into an uncomfortable situation with the cook and left to the back of the restaurant slamming the door. I waited extra time for my food to be prepared again, because of their lack of communication and organization. The girl who took my order at the counter has no customer service etiquete and wasn’t nice at all. Will probably come back for the food only if I find a different server. I’m a bit disappointed, but at least Laura came to address the issue even though it had nothing to do with her and offered an apology on behalf of her coworker. Thank you Laura for showing a little bit of empathy and trying to amend...

The stuffed arepas did not disappoint! We tried their chicken and shredded beef ones. I paired this with their Venezuelan cola (my first time ever trying this). It’s more on the sweet side than the soda side, if that’s your sort of thing.

The kind waitress offered us a new dish they had on the menu, we passed on it this time. It looked and sounded good though, we’ll definitely give it a try next time. Our son was with us, so we had to order his favorite cheese tequeño. (We’ve had them before at another Venezuelan restaurant) These were just as good and the sauces it comes with are spectacular. Don’t pass up on the white sauce, that one is my favorite!

I did like how the space is very welcoming and accommodating to families. We will definitely...
