Carolicious Venezuelan Food

This amazing hole-in-the-wall has been one of the highlights of restaurants we have tried in the Cambridge, MA area; from their fun, savory handheld arepas to their hearty bowls. We heard about this restaurant by word of mouth, and I can see why. This restaurant is tucked away in a corner of the town and down an obscure road that no one would find. This unexpected hidden gem is well worth your time! We ordered the Pelua (spiced beef + cheese) and Pork + Pico de Gallo Arepas as well as the Pork Pabellon bowl. The Arepas were fantastic! The beef + cheese arepa satisfied those salty/meaty/cheesy cravings while the pork + pico de gallo was more refreshing. We loved both of them so much. For people who don’t know what an arepa is, it is like a taco sandwich (analogies won’t do this description justice, just try it). With either pork or beef sandwiched between a cornmeal “bun”, the arepa is a fantastic and fun dish that I think people will enjoy! The bowl was a surprisingly large amount of food for the price, certainly a great deal for all the ingredients included, and had all the same flavors as the arepas. While it was also excellent, we definitely preferred the arepas and will order more of them in the future. We loved the artistic and relaxed vibe of the courtyard and will certainly return in the future. It is an excellent place to visit with friends and family or on a date! This place is a hidden restaurant wonder and we highly recommend it!!

We ordered Carolicious catering for a company event, as our employees have loved eating at Carolicious every day. I was greeted with a warm phone call helping me ensure I had the right amount of food for the group, and offering to come onsite and serve the group so that we could have custom made-to-order bowls. They showed up early and set up, everything was extremely clean and organized, their energy was infectious, and they brought extra just in case (which we did end up needing!) which was extremely helpful. It was the biggest hit all year, and everything was delicious. We will absolutely be inviting them back for more catering events.

Tried this Venezuelan arepa and what a comforting, flavorful bite. The shredded chicken was perfectly seasoned, the black beans added heartiness, and that creamy sauce brought it all together. Plus, the warm, laid-back atmosphere made it even better. This place is definitely a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Venezuelan comfort food.
