Paparepas Venezuelan Food (Renton) - (Near Renton, WA)

5 /5 Mavey Ma: 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!

4 /5 Diego Cervera: I recently had the opportunity to enjoy Venezuelan food, and I must say the seasoning was exceptional. Each dish was filled with rich, authentic flavors that reflect the true essence of this wonderful cuisine. However, one aspect I feel could be improved is the sauces that accompanied the arepas. In my experience, I would have preferred the sauces to be freshly made at the restaurant. Homemade sauces not only provide a more natural flavor but also elevate the overall dining experience. While the sauces offered were good, a taste of that freshness would make a huge difference, ideally complementing the arepas and other dishes. In short, the Venezuelan food I tried was delicious, and the seasoning was the star of the evening. With a small adjustment to the preparation of the sauces, Im sure the experience would be even more impressive. I will definitely return and hope to see improvements in this area!

5 /5 Junsen Ohno: My husband and I finally tried the Venezuelan restaurant Paparepas in Renton. I passed by it daily on my way to work and was intrigued. We ordered the Asado negro tri-tip steak, Arroz Negro (squid with squid ink rice), and ceviche. For drinks, my husband ordered the mango juice and I had the Modelo beer. The ceviche came quickly with chips. The rockfish was flavored with lime and accompanied with thinly sliced onions and red peppers. The underlying flavor was not over powering and just right for my palate. The lightly breaded squid was tender and placed atop the molded inked rice reminiscent of the squid ink pasta in Venice. The steak asado was stew-like accompanied with fried yuca which I thought at first was French fried potatoes, and a salad. The experience in total was lovely. The place had original paintings. We were fortunate to have come on a Friday as a live performance was a surprise. We were entertained with Latin and pop music on keyboard and guitar. Love this new place. We plan to return frequently.

5 /5 Jacob Petsche: We have been here many times and we have a great experience every time! The happy hour is awesome, the drinks are delicious, and the food is always great! The bar has a very cool setting and a chill retro vibe. The service team is always friendly and welcoming. We will continue to keep come back and try more items on the menu!

5 /5 Tristan Ingold: An amazing Venezuelan restaurant located on the hilltop in Renton! The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. I highly recommend getting the fried cheese, the shrimp, and the shredded beef. Everything was flavorful yet simple. We also got cocktails which were fun and delicious. They have a great happy hour earlier and later in the night with live music and karaoke select Fridays and Saturdays which could make for a fun night out!
