If you're in Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and craving a taste of Venezuela, Arepera El Volante is a must-visit destination. This charming Venezuelan restaurant located at 42, C. Menores, 25, 38678 Adeje, offers a cozy dining atmosphere paired with breathtaking ocean views.

As you step inside, the warm ambiance envelops you, inviting you to explore the vibrant flavors of Venezuelan cuisine. The star of the show here is undoubtedly the arepas—delicious cornmeal pockets stuffed with a variety of fresh fillings. Customers rave about their favorites, with standout options like carne mechada (pulled meat) and the tantalizing Reina (chicken and avocado). Each bite transports you to the heart of Venezuela, bursting with flavor and authenticity.

The restaurant prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients, ensuring that each dish is not only satisfying but also freshly made. With tapas selections that leave patrons reminiscing long after their meal, you'll understand why so many guests, including Martin B., declare, "You cannot even remember the last time I ate this well.”

Dining at Arepera El Volante isn't just about food; it’s about the experience. The friendly staff makes every guest feel at home. Although there might be a language barrier, as noted by N horsewood, it doesn't detract from the welcoming vibe. Here, you can enjoy a quick lunchtime snack while soaking up the sunny Tenerife atmosphere, just like A Gary Ord did.

However, every restaurant has room for improvement. Some guests have mentioned feeling a bit uncomfortable due to the staff's watchful presence and issues with outdoor smoking, as highlighted by Ország Péter. Nevertheless, the overwhelming praise for the quality of food and the scenic views outweighs these minor hiccups.

Arepera El Volante also provides convenient parking, making it an easy stop whether you're heading up to Mount Teide or exploring the coast. So why not treat yourself to a delightful culinary journey? Come visit Arepera El Volante, where every meal comes with a side of stunning views and a taste of Venezuela right on the sunny coast of Tenerife.

Food was tasty and the place looked good with the fabulous ocean view, waitresses were kind but when we went to the toilette they were watching us and made us a bit uncomfortable, but maybe we just misunderstood the situation, i dont know. We were sitting next to the balcony, the last one in the row, and a man came next to us from an other table and started smoking... i know its not the restaurant's fault however the waitresses could have done something, but maybe im just too sensitive for the smoking smell. But overall it is 4 stars for the mentioned reasons.

Quick snack at lunchtime, not many clients in. Nice to sit out in sunshine

Amazing food, you can taste all is freshly made. We had a selection of tapas, and I cannot even remember the last time I ate this well. The hostess is amazing, and you feel very welcome and well taken care of. Edit: Went twice, was amazing both times. Thank you!

The food here is amazing. Great friendly staff and an excellent view. The Arepas are to die for. The staff were not very fluent in English and I am not that good at Spanish. But this was no problem. Stopped in here on my way up Teide for lunch. Was not disappointed. The Papa's bravas are the best in Tenerife.

When she said the arepa is very small, it is indeed very small… the pulled meat (carne mechada) one is good, the Reina (chicken and avocado) is less tasty. View is good although we were too late to see it. Has parking.

First of all this was 1 of the only places open so 5 stars for that , Second it’s traditional so I got what I was looking for ! If you’re expecting a Michelin star … go to one of them places . I was happy with the vide I was happy with the food it was exactly what I was looking for so I got what I expected and I will be going back tomorrow or the next day !

Atmosphere feels very local, great panorama view, menu and waitress only spanish language. But prices are reasonable and food is awesome.
