A home style combination of hispanic and middle eastern cuisine meets in the best way at Are-Pitas. Come here for warm and hearty food, as their lengthy menu invites you to try everything. I will definitely continue to come back here.

Venezuelan and Lebanese are an odd but delicious combination.
This is a casual, modestly priced diner near the USF campus with ample seating and a varied menu. There are no boring burgers here.
We had the chicken shwarma and the Venezuela arepa. Both items were flavorful, hot, and made with fresh ingredients. Portions were plentiful.
Service was fast and friendly.
The location was a little difficult to find. It's in a tiny strip mall behind an apartment building.
The unusual name Are-pita is a combination of arepa and pita -- two mainstays on the menu. Both are favorite foods of the owner.
Cons: only one. There was an odd smell that offset the delicious food aroma. Maybe from the salon next door or the AC or the bathroom? The place was very clean and tidy, so the source was not apparent.

Great food, excellent environment, warm and friendly folks. My husband and I came across this restaurant as we were driving in the plaza deciding where to eat. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left the staff was absolutely amazing. Janet was super helpful, friendly and patient with us as we took our time in deciding on what to order. Their food is FANTASTICALLY delicious, wonderfully balanced and flavorful. The preparation was done with attentiveness to details - just look at the photos! Their falafel was delicious and the pulled chicken platter was full of flavor. Highly recommend this restaurant you won't be disappointed! 💖💖💖

Rare find!! Lebanese and Venezuelan cuisine done the traditional way 🤙🏾 Very delicious 🤤 We had to try a few empanadas, as well! The Chicken, beef and cheese empanadas were to die for 💯 The staff was so friendly and helped us navigate the menu by giving us samples and comparisons to food we're familiar with. Awesome service!! The fresh fruit juices are amazing and will compliment any dish you eat 🌯
